[dpdk-users] segmention fault while accessing mbuf

[Alex Kiselev]

Hello,

I've got a segmentation fault error in my data plane path.
I am pretty sure the code where the segfault happened is ok,
so my guess is that I somehow received a corrupted mbuf.
How could I troubleshoot this? Is there any way?
Is it possible that other threads of the application
corrupted that mbuf?
I would really appriciate any advice.
Thanks.

Code:

nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(port_id, queue_id, pkts_burst,
                  MAX_PKT_BURST);

...

for (i=0; i < vec_size; i++) {
        rte_prefetch0(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m_v[i], void *));

for (i=0; i < vec_size; i++) {
        m = m_v[i];
        eth_hdr = rte_pktmbuf_mtod(m, struct ether_hdr *);
	eth_type = rte_be_to_cpu_16(eth_hdr->ether_type);               <---
