Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/7] netdev: introduce new NETIF_F_HW_SWITCH_OFFLOAD feature flag for switch device offloads
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 22:40:11 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1422600017-42393-2-git-send-email-roopa@cumulusnetworks.com> (raw)
From: Roopa Prabhu <roopa@cumulusnetworks.com>
This is a high level feature flag for all switch asic offloads
switch drivers set this flag on switch ports. Logical devices like
bridge, bonds, vxlans can inherit this flag from their slaves/ports.
The patch also adds the flag to NETIF_F_ONE_FOR_ALL, so that it gets
propagated to the upperdevices (bridges and bonds).
