patch 'test/pcapng: skip test if null driver missing' 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/f1bf21146371bbd395ba1f3ae00778dd6b97476e

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] test/pcapng: skip test if null driver missing

[ upstream commit 86641ef2845b59a0ecd8cf367ee326f76e74fddc ]

The pcapng test requires the net_null driver to create a virtual
device. If the null driver is excluded from the build, the test
fails with:

 RTE>>pcapng_autotest
  + ------------------------------------------------------- +
  + Test Suite : Test Pcapng Unit Test Suite
 Failed to create vdev 'net_null0'

Add net_null to the meson build dependency list for the test so
that it is automatically skipped when the driver is not available.

Fixes: 0c614a0fa6c6 ("test/pcapng: cleanup")
