> Subject: [PATCH 22.11] net/gve: fix RX buffer size alignment
> 
> The GVE driver has RX buffer size alignment requirements which will
> not always be respected when a user specifies an mbuf size. Assuming
> that an mbuf size is greater than the DPDK recommended default
> (2048 + 128), if the buffer size is not properly aligned with what the
> device expects, the device will silently fail to create any transmit or
> receive queues.
> 
> Because no queues are created, there is no network traffic for the DPDK
> program, and errors like the following are returned when attempting to
> destroy queues:
> 
> gve_adminq_parse_err(): AQ command failed with status -11
> gve_stop_tx_queues(): failed to destroy txqs
> gve_adminq_parse_err(): AQ command failed with status -11
> gve_stop_rx_queues(): failed to destroy rxqs
> 
> This change aims to remedy this by restricting the RX receive buffer
> sizes to valid sizes for the GQ queue format, including both alignment
> and minimum and maximum supported buffer sizes.

> Fixes: 1dc00f4fc74b ("net/gve: add Rx queue setup for DQO")
