Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 1/1] vdpa/mlx5: fix feature negotiation across device reset

Hi Michael,

This patch already got reviewed, though not sure why it was not picked
yet. We've been running into this issue quite a lot recently, the
typical symptom of which is that invalid checksum on TCP or UDP header
sent by vdpa is causing silent packet drops on the peer host. Only
ICMP traffic can get through. Would you please merge it at your
earliest convenience?

Thanks,
-Siwei
