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/b4036181c6ce2260e32c94a5f90bed0552f6e5ba

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] app/pdump: fix variable shadowing

[ upstream commit da33fbc6f344883b2970556ea34a256d410c92a3 ]

The variable name "optarg" is a standard global variable in getopt, so
use of that name for function parameters causes shadowing warnings.
Rename the variable to avoid these issues.

Fixes: caa7028276b8 ("app/pdump: add tool for packet capturing")
