This capability is reported when supported by the current emitting
sub-device. Failsafe PMD itself does not excercise fast free logic.
I think overlay device capability reporting already discussed a few times, the
question is if an overlay devices should claim a feature when it depends on
underlay devices?
The capability may be reported by the failsafe since it is transparent from
fast free logic point of view.
Why it is transparent? If one of the underlying device doesn't support/claim
this feature, application can't use this feature with failsafe, isn't it?
tx_offload_capa in failsafe is a mask to apply on sub-device capabilities.
So, if the capability is not supported by any sub-device it will not be
reported.
As well if there is the capability bit in the mask, it will not be
reported regardless
sub-devices capabilities. The description for the patch above tries to
explain it -
it looks like not that successful.
Given that no ack/review given to the patch, I am updating it as rejected.
Is it a new policy? I thought that it was vice versa before.
Hi Andrew,
Yes policy is other-way around indeed, when there is no comment at all default
behavior is accept, but please take above paragraph as my comment to the patch.
Got it.
And I was thinking it is a little controversial and there is no support to have
it, so lets don't get it. What do you think?
I see you motivation.
