dpdk: patch broken virtio macro
Type: fix In DPDK 20.08, the macro ASSIGN_UNLESS_EQUAL(), which is defined in the virtio PMD code, is broken. It does not actually set the variable that is passed in to the value that is passed in. It just assigns the value to a local variable that it declares. This results in virtqueue_clear_net_hdr() failing to clear the fields in the virtio net header. This can cause packets which were sent over an IPsec tunnel and are subsequently transmitted on a virtio interface to have garbage in the virtio net header. Apply a post-20.08 patch from upstream to fix it. Change-Id: Ic53e89d859db628e26a3c1988e53b626fede94d7 Signed-off-by: Matthew Smith <mgsmith@netgate.com>

+Subject: [PATCH] net/virtio: fix variable assignment in helper macro
+
+Inside Macro ASSIGN_UNLESS_EQUAL(var, val), assignment to var is always
+failing as assignment done using var_ having local scope only.
+This leads to TX packets not going out and found broken due to cleanup
+malfunctioning. This patch fixes the wrong variable assignment.
