[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.8

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/28/24. 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

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/1d72c067059e2731649c2458a5820d2093328a7b

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: do not update link status in secondary process

[ upstream commit 5ffd40b85febd2a80b88b4cfbf4e1dd7e5f059c5 ]

The code to update link status is not safe in secondary process.
If called from secondary it will crash, example from dumpcap:
	ixgbe_dev_link_update_share()
	ixgbe_dev_link_update()
	rte_eth_link_get()

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
