This task is tracking the test case writing activities to cover the bug described below.

 Problem Description: Clearly explain the issue.

ice/i40e driver: sriov dpdk pvp case got low performance (about half of the normal performance)
 

 Impact Assessment: Describe the severity and impact (e.g., network down,availability of a workaround, etc.).

 Software Versions: Specify the exact versions in use (e.g.,openvswitch3.1-3.1.0-147.el8fdp).

dpdk-24.11.2-1.el9
kernel-5.14.0-427.70.1.el9_4
 

  Issue Type: Indicate whether this is a new issue or a regression (if a regression, state the last known working version).

dpdk-24.11.1-2.el9 and dpdk-23.11-2.el9_4 doesn't have this issue.
 

 Reproducibility: Confirm if the issue can be reproduced consistently. If not, describe how often it occurs.

Yes, it can reproduced
 

 Reproduction Steps: Provide detailed steps or scripts to replicate the issue.

 Expected Behavior: Describe what should happen under normal circumstances.

The sriov pvp performance got normal result, about 35-37mpps.
 

 Observed Behavior: Explain what actually happens.

The sriov pvp performance case got 18mpps with dpdk-24.11.2-1.el9.
