We need a separate fix for AVF which is ongoing.

And DPDK 20.11.4 LTS by default will only backport all the fix that during DPDK 21.11 dev cycle, so you may need to wait for 20.11.5 or just cherry pick by yourself.

Hi,

Whether this fix is applicable for VF? I do not see this change ported to VF in DPDK-20.11.4. 

Thanks,
