patch 'doc: add kernel options required for mlx5' has been queued to stable release 24.11.3

[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/18205cff93d374981b60976d0abba9f49207f24a

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] doc: add kernel options required for mlx5
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

[ upstream commit 3101799fce0016061ff7aa9c3c2ad7155aff1073 ]

On some kernels (Debian 6.6, 6.9 and 6.10 tested),
there is a missing option for "TC recirculation"
that prevents MLX5 driver to include CONFIG_MLX5_CLS_ACT
in the compilation, thus preventing PF1
from properly working in multiport-eswitch mode.

Fixes: 11c73de9ef63 ("net/mlx5: probe multi-port E-Switch device")
