[dpdk-stable] please help backporting some patches to stable release 16.11.1

[Yuanhan Liu]

Hi commit authors (and maintainers),

I tried to pick following commits from upstream to stable branch 16.11,
but I failed: they can't be applied. I'm wondering can the authors check
the following list and backport some patches belong to them?

FYI, branch 16.11 at git://dpdk.org/dpdk-stable is the place those patches
should be packported to. It'd be great if you could do that in one or two
weeks. If so, please do me a favor by adding a heading line like following
before the commit log body:

    [ backported from upstream commit xxx ]

Example: http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=16.07&id=c4831394c7d1944d8ec27d52c22997f20d19718e

Please let me know if you have any comments, say, need more time, or it's
worthless to packport it. And please send it to "stable@dpdk.org", but not
"dev@dpdk.org".

Thanks.

Thanks!

This one is actually applied. It turned out to be another issue of
"git am fails while git cherry-pick works", as stated in following
reply:

    http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/stable/2017-February/001044.html

I will update my script and now it's applied.

For the same reason, 76bf157 ("net/mlx5: fix updating total length
of multi-packet send") is also applied.

Okay, thanks for the note!

Now, there is only one left: a9f2fbc ("net/mlx5: fix inconsistent link
status"). Woud you or Shahaf (the author) backport it, please?

I plan to do a stable patches review today or tomorrow, then the final
release will be out in about 2 weeks. If you could do that before it,
that'd be great. If not, it will be postponed to next release.

Yuanhan,

 - 0603df7  Nélio Laranjeiro net/mlx5: fix Rx packet validation and type

Depends on another fix:
 501505c5608a "net/mlx: fix IPv4 and IPv6 packet type",
please apply this one before and mine will then apply without any
conflict.

According to our discussion [1], please do not handle the following
patches:

 - f04f1d5  Nélio Laranjeiro net/mlx5: fix Tx WQE corruption caused by starvation
 - 8fcd6c2  Nélio Laranjeiro net/mlx5: fix inline WQE consumption

They need to be totally re-written to apply on top of DPDK 16.11 stable
branch.

Thanks,

If you don't have time recently, you could backport them later, then they
will be candidates for 16.11.2.
