[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix Rx queue recovery mechanism

Hello Amiya,

This fix is for an issue with the error recovery mechanism.

I assume the use case you’re referring to is working with rx_vec burst + cqe zipping enabled + error recovery.
If that’s the case, we mentioned in our mlx5.rst that the recovery is not supported.
Since there is no way to discable the recovery in our PMD, we suggested to disable cqe zipping.

However, these days, we are working on a patch to allow the above combination.
It should be sent to the ML in a week or two, once we fully finish testing it.

Regards,
Asaf Penso

Hi All,

I would need some confirmation on this patch.
For some earlier issues encountered on mlx5, we have disable cqe_comp in the mlx5 driver. In that case, do we still need this fix or disabling cqe_comp will take care of it as well?

Regards
Amiya

The local variables are getting inconsistent in data receiving routines
after queue error recovery.
Receive queue consumer index is getting wrong, need to reset one to the
size of the queue (as RQ was fully replenished in recovery procedure).

In MPRQ case, also the local consumed strd variable should be reset.
