[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1] net/i40e: perform basic validation on the VF messages

[Varghese, Vipin]

Hi,

Thanks Kevin for redirecting to the maintainer. Appreciate the help.

Thanks Qi Z Zhang for the update. But the reason for request is because I did not find the update in patches for 'release notes, faq or i40e' documentation. Hence, I was forced to assume this is known bug.

Will wait to see an update on either release notes, faq or i40e documentation. 

Thanks
Vipin Varghese
