Subject: [PATCH 2/9] doc/linux_gsg: fix missing note on UIO module
Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2022 17:22:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220302172217.472279-3-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220302172217.472279-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
The docs on binding drivers was updated as part of the removal of the
igb_uio module from the main DPDK repo. As part of that update, a note
about uio_pci_generic requiring legacy interrupts was removed, but
should have been kept.
Fixes: 56bb5841fd06 ("kernel/linux: remove igb_uio")
