It looks like mimecast shot the first patch (which I sent in place of Maxime, because this series should go through the main repo). Looking at the mail source, I see: X-Mimecast-Impersonation-Protect: Policy=CLT - Impersonation Protection Definition;Similar Internal Domain=false;Similar Monitored External Domain=false;Custom External Domain=false;Mimecast External Domain=false;Newly Observed Domain=false;Internal User Name=false;Custom Display Name List=false;Reply-to Address Mismatch=false;Targeted Threat Dictionary=false;Mimecast Threat Dictionary=false;Custom Threat Dictionary=false I don't know how to understand this... But as a result, the series is missing this patch in patchwork. Patch 1 is still available from RFC v1: https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220328121758.26632-2-david.march...@redhat.com/ or via next-virtio. -- David Marchand
