Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/23/22. 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. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/steevenlee/dpdk

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/steevenlee/dpdk/commit/133ec0ce1cf48478423440b532eabb7bcb019c0c

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] kni: fix build with Linux 5.18
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit c98600d4bed6d15599e448990f2ba117ca938a2d ]

Since commit 2655926aea9b (net: Remove netif_rx_any_context() and
netif_rx_ni().) in 5.18, netif_rx_ni() no longer exists as netif_rx()
can be called from any context. So define HAVE_NETIF_RX_NI for older
releases and call the appropriate function in kni_net.

netif_rx_ni() must be used on older kernel since netif_rx() might
might lead to deadlocks or other problems there.
