[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/ixgbe: remove redundant MAC flag check' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.11

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.11

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/27/20. 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.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/671fa14c8e11280a0fedaf238051bf209cd7f141

Thanks.

Kevin.

Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: remove redundant MAC flag check

[ upstream commit 5db5d3b72e7cd5c6c986ef72924eb9069c842063 ]

The flag of RTE_ETHTYPE_FLAGS_MAC has been checked twice, so remove the
first error message "Not supported by ethertype filter" which is not so
specific, and keep the error message "mac compare is unsupported" which
aligns to the definition of RTE_ETHTYPE_FLAGS_MAC.

Fixes: eb3539fc8550 ("net/ixgbe: parse ethertype filter")
