            Bug ID: 1058
           Summary: Mellanox mlx5_pmd is reporting incorrect number of
                    maximum rx and tx queues supported from
                    rte_eth_dev_info_get
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 21.11
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: sahithi.singam@oracle.com
  Target Milestone: ---

DPDK is incorrectly reporting maximum number of Rx and Tx queues supported as
1024 where as linux is correctly reporting them in ethtool output. 

Maximum number of rx queues supported on Mellanox Connect X6 Dx SRIOV VFs 
were reported as 1024 when used with DPDK but they were reported as only 15
when used with linux. This behavior is same even when DPDK was used on Mellanox
ConnectX4 based SRIOV Virtual Functions.
