[PATCH] net/iavf: fix Tx offloading flags check

[Radu Nicolau]

Use IAVF_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK flags instead of IAVF_TX_CKSUM_OFFLOAD_MASK.

Not sure if this will break previous fix.
Could you please provide some clarification regarding the specific offload flags that not in IAVF_TX_CKSUM_OFFLOAD_MASK, but you still don't want to skip?

A specific flag is RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_SECURITY, and because this is not 
contained in IAVF_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK the previous fix broke the inline 
crypto feature.

The previous fix was supposed to prevent reading l2_len and l3_len if no 
Tx offloads has been requested - but there are offloads that can be 
requested that are not in the IAVF_TX_CKSUM_OFFLOAD_MASK set.

RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_SECURITY is a ethdev level flag.
This is not supposed to be in a mbuf ol_flags, is it?

No, it's not, you are right. Actually it's RTE_MBUF_F_TX_SEC_OFFLOAD, 
and that also means the IAVF_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK definition is not correct. 
I will send another patch to fix the definition of IAVF_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK.

As for this fix, if you prefer a safer approach I can add another check 
only for RTE_MBUF_F_TX_SEC_OFFLOAD, but one way or the other we need to 
have this fix.

There are multiple helpers touching offloads in this code and I don't
have a clear view of what the best fix for this driver is.

My concern is that IAVF_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK mixes both packet types
(RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IPV[46], RTE_MBUF_F_TX_OUTER_IPV6[46]...) and actual
offloading requests (RTE_MBUF_F_TX_VLAN, RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IP_CKSUM
etc...).

In the mbuf API, the presence of "packet types" tx flags is not
described as something that requires filling l2_len / l3_len etc...
For a similar reason, the presence of RTE_MBUF_F_TX_VLAN tells nothing
about l2_len / l3_len.
So switching to IAVF_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK seems dangerous.

As for your suggestion, it seems safer only checking
RTE_MBUF_F_TX_SEC_OFFLOAD, I agree.


This code is still really hard to follow, so I'll let Intel
maintainers advise on the best fix.
