patch 'net/sfc: enforce fate action in transfer flow rules' has been queued to stable release 21.11.4

[Kevin Traynor]

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:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/08f5c42a98dcaf2a73cfca4f2353f5d86c8fb050

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/sfc: enforce fate action in transfer flow rules

[ upstream commit 3b8e8f046b6754dfa7157675699ea0f5c65bba36 ]

According to DPDK documentation, not specifying a
fate action in a flow rule results in undefined
behaviour. Define right behaviour in the driver.

Fixes: 0839236d0391 ("net/sfc: support flow action drop in transfer rules")
