Before this change, changing link status on a virtio-net device would trigger a segfault in the interrupt thread : $ mkdir -p /mnt/huge $ echo 256 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages $ mount -t hugetlbfs none /mnt/huge $ lspci |grep Ethernet 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device $ modprobe uio $ insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko $ echo 0000:00:03.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:03.0/driver/unbind $ echo 1af4 1000 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/igb_uio/new_id $ ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0x6 -n 3 -w 0000:00:03.0 -- -i --txqflags=0xf01 --total-num-mbufs 2048 [snip] EAL: PCI device 0000:00:03.0 on NUMA socket -1 EAL: probe driver: 1af4:1000 rte_virtio_pmd Interactive-mode selected Configuring Port 0 (socket 0) Port 0: DE:AD:DE:01:02:03 Checking link statuses...
