10 * **Added support for using externally allocated memory in DPDK.**
12 DPDK has added support for creating new ``rte_malloc`` heaps referencing
13 memory that was created outside of DPDK's own page allocator, and using that
14 memory natively with any other DPDK library or data structure.
16 * **Added check for ensuring allocated memory is addressable by devices.**
18 Some devices can have addressing limitations so a new function,
19 ``rte_mem_check_dma_mask()``, has been added for checking that allocated
20 memory is not out of the device range. Since memory can now be allocated
21 dynamically after initialization, a DMA mask is stored and any new allocated
22 memory will be checked against it and rejected if it is out of range. If
23 more than one device has addressing limitations, the DMA mask is the more
26 * **Updated the C11 memory model version of the ring library.**
28 Added changes to decrease latency for architectures using the C11 memory
29 model version of the ring library.
31 On Cavium ThunderX2 platform, the changes decreased latency by 27-29%
32 and 3-15% for MPMC and SPSC cases respectively (with 2 lcores). The
33 real improvements may vary with the number of contending lcores and
36 * **Added hot-unplug handle mechanism.**
38 Added ``rte_dev_hotplug_handle_enable()`` and
39 ``rte_dev_hotplug_handle_disable()`` for enabling or disabling the hotplug
42 * **Added support for device multi-process hotplug.**
44 Added support for hotplug and hot-unplug in a multiprocessing scenario. Any
45 ethdev devices created in the primary process will be regarded as shared and
46 will be available for all DPDK processes. Synchronization between processes
47 will be done using DPDK IPC.
49 * **Added new Flow API actions to rewrite fields in packet headers.**
51 Added new Flow API actions to:
53 * Modify source and destination IP addresses in the outermost IPv4/IPv6
55 * Modify source and destination port numbers in the outermost TCP/UDP
58 * **Added new Flow API action to swap MAC addresses in Ethernet header.**
60 Added new Flow API action to swap the source and destination MAC
61 addresses in the outermost Ethernet header.
63 * **Add support to offload more flow match and actions for CXGBE PMD.**
65 The Flow API support has been enhanced for the CXGBE Poll Mode Driver to
68 * Match items: destination MAC address.
69 * Action items: push/pop/rewrite vlan header,
70 rewrite IP addresses in outermost IPv4/IPv6 header,
71 rewrite port numbers in outermost TCP/UDP header,
72 swap MAC addresses in outermost Ethernet header.
74 * **Added a devarg to use the latest supported vector path in i40e.**
76 A new devarg ``use-latest-supported-vec`` was introduced to allow users to
77 choose the latest vector path that the platform supported. For example, users
78 can use AVX2 vector path on BDW/HSW to get better performance.
80 * **Added support for SR-IOV in netvsc PMD.**
82 The ``netvsc`` poll mode driver now supports the Accelerated Networking
83 SR-IOV option in Hyper-V and Azure. This is an alternative to the previous
84 vdev_netvsc, tap, and failsafe drivers combination.
86 * **Added a new net driver for Marvell Armada 3k device.**
88 Added the new ``mvneta`` net driver for Marvell Armada 3k device. See the
89 :doc:`../nics/mvneta` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
91 * **Added NXP ENETC PMD.**
93 Added the new enetc driver for the NXP enetc platform. See the
94 :doc:`../nics/enetc` NIC driver guide for more details on this new driver.
96 * **Added Ethernet poll mode driver for Aquantia aQtion family of 10G devices.**
98 Added the new ``atlantic`` ethernet poll mode driver for Aquantia XGBE devices.
99 See the :doc:`../nics/atlantic` NIC driver guide for more details on this
102 * **Updated mlx5 driver.**
104 Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
106 * Improved security of PMD to prevent the NIC from getting stuck when
107 the application misbehaves.
108 * Reworked flow engine to supported e-switch flow rules (transfer attribute).
109 * Added support for header re-write(L2-L4), VXLAN encap/decap, count, match
110 on TCP flags and multiple flow groups with e-switch flow rules.
111 * Added support for match on metadata, VXLAN and MPLS encap/decap with flow
113 * Added support for ``RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE`` flag to provide better
114 support for representors.
115 * Added support for meson build.
116 * Fixed build issue with PPC.
117 * Added support for BlueField VF.
118 * Added support for externally allocated static memory for DMA.
120 * **Updated Solarflare network PMD.**
122 Updated the sfc_efx driver including the following changes:
124 * Added support for Rx scatter in EF10 datapath implementation.
