I have to practically identical systems, same hypervisor on each (Centos
7.x). =C2=A0In one, I have a 57800 card which works fine with DPDK with
SRIOV. =C2=A0In the other, I have a 57810 card which doesn't work with SR=
IOV.

For the 57810 I have tracked this down to the status block in the VF
failing to be updated. =C2=A0The linux driver works fine but it appears t=
o
use a slightly different scheme -- writing some sort of fastpath status
block generation per interrupt.

Does anyone have any suggestions or a programming guide for this device?
