[ovs-discuss] ovs-vswitchd bridge datapath_type netdev doesn't work with ovs-ofctl (br0 is not a bridge or a socket)

I'm trying to configure a flow between a DPDK port and a VM virtio port.

Following instructions here:
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/INSTALL.DPDK 

 

I created br0 bridge, set dapapath_type to "netdev", added dpdk0 and dpdk1
ports and created a virsh host with the following configuration: 

 

    <interface type='bridge'>

      <mac address='52:54:00:95:af:b8'/>

      <source bridge='br0'/>

      <virtualport type='openvswitch'>

        <parameters interfaceid='d45aa931-1d3e-4c32-be8c-5091f1cb6134'/>

      </virtualport>

      <model type='rtl8139'/>

      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05'
function='0x0'/>

    </interface>

 

As expected, this creates bridge br0 and ports vnet1, dpdk0 and dpdk1. 

But when trying to configure a flow between vnet and dpdk ports ovs-ofctl
fails with: 

    "br0 is not a bridge or a socket"

 

A quick investigation reveals the problem appears when br0 bridge
datapath_type is changed to "netdev". Somehow
/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/br0.mgmt socket is removed and ovs-ofctl
can't find the bridge. ovs-vsctl is probably using another mechanism to list
bridge information because it works when ovs-ofctl doesn't.

 

Simplified steps to reproduce and corresponding output of ovs-vswitchd
(commands executed as root).

Is this a configuration issue?
