Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.11

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/14/25. 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/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/2a9e0fee2c790e0be322edf404d141eec6d54251

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/txgbe: reduce memory size of ring descriptors

[ upstream commit 843c59d1c2cef10a75037ebc73460f2ed28f9839 ]

The memory of ring descriptors was allocated in size of the maximum ring
size. It seems not friendly to our hardware on some domestic platforms.
Change it to allocate in size of the real ring size.

Fixes: 226bf98eda87 ("net/txgbe: add Rx and Tx queues setup and release")
