> Subject: [PATCH] net/thunderx: fix MTU configuration for jumbo pkts
> X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.7.4
> 
> thunderx pmd driver passes dev_info.max_rx_pktlen as
> 9200 (via rte_eth_dev_info_get()) to application.
> But, when application tries to set MTU as
> (9200 - sizeof(ethernet_header_t)) the operation fails
> because of missing CRC and VLAN additions.
> 
> This patch fixes the following for thunderx pmd driver:
>  - Sets NIC_HW_MAX_FRS to 9216 (instead of 9200)
>  - Sets NIC_HW_MAX_MTU to 9190 (NIC_HW_MAX_FRS - ETH_HLEN
>    - ETHER_CRC_LEN - 2*VLAN_HLEN)
>  - Sets dev_info->max_rx_pkt_len to NIC_HW_MAX_MTU +
>    ETH_HLEN (instead of 9200)
>  - Allows rte_eth_dev_set_mtu() to pass if application
>    (like VPP) calls rte_eth_dev_set_mtu() before
>    rte_eth_dev_start() by putting appropriate check for
>    dev->data->dev_started
> 
> Fixes: 65d9804edc05 ("net/thunderx: support MTU configuration")
