[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/thunderx: fix Tx desc corruption in scatter-gather mode' has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/08/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/thunderx: fix Tx desc corruption in scatter-gather mode

[ upstream commit 823ebfc219f3fa53361afc7ce663f72464bfb3ff ]

For performance reasons, word1 of send_hdr_s
sub descriptor was not cleared assuming it is always
having default value of zero since it comes from fixed
offsets of SQ buffer.
This is causing issues in case of SG mode because,
the size of send command might change and hence the word1
of send_hdr_s is not always at fixed offsets of the SQ buffer
and hence not having default value of zero.

This fixes the issue by clearing the word1 in case of SG mode
for every packet.

Fixes: 1c421f18e095 ("net/thunderx: add single and multi-segment Tx")
