Hi Yuanhan,
We are using virt-manager to start the VMs. We are attaching the image
which shows the vNIC setup for the VMs.
We have written our own dpdk application to send and receive UDP
packets. The command we are using is
*./build/app/dpdkapi -c 1 -- -p 1* where dpdkapi is our application.
Inside the application we are sending and receiving packets from vNIC
using rte_eth_tx_burst() and rte_eth_rx_burst().
At the sender side after 127 packets the application stops and we
observe a seg fault in dmesg. Using the print statements we observed
that it faults in rte_eth_tx_burst(). All the 127 were received at the
receiving VM.
Thanks,
Mitali

Hi All,
We have 2 VM running on qemu-kvm hypervisor. We have provided vNIC to the
VMs using macvtap device and virtio as the device model in bridge mode. We
are running DPDK applications (udp client and server) on the VMs. We observe
that the inter-VM communication is not happening using drivers i.e igb_uio
and uio_pci_generic. We were able to communicate between the VMs properly
using SRIOV. But we were not getting performance as expected so we switched
to virtio. But using virtio the DPDK communication hangs after sending 128
packets. We also observe a seg fault in the dmesg of the VM.
Please provide us some guideline to do the inter-VM communication using
virtio. Are we correct if we are using rte_eth_tx/rx_burst to send and
receive packets from the vNIC.
Would you provide more info, say how do you start the vm, and how do you
run the dpdk apps? Providing all the commands that could reproduce your
issue will be better.
