Following scenario leads to APP PANIC: 1. mempool_1 = rte_mempool_create() 2. rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(bond0, ..., mempool_1); 3. rte_eth_dev_start(bond0); 4. mempool_2 = rte_mempool_create(); 5. rte_eth_dev_stop(bond0); 6. rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(bond0, ..., mempool_2); 7. rte_eth_dev_start(bond0); * RX queues still use 'mempool_1' because reconfiguration doesn't affect them. * 8. rte_mempool_free(mempool_1); 9. On any rx operation we'll get PANIC because of using freed 'mempool_1': PANIC in rte_mempool_get_ops(): assert "(ops_index >= 0) && (ops_index < RTE_MEMPOOL_MAX_OPS_IDX)" failed You may just start OVS 2.6 with DPDK bonding device and attempt to change MTU via 'mtu_request'. Bug is easily reproducible.
