Hi all, I am running the vhost sample application on my server.
According to the dpdk-sample-applications-user-guide.pdf, I run the Virtual Machine with vhost-user enabled. Following is the command that is used to run the virtual machine. *qemu-system-x86_64 /root/leo/ubuntu-1.img -enable-kvm -m 1024 -vnc :5 -chardev \socket,id=char1,path=/root/leo/dpdk-2.0.0/examples/vhost/usvhost -netdev type=vhost-user, \id=mynet1,chardev=char1,vhostforce -device virtio-net-pci,mac=00:00:00:00:00:01,netdev=mynet1 \-object memory-backend-file,id=mem,size=1024M,mem-path=/dev/hugepages,share=on -numa node,memdev=mem -mem-prealloc* After the Virtual Machine is started, I found the offloads of the Virtual Machine's virtio-net network adapter are all disabled*.* The offloads status is checked with command* ethtool -k eth0*. I try to enables the offloads with ethtool command, but it does not work. My questions are: 1. Can the offloads of the guest's virtio-net network adapter be enabled when vhost-user is used? 2. If the offloads can't be enabled when vhost-user is used, what is the reason? It will be great if someone from the forum could give the answers and clues. Thanks. Leo