125 * Added support for Rx descriptor status API in EF10 datapath implementation.
126 * Added support for TSO in EF10 datapath implementation.
127 * Added support for Tx descriptor status API in EF10 (ef10 and ef10_simple)
128 datapaths implementation.
130 * **Updated the enic driver.**
132 * Added AVX2-based vectorized Rx handler.
133 * Added VLAN and checksum offloads to the simple Tx handler.
134 * Added the "count" flow action.
135 * Enabled the virtual address IOVA mode.
137 * **Updated the failsafe driver.**
139 Updated the failsafe driver including the following changes:
141 * Added support for Rx and Tx queues start and stop.
142 * Added support for Rx and Tx queues deferred start.
143 * Added support for runtime Rx and Tx queues setup.
144 * Added support multicast MAC address set.
146 * **Added a devarg to use a PCAP interface physical MAC address.**
148 A new devarg ``phy_mac`` was introduced to allow users to use the physical
149 MAC address of the selected PCAP interface.
151 * **Added TAP Rx/Tx queues sharing with a secondary process.**
153 Added support to allow a secondary process to attach a TAP device created
154 in the primary process, probe the queues, and process Rx/Tx in a secondary
157 * **Added classification and metering support to SoftNIC PMD.**
159 Added support for flow classification (rte_flow API), and metering and
160 policing (rte_mtr API) to the SoftNIC PMD.
162 * **Added Crypto support to the Softnic PMD.**
164 The Softnic is now capable of processing symmetric crypto workloads such
165 as cipher, cipher-authentication chaining, and AEAD encryption and
166 decryption. This is achieved by calling DPDK Cryptodev APIs.
168 * **Added cryptodev port to port library.**
170 Cryptodev port is a shim layer in the port library that interacts with DPDK
171 Cryptodev PMDs including burst enqueuing and dequeuing crypto operations.
173 * **Added symmetric cryptographic actions to the pipeline library.**
175 In the pipeline library support was added for symmetric crypto action
176 parsing and an action handler was implemented. The action allows automatic
177 preparation of the crypto operation with the rules specified such as
178 algorithm, key, and IV, etc. for the cryptodev port to process.
180 * **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
182 The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for the AES-GCM
185 * **Added NXP CAAM JR PMD.**
187 Added the new caam job ring driver for NXP platforms. See the
188 :doc:`../cryptodevs/caam_jr` guide for more details on this new driver.
190 * **Added support for GEN3 devices to Intel QAT driver.**
192 Added support for the third generation of Intel QuickAssist devices.
194 * **Updated the QAT PMD.**
196 The QAT PMD was updated with additional support for:
198 * The AES-CMAC algorithm.
200 * **Added support for Dynamic Huffman Encoding to Intel QAT comp PMD.**
202 The Intel QuickAssist (QAT) compression PMD has been updated with support
203 for Dynamic Huffman Encoding for the Deflate algorithm.
205 * **Added Event Ethernet Tx Adapter.**
207 Added event ethernet Tx adapter library that provides configuration and
208 data path APIs for the ethernet transmit stage of an event driven packet
209 processing application. These APIs abstract the implementation of the
210 transmit stage and allow the application to use eventdev PMD support or
211 a common implementation.
213 * **Added Distributed Software Eventdev PMD.**
215 Added the new Distributed Software Event Device (DSW), which is a
216 pure-software eventdev driver distributing the work of scheduling
217 among all eventdev ports and the lcores using them. DSW, compared to
218 the SW eventdev PMD, sacrifices load balancing performance to
219 gain better event scheduling throughput and scalability.
221 * **Added extendable bucket feature to hash library (rte_hash).**
223 This new "extendable bucket" feature provides 100% insertion guarantee to
224 the capacity specified by the user by extending hash table with extra
225 buckets when needed to accommodate the unlikely event of intensive hash
226 collisions. In addition, the internal hashing algorithm was changed to use
227 partial-key hashing to improve memory efficiency and lookup performance.
229 * **Added lock free reader/writer concurrency to hash library (rte_hash).**
231 Lock free reader/writer concurrency prevents the readers from getting
232 blocked due to a preempted writer thread. This allows the hash library
233 to be used in scenarios where the writer thread runs on the control plane.
