[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/sfc: add missing Rx descriptor status callback

[Andrew Rybchenko]

Thomas, Ferruh,

I've found out that the following patch is deferred in patchwork:
https://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/40455/

It is critical under certain conditions since fix application crash.
The patch is net/sfc local and just few lines - absolutely harmless.
The only potential DPDK-wide effect is build, but the patch is really
trivial and it is hard to imagine how it could affect the build.
I'd like it to be included in 18.05, if possible.

I understand that 18.05 is really very-very late already and it
could be too late even for such patch. Just would like to
double-check it.

Thanks,
Andrew.
