Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/21/26. 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/d316fe3610b760dc86d23bd2b491b954099206c5

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

[ upstream commit 29380c93e6d928b5991f1dc4bde181cea452a8a2 ]

The packet-filter-mode flag was removed in a previous commit. Remove
references to it in the documentation.
