7 * **Added e1000 Rx interrupt support.**
9 * **Added igb TSO support for both PF and VF.**
11 * **RSS enhancement on Intel x550 NIC**
13 * Support 512 entries RSS redirection table.
14 * Support per VF RSS redirection table.
16 * **Flow director enhancement on Intel x550 NIC**
18 * Add 2 new flow director modes on x550.
19 * One is MAC VLAN mode, the other is tunnel mode.
21 * **Enhanced support for the Chelsio CXGBE driver.**
23 * Added support for Jumbo Frames.
24 * Optimize forwarding performance for Chelsio T5 40GbE cards.
26 * **Added vhost-user multiple queue support.**
34 * **eal/linux: Fixed epoll timeout.**
36 Fixed issue where the ``rte_epoll_wait()`` function didn't return when the
37 underlying call to ``epoll_wait()`` timed out.
43 * **igb: Fixed IEEE1588 frame identification in I210.**
45 Fixed issue where the flag PKT_RX_IEEE1588_PTP was not being set
46 in Intel I210 NIC, as EtherType in RX descriptor is in bits 8:10 of
47 Packet Type and not in the default bits 0:2.
49 * **ixgbe: Fixed issue with X550 DCB.**
51 Fixed a DCB issue with x550 where for 8 TCs (Traffic Classes), if a packet
52 with user priority 6 or 7 was injected to the NIC, then the NIC would only
53 put 3 packets into the queue. There was also a similar issue for 4 TCs.
55 * **ixgbe: Removed burst size restriction of vector RX.**
57 Fixed issue where a burst size less than 32 didn't receive anything.
59 * **i40e: Fixed base driver allocation when not using first numa node.**
61 Fixed i40e issue that occurred when a DPDK application didn't initialize
62 ports if memory wasn't available on socket 0.
64 * **vhost: Fixed Qemu shutdown.**
66 Fixed issue with libvirt ``virsh destroy`` not killing the VM.
68 * **virtio: Fixed crash after changing link state.**
70 Fixed io permission in the interrupt handler.
72 * **virtio: Fixed crash when releasing queue.**
74 Fixed issue when releasing null control queue.
80 * **hash: Fixed memory allocation of Cuckoo Hash key table.**
82 Fixed issue where an incorrect Cuckoo Hash key table size could be
83 calculated limiting the size to 4GB.
101 * The deprecated flow director API is removed.
102 It was replaced by rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl().
104 * The function rte_eal_pci_close_one() is removed.
105 It was replaced by rte_eal_pci_detach().
107 * The deprecated ACL API ipv4vlan is removed.
109 * The deprecated hash function rte_jhash2() is removed.
110 It was replaced by rte_jhash_32b().
112 * The deprecated KNI functions are removed:
113 rte_kni_create(), rte_kni_get_port_id() and rte_kni_info_get().
115 * The deprecated ring PMD functions are removed:
116 rte_eth_ring_pair_create() and rte_eth_ring_pair_attach().
118 * The devargs union field virtual is renamed to virt for C++ compatibility.
124 * The EAL and ethdev structures rte_intr_handle and rte_eth_conf were changed
125 to support Rx interrupt. It was already done in 2.1 for CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
127 * The ethdev flow director entries for SCTP were changed.
128 It was already done in 2.1 for CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
130 * The mbuf structure was changed to support unified packet type.
131 It was already done in 2.1 for CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
133 * The dummy malloc library is removed. The content was moved into EAL in 2.1.
135 * The LPM structure is changed. The deprecated field mem_location is removed.
137 * librte_table LPM: A new parameter to hold the table name will be added to
138 the LPM table parameter structure.
140 * librte_port: Macros to access the packet meta-data stored within the packet
141 buffer has been adjusted to cover the packet mbuf structure.
143 * librte_cfgfile: Allow longer names and values by increasing the constants
144 CFG_NAME_LEN and CFG_VALUE_LEN to 64 and 256 respectively.
