[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/e1000: do not error out if Rx drop enable is set' has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5

[Yongseok Koh <yskoh@mellanox.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/01/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Yongseok

Subject: [PATCH] net/e1000: do not error out if Rx drop enable is set

[ upstream commit d7812ffd83588c724d2f291f2030c9994f9d1113 ]

rx_drop_en is an optimization that does nothing on single-queue
devices like e1000. Do not force applications that do not care to
select per-devices optimizations flags by returning an error, just
log it and carry on.

Fixes: 805803445a02 ("e1000: support EM devices (also known as e1000/e1000e)")
