Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 05/15/22. 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/28ecf49a60347951323c3e7e2246b63bcc2320a8

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] examples/l2fwd-crypto: fix stats refresh rate

[ upstream commit af676be9e6671b25c69af2aa5fc2d40d562137f6 ]

TIMER_MILLISECOND is defined as the number of cpu cycles per millisecond,
current definition is correct for cores with frequency of 2GHZ, for cores
with different frequency, it caused different periods between refresh,
(i.e. the definition is about 14ms on ARM cores).
The devarg that stated the period between stats print was not used,
instead, it was always defaulted to 10 seconds (on 2GHZ core).

Use DPDK API to get CPU frequency, to define TIMER_MILLISECOND.
Use the refresh period devarg instead of defaulting to 10s always.

Fixes: 387259bd6c67 ("examples/l2fwd-crypto: add sample application")
