When I was using VPP +dpdk-18.02+liqudio CN23xx, I encountered such a bug. \n
When VPP called dpdk_device_start to initialize DPDK liqudio drive, I found that initialization failed. \n
The reason for the failure is that VF MTU > PF MTU, but PF MTU has been modified to 9600 (> VF MTU). \n
Finally, I am location that DPDK liqudio drive cannot get the correct PF driver to liqudio network card. \n
It is due to the fact that when VPP calls dpdk_device_start to initialize DPDK liqudio drive, \n
this time, lio_dev->linfo. Link var already exists in the old value, not empty. \n
Cause lio_dev - > linfo. Link. Link_status64 != 0 statement is set up, \n
and the link info is stopped directly to liqudio card, resulting in no get accurate pf mtu. \n
I did a test model to reproduce the bug, which is to add rte_eth_dev_set_mtu(portid, vf_mtu) \n
to the rte_eth_dev_start function when using dpdk-18.02+liqudio CN23xx+l2fwd. \n
You need to make sure that 1500 < vf_mtu < pf_mtu will be available. \n
At this time, you will have net_liovf[04:00.3]ERROR: lio_dev_mtu_set() VF MTU should be >= 68 and <= 1500. Such a mistake. \n
ps:I am a novice git. Please understand the trouble caused by this.
