To use the DPDK QAT PMD an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The
VF devices exposed by this driver will be used by QAT PMD.
To enable QAT in DPDK, follow the instructions mentioned in
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html
Quick instructions as follows:
.. code-block:: console
make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
make
If you are running on kernel 4.4 or greater, see instructions for
`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. If you are on a kernel earlier
than 4.4, see `Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
