            Bug ID: 17
           Summary: vhost example VLAN offloading not working on igb tx
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 17.05
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev at dpdk.org
          Reporter: henning.schild at siemens.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The igb driver does not send any packets when requesting PKT_TX_VLAN_PKT. While
the xmit-function returns success (number of tx pkts) no packets actually leave
the NIC.


Steps to reproduce:
Get an Intel I350 and run the vhost-example application, like that

  ./vhost-switch -c 3 -n 1 -m 1400 -w 0000:04:00.0 -- -p 1  --socket-file
/tmp/sock0

Attach a qemu and send a few pkts.

Expected Result:
tcpdump on a remote machine (direct cable connection) will see the pkts comming
in.

Actual Result:
No Packets leaving the NIC.

Additional Information:
lspci of the NIC
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection

        Kernel modules: igb

Doing the VLAN-tagging in SW works as expected. Modified vhost to not set
m->ol_flags |= PKT_TX_VLAN_PKT and instead called rte_vlan_insert(&m);
