[dpdk-dev] Question about patchset order.

[Kobylinski, MichalX]

Hi Thomas,
I sent in January a patch-set that extends to 24 bits a next_hop field in lpm library:
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/10249/
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/10250/

also Jerin Jakob sent his patch-set with ARM architecture support in lpm library.
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/10478/
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/10479/
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/10480/

Could you write please, in which order do you prefer to apply these two patch-sets?
This information will be helpful to predict the risk and estimate additional work.

Thanks for bringing up the LPM patches.
I would prefer to follow the advice of Bruce who has well followed
these interactions.

Hi all,

sorry, but I haven't been following the discussion as closely of late as
previously, hence the slow reply.

For what goes first, generally the more complex/bigger patchset should be merged
first, so I think the expansion of the next_hop field should therefore go in
first. Jerin's patches will then need to be rebased on it.
