Hi,
I was trying to replicate a setup that I have working on physical devices
(ixgbe) under kvm since there is a virtio pmd driver.
TL;DR:
- under KVM with virtio-pci (working on baremetal with ixgbe cards)
- adding dpdk port to ovs fails with memzone <port0_tvq0> already exists
and causes a segfault
- I couldn't find a solution in similar mails that popped up here recently,
any help or pointer appreciated.
## Details ##
I thought I've read that others have it working I thought that would be a
great way to gain more debug control of the environment, but something
seems to be eluding me.
There were quite some similar mails on the List recently, but none seemed
to hit the same issue as I do. At least none of the tunings/workarounds
seemed to apply to me.
As versions I have Openvswitch 2.5, DPDK 2.2, Qemu 2.5, Kernel 4.4 - so a
fairly recent software stack.
The super-short repro summary is:
1. starting ovs-dpdk like
ovs-vswitchd --dpdk -c 0x1 -n 4 --pci-blacklist 0000:00:03.0 -m 2048 --
unix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock -vconsole:emer -vsyslog:err -vfile:info
--mlockall --no-chdir --log-file=/var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log
--pidfile=/var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.pid --detach --monitor
2. add a bridge and a ovs dpdk port
ovs-vsctl add-port ovsdpdkbr0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk
ovs-vsctl add-port ovsdpdkbr0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk
The log of the initialization after #1 looks good to me - I can see two of
my three virtio devices recognized and one blacklisted.
Memory allocation looks good, ... I'll attach the log at the end of the mail
## ISSUE ##
But when I add a port and refer to one of the dpdk ports it fails with the
following:
ovs-vsctl[14023]: ovs|00001|vsctl|INFO|Called as ovs-vsctl add-port
ovsdpdkbr0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk

## Experiments (failed) ##
I thought it could be related to all the multiqueue chances that recently
going in.
My usual setup has 4 vCPUs and 4 queues per virtio-net device.
I tried them with only 1 of 4 queues, also with only 1 queue defined and
only 1 CPU - but all fail the same way.
I have testpmd and l2fwd on the same devices working, so I hope they are
not totally set up badly.
I also tried hilarious things like reassigning to uio_pci_generic before,
but well its virtio_pmd eventually anyways - so it made no difference.

But they are (partially) applied upstream already and the issue doesn't
100% match the old discussions.

FYI - a user also reported that the same issue also affects non-virtual
environments when using the BNX2X_PMD

Hi Christian,
thanks for the report. I've managed to reproduce the problem and I
observed two separate issues:
1) short version: it appears to be a problem in DPDK 2.2 and it should be
fixed by 9a0615af7746("virtio: fix restart"), now on master.
long version:
for every DPDK device added to OVS, these calls are issued:
netdev_open()
...
rte_eth_dev_configure()
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()
rte_eth_dev_start()
before receiving packets, the datapath calls netdev_set_multiq, which
reinitializes the device
netdev_set_multiq()
...
rte_eth_dev_stop()
rte_eth_dev_configure()
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()
rte_eth_dev_start()
The problem is that the second rte_eth_dev_start() doesn't actually
initializes dev->data->rx_queues[0], because it (wrongly?) assumes that
it's already initialized. This causes the next call to rte_eth_ex_burst()
to crash.
It appears that simply backporting 9a0615af7746("virtio: fix restart")
fixes the issue.
2) When ovs-vswitchd is started with --monitor, there will be a parent
process (the monitor) that simply restarts the child if it crashes, while
the child does the actual ovs-vswitchd job.
It appears that the monitor feature is broken with DPDK, because the DPDK
library is wrongly initialized in the parent process. If the child
crashes, all the DPDK memzones are preserved, meaning that new allocations
will likely fail.
The fix for this is calling rte_eal_init() in the child process, after
parsing other ovs-vswitchd command line options. This is done (among other
things) in Aaron's series currently under review:
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-March/067422.html
I think we need a separate fix for branch-2.5.

Yeah debugging it I came to the double configuration as cause as well
yesterday.
Eventually I saw that virtqueue->vq_ring structs got reallocated but stayed
zeroed out by the second call.
I didn't realize there was a fix for it already - thanks so much for
pointing it out.
I'll give a backport a try and let you know if it worked.

Yeah I was on discussing and testing that series already as the series was
also related to a socket ownership/permission issue (back in time).
http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2015-December/063567.html
I think eventually we need separate fixes for both on the branch-2.5
