This patch backports the commit from the latest OVS master to OVS-2.8.

Configuring flow control at ixgbe netdev-init is throwing error in port
start.
For eg: without this fix, user cannot configure flow control on ixgbe dpdk
port as below,

"
    ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk \
        options:dpdk-devargs=0000:05:00.1 options:rx-flow-ctrl=true
"

Instead,  it must be configured as two different commands,

"
    ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk \
               options:dpdk-devargs=0000:05:00.1
    ovs-vsctl set Interface dpdk0 options:rx-flow-ctrl=true
"

The DPDK ixgbe driver is now validating all the 'rte_eth_fc_conf' fields before
trying to configuring the dpdk ethdev. Hence OVS can no longer set the
'dont care' fields to just '0' as before. This commit make sure all the
'rte_eth_fc_conf' fields are populated with default values before the dev
init.
Also to avoid read error on unsupported ports, the flow control parameters
are now read only when user is trying to configure/update it.

Bleep bloop.  Greetings Sugesh Chandran, I am a robot and I have tried out your patch.
Thanks for your contribution.

I encountered some error that I wasn't expecting.  See the details below.


git-am:
Failed to merge in the changes.
Patch failed at 0001 netdev-dpdk: Fix failure to configure flow control at netdev-init.
The copy of the patch that failed is found in:
   /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/upstream_build_from_pw/workspace/.git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --resolved".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".


Please check this out.  If you feel there has been an error, please email aconole@bytheb.org

Thanks,

This happened because Branch2.8 doesn't match any such branch in the
repository.  It isn't a problem with your patch, per-se.

In the future, if you use branch-x.y the bot will detect the branch and
switch to using that branch.  Then the checks will be more robust.

Hi Aron,
Thank you for pointing out.
I will send out the patch again with right branch convention to make the robot happy.

No need.  We can ignore the bot in this case.  A committer can do the
right thing.  Just an FYI for future commits.

Thanks!

Thanks Sugesh, I'll backport this and the 2.7 patch to the appropriate branches as part of today's pull request.
