Public bug reported: Hi, this was reported by an early tester of OVS 2.6 / DPDK 16.07 packages in yakkety.
TL;DR - the old --vhost-owner --vhost-perm seem no more to be passed to the DPDK commandline - OVS complains about ovs-vswitchd: unrecognized option '--vhost-owner' Example: ovs-vswitchd \ --vhost-owner libvirt-qemu:kvm \ --vhost-perm 0664 \ -- unix:$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 ovs-vswitchd: unrecognized option '--vhost-owner' I expect this to be either of these two: - actually those should be after a --dpdk switch to get to the DPDK EAL commandline. Just how we describe it at https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/serverguide/DPDK.html#dpdk-openvswitch OR - An upstream change on OVS 2.6 now interferes and breaks the passing of these options. A lot was changed to push DPDK config to the ovsdb so this can be possible. See http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/INSTALL.DPDK- ADVANCED.md.html for most of the new other_config values. I expect to be the second more than the first case due to DPDK configuration being completely changed into an ovsdb based operation. Search for dpdk here http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovs- vswitchd.conf.db.5.html. But since neither DPDK nor OVS took the ownership control patches (https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg69706.html) it has to be a delta that we add once we have final OVS 2.6. ** Affects: dpdk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Affects: openvswitch (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: dpdk (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - --vhost-owner --vhost-perm no more transferred to DPDK EAL commandlin + --vhost-owner --vhost-perm no more transferred to DPDK EAL commandline -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1625542 Title: --vhost-owner --vhost-perm no more transferred to DPDK EAL commandline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpdk/+bug/1625542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
