4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Rick Farrington <ricardo.farrington@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ac13d6d8eaded15c67265eafc32f439ea3a0ac4a ] When configuring SLI_PKTn_OUTPUT_CONTROL, VF driver was assuming that IPTR mode was disabled by reset, which was not true. Since DPDK driver had set IPTR mode previously, the VF driver (which uses buf-ptr-only mode) was not properly handling DROQ packets (i.e. it saw zero-length packets). This represented an invalid hardware configuration which the driver could not handle.
