[ovs-discuss] [ovs-dpdk] how to link between guest vNIC and dpdkvhost socket

[Xu, Rongjie (NSB - CN/Hangzhou)]

Hi,

I have one OpenStack environment with OVS-DPDK (manually installed). I success to launch two VMs on two separate compute node with vhostuser interface type. But I cannot ping from one to another. I found there are even no packets in the local 'br-int' bridge (where dpdkvhostuser interface is attached). My guess is the link between guest vNIC and dpdkvhost socket at host side is somehow broken, but I do not know how to proceed. Anyone any suggestions?

Compute0:
    Bridge br-int
        Controller "tcp:127.0.0.1:6633"
            is_connected: true
        fail_mode: secure
        Port "vhu2aae3928-3c"
            tag: 1
            Interface "vhu2aae3928-3c"
                type: dpdkvhostuser
root at compute0:~# file /var/run/openvswitch/vhu2aae3928-3c
/var/run/openvswitch/vhu2aae3928-3c: socket

Compute1:
    Bridge br-int
        Controller "tcp:127.0.0.1:6633"
            is_connected: true
        fail_mode: secure
        Port "vhuca25b420-6d"
            tag: 1
            Interface "vhuca25b420-6d"
               type: dpdkvhostuser
root at compute1:~# file /var/run/openvswitch/vhuca25b420-6d
/var/run/openvswitch/vhuca25b420-6d: socket


When I ping, I even does not find ARP packets in the br-int flow tables.
