# DPDK requires hugepages. I reserved 4 * 1GB hugepages on the host. ENABLE INTEL IOMMU and Hugepages

I use the `vfio-pci` driver for DPDK, so SR-IOV should be enabled on the host. Other drivers like `igb_uio` or `uio_pci_generic` don't need this IOMMU. For more information about Linux drivers for DPDK, see https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/linux_drivers.html.

DPDK requires hugepages. I reserved 4 * 1GB hugepages on the host.

- Make sure IOMMU and SR-IOV are enabled in BIOS.
- Edit /etc/default/grub, on the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, add `intel_iommu=on iommu=pt default_hugepagesz=1G hugepagesz=1G hugepages=4`.
- Apply the change by running `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`.

update-grub
update-initramfs -u

## Auto-load `vfio-pci` on boot

Run `echo vfio-pci >> /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf`.

## Reboot and verification

- After rebooting, check if IOMMU is functioning by reading driver message:
```sh
dmesg | grep -e DMAR -e IOMMU
```

- Check if hugepages are reserved:

```sh
apt install libhugetlbfs-bin
hugeadm --explain
```
