It's hard to debug situations where driver rejects packets for some reason. Dumping out the mbuf should help with that.
Sample output looks like this: |netdev_dpdk(pmd-c03/id:8)|DBG|ovs-p1: First invalid packet: dump mbuf at 0x1180bce140, iova=0x2cb7ce400, buf_len=2176 pkt_len=64, ol_flags=0x2, nb_segs=1, port=65535, ptype=0 segment at 0x1180bce140, data=0x1180bce580, len=90, off=384, refcnt=1 Dump data at [0x1180bce580], len=64 00000000: 33 33 00 00 00 16 AA 27 91 F9 4D 96 86 DD 60 00 | 33.....'..M...`. 00000010: 00 00 00 24 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | ...$............ 00000020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 | ................ 00000030: 00 00 00 00 00 16 3A 00 05 02 00 00 01 00 8F 00 | ......:......... Signed-off-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maxim...@ovn.org> --- Version 2: * Only dumping the first invalid packet as we don't actually know if the other ones correct or not. [Kevin] Also, we may want to have this backported to 3.3 and maybe 3.2, as I suspect those will be branches where will will actually have to debug offloading rejection issues. We already have a few. For example: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs-issues/issues/321 for which I actually prepared this patch in the first place. This is a debug-only change that should not have any impact on end users.
