It can be re-enabled by setting disabled_libs to the empty string (or other string not including 'kni') 2. add support for a list of deprecated libs to the lib/meson.build file so the error message for KNI being disabled includes the fact that it is a deprecated library. 3. for the dependent NIC driver, drivers/net/kni, modify its disabled message to also reference the fact that KNI is disabled. NOTE: This is part of the deprecation process for KNI agreed by the DPDK technical board.[1] [1] http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2022-June/243596.html Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson --- V2: correct dpdk_conf lookup key to RTE_LIB_KNI --- doc/guides/prog_guide/kernel_nic_interface.rst | 4 ++++ drivers/net/kni/meson.build | 5 +++++ lib/meson.build | 7 +++++++ meson_options.txt | 2 +- 4 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/doc/guides/prog_guide/kernel_nic_interface.rst b/doc/guides/prog_guide/kernel_nic_interface.rst index 03b5bca958..6a564f61ca 100644 --- a/doc/guides/prog_guide/kernel_nic_interface.rst +++ b/doc/guides/prog_guide/kernel_nic_interface.rst @@ -14,6 +14,10 @@ Kernel NIC Interface For an alternative to KNI, that does not require any out-of-tree Linux kernel modules, or a custom library, see :ref:`virtio_user_as_exception_path`. +.. note:: + + KNI is disabled by default in the DPDK build. + To re-enable the library, remove 'kni' from the "disable_libs" meson option when configuring a build.
