Description

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following. If you disagree, please vote No. If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain. I move that: The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue: VIRTIO-123: VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID missing in spec -------------------------------------- VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID is not documented. May need to document it in the spec, non GRO traffic could benefit from this -------------------------------------- The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification: -------------------------------------- http://mid.gmane.org/1431323995-27467-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com [PATCH v2] network device: xmit/receive cleanup Fix up multiple issues in xmit/receive sections: - drop MAY/MUST/SHOULD outside normative statements - spell out conformance requirements for both drivers and devices, for xmit and receive paths - document the missing VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID - document handling of unrecognized flag bits so we can extend flags in the future, similar to VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID -------------------------------------- The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio 1.0 cs03", and future versions of the specification. -------------------------------------- Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the close of the second ballot missed. --------------------------------------
