Alex,

To clarify, when you say "not support IPv6 checksum for tunnels", you
refer to the offloading of the outer or inner checksum?

Still (me and I think also Tariq from our driver team) catching up on
the series, the primitives and conventions you are introducing using
and how this applies on mlx5. I saw that Saeed acked the the mlx5e
patches (7 and 8).

Specifically, the mlx4 patches are practically fixes so if they don't
land in 4.7 via net-next we can get them there through net, lets give
us the few more days needed to catch up from our side.

Or.
