From e3671ec19f84f4be477fba24e20478b04988f4d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Richardson Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2022 12:38:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] doc: drop reference to KNI from Linux guide The KNI library is disabled by default in DPDK and is already documented in the programmers guide and also in the sample application guide. There are also in-kernel alternatives to it. Therefore, we can drop the (already fairly minimal) reference to it from the Linux GSG.
