10 * **Increase minimum x86 ISA version to SSE4.2.**
12 Starting with version 17.08, DPDK requires SSE4.2 to run on x86.
13 Previous versions required SSE3.
15 * **Added Service Core functionality.**
17 The service core functionality added to EAL allows DPDK to run services such
18 as software PMDs on lcores without the application manually running them. The
19 service core infrastructure allows flexibility of running multiple services
20 on the same service lcore, and provides the application with powerful APIs to
21 configure the mapping from service lcores to services.
23 * **Added Generic Receive Offload API.**
25 Added Generic Receive Offload (GRO) API support to reassemble TCP/IPv4
26 packets. The GRO API assumes all input packets have the correct
27 checksums. GRO API doesn't update checksums for merged packets. If
28 input packets are IP fragmented, the GRO API assumes they are complete
29 packets (i.e. with L4 headers).
31 * **Added Fail-Safe PMD**
33 Added the new Fail-Safe PMD. This virtual device allows applications to
34 support seamless hotplug of devices.
35 See the :doc:`/nics/fail_safe` guide for more details about this driver.
37 * **Added support for generic flow API (rte_flow) on igb NICs.**
39 This API provides a generic means of configuring hardware to match specific
40 ingress or egress traffic, altering its behavior and querying related counters
41 according to any number of user-defined rules.
43 Added generic flow API support for Ethernet, IPv4, UDP, TCP and RAW pattern
44 items with QUEUE actions. There are four types of filter support for this
47 * **Added support for generic flow API (rte_flow) on enic.**
49 Added flow API support for outer Ethernet, VLAN, IPv4, IPv6, UDP, TCP, SCTP,
50 VxLAN and inner Ethernet, VLAN, IPv4, IPv6, UDP and TCP pattern items with
51 QUEUE, MARK, FLAG and VOID actions for ingress traffic.
53 * **Added support for Chelsio T6 family of adapters**
55 The CXGBE PMD was updated to run Chelsio T6 family of adapters.
57 * **Added latency and performance improvements for cxgbe**
59 the Tx and Rx path in cxgbe were reworked to improve performance. In
60 addition the latency was reduced for slow traffic.
62 * **Updated the bnxt PMD.**
64 Updated the bnxt PMD. The major enhancements include:
66 * Support MTU modification.
67 * Add support for LRO.
68 * Add support for VLAN filter and strip functionality.
69 * Additional enhancements to add support for more dev_ops.
70 * Added PMD specific APIs mainly to control VF from PF.
71 * Update HWRM version to 1.7.7
73 * **Added support for Rx interrupts on mlx4 driver.**
75 Rx queues can be now be armed with an interrupt which will trigger on the
78 * **Updated mlx5 driver.**
80 Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
82 * Added vectorized Rx/Tx burst for x86.
83 * Added support for isolated mode from flow API.
84 * Reworked the flow drop action to implement in hardware classifier.
85 * Improved Rx interrupts management.
87 * **Updated szedata2 PMD.**
89 Added support for firmware with multiple Ethernet ports per physical port.
91 * **Updated dpaa2 PMD.**
93 Updated dpaa2 PMD. Major enhancements include:

96 * Added support for Segmented Buffers.
97 * Added support for VLAN filter and strip functionality.
98 * Additional enhancements to add support for more dev_ops.
99 * Optimized the packet receive path
101 * **Reorganized the symmetric crypto operation structure.**
103 The crypto operation (``rte_crypto_sym_op``) has been reorganized as follows:
105 * Removed the ``rte_crypto_sym_op_sess_type`` field.
106 * Replaced the pointer and physical address of IV with offset from the start
107 of the crypto operation.
108 * Moved length and offset of cipher IV to ``rte_crypto_cipher_xform``.
109 * Removed "Additional Authentication Data" (AAD) length.
110 * Removed digest length.
111 * Removed AAD pointer and physical address from ``auth`` structure.
112 * Added ``aead`` structure, containing parameters for AEAD algorithms.
114 * **Reorganized the crypto operation structure.**

120 have been modified to be ``uint8_t`` values.
121 * Removed the field ``opaque_data``.
122 * Pointer to ``rte_crypto_sym_op`` has been replaced with a zero length array.
124 * **Reorganized the crypto symmetric session structure.**
126 The crypto symmetric session structure (``rte_cryptodev_sym_session``) has
127 been reorganized as follows:
129 * The ``dev_id`` field has been removed.
130 * The ``driver_id`` field has been removed.
131 * The mempool pointer ``mp`` has been removed.
132 * Replaced ``private`` marker with array of pointers to private data sessions
133 ``sess_private_data``.
135 * **Updated cryptodev library.**
137 * Added AEAD algorithm specific functions and structures, so it is not
138 necessary to use a combination of cipher and authentication
140 * Added helper functions for crypto device driver identification.
141 * Added support for multi-device sessions, so a single session can be
142 used in multiple drivers.
143 * Added functions to initialize and free individual driver private data
144 with the same session.
146 * **Updated dpaa2_sec crypto PMD.**
148 Added support for AES-GCM and AES-CTR.
150 * **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
152 The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
154 * 12-byte IV on AES Counter Mode, apart from the previous 16-byte IV.
156 * **Updated the AES-NI GCM PMD.**
158 The AES-NI GCM PMD was migrated from the ISA-L library to the Multi Buffer
159 library, as the latter library has Scatter Gather List support
160 now. The migration entailed adding additional support for 192-bit keys.
162 * **Updated the Cryptodev Scheduler PMD.**
164 Added a multicore based distribution mode, which distributes the enqueued
165 crypto operations among several slaves, running on different logical cores.
167 * **Added NXP DPAA2 Eventdev PMD.**
169 Added the new dpaa2 eventdev driver for NXP DPAA2 devices. See the
170 "Event Device Drivers" document for more details on this new driver.

177 to verify functionality and measure the performance parameters of DPDK
184 * **Starting with version 17.08, libnuma is required to build DPDK.**
190 * **Modified the _rte_eth_dev_callback_process function in the ethdev library.**
192 The function ``_rte_eth_dev_callback_process()`` has been modified. The
193 return value has been changed from void to int and an extra parameter ``void
194 *ret_param`` has been added.
196 * **Moved bypass functions from the rte_ethdev library to ixgbe PMD**
198 * The following rte_ethdev library functions were removed:
200 * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_show()``
201 * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_store()``
202 * ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_init()``

225 have been made to it:
227 * The crypto device type enumeration has been removed from cryptodev library.
228 * The function ``rte_crypto_count_devtype()`` has been removed, and replaced
229 by the new function ``rte_crypto_count_by_driver()``.
230 * Moved crypto device driver names definitions to the particular PMDs.
231 These names are not public anymore.
232 * The ``rte_cryptodev_configure()`` function does not create the session
233 mempool for the device anymore.
234 * The ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session()`` and
235 ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_detach_sym_session()`` functions require
236 the new parameter ``device id``.
237 * Parameters of ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create()`` were modified to
238 accept ``mempool``, instead of ``device id`` and ``rte_crypto_sym_xform``.

252 * Changed type of ``domain`` field in ``rte_pci_addr`` to ``uint32_t``
253 to follow the PCI standard.
255 * Added new ``rte_bus`` experimental APIs available as operators within the
