patch 'net/hinic: fix mutexes for multi-process' has been queued to stable release 25.11.3

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/27/26. 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/d6f7d196d2c789d9e10c86ed5db6e593512911c4

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/hinic: fix mutexes for multi-process

[ upstream commit 4a0cb075206c80559c12726fa5a61a670fbe92a3 ]

The hinic driver supports secondary processes. Mutexes in structures
allocated in shared memory must be initialized with
PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED. All callers of hinic_mutex_init() pass NULL
as the attribute argument, so route it through the EAL helper and
drop the unused parameter handling.

Bugzilla ID: 662
Fixes: ae865766b334 ("net/hinic: replace spinlock with mutex")
