Thanks for the update. Sounds like you're already using DPDK 17.11? What about Mellanox driver level? Is the failure the same as you originally reported?
>From the reported error: pktio/dpdk.c:1538:dpdk_start():Queue setup failed: err=-12, port=0 odp_l2fwd.c:1671:main():Error: unable to start 0 This is a DPDK PMD driver error reported by rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(). In the Mellanox PMD (drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_rxq.c) this is the mlx5_rx_queue_setup() routine. The relevant code seems to be this: if (rxq != NULL) { DEBUG("%p: reusing already allocated queue index %u (%p)", (void *)dev, idx, (void *)rxq); if (priv->started) { priv_unlock(priv); return -EEXIST; } (*priv->rxqs)[idx] = NULL; rxq_cleanup(rxq_ctrl); /* Resize if rxq size is changed. */ if (rxq_ctrl->rxq.elts_n != log2above(desc)) { rxq_ctrl = rte_realloc(rxq_ctrl, sizeof(*rxq_ctrl) + (desc + desc_pad) * sizeof(struct rte_mbuf *), RTE_CACHE_LINE_SIZE); if (!rxq_ctrl) { ERROR("%p: unable to reallocate queue index %u", (void *)dev, idx); priv_unlock(priv); return -ENOMEM; } } } else { rxq_ctrl = rte_calloc_socket("RXQ", 1, sizeof(*rxq_ctrl) + (desc + desc_pad) * sizeof(struct rte_mbuf *), 0, socket); if (rxq_ctrl == NULL) { ERROR("%p: unable to allocate queue index %u", (void *)dev, idx); priv_unlock(priv); return -ENOMEM; } } The reported -12 error code is -ENOMEM so I'd say the issue is some sort of memory allocation failure.
