Subject: [dpdk-stable] [Last Call] please help backporting some patches to LTS release 17.11.5

Hi commit authors (and maintainers),

I planned to announce 17.11.5-rc2 today as no more patch/backport is seen on the stable mailing list, but some people requested me to send out one more backport request email for the last time. I have sent out backport request emails two times and the attached list here is the remaining patches which I couldn't manage to backport or the author had no response about yet.

I'll release 17.11.5-rc2 early next week. Please review the list and take one of actions soon - a) say it's not needed for 17.11 LTS or b) send a backport like described below.

FYI, branch 17.11 is located at tree:
   git://dpdk.org/dpdk-stable

It'd be great if you could do that in one or two weeks. Also, please add a heading line like below before the commit log body:
    [ backported from upstream commit xxx ]

Example: http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=16.07&id=c4831394c7d1944d8ec27d52c22997f20d19718e

Also please mention the target LTS in the subject line, as we have more than one at the same time, for example:

    [PATCH 17.11] foo/bar: fix baz

With git send-email, this can be achieved by appending the parameter:

    --subject-prefix='17.11'

Please let me know if you have any comments, say, need more time, or it's worthless to packport it. And please send it to "stable@dpdk.org", but not "dev@dpdk.org".

Thanks.

Yongseok
