Please, would it be possible to split this patch,
and add explanations in each patch for each feature or cleanup?

Thank you

Hey Thomas,

Thanks for taking a look.
My intentions is to port some of the new features on top of this patch (flow steering, ESP RSS – preparing the patches right now) which we are using inhouse to DPDK, however for that I require to upgrade definitions.
The ownership of this definitions is VMware’s ESX team, my main goal was to keep the definitions identical to most recent ESX’s, for correctness and ease of maintenance later on, instead of just adding bits and pieces.

Does that sound good or should I follow a different approach?

Thanks for the help,
Edu

PS. I mistakenly pushed this with private email address, I’ll change to vmware’s domain one next iteration.

Please, would it be possible to split this patch,
and add explanations in each patch for each feature or cleanup?

Thank you

Hey Thomas,

Thanks for taking a look.
My intentions is to port some of the new features on top of this patch (flow steering, ESP RSS – preparing the patches right now) which we are using inhouse to DPDK, however for that I require to upgrade definitions.
The ownership of this definitions is VMware’s ESX team, my main goal was to keep the definitions identical to most recent ESX’s, for correctness and ease of maintenance later on, instead of just adding bits and pieces.

Does that sound good or should I follow a different approach?

Thanks for the help,
Edu

PS. I mistakenly pushed this with private email address, I’ll change to vmware’s domain one next iteration.

I understand, but still we need to have a good history of the changes
with some explanations of the "what" and "why".
Please communicate with the team authoring the changes to get
the explanations and do a proper split.

Thanks
