I understand but I think we should prefer cleanup. As there is no way to advertise deprecation of flags, it should be simply removed. > Another reason is not all NIC driver support all the combined modes, only > limited sets > driver supported. Under this condition, it's better to use the combination > definition > (VMDQ_DCB, DCB_RSS, etc) to let driver check whether it supports. Driver can do the same checks with simple flags and it's probably simpler (e.g. a driver which doesn't support VMDQ had no need to check all VMDQ combinations). > > There are only few typos and minor things but it would help to have more > > careful reviews.

I have no problem with listing of reviewers when submitting patches. To say more, I prefer you list them by yourself and you add new reviewers when sending new versions of the patchset. But I would like reviewers to be more careful. They are especially useful to discuss design choices and check typos. Having reviewer give credits to the patch only if we are confident that the review task is generally seriously achieved. -- Thomas
