Subject: [dpdk-dev] RFC - remove Transactional Memory support?
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 09:49:44 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191113094944.1989cdd4@shemminger-XPS-13-9360> (raw)
In response to the new TSX Async Abort vulnerability (TAA); perhaps it would be best to
remove the limited Transactional Memory support in rte_hash.
The feature is not widely used, a potential security soft spot and only supported
on Intel (and broken by design there).
