Subject: Re: [PATCH] xfrm: add SA information to the offloaded packet

Hi Leon,

I'm currently reading the mlx5e_xmit() function to understand the MLX5
datapath. I'm particularly interested in understanding how packet
offload mode functions.

Could you please clarify if CONFIG_MLX5_EN_IPSEC needs to be defined
when MLX5 employs packet offload mode? Additionally, are there any
specific flags associated with packet offload that I should be mindful
of?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Feng
