please help backporting some patches to stable release 23.11.6

[Shani Peretz]

Hi there,

Apologize for the inconvenience, but my previous email didn't include stable at dpdk.org in the CC list so your replies didn't reach there. If you don't mind, please resend your reply to this email.
Thank you and sorry.

Best regards, 
Shani

> Can authors check your patches in the following list and either:
>     - Backport your patches to the 23.11 branch, or
>     - Indicate that the patch should not be backported
> 
> Please do either of the above by 12/28/25.

> You can find the a temporary work-in-progress branch of the coming 23.11.6

> It is recommended to backport on top of that to minimize further conflicts or
> misunderstandings.

> Some notes on stable backports:
> 
> A backport should contain a reference to the DPDK main branch commit in it's
> commit message in the following fashion:
>     [ upstream commit <commit's dpdk main branch SHA-1 checksum> ]
> 
> For example:
>     https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-
> stable/commit/?h=18.11&id=d90e6ae6f936ecdc2fd3811ff9f26aec7f3c06eb
> 
> When sending the backported patch, please indicate the target branch in the
> subject line, as we have multiple branches, for example:
>     [PATCH 23.11] foo/bar: fix baz
> 
> With git format-patch, this can be achieved by appending the parameter:
>     --subject-prefix='PATCH 23.11'
> 
> Send the backported patch to "stable at dpdk.org" but not "dev at dpdk.org".
> 
> FYI, branch 23.11 is located at tree:
>    https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable

> Thanks.
