Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 04/16/19. 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.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix sync when handling Tx completions

[ upstream commit fd350d3c9a13b5ebcb41741870c3f09b6920033f ]

Function mlx5_tx_complete() reads completion entry information
from Tx queue.
For some processors not having strongly-ordered memory model,
there has to be a memory barrier between reading the entry index
and the entry fields, in order to guarantee data is valid.

Fixes: 54d3fe948dba ("net/mlx5: poll completion queue once per a call")
