Hi Guoyang,

How critical is this set, can you please describe the impact of the fixes?

If they are not critical, let's postpone them to next release, since the release 
is a few days away.

btw, both patches has [1] as a fixed patch, but that patch looks unrelated with 
both, that patch only cleans up the uninit/destroy path.
Can you please elaborate why that patch is fixed?

As far as I can see the condition removed in first patch introduced in v19.08 
([2]) and the calls in second patch added in v19.11 ([3]).



[1]
Fixes: 511b7371d32b ("net/hinic: fix hugepage memory leaks")


[2]
Fixes: 828d3e15a9dc ("net/hinic/base: support context and work queue")

[3]
Fixes: 54ac33869932 ("net/hinic: set link down and up")

Hi Guoyang,

I can see that a v2 has been sent but it is still not clear if you are OK to 
defer the patches, can you please share your thoughts on it?

Thanks,
ferruh

Hi ferruh,

I hope that these two patches can be applied.
Because in that way, the version can be stable.

Thanks,
Guoyang zhou
