1 ABI and API Deprecation
2 =======================
4 See the :doc:`guidelines document for details of the ABI policy </contributing/versioning>`.
5 API and ABI deprecation notices are to be posted here.
11 * The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
12 ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
13 tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
15 * The ethdev structures rte_eth_link, rte_eth_dev_info and rte_eth_conf
16 must be updated to support 100G link and to have a cleaner link speed API.
18 * ABI changes is planned for the reta field in struct rte_eth_rss_reta_entry64
19 which handles at most 256 entries (8 bits) while newer NICs support larger
21 It should be integrated in release 2.3.
23 * ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow in order to support
24 extend flow director's input set. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI
25 changes, but release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
27 * ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_tunnel_filter_conf. Change the fields
28 of outer_mac and inner_mac from pointer to struct in order to keep the
29 code's readability. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes, but
30 release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
32 * The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
35 * librte_pipeline: The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port
36 and table action handlers will be updated:
37 the pipeline parameter will be added, the packets mask parameter will be
38 either removed (for input port action handler) or made input-only.
40 * ABI changes are planned in cmdline buffer size to allow the use of long
41 commands (such as RETA update in testpmd). This should impact
42 CMDLINE_PARSE_RESULT_BUFSIZE, STR_TOKEN_SIZE and RDLINE_BUF_SIZE.
43 It should be integrated in release 2.3.
