[dpdk-users] Crash in FM10k - fm10k_rxtx_vec.c

[Anthony Hart]

Found a crash in the FM10k vector driver when it tries to send a packet with a 
VLAN header priority (PCP) field value >= 4.  This results in the FM10k 
returning the following error.

testpmd> PMD: fm10k_dev_interrupt_handler_pf(): INT: find fault!
PMD: fm10k_dev_handle_fault(): THI_MAL_DIS_Q_FAULT: PF(0) Addr:0x0 Spec: 0x0

The reason is the (pkt->vlan_tci << 16) value gets sign extended and causes 
illegal values to be written into the TX descriptor.   The following is a patch 
to fix the issue.  I don’t know what the procedure is for getting this into the 
fix stream.
