[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] doc: clarify documentation on running as non-root

2017-08-04 Thread Bruce Richardson
Since modern kernels don't allow unprivileged processes to read the pagemaps file, the instructions on running as non-root are out-of-date. Add a note clarifying that they will only work with earlier kernel versions. Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson --- doc/guides/linux_gsg/enable_func.rst | 8 ++
