Issue

ovs-ofctl dump-ports shows question marks (?) in OVS DPDK environments in Red Hat OpenStack Platform.
What is the reason for ? across some of the statistics in the output of ovs-ofctl dump-ports.

For example:

[root@overcloud-compute-0 openvswitch]# ovs-ofctl dump-ports br-int
OFPST_PORT reply (xid=0x2): 6 ports
  port  6: rx pkts=105, bytes=8828, drop=0, errs=0, frame=?, over=?, crc=?
