Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 05/09/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] mbuf: fix Tx checksum offload API doc

[ upstream commit f00dcb7b0a74928b8b846f73b37386d7b1bb4869 ]

When introducing rte_eth_tx_prepare(), the constraints on checksum
pre-filling for Tx offloads were relaxed because implemented in
the PMDs with rte_net_intel_cksum_flags_prepare() helper.
As a consequence, these old requirements are removed for:
	- PKT_TX_OUTER_IP_CKSUM
	- PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM
	- PKT_TX_[L4]_CKSUM
	- PKT_TX_TCP_SEG

Not sure SCTP offload is properly implemented though.

A reference to rte_eth_tx_prepare() is added in rte_eth_tx_burst() doc.

Fixes: 609dd68ef14f ("mbuf: enhance the API documentation of offload flags")
Fixes: 4fb7e803eb1a ("ethdev: add Tx preparation")
