All,
The receive checksum issue seems to be caused by using a RX_FREE_THRESH value that is 32 or larger, as validated by the test-pmd application.
I used 2 different packet types - bad IP checksum sent to port 0 and bad tcp checksum to port 1. The way I was sending the packets did not vary between the various tests.
Below is a brief summary of the testing - additional gory text is attached.
0, 8, 16, 24, 28, 30, 31 are okay.
Values above 32 are not, as tested with 32, 64 and 128.
I will continue researching this - The version I used to test this is the vanilla version of DPDK 1.3, but with the RSC disable patch applied (helps when there are many ACKs).
Thanks,
Bryan Benson
