Hi, while checking for dpdk 16.07 what backports are accepted in the meantime so I can drop them I found this particular discussion has been silently forgotten by all of us.
Back then we had the patch and discussion first in http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/12103/ and then http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/12118/ Things worked fine as I reported and I integrated the patch in our packaging as it fixed a severe issue. Since it was reported by someone else I do not seem to be the only one :-) So today I rebased the patch including my updates I made based on our discussion and I think it would make as much sense as it made back then to fix this.
