.. but is there a reason you abbreviated those file names like that? It's
not like we live with 8.3 contrainsts.
The first time I parsed it as "of ld", then realiazed it should be "off ld"
and then wondered why it wasn't just "offload" like it is "syncache" or
"timewait" or "hostcache"?
And yes, I wondered the same about the functions names, ...
Was that spelling inherited from another implementation/standard/whatever?
I raised a similar question about function naming -- generally TCP is pretty
good about naming functions tcp_foo, and I'd like it if we used that
convention here also. The prefix ofld, while unlikely to immediately collide,
doesn't follow those conventions.
Per out-of-band discussion which I won't rehash in any detail, I'd also prefer
if this sort of change were discussed on arch@/net@/etc in advance of commit.
For those following this work, Kip has posted the next batch of changes to
arch@ soif people could take this opportunity to review them before they go
in, that would be great :-).
