Netronome's EULA

Linux kernels exhibit undesired behavior in PCIe configuration code. Netronome submitted a fix to the kernel maintainers for this issue which has been accepted into kernel version 4.5. Some recent Linux releases do also implement the patch already. This can be confirmed using the following command: 

grep quirk /boot/System.map-`uname -r` | grep nfp
ffffffff81362fc0 t quirk_nfp6000
ffffffff81958278 r __pci_fixup_quirk_nfp6000305
ffffffff81958290 r __pci_fixup_quirk_nfp6000304
ffffffff819582a8 r __pci_fixup_quirk_nfp6000303

If no output is produced, a patch needs to be applied to the kernel source code, or an already patched kernel needs to be installed. For your convenience, packages containing patched versions of the default kernels for various Ubuntu and RHEL/CentOS variants are available from Netronome:  

To install, transfer the package files to a subdirectory on your system, unpack the tarball, change to the relevant subdirectory, and enter:

dpkg -i *.deb 

on Ubuntu systems, or:

rpm -Uvh *.rpm 

on RHEL/CentOS systems.
