problem with testpmd on dpdk and ovs in ubuntu 18.04

问题

i have a X520-SR2 10G Network Card, i gonna use that to create 2 virtual interfaces with OpenvSwitch that compiled with dpdk (installed from repository of ubuntu 18.04) and test this virtual interfaces with testpmd, i do following jobs :

Create Bridge

$ ovs-vsctl add-br br0 -- set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev

bind dpdk ports

$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk options:dpdk-devargs=0000:01:00.0 ofport_request=1
$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk1 -- set Interface dpdk1 type=dpdk options:dpdk-devargs=0000:01:00.1 ofport_request=2

create dpdkvhostuser ports

$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdkvhostuser0 -- set Interface dpdkvhostuser0 type=dpdkvhostuser ofport_request=3
$ ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdkvhostuser1 -- set Interface dpdkvhostuser1 type=dpdkvhostuser ofport_request=4

define flow directions

# clear all directions
$ ovs-ofctl del-flows br0

Add new flow directions

$ ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=3,dl_type=0x800,idle_timeout=0,action=output:4
$ ovs-ofctl add-flow br0 in_port=4,dl_type=0x800,idle_timeout=0,action=output:3

Dump flow directions

$ ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0
 cookie=0x0, duration=851.504s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, ip,in_port=dpdkvhostuser0 actions=output:dpdkvhostuser1
 cookie=0x0, duration=851.500s, table=0, n_packets=0, n_bytes=0, ip,in_port=dpdkvhostuser1 actions=output:dpdkvhostuser0

now i run testpmd:

$ testpmd -c 0x3 -n 4 --socket-mem 512,512 --proc-type auto --file-prefix testpmd --no-pci --vdev=virtio_user0,path=/var/run/openvswitch/dpdkvhostuser0 --vdev=virtio_user1,path=/var/run/openvswitch/dpdkvhostuser1 -- --burst=64 -i --txqflags=0xf00 --disable-hw-vlan

version of softwares:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04
Linux Kernel: 4.15
OVS: 2.9
DPDK: 17.11.3

what should i do now ?? where is the problem from?

回答1:

finally catch the problem , The problem is size of socket memory allocation, i change --socket-mem value to 1024,1024 (1024M for each numa node) and create packets with pktgen (as same using --socket-mem 1024,1024).
Everything works fine.
