10 * **Added support for Hyper-V netvsc PMD.**
12 The new ``netvsc`` poll mode driver provides native support for
13 networking on Hyper-V. See the :doc:`../nics/netvsc` NIC driver guide
14 for more details on this new driver.
16 * **Added Flow API support for CXGBE PMD.**
18 Flow API support has been added to CXGBE Poll Mode Driver to offload
19 flows to Chelsio T5/T6 NICs. Support added for:
21 * Wildcard (LE-TCAM) and Exact (HASH) match filters.
22 * Match items: physical ingress port, IPv4, IPv6, TCP and UDP.
23 * Action items: queue, drop, count, and physical egress port redirect.
25 * **Added ixgbe preferred Rx/Tx parameters.**
27 Rather than applications providing explicit Rx and Tx parameters such as
28 queue and burst sizes, they can request that the EAL instead uses preferred
29 values provided by the PMD, falling back to defaults within the EAL if the
30 PMD does not provide any. The provision of such tuned values now includes
33 * **Added descriptor status check support for fm10k.**
35 The ``rte_eth_rx_descriptor_status`` and ``rte_eth_tx_descriptor_status``
36 APIs are now supported by fm10K.
38 * **Updated the enic driver.**
40 * Add low cycle count Tx handler for no-offload Tx.
41 * Add low cycle count Rx handler for non-scattered Rx.
42 * Minor performance improvements to scattered Rx handler.
43 * Add handlers to add/delete VxLAN port number.
44 * Add devarg to specify ingress VLAN rewrite mode.
46 * **Updated mlx5 driver.**
48 Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
50 * Added port representors support.
51 * Added Flow API support for e-switch rules.
52 Added support for ACTION_PORT_ID, ACTION_DROP, ACTION_OF_POP_VLAN,
53 ACTION_OF_PUSH_VLAN, ACTION_OF_SET_VLAN_VID, ACTION_OF_SET_VLAN_PCP
55 * Added support for 32-bit compilation.
57 * **Added TSO support for the mlx4 driver.**
59 Added TSO support for the mlx4 drivers from MLNX_OFED_4.4 and above.
61 * **SoftNIC PMD rework.**
63 The SoftNIC PMD infrastructure has been restructured to use the Packet
64 Framework, which makes it more flexible, modular and easier to add new
65 functionality in the future.
67 * **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
69 The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
71 * 3DES for 8, 16 and 24 byte keys.
73 * **Added a new compression PMD using Intel's QuickAssist (QAT) device family.**
75 Added the new ``QAT`` compression driver, for compression and decompression
76 operations in software. See the :doc:`../compressdevs/qat_comp` compression
77 driver guide for details on this new driver.
79 * **Updated the ISA-L PMD.**
81 Added support for chained mbufs (input and output).
87 * The path to the runtime config file has changed. The new path is determined
90 - If DPDK is running as root, ``/var/run/dpdk/<prefix>/config``
91 - If DPDK is not running as root:
93 * If ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` is set, ``${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/dpdk/<prefix>/config``
94 * Otherwise, ``/tmp/dpdk/<prefix>/config``
96 * eal: The function ``rte_eal_mbuf_default_mempool_ops`` was deprecated
97 and is removed in 18.08. It shall be replaced by
98 ``rte_mbuf_best_mempool_ops``.
100 * mempool: Following functions were deprecated and are removed in 18.08:
102 - ``rte_mempool_populate_iova_tab``
103 - ``rte_mempool_populate_phys_tab``
104 - ``rte_mempool_populate_phys`` (``rte_mempool_populate_iova`` should be used)
105 - ``rte_mempool_virt2phy`` (``rte_mempool_virt2iova`` should be used)
106 - ``rte_mempool_xmem_create``
107 - ``rte_mempool_xmem_size``
108 - ``rte_mempool_xmem_usage``
110 * ethdev: The old offload API is removed:
112 - Rx per-port ``rte_eth_conf.rxmode.[bit-fields]``
113 - Tx per-queue ``rte_eth_txconf.txq_flags``
114 - ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*``
116 The transition bits are removed:
118 - ``rte_eth_conf.rxmode.ignore_offload_bitfield``
119 - ``ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE``
121 * cryptodev: The following API changes have been made in 18.08:
123 - In struct ``struct rte_cryptodev_info``, field ``rte_pci_device *pci_dev``
124 has been replaced with field ``struct rte_device *device``.
125 - Value 0 is accepted in ``sym.max_nb_sessions``, meaning that a device
126 supports an unlimited number of sessions.
127 - Two new fields of type ``uint16_t`` have been added:
128 ``min_mbuf_headroom_req`` and ``min_mbuf_tailroom_req``. These parameters
129 specify the recommended headroom and tailroom for mbufs to be processed by
132 * cryptodev: The following functions were deprecated and are removed in 18.08:
134 - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_start``
135 - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_stop``
136 - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session``
137 - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_detach_sym_session``
139 * cryptodev: The following functions were deprecated and are replaced by other
142 - ``rte_cryptodev_get_header_session_size`` is replaced with
143 ``rte_cryptodev_sym_get_header_session_size``
144 - ``rte_cryptodev_get_private_session_size`` is replaced with
145 ``rte_cryptodev_sym_get_private_session_size``
147 * cryptodev: Feature flag ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER`` is
148 replaced with the following more explicit flags:
150 - ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_IN_PLACE_SGL``
151 - ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_SGL_OUT``
152 - ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_LB_OUT``
153 - ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_OOP_LB_IN_SGL_OUT``
154 - ``RTE_CRYPTODEV_FF_OOP_LB_IN_LB_OUT``
156 * cryptodev: Renamed cryptodev experimental APIs:
158 Used user_data instead of private_data in following APIs to avoid confusion
159 with the existing session parameter ``sess_private_data[]`` and related APIs.
161 - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_set_private_data()`` changed to
162 ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_set_user_data()``
163 - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_get_private_data()`` changed to
164 ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_get_user_data()``
166 * compressdev: Feature flag ``RTE_COMP_FF_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER`` is
167 replaced with the following more explicit flags:
169 - ``RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_SGL_OUT``
170 - ``RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_SGL_IN_LB_OUT``
171 - ``RTE_COMP_FF_OOP_LB_IN_SGL_OUT``
