Subject: [PATCH] mbuf: dump Tx offload metadata
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 14:11:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251031131159.1199221-1-david.marchand@redhat.com> (raw)

When debugging TSO and other checksum offloads, dumping the various
l*_len fields and TSO segmentation size can be helpful.

Example in OVS that dumps a mbuf on rte_eth_tx_prepare failure:

Before:
netdev_dpdk(pmd-c30/id:11)|DBG|dpdk0: First invalid packet:
dump mbuf at 0x2201a916c0, iova=0x2200800580, buf_len=6864
  pkt_len=6804, ol_flags=0x3114800000000102, nb_segs=1, port=65535, ptype=0
  segment at 0x2201a916c0, data=0x22008005b2, len=6804, off=50, refcnt=1
  Dump data at [0x22008005b2], len=6804
...

After:
netdev_dpdk(pmd-c30/id:11)|DBG|dpdk0: First invalid packet:
dump mbuf at 0x2201a916c0, iova=0x2200800580, buf_len=6864, pkt_len=6804
  outer_l2_len=14, outer_l3_len=40, l2_len=38, l3_len=40, l4_len=32, tso_segsz=0
  ol_flags=0x3114800000000102, nb_segs=1, port=65535, ptype=0
  segment at 0x2201a916c0, data=0x22008005b2, len=6804, off=50, refcnt=1
  Dump data at [0x22008005b2], len=6804
...
