[Intel-wired-lan] [External] Re: [PATCH v2] ixgbe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ixgbe_xdp_setup

Hi Feng and Jason,

Please notice that you are both developing patches that change the ixgbe 
driver in related areas.

Jason's patch:
  Subject: [PATCH v7] ixgbe: let the xdpdrv work with more than 64 cpus
 
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20210901101206.50274-1-kerneljasonxing@gmail.com/

We might need both as this patch looks like a fix to a panic, and 
Jason's patch allows XDP on ixgbe to work on machines with more than 64 
CPUs.
