Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/06/22. 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/dd246a2e8f2b6f043999c1b8336a1bbc7ef996f5

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/ena: fix checksum flag for L4

[ upstream commit b2d2f1cf89a6c3661e68b750364e4a7018f954ba ]

Some HW may invalidly set checksum error bit for the valid L4 checksum.
To avoid drop of the packets in that situation, do not indicate bad
checksum for L4 Rx csum offloads. Instead, set it as unknown, so the
application will re-verify this value.

The statistics counters will still work as previously.

Fixes: 05817057faba ("net/ena: fix indication of bad L4 Rx checksums")
