[dpdk-stable] patch 'doc: add missing loopback option in testpmd guide' has been queued to LTS release 17.11.6

[Yongseok Koh]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objection by 03/13/19. So please
shout if anyone has objection.

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.

Yongseok

Subject: [PATCH] doc: add missing loopback option in testpmd guide

[ upstream commit 48670ed6f77adb44e696eb2b97592e25a2889fb6 ]

This patch adds a missing topology "loop" mode for port-topology
option in testpmd guide. The testpmd "loop" option
(PORT_TOPOLOGY_LOOP)  was added to testpmd parameter
port-topology back in 2014, but it seems that it was never added
to the testpmd guide. This patch adds it in the testpmd guide.

Fixes: 3e2006d6186c ("app/testpmd: add loopback topology")
