[ovs-dev] [PATCH v3 3/4] system-dpdk: Test with mlx5 devices.

David Marchand david.marchand at redhat.com
Tue Nov 30 15:00:12 UTC 2021


The DPDK unit test only runs if vfio or igb_uio kernel module is loaded:
on systems with only mlx5, this test is always skipped.

Besides, the test tries to grab the first device listed by dpdk-devbind.py,
regardless of the PCI device status regarding kmod binding.

Remove dependency on this DPDK script and use a minimal script that
reads PCI sysfs.

This script is not perfect, as one can imagine PCI devices bound to
vfio-pci for virtual machines.
Add a new environment variable DPDK_PCI_ADDR for testers to select the
PCI device of their liking.
For consistency and grep, the temporary file PCI_ADDR is renamed
to DPDK_PCI_ADDR.

Note: with mlx5 devices, there is now more OVS/DPDK warnings to waive.

 These tests support a `DPDK supported NIC`_. The tests operate on a wider set of
 environments, for instance, when a virtual port is used.
-They do require proper DPDK variables (``DPDK_DIR`` and ``DPDK_BUILD``).
 Moreover you need to have root privileges to load the required modules and to bind
 the NIC to the DPDK-compatible driver.
