[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.4

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/13/23. 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://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=22.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=22.11-staging&id=434c2fc890a90c807909bc7271646fa5e26017be

Thanks.
