[Bug 1554214] Re: Usege of vfio-pci module via /etc/dpdk/interfaces doesn't work

[ChristianEhrhardt]

Hi - here a minor update

Regarding:
NOTE: To make it work manually, the module "vfio-pci" must be declared at "/etc/modules" as well.

Yes it is required to load the module before dpdk_nic_bind, if running manually you have to do it some way on your own e.g. /etc/modules.
If using the init scripts they will take care of it before calling dpdk_nic_bind.


Also regarding vfio in general there is a lot of things that can go wrong regarding the actual iommu setup.
I don't think that is your issue, but as FYI you might want to read into the references in this mail => http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-February/033335.html

going on to try this on my machine now ...
