Hi Team,

I am using DPDK 19.11 net_iavf under Linux 4.19 guest to drive vfNIC of Intel 
E810 cards. The host is ESXi 6.7.
What I found out is that, if I start the PMD the second time, the host shall 
detect MDD (malicious device detection) status and the TXRX of the vfNIC is 
disable.  (The first life of PMD is working fine)
Would prefer your hints/suggestions on how to work on this? Since upgrading to 
20.11 is kind of heavy for us, is there any specific incremental changes based 
on 19.11 to walk around this?
Many thanks for help,
Sincerely
  Liwu
