Subject: [PATCH v2] net/idpf: fix Tx of large mbuf segments
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 09:23:37 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701082337.3176970-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626134440.2108591-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
When TSO is enabled, and we get a packet to transmit where an individual
mbuf segment is longer than 16k, we need to split that segment across
multiple Tx descriptors. This support is present in the single-queue
mode of idpf - since it shares common code with the other Intel drivers
- but was missing from the splitq path.
This patch adds the proper data path handling. Previous work ensured
that the descriptor count calculation took over-sized segments into
account but the actual descriptor writing part was overlooked.
Fixes: 770f4dfe0f79 ("net/idpf: support basic Tx data path")
Fixes: 2904020f8313 ("net/intel: add common function to calculate needed descs")

V2: change check for number of free descriptor slots to use the correct
count, rather than just the number of mbuf segments passed
