RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Timothy Redaelli 2017-12-06 09:45:13 UTC
Comment 7 Jean-Tsung Hsiao 2017-12-21 18:15:30 UTC 
The package has been tested and passed with the following tests:

# PvP 64 bytes zero loss testing between testpmd and Xena as traffic generator --- vhostuser is installed with DPDK-17.11-4.

# P2P 64 bytes zero loss testing between testpmd/host and Trex --- the host is loaded with DPDK-17.11-4.

# Netperf testing between name spaces on the test driver using testpmd/SUT as loopback.

Comment 11 Christian Trautman 2018-03-01 01:38:47 UTC 
Tested http://download-node-02.eng.bos.redhat.com/brewroot/packages/dpdk/17.11/7.el7/x86_64/dpdk-17.11-7.el7.x86_64.rpm

Ran sr-iov testing and standard pvp testing with ovs-dpdk 2.9 from FDP.

Ran testing against 16.11-2 versus 17.11 and found no degradation with Intel x520 cards for 64 or 1500 bytes performance.
Comment 13 Jean-Tsung Hsiao 2018-03-01 12:06:05 UTC 
The package has been tested and passed with the following tests:

1. PvP 64 bytes zero loss testing between testpmd and Xena over ixgbe using 2Q/4PMD --- 9.86 Mpps.

2. PvP 64 bytes zero loss testing between testpmd and Trex over 40Gb i40e(XL710) using 2Q/4PMD --- 5.90 Mpps.

Related packages:

Host is using OVS 2.9.0-1 fdP, and guest is using DPDK 17.11-7.

Both host and guest are running under kernel-851.

For 1Q/2PMD the Mpps rate is 5.02

Also, ran P2P 64 bytes zero loss between testpmd/host and Trex over 40Gb XL710 --- 36.10 Mpps.

Update:

From Virt QE side, all testings with dpdk has finished and get PASS results.

Versions:
kernel-3.10.0-855.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-21.el7.x86_64
tuned-2.9.0-1.el7.noarch
libvirt-3.9.0-13.el7.x86_64
dpdk-17.11-7.el7.x86_64
microcode-20180108.tgz

Network cards: 10-Gigabit X540-AT2

Intel meltdonw&spectre fixes were applied to both the host&guest.
microcode: revision 0x3b, date = 2017-11-17

Values of related options:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/pti_enabled
1
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/ibpb_enabled
1
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/ibrs_enabled
0
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/retp_enabled

Testing Scenarios:
(1) PVP performance testing -- PASS
(Note: dpdk's testpmd acts as the role of OpenvSwitch in host)

The throughput results looks good as expected:
1_Queue/0_Loss/64Byte_packet throughput: 9.49Mpps
1_Queue/0.002%_Loss/64Byte_packet throughput: 17.06Mpps

(2) PVP live migration testing -- PASS

All 10 ping-pong migration works well as expected:

(3) Guest with device assignment -- PASS

The throughput results looks good as expected:
1_Queue/0_Loss/64Byte_packet throughput: 20.64Mpps

(4) Guest with ovs+dpdk+vhost-user -- PASS

Other versions:
openvswitch-2.9.0-3.el7fdp.x86_64
