Hi Jiahao, Well that’s good news. I did try ctrl-c exit from both ioat_perf and the new accel_perf that I'm working on now and they both worked fine. BTW, accel_perf is being developed as the perf tool for the new (renamed and expanded) acceleration framework that you might be interested in. It's not quite feature complete yet but for the upcoming release in just a few weeks the accel framework will include support for IOAT, DSA (next gen IOAT not yet available in Si but once it is it will be a huge performance boost, plus new features) as well as sw implementations for all the features so that the framework API can be used in any environment. Let me know if you'd like more info on any of that. Now, wrt your IOAT issue, are you saying that following simply using a bogus address in a command that you're in a state where powering down the machine and powering it that some channels are still bad? Please confirm, that sounds "odd" for sure. Also please confirm that you power cycled, not just rebooted.

The output of /scripts/setup.sh is same as normal In fact, I found out how such error happens. It's because I accidentally launch ioat copy on system malloc-ed memory space, I've already fixed that in my code. But there are still some errors around. After reboot, and run scripts/setup.sh again, there are still 4 channels (1 channel from each process) cannot be attached: E0716 19:02:24.496325 189532 ioat.c:480] [SPDK/ioat_channel_start] could not start channel: status = 0x3 error = 0 E0716 19:02:24.496567 189532 ioat.c:547] [SPDK/ioat_enum_cb] ioat_attach() failed EAL: Requested device 0000:00:04.4 cannot be used E0716 19:02:24.527472 189532 ioat.c:480] [SPDK/ioat_channel_start] could not start channel: status = 0x3 error = 0 E0716 19:02:24.527948 189532 ioat.c:547] [SPDK/ioat_enum_cb] ioat_attach() failed EAL: Requested device 0000:40:04.4 cannot be used E0716 19:02:24.558609 189532 ioat.c:480] [SPDK/ioat_channel_start] could not start channel: status = 0x3 error = 0 E0716 19:02:24.559036 189532 ioat.c:547] [SPDK/ioat_enum_cb] ioat_attach() failed EAL: Requested device 0000:80:04.4 cannot be used E0716 19:02:24.589241 189532 ioat.c:480] [SPDK/ioat_channel_start] could not start channel: status = 0x3 error = 0 E0716 19:02:24.589682 189532 ioat.c:547] [SPDK/ioat_enum_cb] ioat_attach() failed EAL: Requested device 0000:c0:04.4 cannot be used The other channels are working fine now, but these errors are strange.
