It seems this fix has been missed in 21.11 (for the reason we
discussed with Kevin offlist).
Our QE reported that reception of jumbo frames seems broken in the 21.11 branch.
I can reproduce with a X710 nic: v21.11.0 is fine, but v21.11.1 and
v21.11.2 show the following error log.
Dec 05 05:41:37 xxx ovs-vswitchd[53585]:
ovs|00183|dpdk|ERR|i40e_set_mac_max_frame(): Set max frame size at
port level not applicable on link down
The log goes away with backporting this current patch.
Can this be added to 21.11 queue, and have Intel validate this issue?
Thanks!
