[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 0/2] support for VFIO-PCI VF token interface

[David Marchand]

Thanks a lot for working on this.

I can see the support on the kernel side has been pulled in what will be 5.7.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=2fb732b33b0f4d73f391066c0a970b942c600dab

I'd like to get the dpdk support in 20.05, but for this, can I have a
summary of the kernel discussions?
Is there anything missing/still wip in the kernel?


On the series itself, I did not look in detail, but there is no
documentation on how to use the feature.
We are missing a release note update.
And a small comment on the last changes:

This is *not* a reason to drop the Fixes: tag.
Hopefully, we still fix bugs once files have been moved.

But on this point, I suppose this is ok not to backport.
