This is the same as #1672849 which was closed as a duplicate of #1711739. Without the changes from this bz, dpdk will require access to physical addresses for the drivers which were not using a workaround in dpdk pci/mem subsystems (highjacking of a poorly documented IOVA_AS_VA flag). The mlx drivers were part of the drivers affected until the backports from #1711739 fixed the situation for our downstream ovs-2.11. Same issue for mlx(CX-5 & CX-3) under Rhel-7.7.

Definitely, a regression here --- from 2.11 to 2.12. Jean, I created this scratch build with the missing backports. Can you have a try? http://brew-task-repos.usersys.redhat.com/repos/scratch/dmarchan/openvswitch2.12/2.12.0/4.el7fdn/x86_64/ (In reply to David Marchand from comment #4) > Jean, > > I created this scratch build with the missing backports. > Can you have a try? > > http://brew-task-repos.usersys.redhat.com/repos/scratch/dmarchan/ > openvswitch2.12/2.12.0/4.el7fdn/x86_64/ Sure Hi David, The scratch build passed: https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/3877907 Thanks!
