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/30b5a4b8889977dc4adf1f5bd906a530634f0db4

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] efd: fix uninitialized structure

[ upstream commit ecda2c40ac549f2ebd1e8be6bf0a96c4aba6bf36 ]

Coverity flags that both elements of efd_online_group_entry
are used uninitialized. This is OK because this structure
is initially used for starting values, so any value is OK.

Coverity ID: 375868
Fixes: 56b6ef874f80 ("efd: new Elastic Flow Distributor library")
