patch 'net/i40e: fix variable shadowing' has been queued to stable release 24.11.5

[luca.boccassi at gmail.com]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/22/26. 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/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/e3f14260cc6b72532faa67454b21361d4d086880

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/i40e: fix variable shadowing

[ upstream commit 7630aa3f5a7da4975d22f4f0e6c80bf895a09489 ]

The local variables defined with the I40E_WRITE_GLB_REG macro are
shadowing other variables. Rename the vars to start with "_" to avoid
this shadowing.

Fixes: 2bedd7277a10 ("net/i40e: print real global changes")
