I don't have a full list, here is what I have in mind. For non mellanox devices, you'll have to rely on vfio-pci bound devices and setup access to those fds. https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/rhel/usr_lib_udev_rules.d_91-vfio.rules For mellanox devices and some parts of dpdk, you need (quite) some capabilities: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/daemon-unix.c#L812 There are also hugepages accesses to consider: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/rhel/usr_lib_systemd_system_ovs-vswitchd.service.in#L20 There are selinux considerations too. -- David Marchand
