Hello, I encounter a problem with running ovs with IVSHMEM.

I've followed the guide of INSTALL.DPDK.md of ovs-2.5.0 to use IVSHMEM.

Firstly, I started ovs-vswitchd using "./sbin/ovs-vswitchd --dpdk -c 0x1
-n 4 --proc-type=primary -- --pidfile --detach", and I added dpdk
ports(dpdk0,dpdk1) and dpdk ring(dpdkr0) to ovs.

Then, I started ./openvswitch-2.5.0/tests/test-dpdkr using "./test-dpdkr
-c 1 -n 4 --proc-type=secondary -- -n 0", but the EAL initialization of
this program was stucked after printing "EAL: Detected 16 lcore(s)" to stdout.

Does anybody has successful experience with running ovs with IVSHMEM?
Please share with me. Many thanks!!!
