h3. configuration hugepages: 

* 2M (1024*2k): hugepages=1024 (at runtime: echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages)

* 4G (4x1G): default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=4 (only works at boot time via grub)

<pre>

mkdir /mnt/huge

mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge

</pre>

h3. Compile and load modules: 

_Note: source tools/setup.sh is a helper tools for this but works only with IGB driver not e1000e_

<pre>

# apt-get install make gcc linux-headers-amd64

# make config T=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc

# make T=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc

..

Build complete

# modprobe uio  (I think this is not useful)

# insmod build/kmod/rte_kni.ko (I think this is not useful)

# insmod build/kmod/igb_uio.ko (I think this is not useful)

# ./tools/pci_unbind.py --status

h3. Prepare examples programs:

<pre>

# export RTE_SDK=/root/sileht/dpdk-1.6.0r1

# export RTE_TARGET=build

# cd /root/sileht/

# cp -r $RTE_SDK/examples/helloworld my_rte_app

# cd my_rte_app

h2. Limitation SPF carte intel:

Une fois le module igb_uio changé sur les:

<pre>

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)

</pre>

Un flags de l'eeprom change et le module ixgbe ne charge plus les ports de la carte qui n'ont pas des SFP+ intel avec le message d'erreur suivant:

<pre>

[  563.069683] ixgbe 0000:01:00.0: failed to load because an unsupported SFP+ or QSFP module type was detected.

[  563.069786] ixgbe 0000:01:00.0: Reload the driver after installing a supported module.

</pre>

Pour contourner le problème:

<pre>

modprobe ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1 # allow_any_sfp=1 suivant le kernel

</pre>

ou 

<pre>

echo "options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe_any_sfp.conf

update-initramfs -u -k all

</pre>

La carte fonctionnera à nouveau avec le message suivant:

<pre>
