doc/guides: Mention needed kernel option for mlx5 multiport e-switch
Checks
Commit Message
On some kernels (Debian 6.6, 6.9 and 6.10 tested),
there is a missing option for "TC recirculation"
that prevents MLX5 driver to include CONFIG_MLX5_CLS_ACT
in the compilation, thus preventing PF1
from properly working in multiport-eswitch mode.

Hi,
Thank you very much for the patch.
Could you please regenerate the patch and resend?
CI job for checking patches fails, because it seems that patch is corrupted: http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2025-January/844526.html
It appears that spaces are missing at the beginning of diff lines.
Also name in "From" does not match the "Signed-off-by" tag.

Could you please add the following line here?
Fixes: 11c73de9ef63 ("net/mlx5: probe multi-port E-Switch device")
This would allow us to pick up this patch for next LTS releases.

Could you also include CONFIG_MLX5_CLS_ACT option in this line?
