Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next v5 0/9] Device memory TCP TX
Hi Mina
I'd like to test this series of patches because these changes are
network-related. But there was some conflict when I tried to apply this
feature. Could you please help review it.
The latest commit id which I tested is following:
# git log
commit d082ecbc71e9e0bf49883ee4afd435a77a5101b6 (HEAD -> master, tag:
v6.14-rc4, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
Date: Sun Feb 23 12:32:57 2025 -0800
Linux 6.14-rc4
About conflict content please review attachment.
Thanks
Lei
