First, your commit title and commit message have several problems:
1. Title should be: net/virtio: TITLE_OF_YOUR_COMMIT. As your patch is a
fix patch, your title maybe 'fix XXXX'.
2. Title and description too long, should be less or equal than around 75 chars
per line
3. Seems the link you attached is the bad commit you want to fix. Please use
this way to point it out: add 'Fixes: BAD_COMMIT_ID ("BAD_COMMIT_TITLE")' under
the commit msg.

For all above problems, please see previous git log for reference.

And for the patch content, what is the exact issue you met? I've been told that
the deleted lines were for some CI errors. Besides, better keep the '\' aligned.

Also, please cc to related maintainers in your v2 because otherwise it'll be hard
for them to see your patch.(use get-maintainer.sh to know them)

Thanks!
Chenbo

The title is not right. As I told you,
please put 'Fixes: 57f90f894588 ("net/virtio: reuse packed ring functions")'
between the commit message and your 'Signed-off-by'. Note that the prefix
should be 'Fixes' and the commit id length is 12.

Could you refer to other commit with 'Fixes' to make it right?

Could you tell me what problem you solved? You just describe the result but
not the root cause.

Thanks!
Chenbo

Hi All

I tried twice uploading this same patch but it is still not listed under http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/.
Please let me know if I am missing something and required to do some additional steps to submit my patch.

Thanks to Xia  for reviewing this code!

Vipul

Your patches were hold in the administration queue because of that, I have
released them and cleaned up the patchwork (since there were double of some
versions) and only left one copy of v3, please check if that is the correct one:
