I disagree. A LAG is one type of netdev that a DSA port can offload. The other one is the DSA port's own netdev, i.e. what we have had since time immemorial. dsa_port_offloads_netdev(dp, dev)?That is better.
...but there is an even better one?
But a comment explaining what the function does might be useful.
This is the function body: /* Switchdev offloading can be configured on: */ if (dev == dp->slave) /* DSA ports directly connected to a bridge. */ return true; if (dp->lag && dev == dp->lag->dev) /* DSA ports connected to a bridge via a LAG */ return true; return false; What more is there to explain? Is it the style? Do you prefer initial block comments over explaining the individual statements? Is the lanuage not up to standard? I am sorry for the tone, I am aware of it. It is just that I really want to contributem but I am starting to feel like a tty-over-email-proxy to my emacs session - and an extremely unreliable one at that.
