[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/vhost: restore pseudo TSO support

[David Marchand]

The net/vhost pmd does not comply with the ethdev offload API as it does
not report rx/tx offload capabilities wrt TSO and checksum offloading.
On the other hand, the net/vhost pmd lets guest negotiates TSO and
checksum offloading.

Changing the behavior for rx/tx offload flags handling won't
improve/fix this situation and will break applications that might have
been relying on implicit support of TSO in this driver.

Revert this behavior change until we have a complete fix.

Fixes: ca7036b4af3a ("vhost: fix offload flags in Rx path")

The full fix requires:
- reporting rx/tx_offload_capa,
- supporting sw TSO and checksums for the case when a virtual machine
  negotiates this feature, but the application does not configure
  DEV_[RT]X_OFFLOAD_* appropriate flags,
