DPDK介绍见：www.dpdk.org

本文介绍的步骤基本适用于dpdk 1.7.0 - dpdk 2.0.0 各版本。只是setup.sh显示的菜单有一些小的不同；
同样的，也适用于ubuntu更高版本（已在ubuntu 12.04+及14.04上验证过)

1. 所用系统与软件版本

系统：Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS 64位， CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 64位
dpdk: 1.7.0 (下载页）

dpdk 1.7.1 经过试验，发现在这两个系统上都有问题， 运行各示例程序都有以下错误
  EAL: Error reading from file descriptor

这个bug已经由dpdk的开发人员修复，patch内容如下：

在虚拟机里使用时，打上以上的补丁，或手工修改文件后重新编译即可。

2. 虚拟机配置

虚拟机软件：VMWare WorkStation 10.0.1 build-1379776
CPU： 2个CPU， 每个CPU2个核心
内存： 1GB+
网卡：intel网卡*2， 用于dpdk试验；另一块网卡用于和宿主系统进行通信

3. Ubuntu 12.04上的配置

3.1 准备

需要安装gcc及其他一些小工具等，默认都有了，没有的话运行sudo apt-get install装一下。dkdk的一些脚本用到了python，也装一下。

3.2 通过setup脚本进行配置

首先运行su切换到root权限，root没有开的话使用

sudo passwd root

来开一下。

dpdk提供了一个方便的配置脚本： <dpdk>/tools/setup.sh，通过它可以方便地配置环境。
1） 设置环境变量，这里是linux 64位的配置

export RTE_SDK=<dpdk主目录>
export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc

2）运行setup.sh，显示如下

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 RTE_SDK exported as /home/hack/dpdk-1.7.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 1: Select the DPDK environment to build
----------------------------------------------------------
[1] i686-native-linuxapp-gcc
[2] i686-native-linuxapp-icc
[3] x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc
[4] x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-icc
[5] x86_64-native-bsdapp-gcc
[6] x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
[7] x86_64-native-linuxapp-icc

----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 2: Setup linuxapp environment
----------------------------------------------------------
[8] Insert IGB UIO module
[9] Insert VFIO module
[10] Insert KNI module
[11] Setup hugepage mappings for non-NUMA systems
[12] Setup hugepage mappings for NUMA systems
[13] Display current Ethernet device settings
[14] Bind Ethernet device to IGB UIO module
[15] Bind Ethernet device to VFIO module
[16] Setup VFIO permissions

----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 3: Run test application for linuxapp environment
----------------------------------------------------------
[17] Run test application ($RTE_TARGET/app/test)
[18] Run testpmd application in interactive mode ($RTE_TARGET/app/testpmd)

----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 4: Other tools
----------------------------------------------------------
[19] List hugepage info from /proc/meminfo

----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 5: Uninstall and system cleanup
----------------------------------------------------------
[20] Uninstall all targets
[21] Unbind NICs from IGB UIO driver
[22] Remove IGB UIO module
[23] Remove VFIO module
[24] Remove KNI module
[25] Remove hugepage mappings

[26] Exit Script

选择6， 进行编译

3）选择8， 插入igb_uio模块

4）选择11，配置大页内存（非NUMA），选择后会提示你选择页数，输入64，128什么的即可

Removing currently reserved hugepages
Unmounting /mnt/huge and removing directory

  Input the number of 2MB pages
  Example: to have 128MB of hugepages available, enter '64' to
  reserve 64 * 2MB pages
Number of pages: 128

选择19，可以确认一下大页内存的配置：

AnonHugePages:         0 kB
HugePages_Total:     128
HugePages_Free:      128
HugePages_Rsvd:        0
HugePages_Surp:        0
Hugepagesize:       2048 kB

5）选择14， 绑定dpdk要使用的网卡

Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
<none>

Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:02:01.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' if=eth0 drv=e1000 unused=igb_uio *Active*
0000:02:06.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' if=eth1 drv=e1000 unused=igb_uio 
0000:02:07.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' if=eth2 drv=e1000 unused=igb_uio 

Other network devices
=====================
<none>

Enter PCI address of device to bind to IGB UIO driver: 0000:02:06.0

绑定好后，选择13，可以查看当前的网卡配置：

Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
0000:02:06.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' drv=igb_uio unused=e1000
0000:02:07.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' drv=igb_uio unused=e1000

0000:02:01.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' if=eth0 drv=e1000 unused=igb_uio *Active*

Other network devices
=====================
<none>

6）选择18， 运行testpmd测试程序

注意，运行这个测试程序，虚拟机最好提供2个网卡用于dpdk。

  Enter hex bitmask of cores to execute testpmd app on
  Example: to execute app on cores 0 to 7, enter 0xff
bitmask: f

如果没问题，按回车后会出现以下输出：

Done.

3.3 通过命令配置

最好切换到root权限。

1）编译dpdk

进入dpdk主目录<dpdk>，输入

make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc

进行编译

2）配置大页内存（非NUMA）

echo 128 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
mkdir /mnt/huge
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge

可以用以下命令查看大页内存状态：

cat /proc/meminfo | grep Huge

3）安装igb_uio驱动

modprobe uio
insmod x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko

4）绑定网卡

先看一下当前网卡的状态

 ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --status

Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
<none>

Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:02:01.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' if=eth0 drv=e1000 unused=igb_uio *Active*

Other network devices
=====================
0000:02:06.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' unused=e1000,igb_uio
0000:02:07.0 '82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)' unused=e1000,igb_uio

进行绑定：

./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b igb_uio 0000:02:06.0
./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py -b igb_uio 0000:02:07.0

如果网卡有接口名，如eth1, eth2, 也可以在-b igb_uio后面使用接口名， 而不使用pci地址。

5） 运行testpmd测试程序

 ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0x3 -n 2 -- -i

6）编译运行其他示例程序

<dpdk>/examples下面有很多示例程序，这些程序在dpdk编译时，没有被编译。这里以编译helloworld为例，首先要设置环境变量：

export RTE_SDK=<dpdk主目录>
export RTE_TARGET=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc

之后进入<dpdk>/examples/helloworld，运行make，成功会生成build目录，其中有编译好的helloworld程序。

4. CentOS 7.0上的配置

4.1 准备

安装CentOS虚拟机时，如果选择minimal安装，还需要安装其下的基本开发工具集(含gcc，python等）

另外，dpdk提供的dpdk_nic_bind.py脚本中会调用到lspci命令，这个默认没有安装，运行以下命令安装(不安装此工具则无法绑定网卡）：

yum install pciutils

ifconfig默认也没有安装，如果想用它，应运行：

yum install net-tools

在CentOS上，要绑定给dpdk使用的网卡在绑定前，可能是活动的(active)，应将其禁用，否则无法绑定。禁用的一种方式是运行：

ifconfig eno33554984 down

eno33554984是接口名，如同eth0一样。

在CentOS上使用setup.sh和通过命令编译和配置dpdk的过程与Ubuntu一样，这里就从略了。
