Hi,
I set pmd-cpu-mask on a server running its processors in
cluster-on-die mode. This means, that the actual cpu topology is shown
to the os as shown below.
The problem I have is that although OVS is allowed to use all available CPUs:
$ ovs-vsctl --no-wait get Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask
"0x1787586c4fa8a01c71bc"
(=python hex(int('111111111111111111111111')))
OVS only uses the CPUs that are located in the first NUMA Node where
the OS is running:
$ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-stats-show | grep ^pmd
pmd thread numa_id 0 core_id 2:
pmd thread numa_id 0 core_id 12:
pmd thread numa_id 0 core_id 13:
pmd thread numa_id 0 core_id 14:
I restarted OVS multiple times, I tried to pin queues to specific cores:
ovs-vsctl set interface dpdk0 other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity="0:2,1:12"
ovs-vsctl set interface dpdk1 other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity="0:13,1:14"
ovs-vsctl set interface vif3 other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity="0:3,1:3"
ovs-vsctl set interface vif4 other_config:pmd-rxq-affinity="0:4,1:4"
but with the same result, cores in other numa nodes are not used:
/usr/local/var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log

2016-09-18T15:25:04.327Z|00084|dpif_netdev|WARN|There's no available
pmd thread on numa node 0
The log output seems to indicate that only numa node 0 is used for
some reason? Can anyone confirm this?
Best regards,
Jeremias
