The related kernel function is: - pci_num_vf, it is introduced from upstream linux-2.6.34. For RHEL-based kernel, it is defined from RHEL5.9.
- kstrtoul, this function is united kernel API to replace strict_strtoul in the furture. It is introduced from linux-2.6.39. For RHEL6, it is defined from RHEL6.4. This patchset do some compatiblity work for these two functions, and replace strict_strtoul which is depleted from linux-3.18. Some test results for dpdk-1.8.0-rc3 with this patchset: 1. In RHEL7 GA: Build success after specify -mssse3 to CFLAGS, ``` CC ixgbe_rxtx_vec.o In file included from /root/dpdk-source/lib/librte_pmd_ixgbe/ixgbe_rxtx_vec.c:41:0: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.2/include/tmmintrin.h:31:3: error: #error "SSSE3 instruction set not enabled" # error "SSSE3 instruction set not enabled" ``` - for igb_uio, pass - for kni, pass - for xen_dom0, pass 2. In RHEL6.5 : Build fails for kni, and xen_dom0: - for igb_uio: pass - for kni: fail, the log is: ``` CC [M] /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.o /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c: In function ?kni_sock_poll?: /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c:222: error: ?struct socket? has no member named ?wq? /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c: In function ?kni_chk_vhost_rx?: /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c:313: error: implicit declaration of function ?sk_sleep? cc1: warnings being treated as errors /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c:313: error: passing argument 1 of ?__wake_up? makes pointer from integer without a cast include/linux/wait.h:146: note: expected ?struct wait_queue_head_t *? but argument is of type ?int? /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c: In function ?kni_sk_write_space?: /root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.c:580: error: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast make[8]: *** [/root/dpdk-source/build/build/lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/kni/kni_vhost.o] Error 1 ``` - for xen_dom0: fail, seems xen is not offical supported in RHEL6. v4: Indent for patches. Include compat.h for kni_vhost.c v3: Adjust pci_num_vf() introduced RHEL version number. Seperate "replace strict_strtoul with kstrtoul" into 3 patches for igb_uio, kni, and xen_dom0. Add compat.h in kni and xen_dom0 for compatible with older kernels. v2: Merge these two patch in one patchset. Compatible with old kernel for kstrtoul. Compatible with RHEL6 for pci_num_vf.
