[dpdk-stable] please help backporting some patches to LTS release 17.11.5

[Yongseok Koh]

Hi, Rasesh
Thank you so much for the note.

For some reason (I don't know yet, still figuring out), there're 37 missing
patches out of 226 patches.  I checked all the patches in the upstream again and
did some comparison by script.

22 patches are cleanly applied but 15 patches are not.
Unfortunately, your patch is one of the failed patches.

I'll send out a notice. Please backport it.


Thanks,
Yongseok
