Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/02/26. 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/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/24795a68ac834bd288343f66673d45e40b175e3e

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] bitops: allow variable as first argument of shift macros
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

[ upstream commit 0340918b0ce86d2b7824e933c555b8819ae0581c ]

Macros RTE_SHIFT_VAL32 and RTE_SHIFT_VAL64 were implemented by applying
UINT32_C or UINT64_C correspondingly to its first argument. As a
consequence first argument had to be a constant. Replace UINT32_C and
UINT64_C with casts to uint32_t and uint64_t to allow these arguments be
variable. For constants the result should be the same.

(Yes, technically UINT64_C promotes to uint_least64_t, not uint64_t, but
I think most users of RTE_SHIFT_VAL64 expect the result to be uint64_t.)

Fixes: 1d8f2285ed3f ("eal: introduce more macros for bit definition")
