Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/28/25. 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://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=23.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=23.11-staging&id=b7f8d01c0a435dbd32cd2b711a36eecb9f11f44d

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5/hws: fix send queue drain on FW WQE destroy
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ 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")