235 * **Added Traffic Pattern Aware Power Control Library.**
237 Added an experimental library that extends the Power Library and provides
238 empty_poll APIs. This feature measures how many times empty_polls are
239 executed per core and uses the number of empty polls as a hint for system
242 See the :doc:`../prog_guide/power_man` section of the DPDK Programmers
243 Guide document for more information.
245 * **Added JSON power policy interface for containers.**
247 Extended the Power Library and vm_power_manager sample app to allow power
248 policies to be submitted via a FIFO using JSON formatted strings. Previously
249 limited to Virtual Machines, this feature extends power policy functionality
250 to containers and host applications that need to have their cores frequency
251 controlled based on the rules contained in the policy.
253 * **Added Telemetry API.**
255 Added a new telemetry API which allows applications to transparently expose
256 their telemetry in JSON via a UNIX socket. The JSON can be consumed by any
257 Service Assurance agent, such as CollectD.
259 * **Updated KNI kernel module, rte_kni library, and KNI sample application.**
261 Updated the KNI kernel module with a new kernel module parameter,
262 ``carrier=[on|off]`` to allow the user to control the default carrier
263 state of the KNI kernel network interfaces. The default carrier state
264 is now set to ``off``, so the interfaces cannot be used until the
265 carrier state is set to ``on`` via ``rte_kni_update_link`` or
266 by writing ``1`` to ``/sys/devices/virtual/net/<iface>/carrier``.
267 In previous versions the default carrier state was left undefined.
268 See :doc:`../prog_guide/kernel_nic_interface` for more information.
270 Also added the new API function ``rte_kni_update_link()`` to allow the user
271 to set the carrier state of the KNI kernel network interface.
273 Also added a new command line flag ``-m`` to the KNI sample application to
274 monitor and automatically reflect the physical NIC carrier state to the
275 KNI kernel network interface with the new ``rte_kni_update_link()`` API.
276 See :doc:`../sample_app_ug/kernel_nic_interface` for more information.
278 * **Added ability to switch queue deferred start flag on testpmd app.**
280 Added a console command to testpmd app, giving ability to switch
281 ``rx_deferred_start`` or ``tx_deferred_start`` flag of the specified queue of
282 the specified port. The port must be stopped before the command call in order
283 to reconfigure queues.
285 * **Add a new sample application for vDPA.**
287 The vdpa sample application creates vhost-user sockets by using the
288 vDPA backend. vDPA stands for vhost Data Path Acceleration which utilizes
289 virtio ring compatible devices to serve virtio driver directly to enable
290 datapath acceleration. As vDPA driver can help to set up vhost datapath,
291 this application doesn't need to launch dedicated worker threads for vhost
292 enqueue/dequeue operations.
294 * **Added cryptodev FIPS validation example application.**
296 Added an example application to parse and perform symmetric cryptography
297 computation to the NIST Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP)
300 * **Allow unit test binary to take parameters from the environment.**
302 The unit test "test", or "dpdk-test", binary is often called from scripts,
303 which can make passing additional parameters, such as a coremask,
304 difficult. Support has been added to the application to allow it to take
305 additional command-line parameter values from the ``DPDK_TEST_PARAMS``
306 environment variable to make this application easier to use.
312 * eal: ``rte_memseg_list`` structure now has an additional flag indicating
313 whether the memseg list is externally allocated. This will have implications
314 for any users of memseg-walk-related functions, as they will now have to skip
315 externally allocated segments in most cases if the intent is to only iterate
316 over internal DPDK memory.
318 In addition the ``socket_id`` parameter across the entire DPDK has gained
319 additional meaning, as some socket ID's will now be representing externally
320 allocated memory. No changes will be required for existing code as backwards
321 compatibility will be kept, and those who do not use this feature will not
322 see these extra socket ID's. Any new API's must not check socket ID
323 parameters themselves, and must instead leave it to the memory subsystem to
324 decide whether socket ID is a valid one.
326 * eal: The following devargs functions, which were deprecated in 18.05,
327 were removed in 18.11:
328 ``rte_eal_parse_devargs_str()``, ``rte_eal_devargs_add()``,
329 ``rte_eal_devargs_type_count()``, and ``rte_eal_devargs_dump()``.
331 * eal: The parameters of the function ``rte_devargs_remove()`` have changed
332 from bus and device names to ``struct rte_devargs``.
334 * eal: The deprecated functions attach/detach were removed in 18.11.
335 ``rte_eal_dev_attach`` can be replaced by
336 ``rte_dev_probe`` or ``rte_eal_hotplug_add``.
337 ``rte_eal_dev_detach`` can be replaced by
338 ``rte_dev_remove`` or ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove``.
