When the mtu_set() function is not implemented, rte_eth_dev_set_mtu()
fails with -ENOTSUP and mtu is not stored in the mtu field in the
rte_eth_dev_data.  This causes the mtu in Vmxnet3_MiscConf which is
shared with hypervisor to always be set to 1500.

This may cause issues receiving jumbo frames on Enhanced Data Path
N-VDS.

Removed redundant MTU check in vmxnet3_dev_mtu_set() which should already be done
in rte_eth_dev_set_mtu().

Don't you need to reset the rx ring to change mtu on the fly?
At a minimum you need to communicate this value to host through the
shared driver page.

MTU change is currently only allowed when device is stopped.

Current code in master branch already sets MTU in shared data correctly when starting the device:

static int
vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared(struct rte_eth_dev *dev)
{
        struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = dev->data->dev_conf;
        struct vmxnet3_hw *hw = dev->data->dev_private;
        uint32_t mtu = dev->data->mtu;
...
        devRead->misc.mtu = rte_le_to_cpu_32(mtu);
...
}

However current code in master branch does not implement a mtu_set() function so MTU in the dev->data is never changed from default of 1500:

int
rte_eth_dev_set_mtu(uint16_t port_id, uint16_t mtu)
{
        int ret;
        struct rte_eth_dev_info dev_info;
        struct rte_eth_dev *dev;

        RTE_ETH_VALID_PORTID_OR_ERR_RET(port_id, -ENODEV);
        dev = &rte_eth_devices[port_id];
        RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_ERR_RET(*dev->dev_ops->mtu_set, -ENOTSUP);

        /*
         * Check if the device supports dev_infos_get, if it does not
         * skip min_mtu/max_mtu validation here as this requires values
         * that are populated within the call to rte_eth_dev_info_get()
         * which relies on dev->dev_ops->dev_infos_get.
         */
        if (*dev->dev_ops->dev_infos_get != NULL) {
                rte_eth_dev_info_get(port_id, &dev_info);
                if (mtu < dev_info.min_mtu || mtu > dev_info.max_mtu)
                        return -EINVAL;
        }

        ret = (*dev->dev_ops->mtu_set)(dev, mtu);
        if (!ret)
                dev->data->mtu = mtu;

        return eth_err(port_id, ret);
}

The vmxnet3 driver just needs to implement mtu_set() so that rte_eth_dev_set_mtu() allows changing the MTU and puts the value in dev->data->mtu .

Applied to dpdk-next-net/master, thanks.

'mtu' is unused and giving build error:
error: unused parameter ‘mtu’ [-Werror=unused-parameter]

Fixed while merging:
 +vmxnet3_dev_mtu_set(struct rte_eth_dev *dev, uint16_t mtu __rte_unused)

It seems there is waiting change request from the maintainer that I missed,
dropping the patch from the tree and updating the patchwork state.

Charles, can you please sync with Yong if the change request is not clear?
