Hi all,

Currently it's the case that for some NICs (e.g. igb driver or ixgbe driver 
based), scatter_rx needs to be enabled explicitly in the case where it was not 
configured before.

A patch submitted for ovs-dpdk proposes to check that the 
DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER flag is present in rte_ethdev_info.rx_offload_capa 
before setting scatter_rx.

https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2018-April/345901.html

While testing igb and ixgbe devices I spotted the DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER flag 
is not set in rx_offload_capa.

As these devices require scatter_rx, should the scatter_rx flag be set for them 
as part of the eth_igb_infos_get() for igb and ixgbe_dev_info_get for ixgbe?

Thanks
Ian
