The call to the TUNSETIFF ioctl in tap_create_if() is returning an error code. The message "Argument list too long" corresponds to the error number E2BIG, which is being set by the kernel's tun driver. AFAICT the tun driver only returns that error here - https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/a175eca0f3d747599f1fdfac04cc9195b71ec996/drivers/net/tun.c#L771. The condition that causes it is 'tun->numqueues + tun->numdisabled == MAX_TAP_QUEUES'. So too many queues are being allocated on the tap. That's from the current upstream linux kernel source code. It's possible that some older version returned that error code for some other reason. What version of kernel are you running when this error happens? The current value of MAX_TAP_QUEUES is 256. On older versions of the kernel it was 8. Your screenshot showed that DPDK initialization detected 20 lcores. How many worker threads does VPP have configured? I don't ever run VPP in a docker container, so I don't know why this would happen intermittently. Could your container be getting migrated to a different host system when it restarts? Or could it be getting started with a different number of CPU cores allocated or worker threads configured in VPP's startup.conf? -Matt > > On Wed, Jun 29, 2022, 18:17 Dave Barach <v...@barachs.net> wrote: > >> You might try adding additional debugs to print the arg list length and >> args. >> >> Comparing the success and failure cases should give at least a hint. >> >> HTH...
