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 10/29/26. 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/7def193a9e0bc09f98043be7e815abbb985d1463

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/ice: fix storing field offset arg

[ upstream commit 9ff9c3144f7c2e70c5e757af483d922d3eb56514 ]

The field offset argument type inside ice driver is of "int" type, but
when parsing and storing the value from a devarg, a uint8_t type is
used, leading to 3 bytes being potentially uninitialized. Fix this by
storing to an int type instead.

Bugzilla ID: 2038
Fixes: df539aaf35cb ("net/ice: refactor flex descriptor protocol field extraction")
