[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-stable] [PATCH v5 3/3] kni: fix kernel deadlock when using mlx devices

[Igor Ryzhov]

Thanks. I think it would be great to make this configurable, and maybe even
make shutdown synchronous by default to preserve the old behavior.

I would be grateful if you could spend time on the work and I am ready to
review it.

Igor
