Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/26/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/virtio: add missing supported features

[ upstream commit 66908eff12627c3dd09b0e1f3801d57b425f2e23 ]

The virtio features VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM, VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_TSO4
and VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_TSO6 are supported by the virtio PMD.
But they are missing in the supported feature set. And since
below commit:

commit 4174a7b59d05 ("net/virtio: improve Tx offload features negotiation")

Virtio PMD will announce the Tx offloading capabilities based
on the features read from the device. And virtio-user won't
report the features which are not in virtio-PMD's supported
feature set. So since that commit, virtio-user won't announce
the DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_UDP_CKSUM, DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_TCP_CKSUM and
DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_TCP_TSO offloading capabilities even if the
vhost backend supports them.

This patch adds these missing features, and virtio-user will
report them if the backend supports them.

Fixes: 142678d42959 ("net/virtio-user: fix wrongly get/set features")
