Hi Luca,

The patch e0f92e31f7 is not required to be backported to 24.11. There has
changes in that part of code that will not allow simple merge of this fix.
This fix is not critical to be ported to older version as it is fixing
stats counters in a specific scenario.

Thanks,
Kishore

Hi commit authors (and maintainers),

Despite being selected by the DPDK maintenance tool
./devtools/git-log-fixes.sh I didn't apply following commits from DPDK
main to 24.11 stable branch, as conflicts or build errors occur.

Can authors check your patches in the following list and either:
- Backport your patches to the 24.11 branch, or
- Indicate that the patch should not be backported

Please do either of the above by 02/27/26.

You can find the a temporary work-in-progress branch of the coming 24.11.5
release at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable
It is recommended to backport on top of that to minimize further conflicts
or misunderstandings.

Some notes on stable backports:

A backport should contain a reference to the DPDK main branch commit in
it's commit message in the following fashion:
[ upstream commit <commit's dpdk main branch SHA-1 checksum> ]

For example:

https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=18.11&id=d90e6ae6f936ecdc2fd381
1ff9f26aec7f3c06eb

When sending the backported patch, please indicate the target branch in
the subject line, as we have multiple branches, for example:
[PATCH 24.11] foo/bar: fix baz

With git format-patch, this can be achieved by appending the parameter:
--subject-prefix='PATCH 24.11'

Send the backported patch to "stable@dpdk.org" but not "dev@dpdk.org".

FYI, branch 24.11 is located at tree:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi
