[dpdk-stable] patch 'app/testpmd: fix MTU after device configure' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.11

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.11

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/27/20. 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. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/922feed76bd5d8fe06b95a56afabd3a95987b047

Thanks.

Kevin.

Subject: [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix MTU after device configure

[ upstream commit 1c21ee95cf5298fe7b6a8b7d8a997ff3c402a08f ]

In 'rte_eth_dev_configure()', if 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME' is not set
the max frame size is limited to 'RTE_ETHER_MAX_LEN' (1518).
This is mistake because for the PMDs that has frame size bigger than
"RTE_ETHER_HDR_LEN + RTE_ETHER_CRC_LEN" (18 bytes), the MTU becomes
less than 1500, causing a valid frame with 1500 bytes payload to be
dropped.

Since 'rte_eth_dev_set_mtu()' works as expected, it is called after
'rte_eth_dev_configure()' to fix the MTU.
It may look redundant to set MTU after 'rte_eth_dev_configure()', both
with default values, but it is not, the resulting MTU config can be
different in the device based on frame overhead of the PMD.

And instead of setting the MTU to default value, it is first get via
'rte_eth_dev_get_mtu()' and set again, this is to cover cases MTU
changed from testpmd command line.

'rte_eth_dev_set_mtu()', '-ENOTSUP' error is ignored to prevent
irrelevant warning messages for the virtual PMDs.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
