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 08/04/26. 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/290b7fb7d03fb2cc0ebc34df0b6a7d1a4c75829a

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/ice: fix advertising timestamp offload

[ upstream commit b87947ed1918763170306da9b31c383210970920 ]

The SEND_ON_TIMESTAMP TX offload capability was unconditionally
advertised for all ice devices in non-safe mode. However, only E830
hardware supports TxPP (Tx Packet Pacing) via the TXTIME queue
mechanism. E810 and other ice devices correctly reject the offload
at queue setup time (ice_tx_queue_setup checks hw->phy_model), but
advertising the capability misleads applications into thinking the
feature is available.

Gate the SEND_ON_TIMESTAMP capability advertisement on
hw->phy_model == ICE_PHY_E830 so that only devices which actually
support TxPP report the capability.

Fixes: 0b6ff09a1f19 ("net/intel: support Tx packet pacing for E830")
