Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 16.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable
yet. It will be pushed if I get no objections before 04/11/17.
So please shout if anyone has objections.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] kni: fix build with kernel 4.11
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

[ upstream commit d4d2380cbb02980bf0334601d9ce6ec5400413f9 ]
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

compile error:
.../build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_net.c:124:6:
error: implicit declaration of function ‘signal_pending’
[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
  if (signal_pending(current) || ret_val <= 0) {
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Linux 4.11 moves signal function declarations to its own header file:
Linux: 174cd4b1e5fb ("sched/headers: Prepare to move signal wakeup &
sigpending methods from <linux/sched.h> into <linux/sched/signal.h>")

Use new header file "linux/sched/signal.h" to fix the build error.
