[dpdk-users] To enable offloading DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS per port and per queue

[Anupama Laxmi]

I would like to enable per port offloading to set TX offloading for
multiple segments using DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS. UDP packets were getting
dropped with error Bad UDP length > IP payload length as seen in the
wireshark capture. This issue is seen after I upgraded to DPDK 18.08. Hence
I would like to set the offload DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS per port to allow
segmenation of big packets.

I am getting the below error when I try to set the above offload.

Ethdev port_id=0 tx_queue_id=0, new added offloads 0x9f3e55 must be within
pre-queue offload capabilities 0x0 in rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()

Please let me know where I am going wrong and how do I set the offload
DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS correctly.
