Bug ID: 549
Summary: With offloads, bond device initialization fails with
command-line bond arguments
Product: DPDK
Version: 20.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: eventdev
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: kiran.k...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
In Tungsten fabric, we are trying to initialize bond device using the
command-line vdev argument -
"--vdev
eth_bond_bond0,mode=4,xmit_policy=l34,socket_id=0,mac=00:1b:21:bb:f9:48,lacp_rate=0,slave=0000:02:00.0,slave=0000:02:00.1"
We have the bond device offloads set - DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CHECKSUM and
DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME
It fails here -
https://github.com/DPDK/dpdk/blob/main/lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.c#L1378
In DPDK 18.05, this "return" was not present, but it's added in DPDK 19.11.
The reason it fails there is because bond inherits offloads from slave. But in
case where command-line arguments are present for the bond, the slave is
initialized from the bond driver later and so it is not initialized. Due to
this, offloads are not inherited to the bond device and the above check fails.
I have discussed this with Doherty, Declan <declan.dohe...@intel.com> and he
agrees this needs to be fixed.
