Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/7] vmxnet3: add support for multi-segment transmit
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 19:35:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D11DEE12.383C5%yongwang@vmware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1424917922-1979-4-git-send-email-stephen@networkplumber.org>

A quick glance over v2 shows that it only made the change for max segment
check.  I am not sure if all the  other comments on v1 of this patch are
missed or ignored?  If it¹s the latter, can you explain your reasoning why
they are not addressed?
