Hi Kevin, 

I think there is one net/ena patch that was not picked up for the stable release (likely since there are two patches with similar title).
I would appreciate if you could verify.

The missing patch: net/ena: fix wrong handling of checksum
see patchwork https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20240702144626.14545-14-shaibran@amazon.com/

All the best,
Shai Brandes
ENA drivers team

> The issue was fixed in the device, thus the driver bad csum handling should
