The easier would be to move the current copy we have in the datapath/ under the include/openvswitch/ directory.

Will reorder > the series and resend V2. - In this series, there are mentions of the removal happening in 2.17, while we are working on 2.18. - That there are still other things to remove in the rhel/ directory, I'll try to send a summary by tomorrow. - We should keep the AF_XDP test and building the kernel should remain, as Ilya suggested. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/20220415214245.18948-7-gvrose8...@gmail.com/#2888008 -- David Marchand _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
