Failure accessing netmap: Invalid argument

[KatherineJXY]

$ sudo pkt-gen -i ens1f1 -f tx -b1 -l 1400
951.291185 main [3036] interface is ens1f1
951.291276 main [3167] running on 1 cpus (have 20)

I got the "invalid argument" error when I was trying to generate packets using pkt-gen.

$ ethtool -i ens1f1
driver: mlx5_core
version: 5.4-3.6.8
firmware-version: 16.31.2006 (MT_0000000008)
expansion-rom-version:
bus-info: 0000:65:00.1
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: no
supports-register-dump: no
supports-priv-flags: yes

I compile netmap with driver mlx5
$./configure --drivers=mlx5

And these are the details of the netmap folder

I got the same error when I used netmap with tcpreplay

$ sudo tcpreplay --netmap -M 3000 -i ens1f1 /home/r6/scripts-bk/trace/univ1_trace/*
Switching network driver for ens1f1 to netmap bypass mode...
Fatal Error: failed to open device ens1f1: Failure accessing netmap.
        Request for netmap version 14 failed.
        Compiled netmap driver is version 14.
        Error=Invalid argument

Is it a problem with the NIC (for example, not support)?

Is there any relevant message in the kernel log? (sudo dmesg)
