Kevin,
Thanks for your work on openvswitch.
Unfortunately, this patch fails when applied to the master branch. I didn't see a 'From:' sha id so I don't know which commit to base this series upon.
Here's the error:
Applying: dpif-netdev: Count the rxq processing cycles for an rxq.
Applying patch #796309 using 'git am'
Description: [ovs-dev,v3,4/6] dpif-netdev: Change rxq_scheduling to use rxq processing cycles.
Applying: dpif-netdev: Change rxq_scheduling to use rxq processing cycles.
error: patch failed: lib/dpif-netdev.c:3306
error: lib/dpif-netdev.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 dpif-netdev: Change rxq_scheduling to use rxq processing cycles.
I guess we need the series to be rebased.
Thanks,
