patch 'net/mlx5: fix ineffective metadata argument adjustment' has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/06/22. 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.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/49257a939413b811cd16e693416ce151d42634d3

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix ineffective metadata argument adjustment

[ upstream commit ad9d0c6395abf9793f328f571338fbe6a61f5ebe ]

In "dv_xmeta_en" devarg there is an option of dv_xmeta_en=3 which
engages tunnel offload mode. In E-Switch configuration, that mode
implicitly activates dv_xmeta_en=1.

The update according to E-switch support is done immediately after the
first parsing of the devargs, but there is another adjustment later.

This patch moves the adjustment after the second parsing.

Fixes: 4ec6360de37d ("net/mlx5: implement tunnel offload")
