Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v8 1/2] app/testpmd: fix max rx packet length for VLAN packets
Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2020 11:48:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2109640.M41klPuLie@thomas> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2157818.THrHgzhN9o@thomas>

We have a critical issue with testpmd in -rc2.
It is blocking a lot of testing.
Would be good to do a -rc3 today.
Please see below.
