[ovs-dev] [PATCH 1/2] netdev-dpdk: Restore txq/rxq number if initialization fails.

Stokes, Ian ian.stokes at intel.com
Fri Jul 24 16:15:58 UTC 2015


I have re-tested the patch on a number of our systems with the 
latest commit on master and I cannot reproduce the error you 
mention below.

The only time I have seen that error occur would be if there was 
no interface bound to igb_uio driver correctly before calling 

"ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk"

I'm wondering if that’s the issue. Could you check this?

Thanks
Ian
