patch 'vhost: fix external buffer in VDUSE' has been queued to stable release 23.11.6

[Shani Peretz]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/30/25. 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/shanipr/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/shanipr/dpdk-stable/commit/c05fb2b9c1b3488938635c12300b58a1bc49831c

Thanks.

Shani

Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix external buffer in VDUSE

[ upstream commit 8ae4f1d511 ]

extbuf and linearbuf features are required for (enhanced) TSO support
in OVS.

VDUSE ports were generating multi-segments mbufs in case of "TSO"
buffers which resulted in OVS generating wrong packets after tunnel
encapsulation.

Enable the missing datapath features.

Fixes: 0adb8eccc6a6 ("vhost: add VDUSE device creation and destruction")
