I did a change in the patch while applying. See below:
14/07/2021 11:28, Tudor Cornea:
> Some older kernels do not support the PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket
> option. Such an example is the CentOS 7 kernel (3.10).
>
> If we only check for the definition of PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, it might mean
> that we will not be able to compile the PMD driver on a newer platform,
> and run in on a machine with an older kernel.
>
> Setting the socket option only if it is specifically requested from
> the EAL arguments, allows us to have a way to run the PMD compiled
> against newer kernel headers, on platforms having older kernels.

I move this #if below...

... here so we can...

... drop this #else
