Hi Christian,
so what command are you using to set the 4 queues in your example in
openvswitch?
As you described the ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs=4
applies to the pmd threads only but not to vhost user, so how does one set
multiple queues for vhostuser in 2.5.0 or below?
Your problem, the queues not showing up in the guest, is not present in my vm.
Perhaps my config helps you with that:

Hi Felix,
you mean that warning?
2016-04-04T08:53:28Z|00038|netdev|WARN|vhost-user-0: arguments provided to
device that is not configurable
That command you use is for OpenVswitch post 2.5.
You would have to build and use a very recent Openvswitch from the repositories.
But IMO 2.5 is the latest supported release, quite new and you should work with
that.
As former people pointed out, just the format changed.
The "old" if a few weeks apply for older config is global (not per device)
ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs=4
Also this does NOT set the multiqueues the guest shall get.
It sets the number of rx queues the openvswitch-dpdk shall use for its PMDs.
The sad part of all of this is - that I seemed to have helped you just to have
the issue of not having all queues in the guest on my system now.
So to all on the List if there are obvious other things to check please let me
know.

Hi Christian,
thanks, that worked like a charm, and also my vm now reports 2 queues, but no
communication is working on the interface (as ovs still warns about unsettable
options)
i will try the ubuntu packages for ovs-dpdk and dpdk and let you know if this
works (as i suppose you dont get this warning/error?)

Hi Felix,
this is Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial).
And I think several of your components need to be upgraded for multiqueue to
properly work.
IIRC at least your qemu and libvirt are too old.
Please feel free to upgrade your system and go on - you'll get all the newer
versions and can go on with your experiments.
"sudo do-release-upgrade -d" should do the job for you.
Yet regarding your initial question you see that the guest not "seeing" its
multiqueues still applies.
Here I hope for some insight from others on the List what else could/should be
checked.

Betreff: Re: [ovs-discuss] [OVS-DPDK] vhost-user with multiple queues does not

Hi,
I thought that is rather close to my setup so gave it a look as well.
And at least in the current setup I can confirm what Felix sees:
I added
<driver queues='4'/>
for the vhost_user device as in libvirt since
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-June/msg00201.html
The section libvirt generates out of that is
-chardev socket,id=charnet1,path=
/var/run/openvswitch/vhost-user-2 -netdev
type=vhost-user,id=hostnet1,chardev=charnet1,queues=4 -device
virtio-net-pci,mq=on,vectors=10,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=52:54:00
:62:47:b6,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4
So the 4 queues get here by libvirt, and also the 2*queues+2 vectors get into
the commandline.
I think it has all that was once summarized here
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/vhost-user-ovs-dpdk#Enabling_multi-queue
Yet the device in the guest looks like this (no queues able to be combined)
ethtool -l eth1
Channel parameters for eth1:
Pre-set maximums:
RX: 0
TX: 0
Other: 0
Combined: 1
Current hardware settings:
RX: 0
TX: 0
Other: 0
Combined: 1

Hi,
i followed the Install.DPDK.md<http://Install.DPDK.md> initially, thats where i
got
ovs-vsctl set Interface vhost-user-2 options:n_rxq=<requested queues>
to set the rx queues for vhost-user interfaces. Im using libvirt, so im not
passing any cli arguments, rather my xml snippet looks like this:
<interface type='vhostuser'>
<mac address='52:54:00:e3:eb:b2'/>
<source type='unix' path='/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/vhost-user-0'

<source type='unix' path='/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/vhost-user-1'
mode='client'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver queues='2'/>
</interface>
I also tried with an additional name parameter like so:
<driver name='vhost' queues='2'/>
as stated for "running ovs-vswitchd with DPDK backend inside a VM" (which im
not doing right now), but this also did not change anything.

Can you share the command line you are using to start the VM? Do you have the
necessary fields set correctly? eg.
qemu-system-x86_64 ...
-chardev socket,id=char0,path=/my/sock
-netdev type=vhost-user,id=mynet1,chardev=char0,vhostforce,queues=2
-device
virtio-net-pci,mac=00:00:00:00:00:01,netdev=mynet1,mrg_rxbuf=off,mq=on,vectors=6
There's more info in INSTALL.DPDK.md<http://INSTALL.DPDK.md> on configuring
multiqueue.
Thanks,
Ciara
