Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/4] Use common Linux tools to control DPDK ports
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2016 12:40:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADNuJVpr_0eOj8KW1fH5_-ed-6=si-Xsgjffcitd5CtVA8Qz9Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Is there some technical reason or is it just the push-back you are getting
from some of the maintainers?
I chimed in on one of the other threads already, but I'm extremely
disappointed that usability and serviceability improvements to existing
DPDK capabilities (KNI) are getting blocked like this.
For companies building network appliances based on DPDK, having a kernel
module that isn't in the tree just isn't that big of a deal. Long term
goals for getting this upstream are great, but why not take advantage of
incremental improvements in the meantime?
