[dpdk-dev] Questions about vm2vm vhost-user/virtio-net test

["Min Hu (Connor)" <humin29@huawei.com>]

Hi, Coquelin, Chenbo, all,
	I  want to seek help about vm2vm vhost-user/virtio-net test from
you.
	When I set up vm2vm vhost-user/virtio-net test, I cannot ping
vm2 in vm1. That is, ping failed between vm1 and vm2.

	Detailed description are as flows:
host configuration:
Linux localhost 5.14.0-rc4+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Sep 26 16:52:13 CST 2021 
aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

1, set up vhost on host
cd /home/humin/virtio_test
rm -rf ./vhost-net*

/usr/app/testpmd -l 2-4 -n 4 --no-pci --file-prefix=vhost --vdev 
'net_vhost0,iface=vhost-net0,queues=1' --vdev 
'net_vhost1,iface=vhost-net1,queues=1'  -- -i --nb-cores=2 --txd=1024 
--rxd=1024

testpmd> set fwd mac
testpmd> start

2, create vm1 and vm2
taskset -c 13 qemu-system-aarch64 \
-name us-vhost-vm1 \
-kernel /home/humin/virtio_test/Image \
-initrd /home/humin/virtio_test/rootfs.cpio.gz \

3, do test
in vm1:
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.2
arp -s 1.1.1.8 52:54:00:00:00:02

in vm2:
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.8
arp -s 1.1.1.2 52:54:00:00:00:01

Then in vm1:
ping 1.1.1.8

the result:
no icmp reply, ping failed. same for vm2.

4, Try to debug
using tcpdump to capture packets in vm2,  we can get only the ICMP
request packet which is from vm1, but no ICMP reply.
It looks like ping task does not send ICMP reply, but it is just guess
for it.

BTW, I also use iperf test:
UDP packet test:
vm1:
iperf -s  -i 1

vm2:
iperf -c 1.1.1.2 -u -i 1 -t 60

Then vm1 can get the packet. Same result if vm1 is used as client.

TCP packet test:
vm1:
iperf -s  -i 1

vm2:
iperf -c 1.1.1.2 -i 1 -t 60

Then vm1 can NOT get the packet. Same result if vm1 is used as client.

5, reference
I refre to the website
https://doc.dpdk.org/dts/test_plans/vm2vm_virtio_net_perf_test_plan.html

In 199.7. Test Case 5:
scp test success.

But my scp test also failed, any one could help me?  thanks very much.
