Subject: Re: [dpdk-stable] [PATCH 20.11 0/2] support both PIO and MMIO BAR for legacy virito device
Date: Sun, 20 Jun 2021 15:02:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DM4PR12MB5373A2ABF3069C307B2728FCA10B9@DM4PR12MB5373.namprd12.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi Huawei,

Thanks for the backport! Here is the backport policy:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/contributing/stable.html#what-changes-should-be-backported

The patch set is small enough, but it changed the public PCI component, a little risky IMHO.

BTW, the patch subject seems different than upstream version, why not use upstream patch?
We are expecting a line of "[ upstream commit <id> ] at begging of path commit log.

Best Regards,
Xueming
