We never enabled CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_XEN_DOM0, we only did LIBRTE_PMD_XENVIRT based on a user request we had. That said we won't "take away" anything from anybody and so far had no request to provide it. The person that asked for the XEN_PMD was Thiago (set to CC as he might have an opinion on that). For me I think it is a good change to drop rather unmaintained parts to make the rest more stable: Acked-by: Christian Ehrhardt Christian Ehrhardt Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd On Thu, Jul 28, 2016 at 10:20 AM, Thomas Monjalon wrote: > There were some efforts to fix Xen Dom0 support in 16.07: > http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-July/043823.html > But there is still at least one bug: > http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-July/044207.html > And nobody cares: > http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-July/044376.html > > Signed-off-by: Thomas Monjalon > --- > doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst | 3 +++ > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst > b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst > index f502f86..6b8e9af 100644 > --- a/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst > +++ b/doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst > @@ -41,3 +41,6 @@ Deprecation Notices > * The mempool functions for single/multi producer/consumer are deprecated > and > will be removed in 16.11. > It is replaced by rte_mempool_generic_get/put functions. > + > +* The support for Xen Dom0 is broken and seems not to be used. > + It will be removed in 16.11. > -- > 2.7.0 > >
