Is it possible to make netmap kernel version agnostic #38

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. We are deploying netmap to various boxes in the lab but being kernel version 
specific we can not update any of the boxes without re-building the netmap and 
associated driver modules. 
2. Is it possible to make it kernel version agnostic or at have a set of 
precompiled libraries against the a set of kernel versions (not down to the 
lower revision numbers). 
3. Or, is it possible to have netmap build against kernel headers vs full 
kernel source?

I am afraid that the only viable possibility is #3, and that only if you don't 
need the patched drivers.

We will definitely need the patched drivers. Our concerns are if there's kernel 
update then we'll have to somehow keep up with it.
