Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/21/23. 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/981460d10107103b0fa2d6b858ecaa0ae45184fc

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] common/mlx5: fix controller index parsing

[ upstream commit 3cd5e500b5cb1b72ee182be4043018f22a5f8a3b ]

When probing the Linux kernel network interfaces attached to E-Switch,
mlx5 PMD decides the representor type and represented entity
using phys_port_name exposed by the mlx5 kernel driver in sysfs.
mlx5 PMD first checks this name for multihost controller index.
In multihost scenarios, phys_port_name is prefixed with "c[0-9]+" string.
Included integer is the controller index.

Assuming that phys_port_name contains a string representing a physical
port, i.e. "p[0-9]+" string, the parsing logic is incorrect.
Both "p[0-9]+" and "c[0-9]+" match the formatting string used to parse
phys_port_name, but controller index is still filled out.

This patch fixes this behavior by storing the parsed index
in a temporary variable and setting controller index
if and only if phys_port_name matches multihost controller syntax.

Fixes: 59df97f1a832 ("common/mlx5: support sub-function representor parsing")
