[dpdk-stable] patch 'doc: add missing loopback option in testpmd guide' has been queued to LTS release 18.11.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/14/19. 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.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] doc: add missing loopback option in testpmd guide

[ upstream commit 48670ed6f77adb44e696eb2b97592e25a2889fb6 ]

This patch adds a missing topology "loop" mode for port-topology
option in testpmd guide. The testpmd "loop" option
(PORT_TOPOLOGY_LOOP)  was added to testpmd parameter
port-topology back in 2014, but it seems that it was never added
to the testpmd guide. This patch adds it in the testpmd guide.

Fixes: 3e2006d6186c ("app/testpmd: add loopback topology")
