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/324c398c9157f71b2ef063fe4f88a13d0e7588cd

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

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

[ upstream commit 9ae0429758394c7590fd1f4cade3adf9ef833f75 ]

The loop counter "i" was shadowed, with it being used in a macro and
also as a local variable in the function using that macro. Fix the issue
by making "i" a loop-local variable in all contexts.

Fixes: 76c6f89e80d4 ("ixgbe: support new flow director masks")
Fixes: 2c6b19af78e3 ("ethdev: increase flow type limit from 32 to 64")
