Hi all,

I'm doing an unexpected stable release, which is expected to be 
released in about two months. The reason I'm doing it is there is an 
import bug fix commit that is needed for OVS 2.8 release. The fix is a 
vhost-user commit comes from me. Well, unfortunately, I'm also the 
author of the original bug :/

So I'm doing an urgent release. That also means we will have another
17.05 release (17.05.2) shortly after v17.08 is out.

And here is a list of patches targeted for this release. Please help 
review and test. The planned date for the final release is 30, June.
Before that, please shout if anyone has objections.

These patches are located at branch 17.05 of dpdk-stable repo:
   http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/

Hi Yuanhan,

Thanks for making this release available ahead of schedule - it puts OvS in a good position to upgrade the supported version of DPDK in OvS v2.8.0 (due ~mid-August).

I can confirm that the OvS team has performed selective validation on the following DPDK-dependent OvS features:
	- Jumbo frames
	- vhost NUMA (broken in 17.05 release)
	- Rate Limiting
	- QoS
	- VxLAN tunneling
	- Rx checksum offload
	- Flow control
	- Addition/deletion of vdevs

As such, we're happy to proceed with the 17.05.1 release.

Thanks once again,
Mark

Thanks.
