Hello, I trying to create vm2vm benchmark on my ubuntu (14.04) based
platform.
I had compiled DPDK to run a vhost example app with followed flags
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST=y
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_USER=y
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_DEBUG=n
then I run vhost app based on documentation:
./build/app/vhost-switch -c f -n 4 --huge-dir /mnt/huge -- -p 0x1
--dev-basename usvhost
then I trying to start kvm VM
kvm -nographic -boot c -machine pc-i440fx-1.4,accel=kvm -name vm1 -cpu host
-smp 2 -mem-path /mnt/huge -mem-prealloc \
-hda /home/ubuntu/qemu/debian_squeeze2_amd64.qcow2 -m 4096 \
-chardev socket,id=char1,path=/home/ubuntu/dpdk/examples/vhost/usvhost \
-netdev type=vhost-user,id=hostnet1,chardev=char1 \
-device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,csum=off,gso=off,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off
\
-chardev socket,id=char2,path=/home/ubuntu/dpdk/examples/vhost/usvhost \
-netdev type=vhost-user,id=hostnet2,chardev=char2 \
-device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet2,id=net2,csum=off,gso=off,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off
but this give me an error:
qemu-system-x86_64: -netdev type=vhost-user,id=hostnet1,chardev=char1:
chardev "char1" went up
qemu-system-x86_64: unable to map backing store for hugepages: Cannot
allocate memory
On vhost app in logs I can see:
VHOST_DATA: Procesing on Core 1 started
VHOST_DATA: Procesing on Core 2 started
VHOST_DATA: Procesing on Core 3 started
VHOST_CONFIG: socket created, fd:25
VHOST_CONFIG: bind to usvhost
VHOST_CONFIG: new virtio connection is 26
VHOST_CONFIG: new device, handle is 0
VHOST_CONFIG: read message VHOST_USER_SET_OWNER
VHOST_CONFIG: read message VHOST_USER_GET_FEATURES
VHOST_CONFIG: read message VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_CALL
VHOST_CONFIG: vring call idx:0 file:27
VHOST_CONFIG: read message VHOST_USER_SET_VRING_CALL
VHOST_CONFIG: vring call idx:1 file:28
VHOST_CONFIG: recvmsg failed
VHOST_CONFIG: vhost peer closed
So that looks at huge page memory problem.
On my machine I had 2048k huge pages, and I can allocate 2479.
before I run vhost "cat /proc/meminfo | grep Huge" show
AnonHugePages: 4096 kB
HugePages_Total: 2479
HugePages_Free: 2479
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
and while running vhost:
AnonHugePages: 4096 kB
HugePages_Total: 2479
HugePages_Free: 0
HugePages_Rsvd: 0
HugePages_Surp: 0
Hugepagesize: 2048 kB
So that looks that I didn't have free hugepages for my VM.
But this looks as independently if I reserve 1k 2k or 2.5k memory always
example/vhost got whole memory.
I reserve hugepages as in documentation:
echo 2048 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
mkdir /mnt/huge
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
What can be correct/check to run correctly VM with this example?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Maciej
