On T5/T6, small packets can be packed into the same FL buffer. Only the first response for that buffer has NEWBUF set; later responses can refer to the same buffer with a different payload offset. The current PMD consumes one FL buffer per response. When packed responses are delivered, the FL consumer state goes out of sync with the hardware and the affected ingress queue stops making progress. From user space this shows up as: - rx_bgN_dropped_packets increasing at line rate - q_ipackets for the affected queue staying at 0 - imissed increasing - no recovery until the port is restarted Fix this by tracking packed-buffer alignment and copying packet payload from the current FL buffer at q->offset, only freeing the FL buffer once it has actually been consumed. This patch: - adds sge::fl_align from the ingress pad/pack settings - introduces cxgbe_copy_rx_pkt() to copy from packed FL buffers - advances q->offset by len rounded up to fl_align - frees an FL buffer only after full consumption - drains the previous buffer when a later response arrives with NEWBUF Reproduce (T62100-LP-CR, FW 2.1.19.0 / TP 0.1.23.2): dpdk-testpmd -l 1-9 -a 0000:18:00.4 -- \ --rxq=32 --txq=32 --nb-cores=8 --forward-mode=rxonly -i testpmd> port stop all testpmd> flow flush 0 testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth \ / vlan tci spec 0 tci mask 0x0007 \ / end actions queue index 5 / end testpmd> port start all testpmd> start Without this patch, rx_qN_packets stays at 0 while rx_bgN_dropped_packets rises at line rate. With the patch, rx_qN_packets tracks received traffic and rx_bgN_dropped_packets stays at 0.
