Acked-by: Ferruh Yigit <ferruh.yi...@intel.com> As mentioned in prev version, getting only this patch breaks the applications because of existing checks in the PMDs. Hi Wei, If you have bandwidth, can you update PMDs to remove their existing offload checks in this patch? PMDs needs to be updated for: 1- Remove existing offload verify checks 2- Update offload configure logic based on new values (1) can be part of this patch. But PMD maintainers should send update for (2) if a change required.
