Description of problem: when running os-net-config with the following configuration it silently fails to create br-dpdk0/1: - type: ovs_user_bridge name: br-dpdk0 mtu: 9000 use_dhcp: false ovs_extra: - set Interface dpdk2 options:n_rxq_desc=2048 - set Interface dpdk2 options:n_txq_desc=2048 members: - type: ovs_dpdk_port rx_queue: 1 name: dpdk2 mtu: 9000 members: - type: interface name: nic5 - type: ovs_user_bridge name: br-dpdk1 mtu: 9000 use_dhcp: false ovs_extra: - set Interface dpdk3 options:n_rxq_desc=2048 - set Interface dpdk3 options:n_txq_desc=2048 members: - type: ovs_dpdk_port rx_queue: 1 name: dpdk3 mtu: 9000 members: - type: interface name: nic6 [root@compute-0 ~]# os-net-config -c /etc/os-net-config/config.yaml -m /etc/os-net-config/mapping.yaml [root@compute-0 ~]# ip a | grep dpdk [root@compute-0 ~]# although is is matching documentation, only when changing to the following config it is creating the expected bridges with the extra configuration: - type: ovs_user_bridge name: br-dpdk0 mtu: 9000 use_dhcp: false members: - type: ovs_dpdk_port ovs_extra: - set Interface dpdk2 options:n_rxq_desc=2048 - set Interface dpdk2 options:n_txq_desc=2048 rx_queue: 1 name: dpdk2 mtu: 9000 members: - type: interface name: nic5 - type: ovs_user_bridge name: br-dpdk1 mtu: 9000 use_dhcp: false members: - type: ovs_dpdk_port ovs_extra: - set Interface dpdk3 options:n_rxq_desc=2048 - set Interface dpdk3 options:n_txq_desc=2048 rx_queue: 1 name: dpdk3 mtu: 9000 members: - type: interface name: nic6 [root@compute-0 ~]# os-net-config -c /etc/os-net-config/config.yaml -m /etc/os-net-config/mapping.yaml [root@compute-0 ~]# ip a | grep dpdk 61: br-dpdk0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 62: br-dpdk1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,PROMISC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 [root@compute-0 ~]# ovs-vsctl --columns=options list interface dpdk2 options : {dpdk-devargs="0000:82:00.2", n_rxq="1", n_rxq_desc="2048", n_txq_desc="2048"} [root@compute-0 ~]# ovs-vsctl --columns=options list interface dpdk3 options : {dpdk-devargs="0000:82:00.3", n_rxq="1", n_rxq_desc="2048", n_txq_desc="2048"} Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@compute-0 ~]# os-net-config --version 14.2.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. use the first configuration mentioned to run os-net-config 2. check if bridges are created 3. Actual results: os-net-config silently fails to create the expected bridges Expected results: bridges either created of failure doesn't go silently Additional info: created the following lunchpad bug for the upstream docs https://bugs.launchpad.net/os-net-config/+bug/2067263
