Currently, 'rte_eth_dev_configure' fails on attempt to setup max_rx_pkt_len > 2048 if no slaves was added to bonded device.
For example: rte_eth_dev_attach("eth_bond0,slave=05:00.0,mode=l34", &id) conf.rxmode.jumbo_frame = 1; conf.rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len = 9000; rte_eth_dev_configure(id, 1, 1, &conf) Result: EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for eth_bond0 EAL: Create bonded device eth_bond0 on port 4 in mode 2 on socket 0. rte_eth_dev_configure: ethdev port_id=4 \ max_rx_pkt_len 9018 > max valid value 2048 It's expected that slaves will be added to bonded device inside 'rte_eth_dev_configure' and proper 'max_rx_pktlen' configured for all of them. Failure happens because of hardcoded low value of 'max_rx_pktlen'. Increasing of this value to ETHER_MAX_JUMBO_FRAME_LEN will allow above scenario (attach + configure). It is important because it is the way OVS wants to work with all DPDK devices (including virtual). Changing the default hardcoded value makes no harm because all the slaves' related code uses only 'candidate_max_rx_pktlen' variable.
