I am trying to test the mlx5 performance on ubuntu 16.04, and when I run the
testpmd with mlx nic,
Some error happened.
EAL: Probe PCI driver: net_mlx5 (15b3:1018) device: 0000:af:02.3 (socket 1)
This PCI device ID, 15b3:1018, represents a virtual function (VF)
according to https://pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/15b3/1018. Why are you
using a VF in this situation? Are you running inside a VM or on a bare
metal host?
net_mlx5: mlx5.c:3322: mlx5_pci_probe(): no Verbs device matches PCI device
0000:af:02.3, are kernel drivers loaded?
EAL: Requested device 0000:af:02.3 cannot be used
EAL: Probe PCI driver: net_mlx5 (15b3:1018) device: 0000:af:02.4 (socket 1)
net_mlx5: mlx5.c:3322: mlx5_pci_probe(): no Verbs device matches PCI device
0000:af:02.4, are kernel drivers loaded?
EAL: Requested device 0000:af:02.4 cannot be used
EAL: Bus (pci) probe failed.
The code in mlx5_os_pci_probe() suggests that the DPDK mlx5 driver
didn't find any Infiniband devices on your system. Is your adapter
enabled for Infiniband on the host system? What does "lspci | grep
Mellanox" return? What about "ibv_devinfo"?
