Hi,
I think I might have found a bug in test-pmd, but I want to make sure.
One can set VLAN stripping to be on or off with "vlan set strip off/on
all" etc. Let's assume that user stops all ports ("port stop all"), then
modifies max-pkt-len and disbales VLAN stripping ("port config all
max-pkt-len 2048", then "vlan set strip off all"). Next, they start all
ports ("port start all").
User may think that VLAN stripping is off, however, in init_port_config
vlan stripping is enabled (by assignment port->dev_conf.rxmode =
rx_mode), and this setting persists when configuring device once again
in start_port(portid_t) (which is called after issuing "port start all"
if port->need_reconfig is greater than 0). Thus, even though user
disabled VLAN stripping, it is still on.
The question is: should port configuration be updated by adding lines
like "port->dev_conf.rxmode.hw_vlan_strip = 0" in rx_vlan_strip_set
etc.? Or maybe VLAN offload modification should be made only with
reconfiguring whole ports, and there should be no calls to
rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_offload (which does not need the port to be
switched off). Which is the right approach?
Regards,
Angela
