[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce renaming of mbuf offload flags

[Thomas Monjalon]

> > > The mbuf offload flags do not match the DPDK namespace (they are
> > > not prefixed by RTE_). Announce their rename in 21.11, and the
> > > removal of the old names in 22.11.
> > >
> > > A draft coccinelle script is provided to anticipate what the
> > > renaming will be.

> > > +  A compatibility layer will be kept until DPDK 22.11, except for the flags

> > I think it is better to be explicit with defines to be removed:
> > PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD, PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD, PKT_TX_QINQ_PKT,
> > PKT_RX_EIP_CKSUM_BAD.
