"Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details on this new
driver.
+* **Updated mlx4 driver.**
+
+ Updated the mlx4 driver including the following changes:
+
+ * Isolated mode (rte_flow) can now be enabled anytime, not only during
+ initial device configuration.
+ * Flow rules now support up to 4096 priority levels usable at will by
+ applications.
+ * Enhanced error message to help debugging invalid/unsupported flow rules.
+ * Flow rules matching all multicast and promiscuous traffic are now allowed.
+ * No more software restrictions on flow rules with the RSS action, their
+ configuration is much more flexible.
+ * Significantly reduced memory footprint for Rx and Tx queue objects.
+ * While supported, UDP RSS is temporarily disabled due to a remaining issue
+ with its support in the Linux kernel.
+ * The new RSS implementation does not automatically spread traffic according
+ to the inner packet of VXLAN frames anymore, only the outer one (like
+ other PMDs).
+ * Partial (Tx only) support for secondary processes was broken and had to be
+ removed.
+ * Refactored driver to get rid of dependency on the components provided by
+ Mellanox OFED and instead rely on the current and public rdma-core
+ package and Linux version from now on.
+ * Removed compile-time limitation on number of device instances the PMD
+ can support.
+
* **Updated mlx5 driver.**
Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
See the "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details of
this new driver.
+* **Updated support for Cavium OCTEONTX Device.**
+
+ Updated support for Cavium's OCTEONTX device(CN83xx). This includes:
+
+ * OCTEONTX Mempool driver for supporting offloaded packet memory pool
+ * OCTEONTX Ethdev PMD
+ * OCTEONTX Eventdev-Ethdev Rx adapter
+
+ See the "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details of
+ this new driver.
+
* **nfp: Added PF support.**
Previously Netronome's NFP PMD had just support for VFs. PF support is
that displays more detailed breakdown of CPU cycles used by hardware
acceleration.
+* **Added the Security Offload Library.**
+
+ Added an experimental library - rte_security. It provide security APIs for
+ protocols like IPSec using inline ipsec offload to ethernet device or full
+ protocol offload with lookaside crypto device.
+
+ See the "Security_Library" section of the DPDK Programmers Guide document,
+ for more information.
+
+* **Updated DPAA2_SEC crypto driver.**
+
+ Updated dpaa2_sec crypto PMD to support rte_security lookaside protocol
+ offload for IPSec.
+
+* **Updated IXGBE ethernet driver.**
+
+ Updated ixgbe ethernet PMD to support rte_security inline IPSec offload.
+
+* **Updated ipsec-secgw application**
+
+ Updated ipsec-secgw sample application to support rte_security actions for
+ ipsec inline and full protocol offload using lookaside crypto offload.
+
* **Added IOMMU support to libvhost-user**
Implemented device IOTLB in Vhost-user backend, and enabled Virtio's IOMMU
- feature.
+ feature. The feature is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting
+ RTE_VHOST_USER_IOMMU_SUPPORT flag at vhost device registration time.
* **Added the Event Ethernet Adapter Library.**
Added the Event Ethernet Adapter library. It provices APIs for
eventdev applications to configure the ethdev to eventdev packet flow.
+* **Updated DPAA2 Event PMD.**
+
+ Added support for eventdev ethernet adapter for DPAA2.
+
* **Added Membership library (rte_member).**
Added membership library. It provides an API for DPDK applications to insert a
* Added ``flags`` param in ``rte_mempool_xmem_size`` and
``rte_mempool_xmem_usage``.
-* Xen dom0 in EAL was removed, as well as xenvirt PMD and vhost_xen.
-
* ``rte_mem_phy2mch`` was used in Xen dom0 to obtain the physical address;
remove this API as Xen dom0 support was removed.
These functions are made available either as part of ``librte_pci`` or
``librte_bus_pci``.
+* **Moved vdev bus APIs outside of the EAL**
+
+ Moved the following APIs from ``librte_eal`` to ``librte_bus_vdev``:
+ * ``rte_vdev_init``
+ * ``rte_vdev_register``
+ * ``rte_vdev_uninit``
+ * ``rte_vdev_unregister``
+
* **Add return value to stats_get dev op API**
The ``stats_get`` dev op API return value has been changed to be int.
and have been replaced by non bus specific functions
``rte_cryptodev_pmd_parse_input_args()`` and ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_create()``.
+* ``rte_cryptodev_create_vdev`` was removed to avoid the dependency on vdev
+ in librte_cryptodev; instead, users can call rte_vdev_init() directly.
+
* **Removed PCI device bus specific functions from librte_cryptodev.**
The functions ``rte_cryptodev_pci_generic_probe()`` and
The size of the field ``port_id`` in the ``rte_eth_dev_data`` structure
changed, as described in the `New Features` section.
+* **New parameter added to rte_eth_dev.**
+
+ New parameter ``security_ctx`` added to ``rte_eth_dev`` to support security
+ operations like IPSec inline.
+
+* **New parameter added to rte_cryptodev.**
+
+ New parameter ``security_ctx`` added to ``rte_cryptodev`` to support security
+ operations like lookaside crypto.
