[dpdk-users] Error while building DPDK version 19.11 over latest kernel version

[Klei rama]

Hei,

I am trying to build DPDK version 19.11 in my ubuntu machine (18.04) with
the latest kernel version 5.9. It gives me an error while I try to build
it. The error is when I try to build linux/kni module.
The error looks something like this:

*dpdk/kernel/linux/kni/kni_dev.h:104:30:* *error: *passing argument 1 of ‘
*get_user_pages_remote*’ from incompatible pointer type [
*-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types*]


Is there any workaround?Do I need to disable that module or should I
downgrade the kernel version? I wanted to debug my application and see if
it needs kni module but I did not not how to disable kni module. I tried
common_base and common_linux under config directory but could not find the
line which disable this module.


Any kind of help will be very much appreciated.


Cheers,

Klei
