Bug ID: 373
Summary: i40e: TSO breaks for packets larger than 16k
Product: DPDK
Version: 19.08
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: ethdev
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: joerg.d...@thalheim.io
Target Milestone: ---
According to the linux kernel the maximum buffer size per descriptor is 16k
(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/596cf45cbf6e4fa7bcb0df33e373a7d062b644b5/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.h#L226).
Buffers beyond that size are distributed over multiple descriptors:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/596cf45cbf6e4fa7bcb0df33e373a7d062b644b5/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c#L3393
DPDK however does not perform this distribution:
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/7001c8fdb27357c67147c0a13cb3826e48c0f2bf/drivers/net/i40e/i40e_rxtx.c#L1151
This results in DPDK stop processing packets once a buffer larger 16k is
en-queued.
