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.

journalctl -xe after enabling DPDK

Description of problem:
After enabling DPDK in openvswitch rpm, ovs fails to finish executing ovs-vsctl commands and the openvswitch.service fails to restart/start. Commands to ovs-vsctl will hang needing CTRL+C to stop, however ovsdb is updated.

   To enable DPDK:

ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true

journalctl -xe logs attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openvswitch-2.9.0-3.el7fdp.ppc64le.rpm

How reproducible:
Only when DPDK is enabled in openvswitch rpm. Otherwise openvswitch works fine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install openvswitch-2.9.0-3.el7fdp.ppc64le.rpm
2. systemctl start openvswitch
3. ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true
4. ovs-vsctl add-br br0
Command hangs

4. systemctl restart openvswitch

Actual results:
# ovs-vsctl add-br br0
(after a long time...)
^C2018-03-26T20:42:30Z|00002|fatal_signal|WARN|terminating with signal 2 (Interrupt)

# ovs-vsctl show
    Bridge "br0"
        Port "br0"
            Interface "br0"
                type: internal
    ovs_version: "2.9.0"

Expected results:
# ovs-vsctl add-br br0
# ovs-vsctl show

Additional info:

This error is due to the file permission's of /proc/self/auxv. In DPDK, commit 1e0a17ac4c816fc41f6cf8c1fcd56149d8927263 introduces a different way to verify file permissions, changing the assertion from != 0 to != 1. 

Possible solution: 

Revert patch 1e0a17ac4c816fc41f6cf8c1fcd56149d8927263 from DPDK 17.11

New patch posted could also be a possible solution:

This is a bug in DPDK which is part of the openvswitch rpm for ppc64le.

Comment 10 Christian Trautman 2018-06-07 15:40:46 UTC
Reproduced with openvswitch-2.9.0-3.el7fdp.ppc64le.rpm

2. systemctl start openvswitch
3. ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true
4. ovs-vsctl add-br br0
Command hangs as expected.

Verified with openvswitch-2.9.0-45.el7fdp.ppc64le. No hangs seen.

Changing to verified.
