Unable to establish TCP sessions between guests using virtio-net on Linux 3.12 and above

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Kernel versions tested: 3.13, 3.14, 3.15
Related debian bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738863

I'm not sure if this is a problem specific to openvswitch or KVM. I have a network setup where I have one openvswitch bridge setup, with various ports with VLAN tags and a firewall running as a guest. After upgrading to Linux 3.13, all guests with virtio interfaces with TSO enabled (the default) are unable to establish TCP connections via the guest firewall. ICMP ping works fine. If I disable TSO on the vnet interfaces (as outlined in the bug report above) guests are then able to communicate with each other.

Is there a patch for this issue that hasn't made it into mainline that I should test out? Is this an issue specific to KVM, or is it an openvswitch issue?

Than kyou,

-Peter
