11 A **dependency** has been added for building DPDK on Linux or FreeBSD:
12 the Python module **pyelftools** (version **0.22** or greater),
13 often packaged as python3-pyelftools, is required.
15 If not available as a distribution package, it can be installed with::
17 pip3 install pyelftools
23 * **Added new ethdev API for PMD power management.**
25 Added ``rte_eth_get_monitor_addr()``, to be used in conjunction with
26 ``rte_power_monitor()`` to enable automatic power management for PMDs.
28 * **Added Ethernet PMD power management helper API.**
30 A new helper API has been added to make using Ethernet PMD power management
31 easier for the user: ``rte_power_ethdev_pmgmt_queue_enable()``. Three power
32 management schemes are supported initially:
34 * Power saving based on UMWAIT instruction (x86 only)
35 * Power saving based on ``rte_pause()`` (generic) or TPAUSE instruction (x86 only)
36 * Power saving based on frequency scaling through the ``librte_power`` library
38 * **Added GENEVE TLV option in rte_flow.**
40 Added support for matching and raw encap/decap of GENEVE TLV option.
42 * **Added support for Modify field action in the flow API.**
44 Added "modify" action support to rte_flow to perform various operations on
45 any arbitrary header field (as well as mark, metadata or tag values):
46 ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_MODIFY_FIELD``.
47 Supported operations are: overwriting a field with the content from
48 another field, addition and subtraction using an immediate value.
50 * **Updated Broadcom bnxt driver.**
52 Updated the Broadcom bnxt driver with fixes and improvements, including:
54 * Added support for Stingray2 device.

62 * Added support for traffic management.
64 * **Updated Intel i40e driver.**
66 * Added Intel i40e support on Windows.
68 * **Updated Intel ice driver.**
70 Updated the Intel ice driver with new features and improvements, including:
72 * Added Double VLAN support for DCF switch QinQ filtering.
73 * Added support for UDP dynamic port assignment for eCPRI tunnels in DCF.
75 * **Updated Intel iavf driver.**

82 * **Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver.**
84 Updated the Mellanox mlx5 driver with new features and improvements, including:
86 * Introduced basic support on Windows.
87 * Added GTP PDU session container matching and raw encap/decap.
88 * Added support for a RSS action in the sample sub-actions list.
89 * Added support for E-Switch mirroring and jump action in the same flow.
90 * Added support to handle the modify action in correct order regarding the
91 mirroring action on E-Switch.
92 * Enlarged the number of flow priorities to 21844 (0 - 21843) for ingress or
93 egress flow groups greater than 0 and for any transfer flow group.
94 * Added support for the Tx mbuf fast free offload.
95 * Added support for flow modify field action.
97 * **Updated the Pensando ionic driver.**
99 Updated the Pensando ionic driver with new features and improvements, including:
101 * Fixed bugs related to link autonegotiation.
102 * Fixed bugs related to port start/stop and queue start/stop.
103 * Added support for probing the supported queue versions. Note that
104 extremely old (pre-1.0) firmware will no longer be usable with the PMD.
105 * Removed unused code.
106 * Reduced device startup time.
108 * **Updated Wangxun txgbe driver.**
110 Updated the Wangxun txgbe driver with new features and improvements, including:
112 * Add support for generic flow API.
113 * Add support for traffic manager.
114 * Add support for IPsec.
116 * **Updated GSO support.**
118 * Added inner UDP/IPv4 support for VXLAN IPv4 GSO.
120 * **Added enqueue and dequeue callback APIs for cryptodev library.**
122 The Cryptodev library has been enhanced with enqueue and dequeue callback APIs to
123 enable applications to add/remove user callbacks which get called
124 for every enqueue/dequeue operation.
126 * **Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD.**
128 * Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD lookaside protocol offload for IPsec with
129 ESN and anti-replay support.
130 * Updated the OCTEON TX2 crypto PMD with CN98xx support.
131 * Added support for aes-cbc sha1-hmac cipher combination in OCTEON TX2 crypto
132 PMD lookaside protocol offload for IPsec.
133 * Added support for aes-cbc sha256-128-hmac cipher combination in OCTEON TX2
134 crypto PMD lookaside protocol offload for IPsec.
136 * **Added mlx5 compress PMD.**
138 Added a new compress PMD driver for Bluefield 2 adapters.
140 See the :doc:`../compressdevs/mlx5` for more details.
142 * **Added python script to run crypto perf tests and graph the results.**
144 A new Python script has been added to automate running crypto performance
145 tests and output graphed results to PDF files.
146 See the :doc:`../tools/cryptoperf` guide for more details.
148 * **Added Windows support to pmdinfogen.**
150 PMD information strings were added for Windows as well as for other OS.
151 Extracting them from Windows DLL is not yet supported.
152 The build-time tool pmdinfogen was rewritten in Python,
153 thus libelf dependency was replaced with pyelftools as new build dependency.
155 * **Added support for build-time checking of header includes.**
157 A new build option ``check_includes`` has been added, which, when enabled,
158 will perform build-time checking on DPDK public header files, to ensure none
159 are missing dependent header includes. This feature, disabled by default, is
160 intended for use by developers contributing to the DPDK SDK itself, and is
161 integrated into the build scripts and automated CI for patch contributions.
167 * The internal header files ``rte_ethdev_driver.h``, ``rte_ethdev_vdev.h`` and
168 ``rte_ethdev_pci.h`` are no longer installed as part of the DPDK
169 ``ninja install`` action and are renamed to ``ethdev_driver.h``,
170 ``ethdev_vdev.h`` and ``ethdev_pci.h`` respectively in the source tree, to
171 reflect the fact that they are non-public headers.
173 * The internal header files ``rte_eventdev_pmd.h``, ``rte_eventdev_pmd_vdev.h``
174 and ``rte_eventdev_pmd_pci.h`` are no longer installed as part of the DPDK
175 ``ninja install`` action and are renamed to ``eventdev_pmd.h``,
176 ``eventdev_pmd_vdev.h`` and ``eventdev_pmd_pci.h`` respectively in the source
177 tree, to reflect the fact that they are non-public headers.
179 * Removed support for NetXtreme devices belonging to ``BCM573xx and
180 BCM5740x`` families. Specifically the support for the following Broadcom
181 PCI device IDs ``0x16c8, 0x16c9, 0x16ca, 0x16ce, 0x16cf, 0x16df, 0x16d0,``
182 ``0x16d1, 0x16d2, 0x16d4, 0x16d5, 0x16e7, 0x16e8, 0x16e9`` has been removed.
184 * The ``check-includes.sh`` script for checking DPDK header files has been
185 removed, being replaced by the ``check_includes`` build option described
192 * config: Removed the old macros, included in ``rte_config.h``,
193 to indicate which DPDK libraries and drivers are built.
194 The new macros are generated by meson in a standardized format:
195 ``RTE_LIB_<NAME>`` and ``RTE_<CLASS>_<NAME>``, where ``NAME`` is
196 the upper-case component name, e.g. ``EAL``, ``ETHDEV``, ``VIRTIO``,
197 and ``CLASS`` is the upper-case driver class, e.g. ``NET``, ``CRYPTO``.
199 * cryptodev: The structure ``rte_cryptodev`` has been updated with pointers
200 for adding enqueue and dequeue callbacks.
206 * No ABI change that would break compatibility with 20.11.
208 * The experimental function ``rte_telemetry_init`` has been removed from the
209 public API and is now an internal-only function. Where telemetry library is
210 available, it is called automatically from ``rte_eal_init()`` and so no end
211 application need use it.
