Hi,
I'm on a business trip and alone with my bugs on the Weekend atm :-)
It is good to have that simplified reproduction - thanks.

Could you also check if it would be sufficient to have just ONE device in Host and Guest instead of two, that would make it even easier. Once we have done a few steps of simplification you can go to the List and ask.

So far it really appears to me to be very similar to the issue we had a few we faced a few weeks ago where we did have the device in use by dpdk AND the Kernel. Is anything like that happening again on any layer?

Also finally, your stacktrace could be enhanced by installing the debug packets.
You should be able to get openvswitch-switch-dbgsym, openvswitch-switch-dpdk-dbgsym and libdpdk0-dpgsym installed after folllowing https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages
After that the trace will have actual function names and parameters - that will be much more helpful when going to the mailing lists.
