+From a1412e05caa2678757156d4de2755ab5140ecc24 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] net/virtio: fix variable assignment in helper macro
+
+Inside Macro ASSIGN_UNLESS_EQUAL(var, val), assignment to var is always
+failing as assignment done using var_ having local scope only.
+This leads to TX packets not going out and found broken due to cleanup
+malfunctioning. This patch fixes the wrong variable assignment.
+
+Fixes: 57f90f894588 ("net/virtio: reuse packed ring functions")
+Cc: stable@dpdk.org
