Subject: [PATCH 2/2] known_issues: drop note about UIO with really old kernels
Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2022 08:45:17 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220217164518.8262-3-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220217164518.8262-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

The DPDK has not supported 3.9 kernel for a long time so the
release note about UIO kernel bug in older versions is no
longer relevant.
