If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jose Ignacio Tornos Martinez [ Upstream commit 3ba4dd024d26372733d1c02e13e076c6016e3320 ] The ice driver's VF queue configuration validation rejects databuffer_size values below 1024 bytes, which prevents VFs from using MTU values below 871 bytes. The iavf driver calculates databuffer_size based on the MTU using: databuffer_size = ALIGN(MTU + LIBETH_RX_LL_LEN, 128) where LIBETH_RX_LL_LEN = 26 (ETH_HLEN + 2*VLAN_HLEN + ETH_FCS_LEN). For MTU values below 871: MTU 870: 870 + 26 = 896, aligned to 128 = 896 (< 1024, rejected) MTU 871: 871 + 26 = 897, aligned to 128 = 1024 (>= 1024, accepted) The 1024-byte minimum seems unnecessarily restrictive, because the hardware supports databuffer_size as low as 128 bytes (the alignment boundary), which should allow MTU values down to the standard minimum of 68 bytes. I haven't found the reason why the limit was configured in the commit 9c7dd7566d18 ("ice: add validation in OP_CONFIG_VSI_QUEUES VF message"), so with no more information and since it is working, change the minimum databuffer_size validation from 1024 to 128 bytes to allow standard low MTU values while still preventing invalid configurations.
