Hey guys,

Can next Ubuntu version enable Xen on DPDK (both DOM0 and XENVIRT) ?

I'm trying to rebuild and package DPDK Ubuntu package with Xen but, I found a bug on DPDK, and I'm stucked now) here is the mail thread on DPDK-dev mail list:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.networking.dpdk.devel/28658

Here is a patch that works with DPDK 2.2.*

http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/9088/

With this patch, it is possible to enable COMBINE_LIBS and XENVIRT at the same time but, it breaks Ubuntu's Lib ABI versioning scheme (patch "ubuntu-combined-shared-lib-abiversion.patch doesn't work anymore, if above patch applied).

Also, DPDK 2.3 will be available in March 2016, before Xenial final freeze (I believe), maybe, Ubuntu Xenaial can ship with it...

I would love to see Ubuntu DPDK package compiled with Xen! ;-)

Cheers!
