Hi, to avoid missing another work already been done (and google didn't find me anything). Is there already work going on to get --user and dpdk working together? (see http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2015-September/060382.html)
Background: While setting up a vhost_user based ovs-dpdk setup I'm struggling to get access to the vhost user sockets from qemu/kvm due to permission issues. Various mailing list posts like ( http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/discuss/2015-August/018553.html) indicate to change the user running OVS, since the sockets are defaulting to process user/group. To run OVS as different user --user seems to be the preferred way. But as linked above, --user has other issues with DPDK and therefore is mutually exclusive for now. I was able to fix the permission issue with some chown/chmod, but I wonder if there would be cleaner way to do so at some point. Maybe eventually the approach is totally different anyway (like only specifying :group for the sockets to be created). But I wondered if that old mail thread is still worked on by somebody atm.
