As David stated below, OVS 2.16 is not expected to compile with DPDK 21.11. Each OVS release is expected to compile against a particular DPDK Release. These can be found in the following link https://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/faq/releases/ Under the section: Q: What DPDK version does each Open vSwitch release work with? If you wish to use DPDK 21.11 then I suggest you use OVS master or else the OVS 2.17 branch (due for official release in February). If you have a hard requirement to use OVS 2.16 then the officially validated and supported DPDK release for that branch is 20.11.1. Hope this helps.
