Hi Srinivas:

This is the fix for PF driver only, for VF we have a separated fix and it is not be captured in 20.11.3, but I saw the patches are already merged in stable tree.
You can try with latest 20.11.4-rc1,   or wait for 20.11.4 LTS.

Regards
Qi

Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/ice: fix wrong data path selection in secondary process

Hi,

Is this tested on VFs? I saw crash on both PF as well as VF, on 20.11.1, but did not see PF crash on 20.11.3,
I'm seeing a crash on the secondary process when it receives packet on the VF, but PF doesn't crash now on 20.11.3

So I suspect this is the patch which is fixing the issue on ICE secondary process crash on PF.

Thanks & Regards,
Navin Srinivas
