Hi Anuradha, Since this is a switch-thingy, can you move this to switchdev port attribute rather than adding another ndo op? I know you started this patch set before switchdev port attrs, but I think it's worthwhile moving it to switchdev since clearly the use-case is switch device drivers. Let me know if you need help converting over to switchdev port attr. Also, is the sysfs interface necessary? The netlink/iproute2 interface seems sufficient. -scott -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