340 * eal: The scope of ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()``/``rte_dev_probe()``
341 and ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``/``rte_dev_remove()`` has been extended.
342 In the multi-process model, they will guarantee that the device is
343 attached or detached on all processes.
345 * mbuf: The ``__rte_mbuf_raw_free()`` and ``__rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg()``
346 functions were deprecated since 17.05 and are replaced by
347 ``rte_mbuf_raw_free()`` and ``rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg()``.
349 * ethdev: The deprecated functions attach/detach were removed in 18.11.
350 ``rte_eth_dev_attach()`` can be replaced by ``RTE_ETH_FOREACH_MATCHING_DEV``
351 and ``rte_dev_probe()`` or ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()``.
352 ``rte_eth_dev_detach()`` can be replaced by
353 ``rte_dev_remove()`` or ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``.
355 * ethdev: A call to ``rte_eth_dev_release_port()`` has been added in
356 ``rte_eth_dev_close()``. As a consequence, a closed port is freed
357 and seen as invalid because of its state ``RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED``.
358 This new behavior is enabled per driver for a migration period.
360 * A new device flag, ``RTE_ETH_DEV_NOLIVE_MAC_ADDR``, changes the order of
361 actions inside ``rte_eth_dev_start()`` regarding MAC set. Some NICs do not
362 support MAC changes once the port has started and with this new device
363 flag the MAC can be properly configured in any case. This is particularly
364 important for bonding.
366 * The default behavior of CRC strip offload has changed in this
367 release. Without any specific Rx offload flag, default behavior by a PMD is
368 now to strip CRC. ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` offload flag has been removed.
369 To request keeping CRC, application should set ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC``
372 * eventdev: The type of the second parameter to
373 ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_caps_get()`` has been changed from uint8_t to
376 * kni: By default, interface carrier status is ``off`` which means there won't
377 be any traffic. It can be set to ``on`` via ``rte_kni_update_link()`` API or
378 via ``sysfs`` interface: ``echo 1 > /sys/class/net/vEth0/carrier``.
380 Note interface should be ``up`` to be able to read/write sysfs interface.
381 When KNI sample application is used, ``-m`` parameter can be used to
382 automatically update the carrier status for the interface.
384 * kni: When ethtool support is enabled (``CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL=y``)
385 ethtool commands ``ETHTOOL_GSET & ETHTOOL_SSET`` are no longer supported for
386 kernels that have ``ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS & ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS`` support.
387 This means ``ethtool "-a|--show-pause", "-s|--change"`` won't work, and
388 ``ethtool <iface>`` output will have less information.
394 * eal: added ``legacy_mem`` and ``single_file_segments`` values to
395 ``rte_config`` structure on account of improving DPDK usability when
396 using either ``--legacy-mem`` or ``--single-file-segments`` flags.
398 * eal: EAL library ABI version was changed due to previously announced work on
399 supporting external memory in DPDK:
401 - Structure ``rte_memseg_list`` now has a new field indicating length
402 of memory addressed by the segment list
403 - Structure ``rte_memseg_list`` now has a new flag indicating whether
404 the memseg list refers to external memory
405 - Structure ``rte_malloc_heap`` now has a new field indicating socket
406 ID the malloc heap belongs to
407 - Structure ``rte_mem_config`` has had its ``malloc_heaps`` array
408 resized from ``RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES`` to ``RTE_MAX_HEAPS`` value
409 - Structure ``rte_malloc_heap`` now has a ``heap_name`` member
410 - Structure ``rte_eal_memconfig`` has been extended to contain next
411 socket ID for externally allocated segments
413 * eal: Added ``dma_maskbits`` to ``rte_mem_config`` for keeping the most
414 restrictive DMA mask based on the devices addressing limitations.
416 * eal: The structure ``rte_device`` has a new field to reference a
417 ``rte_bus``. It thus changes the size of the ``struct rte_device`` and the
418 inherited device structures of all buses.

493 * IBM Power8 is not supported in this release of DPDK. IBM Power9 is
496 * ``AVX-512`` support has been disabled for ``GCC`` builds [1] because of a
497 crash [2]. This can affect ``native`` machine type build targets on the
498 platforms that support ``AVX512F`` like ``Intel Skylake`` processors, and
499 can cause a possible performance drop. The immediate workaround is to use
500 ``clang`` compiler on these platforms. The issue has been identified as a
501 GCC defect and reported to the GCC community [3]. Further actions will be
502 taken based on the GCC defect result.
