Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_lpm: use field access instead of type conversion.
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 03:42:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CY1PR0301MB0684FB5B73DB77803ECB408C86230@CY1PR0301MB0684.namprd03.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi,

Needs more consideration.

RTE_LPM_VALID_EXT_ENTRY_BITMASK is defined as 0x0030, also little endian assumed.
Seems like the struct bit field also need some position conversion.

I would like to send v2 patch to fix that.

Thanks,
Shi Xuelin
