Hi,

We are honored to use dpdk and dpdk-kmod, two outstanding open source softwares. However, according to the company's open source software usage standards, only officially released versions can be introduced as open source software. As far as I know, there is no official release of dpdk-kmod. Can the community release an official version for users?

Thank you for your time.

Yours sincerely

Zengyuan Wang

Hello,

I don't know what should be a release of dpdk-kmod.
When to have a new tag?

About your need for Linux, there is only igb_uio which is considered as deprecated.
It is better replaced with VFIO (note there is a no-iommu option).
Why do you really need igb_uio?
