This bug was fixed in the package dpdk - 2.2.0-0ubuntu8
---------------
dpdk (2.2.0-0ubuntu8) xenial; urgency=medium
* d/p/ubuntu-backport-[36-37] fix virtio issues (LP: #1570195):
- don't let DPDK initialize virtio devices still in use by the kernel
- this avoids conflicts between kernel and dpdk usage of those devices
- an admin now has to unbind/bind devices as on physical hardware
- this is in the dpdk 16.04 release and delta can then be dropped
- d/dpdk-doc.README.Debian update for changes in virtio-pci handling
- d/dpdk.interfaces update for changes in virtio-pci handling
* d/p/ubuntu-backport-38... fix for memory leak (LP: #1570466):
- call vhost_destroy_device on removing vhost user ports to fix memory leak
- this likely is in the dpdk 16.07 release and delta can then be dropped
* d/p/ubuntu-fix-vhost-user-socket-permission.patch fox (LP: #1546565):
- when vhost_user sockets are created they are owner:group of the process
- the DPDK api to create those has no way to specify owner:group
- to fix that without breaking the API and potential workaround code in
consumers of the library like openvswitch 2.6 for example. This patch
adds an EAL commandline option to specify user:group created vhost_user
sockets should have.
