Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce SA config option struct changes

[Anoob Joseph <anoobj@marvell.com>]

Hi Akhil,

There are 2 more items that I would like to add.
- IV gen (in ``rte_security_ipsec_sa_options``)
- SA lifetime configuration (in ``rte_security_ipsec_xform``)

http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1626759974-334-2-git-send-email-anoobj@marvell.com/
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1626759974-334-3-git-send-email-anoobj@marvell.com/

Do you recommend sending separate deprecation notice or can this patch be updated to cover those as well?

Thanks,
Anoob
