patch 'net/i40e: move filter config to flow create' has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

[Kevin Traynor]

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/284f1f858880566dd70b5c83e967ddc3da7cfb71

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/i40e: move filter config to flow create

[ upstream commit 59acde9b24725d0bc3ad745773749c3b798c7896 ]

Currently, FDIR filter parsing function will modify FDIR state after a
successful match. However, this function is called from both flow create
and flow validate, which results in the driver modifying FDIR state
after a flow validate call. Move the FDIR config to flow create.

Fixes: 2e67a7fbf3ff ("net/i40e: config flow director automatically")
