Re: [PATCH v3 00/36] net/tcp: Add TCP-AO support

Hi David,

Thinking about how to move the TCP-AO intent forward: clearly a 36-patch
set is a bit much. The first 6 patches are prep work, and we know there
is a use case for those.

We could handle patches 3 and 4 as a stand alone set first.

Once merged, deal with the crypto API and users until those maintainers
are good. That would be patches 1, 2, 5 and 6.

Once those are merged it drops down to just networking patches with
selftests. Those can be split into AO (19) and selftests (11) making it
4 total sets of manageable size.

The AO patches can be reviewed until convergence on a good starting point.

Sound reasonable?

That sounds reasonable to me.
I'll submit patches 3 & 4 for review and then, once merged, 1, 2, 5 and
6. And later (re)-base TCP-AO on linux-next.

Thanks,
