Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/07/26. 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/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/c346a72121b117f951de2dea941bae7f1429ff05

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt/tf_ulp: fix completion metadata type for Thor

[ upstream commit 7606483d37e21a947c0ad73210d42f0e0c3a7cd9 ]

For Thor, the default Rx completion record metadata format
should be set to Type 1 instead of Type 3. Using the incorrect
type causes the driver to misinterpret the completion records.
Thor2 continues to use Type 3.

Fixes: dd0191d5e70d ("net/bnxt/tf_ulp: support Thor2 ULP layer")
