Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/mlx5: Allow configuring mlx5 port for TX only

[Alexander Kozyrev <akozyrev@mellanox.com>]

Hi Mohsin, the problem you described has been already fixed by 606d690 ("net/mlx5: fix running without Rx queue").
I guess you see the issue on 19.11 branch, right? Could you please apply this patch and verify that it fixes the issue for you?

Regards,
Alex
