| Summary | Kernel crash when hot-unplug igb_uio device while DPDK application is running |
| Product | DPDK |
| Version | unspecified |
| Hardware | All |
| OS | All |
| Status | UNCONFIRMED |
| Severity | normal |

When device has been bound to igb_uio driver and application is running, hot-unplugging the device may cause kernel crash. Reason: When device is hot-unplugged, igb_uio driver will be removed which will destroy UIO resources. Later trying to access any UIO resource will cause kernel crash. Resolution/Workaround: If using DPDK for PCI HW hot-unplug, prefer to bind device with VFIO instead of IGB_UIO. Affected Environment/Platform: ALL. Driver/Module: igb_uio module.
