We failed to properly review some patches which are now integrated in version 1.8. So you cannot fix it without breaking API. It's a bit sad but your patch fixing the comment is reasonnable. Fixes: 711ba9e23e68 ("mbuf: remove aliasing of Tx offloading flags with Rx ones") Fixes: 1c3b7c33e977 ("mbuf: add Tx offloading flags for tunnels")
