Hi.
I beleive that I was added to this thread as a reviewer of
"e11411b52  Maxime Coquelin  vhost: fix missing increment of log cache count".

Looking at the current dpdk-stable/17.11 I see that the patch could not be
applied because it fixes issue introduced by another patch
c16915b87109 ("vhost: improve dirty pages logging performance") that doesn't
exist in this branch. OTOH, this patch exists in stable 16.11.
So, I have a question: Is there any reason why c16915b87109 was backported
to 16.11 but not to 17.11 ?

P.S. I don't feel that I should backport e11411b52 myself, but I can do that
     if author/maintainers are too busy. Please, let me know in that case.
     Regarding 16.11, to backport e11411b52 you only need to change the
     destination file,because related code placed in
     lib/librte_vhost/virtio_net.c instead of lib/librte_vhost/vhost.h.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
