Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/23/25. 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

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5/hws: fix send queue drain on FW WQE destroy

[ upstream commit 0394577bdc91a25338fd9a61eb2ddfedf09f2800 ]

Queue sync operation was skipped on rule destroy.
Unlike on fw wqe rule create in which both fence and notify_hw
are set to true, on destroy fence was set to false causing
previous queue operation to be stuck in the queue forever.
Example:
   rule_a - HW rule, rule_b - FW WQE rule.
Sequence:
   rule_a destroy, burst=1 (HW rule put to queue but no DB)
   rule_b destroy, burst=0 (FW WQE rule cmd but no queue sync)
Outcome:
   rule_a is stuck forever in the queue - no completion.

Fixes: 338aaf911665 ("net/mlx5/hws: add send FW match STE using gen WQE")
