Hi Yi,
Thanks for your reply. I'm using this ovs command
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 virtio_user0 -- set Interface virtio_user0 type=dpdk \
options:n_rxq=1 options:n_txq=1 \
options:dpdk-devargs=net_virtio_user0,iface=tap0,path=/dev/vhost-net,queues=1
I hit an error showing
00051|netdev_dpdk|INFO|Device
'net_virtio_user0,iface=tap0,path=/dev/vhost-net, queues=1' attached
to DPDK
|00058|netdev_dpdk|DBG|Port virtio_user0: Requesting a mempool of

PMD_DRV_LOG(ERR,

rxmode->mq_mode);
// return -EINVAL;
}
Based on DPDK master
commit 2e088e6f94b773233c06440763c1be43d0d705b3
Skipping it seems to work, but I don't understand how to set virtio_user
to disable mq_mode in virtio_dev. For virtio user, there are these parameters:
RTE_PMD_REGISTER_PARAM_STRING(net_virtio_user,
"path=<path> "
"mac=<mac addr> "
"cq=<int> "
"queue_size=<int> "
"queues=<int> "
"iface=<string> "
"server=<0|1> "
"mrg_rxbuf=<0|1> "
"in_order=<0|1> "
"packed_vq=<0|1>");
Thanks
William
