Hi all,


I found dpdk-i40e could not receive vlan packet whose ip_len was bigger than 1496, 


and I tested the same test cases with i350(igb)  network card, NO such issue.


Was it a bug in DPDK? Thanks!


Test Environment£º
* netcard : Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller XL710 for 40GbE QSFP
* CPU : Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4116 CPU @ 2.10GHz
* OS : Ubuntu 16.04 
* DPDK£º 19.05

Step 2: configure KNI interface WITHOUT VLAN
$ sudo ifconfig vEth0 192.168.99.141/24


Step 3: configure KNI interface WITH VLAN ID

$ sudo vconfig add vEth0 589
Added VLAN with VID == 589 to IF -:vEth0:-
$ sudo ifconfig vEth0 192.168.100.141/24
 

Step 4£ºping KNI IP(no VLAN) from antoher PC
$ ping -c 1 -s 1472 -M do 192.168.99.141     
PING 192.168.99.141 (192.168.99.141) 1472(1500) bytes of data.  <<<< It's OK for ip payload 1500
1480 bytes from 192.168.99.141: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=7.53 ms


Step 5: ping KNI VLAN IP from anther PC
$ ping -c 1 -s 1468 -M do 192.168.100.141  
PING 192.168.100.141 (192.168.100.141) 1468(1496) bytes of data.   <<<< It's OK for ip payload 1496

$ ping -c 1 -s 1469 -M do 192.168.100.141  
PING 192.168.100.141 (192.168.100.141) 1469(1497) bytes of data.   <<< failed for ip payload 1497
