Modify docs and travis linux build script to use the DPDK 17.11.1 release branch to benefit from most recent bug fixes.
There are no new features introduced in the DPDK release, only back ported bug fixes. For completeness these bug fixes have been documented under the 17.11.1 section in the link below. http://dpdk.org/doc/guides-17.11/rel_notes/release_17_11.html#id1 Signed-off-by: Ian Stokes <ian.sto...@intel.com> --- .travis/linux-build.sh | 2 +- Documentation/faq/releases.rst | 4 ++-- Documentation/intro/install/dpdk.rst | 8 ++++---- Documentation/topics/dpdk/vhost-user.rst | 14 +++++++------- 4 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/.travis/linux-build.sh b/.travis/linux-build.sh index 8fd9aa0..004953f 100755 --- a/.travis/linux-build.sh +++ b/.travis/linux-build.sh @@ -83,7 +83,7 @@ fi if [ "$DPDK" ]; then if [ -z "$DPDK_VER" ]; then - DPDK_VER="17.11" + DPDK_VER="17.11.1" fi install_dpdk $DPDK_VER if [ "$CC" = "clang" ]; then diff --git a/Documentation/faq/releases.rst b/Documentation/faq/releases.rst index baa9e97..59252fa 100644 --- a/Documentation/faq/releases.rst +++ b/Documentation/faq/releases.rst @@ -162,9 +162,9 @@ Q: What DPDK version does each Open vSwitch release work with? 2.4.x 2.0 2.5.x 2.2 2.6.x 16.07.2 - 2.7.x 16.11.4 + 2.7.x 16.11.5 2.8.x 17.05.2 - 2.9.x 17.11 + 2.9.x 17.11.1 ============ ======= Q: I get an error like this when I configure Open vSwitch: diff --git a/Documentation/intro/install/dpdk.rst b/Documentation/intro/install/dpdk.rst index ed358d5..e0a96ac 100644 --- a/Documentation/intro/install/dpdk.rst +++ b/Documentation/intro/install/dpdk.rst @@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ Build requirements In addition to the requirements described in :doc:`general`, building Open vSwitch with DPDK will require the following: -- DPDK 17.11 +- DPDK 17.11.1 - A `DPDK supported NIC`_ @@ -69,9 +69,9 @@ Install DPDK #.
