DPDK: Application causing ixgbe transmit hang

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • Openstack platform shows the VM "running" state on the compute node. Libvirt logs did not show any symptom of the instance rebooting at hypervisor level.
  • On the Hypervisor after the application hangs we see:
kernel: ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0 enpX: VF Reset msg received from vf 15  

and:
