please help backporting some patches to stable release 23.11.6

[Shani Peretz]

Hi commit authors (and maintainers),

Despite being selected by the DPDK maintenance tool ./devtools/git-log-fixes.sh
I didn't apply following commits from DPDK main to 23.11
stable branch, as conflicts or build errors occur.

Can authors check your patches in the following list and either:
    - Backport your patches to the 23.11 branch, or
    - Indicate that the patch should not be backported

Please do either of the above by 12/28/25.

You can find the a temporary work-in-progress branch of the coming 23.11.6
release at:
    https://github.com/shanipr/dpdk-stable
It is recommended to backport on top of that to minimize further conflicts or
misunderstandings.

Some notes on stable backports:

A backport should contain a reference to the DPDK main branch commit
in it's commit message in the following fashion:
    [ upstream commit <commit's dpdk main branch SHA-1 checksum> ]

For example:
    https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=18.11&id=d90e6ae6f936ecdc2fd3811ff9f26aec7f3c06eb

When sending the backported patch, please indicate the target branch in the
subject line, as we have multiple branches, for example:
    [PATCH 23.11] foo/bar: fix baz

With git format-patch, this can be achieved by appending the parameter:
    --subject-prefix='PATCH 23.11'

Send the backported patch to "stable@dpdk.org" but not "dev@dpdk.org".

FYI, branch 23.11 is located at tree:
   https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable

Thanks.

Shani

Hi there,

Apologize for the inconvenience, but my previous email didn't include stable@dpdk.org in the CC list so your replies didn't reach there. If you don't mind, please resend your reply to this email.
Thank you and sorry.

Best regards, 
Shani

Hi Shani Peretz,

I'll send patches to backport these two patches.

But these FDIR related patches merge has conflicts because two patches were missed in
release 23.11.5.

Hey Bruce/ Sunil,

I noticed that the patches were dropped from the 24.11 release and wanted to make sure it's okay to drop them from 23.11 as well. 

Thanks,

In those two commits that you sent it appears that the variables:
+	struct txgbe_rx_queue *rxq;
+	uint64_t rx_csum_err = 0;
 
were added in *_dev_xstats_get_() instead of *_dev_xstats_get(). I've fixed this, and now the build is passing successfully.
Could you also please check the following commits to ensure everything is in order?

Hey,

Sorry I missed those patches, I've added them now.
I rebased the patches on top of them, but the patch "net/txgbe: fix FDIR input mask" has some build issues (struct rte_ipv6_hdr was changed, and the patch uses the new fields)
Could you send a fix for 23.11?

Thanks,
Shani

Something strange happened when I applied the patches...
Thanks for the fixes, these two commits are perfect.

The network issue prevented me from pulling the git repo today.
I'm so sorry, I'll do it in a few days, if possible.

The above commit 431bc9c42e should not be backported.
Tx VLAN offload is disabled in the iavf AVX-512 path in
23.11 (see commit efe1b63775e8 net/iavf: fix VLAN insertion
in vector path). Because of this the optimisation in the
proposed backport patch would be to no effect, so I don't
think it should be backported.

Thanks,
Ciara

> b74d638ab9  Bruce Richardson test/func_reentrancy: fix args to EAL init call

Since this is a patch to unit tests only, and hasn't been causing us any issues before, I don't think we need it backported.
