avoiding impact on vectorized implementation of the driver datapaths,
while evaluating performance gains of a better use of the first cache line.
-
-* ethdev: the legacy filter API, including
- ``rte_eth_dev_filter_supported()``, ``rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl()`` as well
- as filter types FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR,
- HASH and L2_TUNNEL, is superseded by the generic flow API (rte_flow) in
- PMDs that implement the latter.
- The legacy API will be removed in DPDK 20.11.
-
* ethdev: The flow director API, including ``rte_eth_conf.fdir_conf`` field,
and the related structures (``rte_fdir_*`` and ``rte_eth_fdir_*``),
will be removed in DPDK 20.11.
-* ethdev: The legacy L2 tunnel filtering API is deprecated as the rest of
- the legacy filtering API.
- The functions ``rte_eth_dev_l2_tunnel_eth_type_conf`` and
- ``rte_eth_dev_l2_tunnel_offload_set`` which were not marked as deprecated,
- will be removed in DPDK 20.11.
-
* ethdev: New offload flags ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK`` will be added in 19.11.
This will allow application to enable or disable PMDs from updating
``rte_mbuf::hash::fdir``.
