Public bug reported: Guys,
I'm seeing an error right after first steps towards enabling OpenvSwitch with DPDK on Xenial, easy to reproduce: -- NOTE: Instructions presented on an Intel post, also face this problem: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-open-vswitch-with-dpdk-on-ubuntu -- Steps to reproduce: * Installing apt update apt install dpdk openvswitch-switch-dpdk update-alternatives --set ovs-vswitchd /usr/lib/openvswitch-switch-dpdk /ovs-vswitchd-dpdk * Configuring - Set DPDK_OPTS in "/etc/default/openvswitch-switch" file: DPDK_OPTS='--dpdk -c 0x3 -n 4' - Set NR_2M_PAGES in "/etc/dpdk/dpdk.conf" NR_2M_PAGES=64 Then, just reboot the box, to make sure that it will come enabled. You can see that "ps axf | grep dpdk" will show that openvswitch is, apparently, working with DPDK! But, is it really working? The BUG, run "ovs-vswitchd log", look: --- root@xenial-1:~# ovs-vswitchd log 2016-03-08T05:08:35Z|00001|ovs_numa|INFO|Discovered 4 CPU cores on NUMA node 0 2016-03-08T05:08:35Z|00002|ovs_numa|INFO|Discovered 1 NUMA nodes and 4 CPU cores 2016-03-08T05:08:35Z|00003|reconnect|INFO|log: connecting... 2016-03-08T05:08:35Z|00004|reconnect|INFO|log: connection attempt failed (Address family not supported by protocol) 2016-03-08T05:08:35Z|00005|reconnect|INFO|log: waiting 1 seconds before reconnect 2016-03-08T05:08:36Z|00006|reconnect|INFO|log: connecting... 2016-03-08T05:08:36Z|00007|reconnect|INFO|log: connection attempt failed (Address family not supported by protocol) 2016-03-08T05:08:36Z|00008|reconnect|INFO|log: waiting 2 seconds before reconnect ^C2016-03-08T05:08:36Z|00009|fatal_signal|WARN|terminating with signal 2 (Interrupt) --- Someone else is also facing this problem: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/networking/topic/611366 And I strong believe that because of this problem, it is not possible to use a DPDK 10G NIC device, with OpenvSwitch+DPDK, thread on Ubuntu Devel mail list (I'm guessing here): https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel- discuss/2016-March/016287.html I really appreciate any help! Thanks!
