[dpdk-stable] patch 'mem: check for memfd support in segment fd API' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.1

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 01/11/19. 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. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] mem: check for memfd support in segment fd API

[ upstream commit d75eea314504834d18a94835ad858e3ecd0f8e41 ]

If memfd support was not compiled, or hugepage memfd support
is not available at runtime, the API will now return proper
error code, indicating that this API is unsupported. This
changes the API, so document the changes.

Fixes: 41dbdb68723b ("mem: add external API to retrieve page fd")
Fixes: 3a44687139eb ("mem: allow querying offset into segment fd")
