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.

Fixed In Version: NetworkManager-1.36.0-0.4.el8
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.NetworkManager now supports setting the number of receiving queues (`rx_queue`) on OVS-DPDK interfaces With this enhancement, you can use NetworkManager to configure the `n_rxq` setting of Open vSwitch (OVS) Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) interfaces. Use the `ovs-dpdk.n-rxq` attribute in NetworkManager to set the number of receiving queues on OVS-DPDK interfaces. For example, to configure 2 receiving queues in OVS interface named `ovs-iface0`, enter: ---- # nmcli connection modify ovs-iface0 ovs-dpdk.nrxq 2 ----

Description Karthik Sundaravel 2021-09-06 12:02:42 UTC
rx_queue support for OVS-DPDK is not available in NM.
In ifcfg model, rx_queue could be configured via OVS_EXTRA flags and openstack uses this method to configure multiqueues.

Expected results:
NM shall provide a method for rx_queue configuration

Comment 2 Karthik Sundaravel 2021-09-09 10:15:06 UTC
Hi

Sample usage by openstack [1].

A sample ifcfg-dpdk-port

DEVICE=dpdk-link1-port
ONBOOT=yes
HOTPLUG=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
PEERDNS=no
DEVICETYPE=ovs
TYPE=OVSDPDKPort
OVS_BRIDGE=br-link1
RX_QUEUE=2
OVS_EXTRA="set Interface $DEVICE options:n_rxq=$RX_QUEUE options:dpdk-devargs=0000:18:00.2"

I don't think external-ids could be used for the same. We would need similar support in NM to support the above use case.
This feature is required for OSP17 which would use RHEl 9

The add_dpdk_port_n_rxq test is running in NMCI.
