Subject: system-dpdk : testpmd not forwarding packets; 4th and 5th test cases failing
Hi all,
When I run the 4th and 5th testcases of the system-dpdk testsuite (system-dpdk.at : ping vhost-user/ vhost-user-client port ) , I can see that the ping is not going through. The test tries to ping two namespaces via a veth and dpdkvhostuser/vhostuserclient port, using testpmd as a forwarding agent. Upon further debugging, I can see that testpmd is dropping the packets from within .
The command used to start testpmd is -
tail -f /dev/null | testpmd --socket-mem="$(cat NUMA_NODE)" --no-pci\
--vdev="net_virtio_user,path=$OVS_RUNDIR/dpdkvhostuser0" \
--vdev="net_tap0,iface=tap0" --file-prefix page0 \
--single-file-segments -- -a >$OVS_RUNDIR/testpmd-dpdkvhostuser0.log 2>&1 &
Here are the testpmd logs in interactive mode -
testpmd> show port stats 1
######################## NIC statistics for port 1 ########################
RX-packets: 8 RX-missed: 0 RX-bytes: 648
RX-errors: 0

It seems like testpmd is receiving the packets from tap0 ( port 1 ) but not forwarding them to dpdkvhostuser0 ( port 0 ) . We have seen similar behavior with DPDK 19.11 as well. Has anyone run into this problem before? Any help would be appreciated :)
Thanks,
Parvathy
