Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] doc: postpone ABI changes in igb_uio
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2017 16:06:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1486656406-144541-4-git-send-email-jianfeng.tan@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1486656406-144541-1-git-send-email-jianfeng.tan@intel.com>
This ABI changes to remove iomem and ioport mapping in igb_uio. The
purpose of this changes was to fix a bug: when DPDK app crashes,
those devices by igb_uio are not stopped either DPDK PMD driver or
igb_uio driver.
Then it has been pointed out by Stephen Hemminger that it has
backward compatibility issue: cannot run old version DPDK on
modified igb_uio.
However, we still have not figure out a new way to fix this bug
without this change. Let's postpone this deprecation announcement
in case this change cannot be avoided.
