Hello Ferruh,

[:snip:]

Hi Gregory,

The were some questions around testpmd part of this patch in previous
version, they are not answered and this version is dropping the testpmd
part.

The tunnel offload API allows application to place tunnel offload elements at any valid location in a flow rule. 
Current testpmd code places tunnel offload items
at the beginning of pattern array and tunnel offload actions at the beginning of actions array.
The testpmd patch in v1 & v2 changed location of tunnel offload elements in a flow rule.

Is it safe to remove the testpmd part? If so why was the changes for at first
place?

That patch was not a fix - it emphasized general usage of the tunnel offload API.
Current testpmd code works fine.

And can you please reply to the questions on the testpmd patch for the
record?

I'll add my replies.

Thanks,
Ferruh

Regards,
Gregory
