Bug ID: 538
Summary: Incorrect packets sent by mlx5 with multiseg
configuration in testpmd
Product: DPDK
Version: 18.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: Normal
Component: testpmd
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: david.march...@redhat.com
Target Milestone: ---
This is something that Dumitru Ceara caught.
Filing the bz for him as he can't work on a patch right now.
Configuring multisegments in testpmd with the txpkts option, the mlx5 driver
will send truncated packets.
As far as we understand, this is because testpmd does not ask for
DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS offload.
But since the problem is only reproduced with mlx5 driver, this might ask for
more investigation.
