Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.4

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/28/23. 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://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix Tx queue stats after queue stop and start

[ upstream commit 9bd8998fe09736a048e367e1ef7543dd8b5dfd2c ]

The Tx queue stats are being reported incorrectly due to a workaround
for ring counters sometimes being reported as zero.  When a queue is
stopped and started, the ring counter is reset to zero.  The workaround
interprets the zero as incorrect, and sets the reported ring count as
the previously read value (from before the queue being restared).  This
shows up as negative counters in testpmd's "show fwd stats" command.
The fix clears the prev counter for the queue when the queue is started.

Fixes: 219842b9990c ("net/bnxt: workaround spurious zero stats in Thor")
