[ Upstream commit 3ba4dd024d ]
The ice driver's VF queue configuration validation rejects
databuffer_size values below 1024 bytes, which prevents VFs from
using MTU values below 871 bytes.
The iavf driver calculates databuffer_size based on the MTU using:
databuffer_size = ALIGN(MTU + LIBETH_RX_LL_LEN, 128)
where LIBETH_RX_LL_LEN = 26 (ETH_HLEN + 2*VLAN_HLEN + ETH_FCS_LEN).
For MTU values below 871:
MTU 870: 870 + 26 = 896, aligned to 128 = 896 (< 1024, rejected)
MTU 871: 871 + 26 = 897, aligned to 128 = 1024 (>= 1024, accepted)
The 1024-byte minimum seems unnecessarily restrictive, because the hardware
supports databuffer_size as low as 128 bytes (the alignment boundary),
which should allow MTU values down to the standard minimum of 68 bytes.
I haven't found the reason why the limit was configured in the commit
9c7dd7566d ("ice: add validation in OP_CONFIG_VSI_QUEUES VF message"), so
with no more information and since it is working, change the minimum
databuffer_size validation from 1024 to 128 bytes to allow standard low
MTU values while still preventing invalid configurations.
