Do we really want upstream DPDK trying to track every vendor kernel compatibility wart?
Should Redhat be owning this in their own DPDK package?

If I look at the first few lines of ../lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/compat.h,
it appears that tracking changes in RHEL and SLES is certainly part of the
purpose of this file:

      1 /*
      2  * Minimal wrappers to allow compiling kni on older kernels.
      3  */
      4 
      5 #include <linux/version.h>
      6 
      7 #ifndef RHEL_RELEASE_VERSION
      8 #define RHEL_RELEASE_VERSION(a, b) (((a) << 8) + (b))
      9 #endif
     10 
     11 /* SuSE version macro is the same as Linux kernel version */
     12 #ifndef SLE_VERSION
     13 #define SLE_VERSION(a, b, c) KERNEL_VERSION(a, b, c)
     14 #endif
     15 #ifdef CONFIG_SUSE_KERNEL

If you want to remove the vendor dependency, I'd suggest the following actions:

1) Submit a patch to remove the RHEL- and SLES-specific code.
2) Disable KNI by default in the build system.

                                              - Lee

(Not tested on RHEL 7.5 but code looks good)

Following patch title can be used for compatibility with old commits:
"kni: fix build on RHEL 7.5"

Any chance we pick these patches in stable branches so that
we can build them with RHEL 7.5 without disabling KNI?

I think it should apply cleanly on all of them, but I can send the
backport patches for each of them if necessary.

Thanks,
Maxime

Sure, I can have a look early next week for 16.11.
