Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] examples/l3fwd: fix jumbo packet drop
issue

l3fwd uses mbufs with 2KB data size. If we enable jumbo packets, it is
not able to store packets with size greater than 2KB, hence these
packets are dropped.
This patch fixes this issue by enabling scatter for jumbo packet, if
it is supported by NIC.
If scatter is not supported by NIC and max jumbo packet length is
greater than default mbuf data size, then application exits with
proper error message.

This is a configuration set by application. So application is failing itself
because
of configuration it sets, seems odd.
I guess the jumbo frame can be enabled when user provides '--enable-jumbo'
argument. What do you think adding above check where that argument is
parsed.
We need to check if hardware supports Rx scatter. To do this, we need to get Rx
capability. Hence, this is a better place to perform this check.
Got it.
There is already a patch [1] that I am trying to update the 'max_rx_pkt_len'
usage and remove OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME flag [2] etc.. Those touch to the same
piece of code, can you please check them?
After those patches, your update can be put into 'config_port_max_pkt_len()' I
think. Can you be OK to wait them to merged first and make you patch on top of
it?

Hi Rohit,
Can you please check this patch on top of latest next-net?
Since 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME' is removed, only 'DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER'
capability
check can be sufficient.
And still same comment on 'RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_DATAROOM' check, it is application's
responsibility to allocate the mempool for mbufs, so instead of checking the
mbuf buffer size and fail, application can allocate mempool size based on
user provided frame size value if driver doesn't support scattered Rx.
Thanks,
ferruh
Btw, no need to enable scattered Rx if the packets fits into buffer, so above
check can be done slightly different:
if (max_rx_pkt_len > buffer_size)
if (OFFLOAD_SCATTER supported)
enable OFFLOAD_SCATTER
else
fail
Agreed. I will do this in next version of the patch.
