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.

This is not the best way to handle checking validity of MTU value.

The device should report min/max MTU and then rte_eth_dev_set_mtu
will do enforcement there.

This allows application to know what MTU to use, and eliminates
guess/check behavior.

It looks like the above check is redundant as rte_eth_dev_set_mtu() already checks the same based on dev_info->min_mtu and max_mtu.  But seems many other drivers are doing the same check so probably a separate patch to clean this up.

    +

Can you add the following for the vmxnet3 backend to see the change:

	dev->data->mtu = mtu;  /* this is needed because vmxnet3_dev_start use this to update the backend but  rte_eth_dev_set_mtu() set it after the driver callback */

	/* changing mtu for vmxnet3 pmd does not require a restart
