Bug ID: 1125
Summary: i40e: Tx offload for outer UDP checksum is advertised
but in fact unsupported
Product: DPDK
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: ethdev
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: ivan.ma...@oktetlabs.ru
Target Milestone: ---
In the opensource ethdev verification suite [1], there is a test,
xmit/one_packet, which is tailored specifically for Tx offload checks. In the
case of i40e, the test finds a bug in encap. TSO support.
As shown in [2], a VXLAN packet with TSO request is transmitted, and resulting
packets mismatch because of the wrong checksum in the outer UDP header (it is
the same as the one in the original superframe). However, since the test sees
capability bit TX_OFFLOAD_OUTER_UDP_CKSUM in device info, the checksum is
expected to be offloaded.
According to Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X710/ XXV710/XL710 Datasheet, section
8.4.4.2, "Tunneling UDP headers and GRE header are not offloaded while the
X710/XXV710/XL710 leaves their checksum field as is". That means the i40e PMD
shall not advertise TX_OFFLOAD_OUTER_UDP_CKSUM capability via device info API.
