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)

mkdir /mnt/huge
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge

Compile and load modules:¶

Note: source tools/setup.sh is a helper tools for this but works only with IGB driver not e1000e

# 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

Limitation SPF carte intel:¶

Une fois le module igb_uio changé sur les:

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

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:

[  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.

Pour contourner le problème:

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

ou

echo "options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe_any_sfp.conf
update-initramfs -u -k all

La carte fonctionnera à nouveau avec le message suivant:

[  908.361767] ixgbe 0000:01:00.0 (unregistered net_device): WARNING: Intel (R) Network Connections are quality tested using Intel (R) Ethernet Optics.  Using untested modules is not supported and may cause unstable operation or damage to the module or the adapter.  Intel Corporation is not responsible for any harm caused by using untested modules.
