There is no backward compatibility planned from release 2.2.
All binaries will need to be rebuilt from release 2.2.
-* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_intr_handle, struct rte_eth_conf
- and struct eth_dev_ops to support interrupt mode feature from release 2.1.
- Those changes may be enabled in the release 2.1 with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
-
-* The EAL function rte_eal_pci_close_one is deprecated because renamed to
- rte_eal_pci_detach.
-
-* The Macros RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES_MAX and RTE_HASH_KEY_LENGTH_MAX are
- deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2.
-
-* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_mbuf, struct rte_kni_mbuf,
- and several ``PKT_RX_`` flags will be removed, to support unified packet type
- from release 2.1. Those changes may be enabled in the upcoming release 2.1
- with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
-
-* librte_malloc library has been integrated into librte_eal. The 2.1 release
- creates a dummy/empty malloc library to fulfill binaries with dynamic linking
- dependencies on librte_malloc.so. Such dummy library will not be created from
- release 2.2 so binaries will need to be rebuilt.
-
* The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
imissed, ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
-* API for flow director filters has been replaced by rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl.
- Following old API is deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2 without
- backward compatibility.
- Functions: rte_eth_dev_fdir_*.
- Structures: rte_fdir_*, rte_eth_fdir.
- Enums: rte_l4type, rte_iptype.
-
* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow_ext in order to support
flow director filtering in VF. The release 2.1 does not contain these ABI
changes, but release 2.2 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
-* ABI change is planned to extend the SCTP flow's key input from release 2.1.
- The change may be enabled in the release 2.1 with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
-
* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_filter and
rte_eth_fdir_masks in order to support new flow director modes,
MAC VLAN and Cloud, on x550. The MAC VLAN mode means the MAC and
the tunnel type, TNI/VNI, inner MAC and inner VLAN are monitored.
The release 2.2 will contain these changes without backwards compatibility.
-* librte_kni: Functions based on port id are deprecated for a long time and
- should be removed (rte_kni_create, rte_kni_get_port_id and rte_kni_info_get).
-
-* librte_pmd_ring: The deprecated functions rte_eth_ring_pair_create and
- rte_eth_ring_pair_attach should be removed.
-
* ABI changes are planned for struct virtio_net in order to support vhost-user
multiple queues feature.
It should be integrated in release 2.2 without backward compatibility.
* The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
RED actions.
-* librte_acl: The structure rte_acl_ipv4vlan_rule is deprecated and should
- be removed as well as the associated functions rte_acl_ipv4vlan_add_rules
- and rte_acl_ipv4vlan_build.
-
-* librte_cfgfile: In order to allow for longer names and values,
- the value of macros CFG_NAME_LEN and CFG_NAME_VAL will be increased.
- Most likely, the new values will be 64 and 256, respectively.
-
-* librte_port: Macros to access the packet meta-data stored within the
- packet buffer will be adjusted to cover the packet mbuf structure as well,
- as currently they are able to access any packet buffer location except the
- packet mbuf structure.
-
-* librte_table LPM: A new parameter to hold the table name will be added to
- the LPM table parameter structure.
-
* librte_table: New functions for table entry bulk add/delete will be added
to the table operations structure.
