DPDK mbuf pool with SR-IOV one RX/TX queue

[SMisr1]

Is it possible for two processes to share the same mbuf_pool in SR-IOV with single rx/tx queue?

rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(mbuf_pool_name, NB_MBUFS,

MBUF_CACHE_SIZE, 0, RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE,

rte_socket_id());

We have seen that it does not work. However, with PCI passthrough of whole NIC, we can easily share same mbuf_pool with many processes.

What are the limitations with SR-IOV?

The device is question is as follows:

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)

06:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection (rev 01)
