Hi Greg,

Thanks a lot for sharing the info.
Ben clarified that it should be ok if this new stuff is used only in the
DPDK datapath and it’s not used in the kernel datapath.

Thanks
Rohith

    You need to submit changes to openvswitch.h to the Linux network mail list.
    
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
    
    After acceptance upstream we can then pull in the change.
    
    And this might help as well.

    Thanks,
