Hi all,
Are there any specific issues in FreeBSD that have prevented implementation
of KNI?
Is implementation of KNI for FreeBSD in your roadmap?
Thanks in adv,
Amin

Hi,
I am not aware of KNI for FreeBSD being on a roadmap. I also don't think
anyone looked at it in any serious way as to figure out if there are
specific issues that prevent KNI from working on FreeBSD.

It is not in the roadmap as far as I know.
cc'ed Paras, if I remember correctly he also mentioned from this support in the
past, perhaps there can be some collaboration.
The issue I can think of as a blocker is a new kernel module code in the DPDK
repo, previously guidance was to upstream kernel related code into kernel source.
cc'ed Thomas & Stephen.

Doesn't netmap achieve similar functionality ?

No, I don't think so. AFAIK, netmap is for pulling packets from the NIC
into userspace. This is going from userspace to the kernel - the tap PMD
might be the best equivalent, though performance may be a challenge.
