Currently, the bonding driver has not implemented the callback of rte_eth_tx_prepare function. Therefore, the TX prepare function of the slave devices will never be invoked. When hardware offloading such as CKSUM and TSO are enabled for some drivers, tx_prepare needs to be used to adjust packets (for example, set correct pseudo packet headers). Otherwise, related offloading fails and even packets are sent incorrectly. Due to this limitation, the bonded device cannot use these HW offloading in the Tx direction. Because packet sending algorithms are numerous and complex in bond PMD, it is hard to design the callback for rte_eth_tx_prepare. In this patch, the tx_prepare callback of bonding PMD is not implemented. Instead, rte_eth_tx_prepare has been called in tx_burst callback. And a global variable is introduced to control whether the bonded device need call the rte_eth_tx_prepare. If upper-layer users need to use some TX offloading that depend on tx_prepare , they should enable the preparation function. In this way, the bonded device will call the rte_eth_tx_prepare for the fast path packets in the tx_burst callback.
