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