patch 'net/mlx5: fix send skew settings when using wait on time' has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/31/26. 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/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/45054a768207f28f82c4d5e5611ccfdf64704136

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix send skew settings when using wait on time

[ upstream commit cf69152295fa8d777ea0869f3ac33b8e4f11680d ]

There are two modes to support tx send scheduling in mlx5 drivers,
using the Clock Queue and tx_pp parameter, and using the wait_on_time
hardware capability. The tx_skew devarg is applicable for both, but
in case of tx_pp=0 (that supposes wait_on_time mode is engaged
on ConnectX-7 and above), the tx_skew setting was missed (as
mlx5_txpp_create was not invoked).

Fixes: 2f5122dfc41f ("net/mlx5: configure Tx queue with send on time offload")
