Xenial is released, so we are back in SRU mode. Therefore I add the matching SRU Template for the upload of 2.2.0ubuntu8 which is in the unapproved queue atm.
[Impact] * using devices by DPDK and the kernel at once drives the system into hangs * the fix avoids using devices in DPDK that are still in use by the kernel * fix is a backport form upstream accepted patch [Test Case] * run dpdk in a guest on virtio-pci devices * afterwards do anything that touches the queues of the device like ethtool -L [Regression Potential] * Some existing setups might no more work if they set up DPDK on kernel owned devices. But that is intentional as they are only one step away from breaking their systems * The documentation in the server guide has been adapted to reflect the new needs (merge proposal waits for ack) * also the comments and examples in the config files have been adapted to reflect the new style * passed ADT tests on i368/amd64/amd64-lowmem and our full CI (https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-server/ubuntu/+source/dpdk-testing/+git/dpdk-testing) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1570195 Title: Net tools cause kernel soft lockup after DPDK touched VirtIO-pci devices Status in dpdk package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Guys, I'm facing an issue here with both "ethtool" and "ip", while trying to manage black-listed by DPDK PCI VirtIO devices. You'll need an Ubuntu Xenial KVM guest, with 4 VirtIO vNIC cards, to run those tests PCI device example from inside a Xenial guest: --- # lspci | grep Ethernet 00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device 00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device 00:06.0 Ethernet controller: Red Hat, Inc Virtio network device --- Where "ens3" is the first / default interface, attached to Libvirt's "default" network. The "ens4" is reserved for "ethtool / ip" tests (attached to another Libvirt's network without IPs or DHCP), "ens5" will be "dpdk0" and "ens6" "dpdk1"... --- *** How it works? 1- For example, try to enable multi-queue on DPDK's devices, boot your Xenial guest, and run: ethtool -L ens5 combined 4 ethtool -L ens6 combined 4 2- Install openvswitch-switch-dpdk configure DPDK and OVS and fire it up. https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/serverguide/DPDK.html service openvswitch-switch stop service dpdk stop OVS DPDK Options (/etc/default/openvswitch-switch): -- DPDK_OPTS='--dpdk -c 0x1 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --pci-blacklist 0000:00:03.0,0000:00:04.0' -- service dpdk start service openvswitch-switch start - Enable multi-queue on OVS+DPDK inside of the VM: ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:n-dpdk-rxqs=4 ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0xff00 * Multi-queue apparently works! ovs-vswitchd consumes more that 100% of CPU, meaning that it multi-queue is there... *** Where it fails? 1- Reboot the VM and try to run ethtool again (or go straight to 2 below): ethtool -L ens5 combined 4 2- Try to fire up ens4: ip link set dev ens4 up # FAIL! Both commands hangs, consuming 100% of guest's CPU... So, it looks like a Linux fault, because it is "allowing" the DPDK VirtIO App (a user land App), to interfere with kernel devices in a strange way...
