[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] add flag to disable CRC checksum offloading

[Paul Emmerich]

This patch adds a new tx checksum offloading flag: PKT_TX_NO_CRC_CSUM.
This allows disabling CRC checksum offloading on a per-packet basis.
Doing this can be useful if you want to send out invalid packets on
purpose, e.g. in a packet generator/test framework.

Maintainers,

Any comments or ack on the patchset. [The first patch is missing the "mbuf"
prefix as it's a patch to that library.]

The patch does not apply properly. It seems you've done it on a version
that is more than 6 months old. Could you please rebase it?

My second question concerns the behavior of this flag when it is not
supported by the driver. Shouldn't we have a feature flag saying "this
driver supports CRC stripping"?

Also, I think "PKT_TX_STRIP_CRC" would be a better name.
