Hi,
I have compiled and built ovs-dpdk using DPDK v17.08 and OVS v2.8.0. The
NIC that I am using is Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro, which is a dual port 10G
NIC. The problem with this NIC is that it provides only one PCI address for
both the 10G ports.
So when I am trying to add the two DPDK ports to my br0 bridge
# ovs-vsctl --no-wait add-port br0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk
options:dpdk-devargs=0002:01:00.0
# ovs-vsctl --no-wait add-port br0 dpdk1 -- set Interface dpdk1 type=dpdk
options:dpdk-devargs=0002:01:00.0
The port dpdk1 is added successfully and able to transfer data, but adding
dpdk0 to br0 fails:

With OVS v2.6.1 I never had this problem as dpdk-devargs was not mandatory
and just specifying port name was enough to add that port to bridge.
Is there a way to add port both ports to bridge ?
Thanks,
Devendra
