Description Pablo Cascon 2018-05-15 05:33:27 EDT
Please backport the following commit needed for BZ 1558567:

commit 65a87968f4cfd9cf7a433a3156d98118078f9e4e
Author: Pablo Cascón <pablo.cascon@netronome.com>

    netdev-dpdk: don't enable scatter for jumbo RX support for nfp
    
    Currently to RX jumbo packets fails for NICs not supporting scatter.
    Scatter is not strictly needed for jumbo RX support. This change fixes
    the issue by not enabling scatter only for the PMD/NIC known not to
    need it to support jumbo RX.
    
    Note: this change is temporary and not needed for later releases OVS/DPDK
