[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/4] net/virtio: Tx simple path removal and offload improvements

In this v3, the main change is the removal of the Tx simple path.
Indeed, this path is not compliant with the Virtio specification,
so could cause problems with some host implementations.

Since Marvin has introduced the in-order path, we have a good
replacement for simple Tx and so we think it is better to
remove it than disabling it by defaul

Maxime Coquelin (4):
  net/virtio: remove simple Tx path
  net/virtio: improve Tx offload features negotiation
  net/virtio: don't use simple Rx if TCP LRO or VLAN strip
  net/virtio: improve offload check performance
