[Kevin Traynor]

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

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/e58a17a64a7eede07d9ba4994a7feff0286878a0

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/ngbe: fix MAC control frame forwarding

[ upstream commit 31ae872822cdc89cd00926c3e162781ef927ca24 ]

Test failure on the case "test_pause_fwd_port_stop_start", which expect
MAC control frame forwarding setting still working after port stop/start.
Fix the bug to pass the test case.

Fixes: f40e9f0e2278 ("net/ngbe: support flow control")
