# How to test Vhost-user net with OpenVSwitch/DPDK
|

|

The purpose of this document is to illustrate how to test vhost-user-net in cloud-hypervisor with OVS/DPDK as the backend.

The purpose of this document is to illustrate how to test vhost-user-net
|
||||
in cloud-hypervisor with OVS/DPDK as the backend. This document was
|
||||
tested with Open vSwitch v2.13.1, DPDK v19.11.3, and Cloud Hypervisor
|
||||
v15.0 on Ubuntu 20.04.1 (host kernel v5.4.0).
|
||||
|
||||
## Framework
|
||||
|
||||
It's a simple test to validate the communication between two virtual machine, connecting them to vhost-user ports respectively provided by `OVS/DPDK`.

|
||||
- Install DPDK
|
||||
- Install OVS
|
||||
|

Here are some good references for detailing them.

Here is a good reference for setting up OVS with DPDK from scratch:
|
||||
https://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/intro/install/dpdk/.
|
||||
|
||||
On Ubuntu systems (18.04 or newer), the OpenVswitch-DPDK package can be
|
||||
easily installed with:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
sudo apt-get install openvswitch-switch-dpdk
|
||||
sudo update-alternatives --set ovs-vswitchd /usr/lib/openvswitch-switch-dpdk/ovs-vswitchd-dpdk
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Test
|
||||
The test runs with multiple queue (MQ) support enabled, using 2 pairs of TX/RX queues defined for both OVS and the virtual machine. Here are the details on how the test can be run.

The test runs with multiple queue (MQ) support enabled, using 2 pairs of
|

TX/RX queues defined for both OVS and the virtual machine. Here are the
|
||||
detailed instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
_Setup OVS_
|
||||
|
||||
`ovs_test.sh` is created to setup and start OVS. OVS will provide the `dpdkvhostuser` backend running in server mode.
|
||||
Here is an example how to configure a basic OpenVswitch using DPDK:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mkdir -p /var/run/openvswitch
|
||||
# load the ovs kernel module
|
||||
modprobe openvswitch
|
||||
killall ovsdb-server ovs-vswitchd
|
||||
rm -f /var/run/openvswitch/vhost-user*
|
||||
rm -f /etc/openvswitch/conf.db
|
||||
export DB_SOCK=/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
|
||||
ovsdb-tool create /etc/openvswitch/conf.db /usr/share/openvswitch/vswitch.ovsschema
|
||||
ovsdb-server --remote=punix:$DB_SOCK --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,Open_vSwitch,manager_options --pidfile --detach
|
||||
ovs-vsctl --no-wait init
|
||||
ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-lcore-mask=0xf
|
||||
ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-socket-mem=1024
|
||||
ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true
|
||||

|
||||
ovs-vswitchd unix:$DB_SOCK --pidfile --detach --log-file=/var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log
|
||||
sudo service openvswitch-switch start
|
||||
ovs-vsctl init
|
||||
ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init=true
|
||||
# run on core 0-3 only
|
||||
ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-lcore-mask=0xf
|
||||
# allocate 2G huge pages (to NUMA 0 only)
|
||||
ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-socket-mem=1024
|
||||
# run PMD (Pull Mode Driver) threads on core 0-3 only
|
||||
ovs-vsctl set Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0xf
|
||||
sudo service openvswitch-switch restart
|
||||
# double check the configurations
|
||||
ovs-vsctl list Open_vSwitch

Here is an example how to create a bridge and add two DPDK ports to it
|
||||
(for later use via Cloud Hypervisor):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# create a bridge
|
||||
ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr0 -- set bridge ovsbr0 datapath_type=netdev
|
||||
# create two DPDK ports and add them to the bridge
|
||||
ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr0 vhost-user1 -- set Interface vhost-user1 type=dpdkvhostuser
|
||||
ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr0 vhost-user2 -- set Interface vhost-user2 type=dpdkvhostuser
|
||||
ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr0 vhost-user2 -- set Interface vhost-user2
|
||||
type=dpdkvhostuser
|
||||
# set the number of rx queues
|
||||
ovs-vsctl set Interface vhost-user1 options:n_rxq=2
|
||||
ovs-vsctl set Interface vhost-user2 options:n_rxq=2
