[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/ixgbe: fix TDH register write' has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/08/18. 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. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: fix TDH register write

[ upstream commit ff30a020bb400f04bf64a91416993862f45f9ada ]

The only time that software should write to the TDH register
is after a reset (hardware reset or CTRL.RST) and
before enabling the transmit function (TXDCTL.ENABLE).
If software were to write to this register while the transmit
function was enabled, the on-chip descriptor buffers might
be invalidated and the hardware could become confused.

Fixes: 029fd06d40fa ("ixgbe: queue start and stop")
