This patchset applies on 17.11.3.

Similar changes will be submitted to main DPDK branch soon.

In patchwork, I mark this patchset as Deferred,
waiting a new version for 18.11.

Hi Thomas,

Why deferred? This patch is only to be applied to 17.11.3. Because the
changes the memory code has gone through the last months, the same fix

will

be different for newer versions.

OK, I can change them to "Not Applicable".

It is not applicable to master but it should for 17.11.3. Adding
stable@dpdk.org to this thread.

The process is to send the patches to stable@dpdk.org with
[PATCH 17.11] in the subject.
Then it must decided of accepting the exception or not.

I'm working on it but waiting all the current patches from Anatoly being
accepted for creating the final patchset.

Is there still some patches which are not applied?

Uhmm, maybe a patch for 18.11 could be created now. I was thinking about
these ones:

Support externally allocated memory in DPDK
Support running DPDK without hugetlbfs mountpoint

But they are not going to be in 18.11, so I will submit the patch asap, but
I'm afraid it will be for stable 18.11.1
Next three weeks I'm on PTO, so hopefully I can submit the patch early
September.

We are not going to apply them to 18.11.1. It should be in 18.11.0.
If you send them really early September, it can be fine.
