[dpdk-stable] patch 'kni: fix build on Linux < 3.14' has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5

[Yongseok Koh]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/01/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Yongseok

[ upstream commit c6c36fe28a7bfd8ca21784b2b8b62241f89de06e ]

The atomic functions smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release()
were introduced in Linux 3.14. Older kernels miss the functions:

kni_fifo.h:19:2: error:
	implicit declaration of function ‘smp_load_acquire’
kni_fifo.h:30:2: error:
	implicit declaration of function ‘smp_store_release’

The fallback is to drop the atomic barrier, as it was before
the commit below.

Fixes: 711859cd0d07 ("kni: fix kernel FIFO synchronization")
