patch 'net/iavf: fix TSO with big segments' has been queued to stable release 21.11.6

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/08/23. 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. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/49e338a2b26ce9b5f586bbf6aba3f21b388d8848

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/iavf: fix TSO with big segments

[ upstream commit 8a1a5327ba71a19d8a6e1b9ceb5563b4af2c2029 ]

Packets to be segmented with TSO are usually larger than MTU.
Plus, a single segment for the whole packet may be used: in OVS case,
an external rte_malloc'd buffer is used for packets received
from vhost-user ports.

Before this fix, TSO packets were dropped by net/iavf with the following
message:
2023-09-18T14:08:52.739Z|00610|dpdk(pmd-c31/id:11)|ERR|iavf_prep_pkts():
	INVALID mbuf: bad data_len=[2962]

Remove the check on data_len.

Fixes: 19ee91c6bd9a ("net/iavf: check illegal packet sizes")
