patch 'net/ngbe: reduce memory size of ring descriptors' has been queued to stable release 22.11.11

[luca.boccassi at gmail.com]

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/c660b80d3906293812390a644fdcee8363f92c09

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

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

[ upstream commit 22d4fffbbc99ef2a229869e717a12b2e33c68a9c ]

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: 43b7e5ea60ac ("net/ngbe: support Rx queue setup/release")
