[PATCH 7/7] net/iavf: remove undocumented conditional macros

Bruce Richardson bruce.richardson at intel.com
Mon Aug 31 12:26:20 CEST 2026


The iavf driver included two #defines which enabled the QinQ and
checksum offload in the code. The intent as documented in code comments
was that any user not taking advantage of these features could remove
the #defines to cut out some code. However, this was never actually
publicly documented, and the use of these defines was never tested in
any builds, making them fragile - if not already broken. Therefore, just
remove these build time macros.
