Maxime Coquelin May 5, 2022, 10:27 a.m. UTC
  This patch enables the compliant offloading flags mode by
default, which prevents the Rx path to set Tx offload flags,
which is illegal. A new legacy-ol-flags devarg is introduced
to enable the legacy behaviour.

Putting this check into above '{}' like other option does, will look better.

Actually, it would change the behavior because we want to set the flag
even if legacy devrarg is not passed.

ETH_VHOST_LEGACY_OL_FLAGS should be added into valid_arguments array.

>>>>> This patch enables the compliant offloading flags mode by default,

Thanks, good catch!
I missed to test this new devarg addition, fixing it for v2.
