DPDK Release 17.11
==================
* **Added a new driver for Marvell Armada 7k/8k devices.**
Added the new ``mrvl`` net driver for Marvell Armada 7k/8k devices. See the
- :doc:`../nics/mrvl` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
+ :doc:`../nics/mvpp2` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
* **Updated mlx4 driver.**
* The DES CBC algorithm.
* The DES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.
- This change requires version 0.47 of the IPSec Multi-buffer library. For
+ This change requires version 0.47 of the IPsec Multi-buffer library. For
more details see the :doc:`../cryptodevs/aesni_mb` documentation.
* **Updated the OpenSSL PMD.**
A new crypto PMD has been added, which provides several ciphering and hashing
algorithms. All cryptography operations use the MUSDK library crypto API.
- See the :doc:`../cryptodevs/mrvl` document for more details.
+ See the :doc:`../cryptodevs/mvsam` document for more details.
* **Add new benchmarking mode to dpdk-test-crypto-perf application.**
* **Added the Security Offload Library.**
Added an experimental library - ``rte_security``. This provide security APIs
- for protocols like IPSec using inline ipsec offload to ethernet devices or
+ for protocols like IPsec using inline ipsec offload to ethernet devices or
full protocol offload with lookaside crypto devices.
See the :doc:`../prog_guide/rte_security` section of the DPDK Programmers
* **Updated the DPAA2_SEC crypto driver to support rte_security.**
Updated the ``dpaa2_sec`` crypto PMD to support ``rte_security`` lookaside
- protocol offload for IPSec.
+ protocol offload for IPsec.
* **Updated the IXGBE ethernet driver to support rte_security.**
- Updated ixgbe ethernet PMD to support ``rte_security`` inline IPSec offload.
+ Updated ixgbe ethernet PMD to support ``rte_security`` inline IPsec offload.
+
+* **Updated i40e driver to support GTP-C/GTP-U.**
+
+ Updated i40e PMD to support GTP-C/GTP-U with GTP-C/GTP-U supporting
+ profiles which can be programmed by dynamic device personalization (DDP)
+ process.
+
+* **Added the i40e ethernet driver to support queue region feature.**
+
+ This feature enable queue regions configuration for RSS in PF,
+ so that different traffic classes or different packet
+ classification types can be separated into different queues in
+ different queue regions.
* **Updated ipsec-secgw application to support rte_security.**
``rte_log_get_global_level()``, ``rte_log_set_level()`` and
``rte_log_get_level()``.
-* **Removed mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT.**
+* **Removed mbuf flags RTE_MBUF_F_RX_VLAN_PKT and RTE_MBUF_F_RX_QINQ_PKT.**
- The ``mbuf`` flags ``PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT`` and ``PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT`` have
+ The ``mbuf`` flags ``RTE_MBUF_F_RX_VLAN_PKT`` and ``RTE_MBUF_F_RX_QINQ_PKT`` have
been removed since their behavior was not properly described.
-* **Added mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN and PKT_RX_QINQ.**
+* **Added mbuf flags RTE_MBUF_F_RX_VLAN and RTE_MBUF_F_RX_QINQ.**
Two ``mbuf`` flags have been added to indicate that the VLAN
- identifier has been saved in in the ``mbuf`` structure. For instance:
+ identifier has been saved in the ``mbuf`` structure. For instance:
- - If VLAN is not stripped and TCI is saved: ``PKT_RX_VLAN``
- - If VLAN is stripped and TCI is saved: ``PKT_RX_VLAN | PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED``
+ - If VLAN is not stripped and TCI is saved: ``RTE_MBUF_F_RX_VLAN``
+ - If VLAN is stripped and TCI is saved: ``RTE_MBUF_F_RX_VLAN | RTE_MBUF_F_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED``
* **Modified the vlan_offload_set_t function prototype in the ethdev library.**
* **New parameter added to rte_eth_dev.**
A new parameter ``security_ctx`` has been added to ``rte_eth_dev`` to
- support security operations like IPSec inline.
+ support security operations like IPsec inline.
* **New parameter added to rte_cryptodev.**
