When I was using VPP +dpdk-18.02+liqudio CN23xx,
I encountered such a bug.
When VPP called dpdk_device_start to initialize DPDK liqudio drive,
I found that initialization failed.
The reason for the failure is that VF MTU > PF MTU,
but PF MTU has been modified to 9600 (> VF MTU).
Finally, I am location that DPDK liqudio drive
cannot get the correct PF driver to liqudio network card.
It is due to the fact that when VPP calls dpdk_device_start to
initialize DPDK liqudio drive,this time,
lio_dev->linfo.Link var already exists in the old value, not empty.
Cause lio_dev->linfo.Link. Link_status64 != 0
statement is set up,
and the link info is stopped directly to liqudio card,
resulting in no get accurate pf mtu.
I did a test model to reproduce the bug,
which is to add rte_eth_dev_set_mtu(portid, vf_mtu)
to the rte_eth_dev_start function when using
dpdk-18.02+liqudio CN23xx+l2fwd.
You need to make sure that 1500 < vf_mtu < pf_mtu will be available.
At this time, you will have
net_liovf[04:00.3]ERROR: lio_dev_mtu_set()
VF MTU should be >= 68 and <= 1500. Such a mistake.
