Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.02.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 05/25/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] mbuf: avoid implicit demotion in 64-bit arithmetic

[ upstream commit ef5092e16b137fd5e23d19b4b17b32f330d4a4ad ]

GCC 8.1 warned:

In function 'rte_validate_tx_offload':
rte_mbuf.h:2112:19: warning: conversion to 'uint64_t'
{aka 'long unsigned int'} from 'int' may change the
sign of the result [-Wsign-conversion]
  inner_l3_offset += m->outer_l2_len + m->outer_l3_len;
                   ^~

  uint64_t inner_l3_offset...

  /* fields for TX offloading of tunnels */
  uint64_t outer_l3_len:9; /**< Outer L3 (IP) Hdr Length. */
  uint64_t outer_l2_len:7; /**< Outer L2 (MAC) Hdr Length. */

We want to do the arithmetic entirely in uint64_t
space, but with the +=, the rhs type becomes int since the
bitfields will fit in int.

Elaborate the artithmetic to be u64 = u64 + int + int, so
the type of the result is correct to be stored in the u64.

Fixes: 4fb7e803eb ("ethdev: add Tx preparation")
