We should set the offload in 'port->rx_conf[].offloads' if it is set in 'port->dev_conf.rxmode.offloads'. If a port has capability for 'JUMBO_FRAME', 'port->rx_conf[].offloads' can have it. And the port level capability is already checked above.
I'm still not 100% clear about the per-queue offload question. With this patch, and jumbo max packet size configured (on the command line in this case), I see: testpmd> show port 0 rx_offload configuration Rx Offloading Configuration of port 0 : Port : JUMBO_FRAME Queue[ 0] : JUMBO_FRAME testpmd> show port 0 rx_offload capabilities Rx Offloading Capabilities of port 0 : Per Queue : Per Port : VLAN_STRIP IPV4_CKSUM UDP_CKSUM TCP_CKSUM TCP_LRO OUTER_IPV4_CKSUM VLAN_FILTER VLAN_EXTEND JUMBO_FRAME SCATTER TIMESTAMP KEEP_CRC OUTER_UDP_CKSUM RSS_HASH Yet if I configure a jumbo MTU starting with standard max packet size, jumbo is only enabled at the port level: testpmd> port config mtu 0 9000 testpmd> port start all testpmd> show port 0 rx_offload configuration Rx Offloading Configuration of port 0 : Port : JUMBO_FRAME Queue[ 0] : It still seems odd for a per-queue offload to be enabled on a PMD that doesn't support per-queue receive offloads.
