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/84da56317cb6e5dda4015c6677155d5bfc76adae

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/octeon_ep: increase mailbox timeout

[ upstream commit e90979eebbea093f6bab2d7c222fc5f5c9a85eff ]

Extend the mailbox timeout to 2500 ms in the driver
to ensure firmware responses are received, preventing premature
timeouts in mailbox request handling. This improves reliability
of control network APIs, addressing issues where the previous
timeout was too short for consistent operation.

Fixes: c836a7ba33ee ("net/octeon_ep: support mailbox between VF and PF")
