Hi Hemant,

This RFC is waiting in patchwork for a while, is there plan to send a v1? I will
mark patchset as RFC in patchwork.

As far as I can follow latest patchset status is:

provide initial value and add capability to change
1/5: MAC address
2/5: promisc mode
3/5: MTU

There is a change request for 1/5, other two looks OK.
But for all three the action done in kni_ops, which means application needs to
implement these features.
Not sure about pushing these common tasks to application, instead of all
applications implement same thing, does it make sense to implement them in kni
library?

4/5: add gso_size info
Nak because it uses mbuf field with another meaning

5/5: Add cleanup fix for multi process
Multi process support is not supported in KNI at first place, if there is a need
first it needs to be introduced and tested.


Thanks,
ferruh
