Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: return ready when at least 1 vring is	configured
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 13:54:34 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BL0PR11MB3043AF521459BD3DB23B9414B8320@BL0PR11MB3043.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <24b547af-2cda-36db-cb66-e5523d169556@redhat.com>

Hi Maxime,

Vhost-crypto has exactly the same issue. Changpeng's patch fixed it.
Could you give me a shout when your patch is out, so I can have a test?

Regards,
Fan
