Hello, I have a standalone utility that implements ICMP ping over DPDK. When I run the utility with i40e PMD over VF it stacks with the following output and never recovers. The last reported tx_tail value was 4095. TX queue length in that run was 4096 The fault was reproduced on several Dell PowerEdge R630 servers
