   Follow-up discussions on PktIO Design Doc
   
<https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/document/d/13V2z3x0u3thHFyd7G8EelGgoV0UE2aW4iYIUOnY_Y7A/edit#heading=h.1jjxd4umbh6h>


*Discussion/Decisions on Packets:*

   - Reaffirmed that SCTP is not needed for ODP v1.0.  Routines referencing
   it will be removed from the design docs and the linux-generic code.


   - Consensus was that we want setters for the individual parser inflags.
   They will be added.


   - A single odp_packet_inflag_error() is sufficient for ODP v1.0.  Will
   add to these as needed post-v1.0.


   - odp_packet_parse() still valuable.  Application has choice as to
   whether it wants to use it or set inflags as needed.


   - Consensus is that outflags to control L3/L4 checksumming on a
   per-packet basis is valuable, however they will be considered override
   values, meaning that they only have meaning if the application calls a
   setter for them.  In the absence of setter calls, the checksum offloads
   attributes of the transmitting odp_pktio_t will apply.  No ability to
   control Ethernet FCS is part of ODP v1.0.  This may be revisited post-v1.0.


   - A lot of discussion surrounding the need for APIs to split and join
   packets for things like IP fragment reassembly, LSO, etc.  Bill to propose
   offset-based APIs for further discussion.  Consensus is that very basic
   support is sufficient for ODP v1.0 with more sophisticated protocol-aware
   things best done post v1.0.  Need timely feedback and/or alternate API
   proposals on these from those with opinions on this subject.


   - A lot of discussion surrounding headroom and tailroom and use cases.
   Bill to add additional material to expand on this.  Will also add diagrams
   as they will undoubtedly help.

Unfortunately we consumed the hour on the first agenda item so the rest
need to be covered on the mailing list between now and next call.  Most
urgent need is consensus on Ordered Queue semantics and associated APIs.
Please add your thoughts to the discussion thread referenced above.  We
especially need input from those who are doing implementations on HW that
provides ordering support to ensure the APIs map feasibly to those
platforms.

Thanks.

Bill
