> Why do you call all of these offloads the "slowpath"? We term by 'slowpath' all the non {data,fast}path configurations, I.e., everything that doesn't really involves the ingress/egress handling of packets but rather the infrastructure changes surrounding it.
That exactly what we have in this patch - adding the ndo hooks necessary for configuring the FW/HW in the proper mode to support vxlan tunnels. Only the last patch in the series is actually adding the fastpath stuff.
