Wonder why ixgbe doesn't have PKT_TX_IPV6?

Same question for e1000 and fm10k.
Also if you decided to go that way, you'll probably need to update TX_OFFLOAD_MASK
for enic and vmxnet3.
That's why I still think it would be much less hassle not to include
these flags (PKT_TX_IPV4 and PKT_TX_IPV6)  into TX_OFFLOAD_MASK at all.

Thanks for pointing that. PKT_TX_IPV6 is missed.
About whether include these flags (PKT_TX_IPV4 and PKT_TX_IPV6)  into TX_OFFLOAD_MASK, I think they should be
Included. Think about one NIC may support IPV4 L4 checksum offload, but not support IPV6? Even I don't know who it is.

Thanks

I don't think such combination is possible now anyway.
But ok, if your preference is it to do more work and add (PKT_TX_IPV4 | PKT_TX_IPV6)
into all required places, I wouldn't argue.

BTW, as a side notice, what will be really good is to have a function that would take
tx_offload_capabilities as an input and return tx_offload_mask.
That would remove necessity to update/support TX_OFFLOAD_MASK for each PMD,
and hopefully will allow to avoid confusion for PMD writers. 
Though that's probably subject of another patch.

OK. I think what I did is more than necessary. Let me simplify the change. Thanks!

And about the querying tx offload capabilities, I think it is already been done
In rte_eth_dev_info_get. But it used another set of flags which is not TX flags
Defined in mbuf.

I am not talking about querying device offload capabilities.
I am talking about a function that would take these capabilities reported by the
device and convert them into a set of tx offload flags, that are suitable for these capabilities. 
Something like that:
uint64_t
tx_capa_to flags(uint32_t tx_capa)
{
	uint64_t ol_flags;
	
	ol_flags = 0;

	if (tx_capa &  DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_TCP_TSO)
		ol_flags |= PKT_TX_TCP_SEG |  PKT_TX_IPV4 |  PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM  | PKT_TX_IPV6;
	if (tx_capa &  DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_TCP_CKSUM)
		ol_flags |= PKT_TX_TCP_CKSUM;
	...
	return ol_flags;
}   

Then PMD writer wouldn't need to define TX_OFFLOAD_MASK for his PMD manually.
Instead he can just do at startup/configure phase:
txq->tx_offload_mask = tx_capa_to flags(supported_and_configured_capabilties);

Though, as I said, this is probably subject of another patch/discussion.
