[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/vmxnet3: remove IP checksum from Tx/Rx offload capa

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/vmxnet3: remove IP checksum from Tx/Rx offload capa

[Maxime Leroy]

The vmxnet3_prep_pkts function set rte_errno to ENOTSUP for any packets
having PKT_TX_IP_CHECKSUM set in ol_flags. But the vmxnet3 has
DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM set in this tx offload capa.

This issue has been introduced with the new Rx offload
API. DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM and DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM has been
added to the tx/rx offloads capa, but the vmxnet3 driver doesn't support
it.

To fix the issue, DEV_TX/RX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM needs to be removed from
tx/rx offload capa.

Hi Maxime,

Thanks for the fix. Actually Yong and I had some discussion about removing TX IP CSUM offload flag last August and I did prepare a fix but later forgot to submit. Anyway your fix is fine.

Thanks,
Louis
