[dpdk-dev] One pkt in mbuf chain - virtio pmd driver

[dpdk-dev] One pkt in mbuf chain - virtio pmd driver

[Czaus, Tomasz]

Hello,

Does virtio pmd driver support scenario when a frame fits in mbuf chain, this means all headers (eth/ipv4/tcp) are located in first mbuf and user data is located in next mbuf. I have asked the same question on dpdk-ovs mailing group, here is a thread and more details:

Hi Tomasz:
This is a known issue in user space vhost. Will be fixed in subsequent patch once the vhost lib is applied.

Existing DPDK 1.7 virtio driver does not.
I wrote a virtio DPDK driver (before the 1.6 one) that does handle it, so it is possible.

I have some patches to handle multi-part mbuf and messages, based on backport
from that driver but they are untested.
