Hi List, We have now testing openvswitch 2.6.0 on kernel 3.10.45, however we noticed there is performance drop than openvswitch 2.5.0 on the same kernel, which iperf can only have a 2G bandwidth for a pair of 10G links.
After check the code, it seems on openvswitch 2.5.0, HAVE_METADATA_DST macro is used to control whether use backported vxlan tunnels, in 3.10.45 kernel which will result HAVE_METADATA_DST not defined, thus VXLAN receive offload of 3.10.45 kernel is used. However, on openvswitch 2.6.0, HAVE_METADATA_DST is renamed to HAVE_USE_UPSTREAM_TUNNEL, and in 3.10.45 kernel this macro is defined, while HAVE_UDP_OFFLOADS/HAVE_UDP_TUNNEL_SOCK_CFG_GRO_RECEIVE are both not defined, which make there is not VXLAN receive offload callback registered. Is this a desired behavior? Or we must try to update our kernel to a new supported one like 3.18.X. I have not find a commit that defined this yet.
