+
Resolved Issues
---------------
The size of internal device name is increased to 64 characters
to allow for storing longer bus specific name.
+* **Ethdev flag RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE was removed**
+
+ This flag is not necessary anymore, with the new hotplug implementation.
+ It is now removed from the ether library. Its semantic is expressed at the bus
+ and PMD level.
+
* **Service cores API updated for usability**
The service cores API has been changed, removing pointers from the API
* 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.
+* **Some data type, structure members and functions related to physical address
+ are deprecated and have new alias with IOVA wording.**
+
+ * ``phys_addr_t`` can be often replaced by ``rte_iova_t`` of same size.
+ * ``RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR`` is often replaced by ``RTE_BAD_IOVA`` of same value.
+ * ``rte_memseg.phys_addr`` is aliased with ``rte_memseg.iova_addr``.
+ * ``rte_mem_virt2phy()`` can often be replaced by ``rte_mem_virt2iova``.
+ * ``rte_malloc_virt2phy`` is aliased with ``rte_malloc_virt2iova``.
+ * ``rte_memzone.phys_addr`` is aliased with ``rte_memzone.iova``.
+ * ``rte_mempool_objhdr.physaddr`` is aliased with ``rte_mempool_objhdr.iova``.
+ * ``rte_mempool_memhdr.phys_addr`` is aliased with ``rte_mempool_memhdr.iova``.
+ * ``rte_mempool_virt2phy()`` can be replaced by ``rte_mempool_virt2iova()``.
+ * ``rte_mempool_populate_phys*()`` are aliased with ``rte_mempool_populate_iova*()``
+ * ``rte_mbuf.buf_physaddr`` is aliased with ``rte_mbuf.buf_iova``.
+ * ``rte_mbuf_data_dma_addr*()`` are aliased with ``rte_mbuf_data_iova*()``.
+ * ``rte_pktmbuf_mtophys*`` are aliased with ``rte_pktmbuf_iova*()``.
+
+* **PCI bus API moved outside of the EAL**
+
+ The PCI bus previously implemented within the EAL has been moved.
+ A first part has been added as an RTE library providing PCI helpers to
+ parse device locations or other such utilities.
+ A second part consisting in the actual bus driver has been moved to its
+ proper subdirectory, without changing its functionalities.
+
+ As such, several PCI-related functions are not proposed by the EAL anymore:
+
+ * rte_pci_detach
+ * rte_pci_dump
+ * rte_pci_ioport_map
+ * rte_pci_ioport_read
+ * rte_pci_ioport_unmap
+ * rte_pci_ioport_write
+ * rte_pci_map_device
+ * rte_pci_probe
+ * rte_pci_probe_one
+ * rte_pci_read_config
+ * rte_pci_register
+ * rte_pci_scan
+ * rte_pci_unmap_device
+ * rte_pci_unregister
+ * rte_pci_write_config
+
+ 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.
The function ``rte_cryptodev_allocate_driver()`` has been modified.
An extra parameter ``struct cryptodev_driver *crypto_drv`` has been added.
+* **Removed virtual device bus specific functions from librte_cryptodev.**
+
+ The functions ``rte_cryptodev_vdev_parse_init_params()`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_vdev_pmd_init()`` have been removed from librte_cryptodev
+ 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
+ ``rte_cryptodev_pci_generic_remove()`` have been removed from librte_cryptodev
+ and have been replaced by non bus specific functions
+ ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_create()`` and ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_destroy()``.
+
+* **Removed deprecated functions to manage log level or type.**
+
+ The functions ``rte_set_log_level()``, ``rte_get_log_level()``,
+ ``rte_set_log_type()`` and ``rte_get_log_type()`` have been removed.
+ They are respectively replaced by ``rte_log_set_global_level()``,
+ ``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``.**
+
+ The ``mbuf`` flags ``PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT`` and ``PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT`` have
+ been removed since their behavior were not properly described.
+
+* **Added ``mbuf`` flags ``PKT_RX_VLAN`` and ``PKT_RX_QINQ``.**
+
+ Two ``mbuf`` flags have been added to indicate that the VLAN
+ identifier has been saved in 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``
+
+* **Modified the vlan_offload_set_t function prototype in the ethdev library.**
+
+ Changed the function prototype of ``vlan_offload_set_t``. The return value
+ has been changed from ``void`` to ``int`` so the caller to knows whether
+ the backing device supports the operation or if the operation was
+ successfully performed.
+
ABI Changes
-----------
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.
+
Removed Items
-------------
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=========================================================
+* Xen dom0 in EAL was removed, as well as xenvirt PMD and vhost_xen.
+
* The crypto performance unit tests have been removed,
replaced by the dpdk-test-crypto-perf application.
