12 * **Added non-EAL threads registration API.**
14 Added a new API to register non-EAL threads as lcores. This can be used by
15 applications to have its threads known to DPDK without suffering from the
16 non-EAL previous limitations in terms of performance.
18 * **rte_*mb APIs are updated to use the DMB instruction for ARMv8.**
20 ARMv8 memory model has been strengthened to require other-multi-copy
21 atomicity. This allows for using the DMB instruction instead of DSB for IO
22 barriers. The rte_*mb APIs, for ARMv8 platforms, have changed to use the DMB
23 instruction to reflect this.
25 * **Added support for RTS and HTS modes into mempool ring driver.**
27 Added the ability to select new ring synchronisation modes:
28 ``relaxed tail sync (ring_mt_rts)`` and ``head/tail sync (ring_mt_hts)``
29 via the mempool ops API.
31 * **Added the support for vfio-pci new VF token interface.**
33 From Linux 5.7, vfio-pci supports to bind both SR-IOV PF and the created
34 VFs, where it uses a shared VF token (UUID) to represent the collaboration
35 between PF and VFs. The DPDK PCI driver has been updated to gain the access
36 to the PF and VFs devices by appending the VF token parameter.
38 * **Added the RegEx Library, a generic RegEx service library.**
40 Added the RegEx library which provides an API for offload of regular
41 expressions search operations to hardware or software accelerator devices.

72 packet transmitting can be synchronized. A device Tx offload flag has been
73 added to indicate the PMD supports send scheduling.
