Suricata

NOTE - Some of the errors in this bug report can be related as well to:
https://redmine.openinfosecfoundation.org/issues/1048

I have tried the latest (at the time of this ticket) 3.21 intel ixgbe drivers , plus pf_ring latest 6.0.2~ svn edition and ZC with the following config:

pfring:
  - interface: zc:eth3@0
    # Number of receive threads (>1 will enable experimental flow pinned
    # runmode)
    threads: 1
    # Default clusterid.  PF_RING will load balance packets based on flow.
    # All threads/processes that will participate need to have the same
    # clusterid.
    #cluster-id: 99
    # Default PF_RING cluster type. PF_RING can load balance per flow
or per hash.
    # This is only supported in versions of PF_RING > 4.1.1.
    cluster-type: cluster_flow
    # bpf filter for this interface
    #bpf-filter: tcp
    # Choose checksum verification mode for the interface. At the moment
    # of the capture, some packets may be with an invalid checksum due to
    # offloading to the network card of the checksum computation.
    # Possible values are:
    #  - rxonly: only compute checksum for packets received by network card.
    #  - yes: checksum validation is forced
    #  - no: checksum validation is disabled
    #  - auto: suricata uses a statistical approach to detect when
    #  checksum off-loading is used. (default)
    # Warning: 'checksum-validation' must be set to yes to have any validation
    #checksum-checks: auto
  # Second interface
  #- interface: eth1
  #  threads: 3
  #  cluster-id: 93

I have the following warnings and errs and a failure to start in general with ZC:
