Hi Hadar,

I started to dig through these patches and the last series here,

   Re: [PATCH net-next 00/13] Mellanox 100G SRIOV offloads tunnel_key
set/release

Can you explain how these two are related? I'm guessing in that first
series the actual redirect action to a tunnel device was being ignore?

Does this series clean up that bit of software/hardware alignment.

Thanks,
John
