The CI did report this failure on the original series.
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2021-August/210297.html
This series should not have been merged but it was on 08/29:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/0935a75ef4334a4c9af65ecb6adac33f@intel.com/

I am not sure when it got into next-net.

A revert was proposed before next-net pull in main on 09/07:
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210907064537.74596-1-wenjun1.wu@intel.com/

Note, at this point, I had not noticed the original patch had
triggered a regression.
This revert was then deemed not appropriate and in the end the
original series hit the main branch.
