            Bug ID: 1673
           Summary: failed to parse device "net_pcap0"
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 21.11
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---

[Background Introduction]
"I understand that the KNI feature was removed in DPDK version 23. I want
DPDK to load TAP devices to communicate with the kernel. The control-plane packets [ICMP] received from the physical port should be handled by the TAP devices <–vdev=net_tap0 –vdev=net_tap1>. After processing by DPDK, the user-plane packets will be sent back to the physical port via DPDK’s TX interface."

[To create a TAP device]
sudo ip tuntap add dev dpdk_tap mode tap
sudo ip link set dpdk_tap up
sudo ip addr add 5.5.5.88/24 dev dpdk_tap
[To create a TAP device]

    snprintf(option[opt_num++], 128, "dpdk_tap");
    snprintf(option[opt_num++], 128, "--main-lcore=%u", dns_cfg.mx_cpu);
    snprintf(option[opt_num++], 128, "--file-prefix=dpdk_tap");
    snprintf(option[opt_num++], 128, "-c0x%016llx%016llx%016llx%016llx",
            core_mask[3], core_mask[2], core_mask[1], core_mask[0]);
    snprintf(option[opt_num++], 128, "-n4");
    snprintf(option[opt_num++], 128, "--vdev=net_pcap0,iface=dpdk_tap");
    snprintf(option[opt_num++], 128, "--log-level=lib.eal:debug");
    dpdk_opt_info_get(&opt_num, option, &dns_cfg);
    dpdk_pci_info_get(&opt_num, option);

    int ret;
    if((ret = rte_eal_init(opt_num, option)) < 0)
    {
        printf("!error: rte_eal_init failed\n");
        return false;
    }
