Bug description:
Guys,
I'm facing an issue here with both "ethtool" and "ip", while trying
to manage black-listed by DPDK PCI VirtIO devices.
You'll need an Ubuntu Xenial KVM guest, with 4 VirtIO vNIC cards, to
run those tests
PCI device example from inside a Xenial guest:
---
# lspci | grep Ethernet
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
00:06.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device
---
Where "ens3" is the first / default interface, attached to Libvirt's
"default" network. The "ens4" is reserved for "ethtool / ip" tests
(attached to another Libvirt's network without IPs or DHCP), "ens5"
will be "dpdk0" and "ens6" "dpdk1"...
---
*** How it works?
1- For example, try to enable multi-queue on DPDK's devices, boot
your Xenial guest, and run:
ethtool -L ens5 combined 4
ethtool -L ens6 combined 4
2- Install openvswitch-switch-dpdk configure DPDK and OVS and fire it
up.
https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/serverguide/DPDK.html
service openvswitch-switch stop
service dpdk stop
OVS DPDK Options (/etc/default/openvswitch-switch):
--
DPDK_OPTS='--dpdk -c 0x1 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --pci-blacklist 0000:00:03.0,0000:00:04.0'
--
service dpdk start
service openvswitch-switch start
- Enable multi-queue on OVS+DPDK inside of the VM:
ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs=4
ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0xff00
* Multi-queue apparently works! ovs-vswitchd consumes more that 100%
of CPU, meaning that it multi-queue is there...
*** Where it fails?
1- Reboot the VM and try to run ethtool again (or go straight to 2
below):
ethtool -L ens5 combined 4
2- Try to fire up ens4:
ip link set dev ens4 up
# FAIL! Both commands hangs, consuming 100% of guest's CPU...
So, it looks like a Linux fault, because it is "allowing" the DPDK
VirtIO App (a user land App), to interfere with kernel devices in a
strange way...
Best,
Thiago
