[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] kni: fix compilation issue on kernel 3.19

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] kni: fix compilation issue on kernel 3.19

[Pablo de Lara]

Due to commit c0371da6 in kernel 3.19, which removed msg_iov
and msg_iovlen from struct msghdr, DPDK would not build.

This patch makes use of struct iov_iter, which has references
to those two variables.

Self-NACK. Kernel 4.0 has other changes that require other fixes, incompatible with this patch.
Will send a v2 compatible with both kernels 3.19 and 4.0

Self-NACK again. Missing checks and wrong variable names.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] kni: fix compilation issue in KNI vhost on kernel 3.19/4.0

[Pablo de Lara]

Due to commit c0371da6 in kernel 3.19, which removed msg_iov
and msg_iovlen from struct msghdr, DPDK would not build.
Also, functions memcpy_toiovecend and memcpy_fromiovecend
were removed in commits ba7438ae and 57dd8a07, being substituted by
copy_from_iter and copy_to_iter.

This patch makes use of struct iov_iter, which has references
to msg_iov and msg_iovln, and makes use of copy_from_iter
and copy_to_iter.

Changes in v2:
- Replaced functions memcpy_toiovecend and memcpy_fromiovecend
  with copy_from_iter and copy_to_iter

Changes in v3:
- Fixed variable names
- Add missing checks

I sent a patch for that (kni: fix compilation issue on kernel 4.0.0), by the end of last month.
Is it OK to merge it or do you want me to send a v4 of this one, including that fix?

Applied, thanks

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] kni: fix compilation issue on kernel 3.19

[Pablo de Lara]

Due to API changes in functions ndo_dflt_bridge_getlink
and igb_ndo_fdb_add in kernel 3.19, DPDK would not build.

This patch solves the problem, by checking the kernel version
and adding the necessary new parameters

I am not aware of such macro in the kernel, unfortunately.
I just sent a v2.
