Comment 4 Anten Skrabec 2020-05-05 04:04:56 UTC
Removed OpenStack 7 affects and added missing affects for OpenStack and Fast Datapath. Only openvswitch2.13+ ships dpdk v19.11+.

Comment 7 Mauro Matteo Cascella 2020-05-17 17:50:02 UTC
inflight messages (VHOST_USER_GET_INFLIGHT_FD and VHOST_USER_SET_INFLIGHT_FD) were added in upstream version 19.11 via the following commit:
  -> https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=d87f1a1cb7b666550bb53e39c1d85d9f7b861e6f

Comment 9 RaTasha Tillery-Smith 2020-05-18 15:01:38 UTC
Statement:

The versions of DPDK as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 were not affected by this flaw, as they did not include support for the inflight share memory feature, which was introduced in a later version of the package. This issue did not affect the versions of Ceph as shipped with Red Hat Ceph Storage 3 and 4, as they did not include support for DPDK.
