Could you detail which flag was missing?
Is it PKT_TX_TUNNEL_MASK?
If yes, shouldn't we have a "Fixes:" line?

I think most of the patchset should be merged in one patch, because
changing only the mbuf part (PKT_TX_OFFLOAD_MASK) would break the
drivers that checks the offload bits at init, and this is not suitable,
especially if we want to be able to do git bisect.


My suggestion is to have:

1- fix i40 (add missing tunnel mask?)
2- fix missing MACSET in TX_OFFLOAD_MASK
3- change TX_OFFLOAD_MASK to include all flags (this impacts all
   drivers using TX_OFFLOAD_MASK)
