[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/tap: fix missing _SC_IOV_MAX

[olegpoly123]

If the value _SC_IOV_MAX is missing, sysconf returns -1.
In this case, iov_max is set to a default value of 1024.

Sorry the email subject does not list [PATCH v3], but maybe someone can fix it when it is applied or should another patch be submitted with [PATCH v3]?

In any case I approve the patch.

Is there any specific commit we can reference for backport?
Maybe this one?
Fixes: ec12df9504fe ("net/tap: fix support for large Rx queues")

You haven't listened to my comment about mixing declaration and
code. Why?

Can I get you to create a define for the 1024 value e.g. #define TAP_IOV_DEFAULT_MAX 1024 or something of that type.
Also change the TAP_LOG to use the define.
