Hi Jeff,

There is a Linux commit causing the issue, right. Commit done because of
the reasons mentioned in "Description". Do you think does it make sense
to note that Linux commit, and Linux kernel version that has been
introduced?

You are known as "Jeff Guo <jia.guo@intel.com>" to DPDK repo, based on
previous commits.
If this is correct, is there any problem to continue like this?

Also v1 Acked-by JingJing already, you can keep her ack in next version
of the patch.

Hi, Ferruh
At beginning, we found this issue in latest kernel version, such as kernel 4.7.9 on fedora24.
But later, we observed that this issue also exist on REL7.3.
So, it may be a little difficult to us to figure out exactly which kernel version
doesn't support. And the root cause is the HW's errata which makes uio_pci_generic
cannot be used on XL710 series NICs.

Thanks
Jingjing

It won't work custom kernels, but upstream kernel version. If you think
that will be confusion, that is OK.

What do you think just adding Linux kernel commit information, can it be
useful?

yes, the root cause of the issue is the HW' errata, but not the linux 
kernel commit,  because even without the linux kernel commit and 
uio_pci_generic can even be bind and use,  but still will cause other 
interrupt status issue. fix this interrupt status issue that is the 
purpose of the linux kernel commit.
so i think add linux kernel commit information in dpdk can be somehow to 
useful for track issue, but if let the kernel issue be manage by kernel 
org must be better.
ferruh and jingjing, Do you all agree with me. beg on your feedback.

That was my reasoning for asking this. It may help others to understand
the issue more.

But is seems both you and Jingjing think this cause more confusion than
benefit. So I am OK with your proposal, if nobody else have objection.

Hi,john
      The "bind uio_pci_generic`` is not the definitely command, but very appreciate for your correcting the other syntax issue. I will involve them in v4, Thanks very much.

Hi Jeff, 

Variables, functions, program names, file names and any other literal should 
be in backtick quotes, as outlined in the DPDK Documentation: 

http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/documentation.html#code-and-literal-block-sections

So uio_pci_generic should be quoted with backticks. If you want to add bind then do:
``--bind= uio_pci_generic`` or similar.

Either way it shouldn't be quoted using the "smart" Unicode or non-Unicode quotes as in the
patch. All quotes should be straight ASCII double quotes (""). The Html/PDF renderers
will convert to the correct quotes as required.

Also, this link generates a doc build error. I think because of the space
between the < and the https:.

To be consistent on names, this should be "Jeff Guo <jia.guo@intel.com>"
both in sign-off and author field.

If you will send a new version of the patch, please take care of this
too, if there won't be a new version please confirm it is OK to fix
while applying.

Thanks,

Yes, rerruh, I will recheck the gitconfig and consistent the sign-off name in v4. thanks for your suggestion.
