Libbpf is in linux-next which means it will be in the 5.1 release. This rel= ease will likely be in the end of April if we count the normal 8 week caden= ce of releases. 8 weeks means April 28, 9 weeks =3D May 5. 10 weeks =3D May= 12. So unless we go all the way to 10 weeks, this feature should be in a s= table release before DPDK 19.05. /Magnus
