Bug 1486221

​
Description of problem:
Larger UDP MTU is not working in ovs_user_bridge

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RedHat OpenStack 10 Director DPDK environment

How reproducible:
In Customer production OSP10 environment Compute node configured with 4 bond interface on each compute (1 - Linux Bridge used for Internal OpenStack Network and remaining 3 are ovs_user_bridge( i.e. dpdk)).
In OpenStack neutron configured a network on one of this ovs_user_bridge ( i.e. br-sig ) and pumping the UDP traffic from VM.
The customer noticed the UDP packet (5000+ bytes) is getting dropped in the compute(compute-07) with packet fragmentation ovs_user_bridge which using x710 Intel uplink port.


Steps to Reproduce:

Since there is previous BZ(1475576) opened for the same customer. So we are suspecting the issue is related DPDK library of X710 card (i40e) module.
Please help us to understand whether the all compatible library is updated in current DPDK-16.11 which has shipped in RHOSP10. It seems all library has not included yet.
In the comments of previous BZ(1475576), it seems MTU issue has resolved in openvswitch2.6+DPDK-16.11. Please let me know whether any additional information is still required.

    # cd /cases/01919306


Expected results:
Expecting 0 UDP packet drop irrespective of MTU size > 1400.

Additional info:
As work around, Customer tried by setting the MTU as 7K ( Just random Setup ) for dpdk and vhost port. The customer doesn't see any UDP packet drop even the 9K packet size. But we need to understand whether
