Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] kni: fix possible deadlock
Date: Thu,  7 Apr 2016 16:55:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460044517-6871-1-git-send-email-ferruh.yigit@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <57066FC5.6000900@intel.com>

netif_rx() should be used in interrupt context. Replace it with
netif_rx_ni() which is safe to use in process context.
