I used the igb_uio, not the vfio-pci.
and, when i bind the vfio , error like this:
[root at node-4 ~]# modprobe vfio-pci
[root at node-4 ~]# dpdk-devbind --bind=vfio-pci eth2
Error: bind failed for 0000:20:00.1 - Cannot bind to driver vfio-pci
Error: unbind failed for 0000:20:00.1 - Cannot open /sys/bus/pci/drivers//unbind
