Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] doc/linux_gsg: drop reference to KNI
Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2022 12:38:42 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220310123843.612207-8-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220310123843.612207-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
The KNI library is disabled by default in DPDK and is already documented
in the programmers guide and also in the sample application guide. There
are also in-kernel alternatives to it. Therefore, we can drop the
(already fairly minimal) reference to it from the Linux GSG.

-Loading the DPDK KNI Kernel Module
-----------------------------------
-
-To run the DPDK Kernel NIC Interface (KNI) sample application, an extra kernel module (the kni module) must be loaded into the running kernel.
-The module is found in the kernel/linux sub-directory of the DPDK build directory.
-It should be loaded using the insmod command::
-
- insmod <build_dir>/kernel/linux/kni/rte_kni.ko
-
-.. note::
-
- See the "Kernel NIC Interface Sample Application" chapter in the *DPDK Sample Applications User Guide* for more details.
