[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 week. 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".

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

Thanks.

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,

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.

Hi commit authors (and maintainers),

FYI, branch 16.11 at git://dpdk.org/dpdk-stable is the place those patches

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

"dev@dpdk.org".
