7 * **Added e1000 Rx interrupt support.**
9 * **Added igb TSO support for both PF and VF.**
11 * **RSS enhancement on Intel x550 NIC**
13 * Support 512 entries RSS redirection table.
14 * Support per VF RSS redirection table.
16 * **Flow director enhancement on Intel x550 NIC**
18 * Add 2 new flow director modes on x550.
19 * One is MAC VLAN mode, the other is tunnel mode.
21 * **Added i40e vector RX/TX.**
23 * **Added i40e flow control support.**
25 * **Added DCB support to i40e PF driver.**
27 * **Added fm10k TSO support for both PF and VF.**
29 * **Added fm10k VMDQ support.**
31 * **New NIC Boulder Rapid support.**
33 Boulder Rapid is a new NIC of Intel's fm10k family.
35 * **Enhanced support for the Chelsio CXGBE driver.**
37 * Added support for Jumbo Frames.
38 * Optimize forwarding performance for Chelsio T5 40GbE cards.
40 * **Added support for Mellanox ConnectX-4 adapters (mlx5).**
42 The mlx5 poll-mode driver implements support for Mellanox ConnectX-4 EN
43 and Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx EN families of 10/25/40/50/100 Gb/s adapters.
45 Like mlx4, this PMD is only available for Linux and is disabled by default
46 due to external dependencies (libibverbs and libmlx5).
48 * **Added vhost-user multiple queue support.**
50 * **Added port hotplug support to xenvirt.**
59 * **eal/linux: Fixed epoll timeout.**
61 Fixed issue where the ``rte_epoll_wait()`` function didn't return when the
62 underlying call to ``epoll_wait()`` timed out.
68 * **igb: Fixed IEEE1588 frame identification in I210.**
70 Fixed issue where the flag PKT_RX_IEEE1588_PTP was not being set
71 in Intel I210 NIC, as EtherType in RX descriptor is in bits 8:10 of
72 Packet Type and not in the default bits 0:2.
74 * **ixgbe: Fixed issue with X550 DCB.**
76 Fixed a DCB issue with x550 where for 8 TCs (Traffic Classes), if a packet
77 with user priority 6 or 7 was injected to the NIC, then the NIC would only
78 put 3 packets into the queue. There was also a similar issue for 4 TCs.
80 * **ixgbe: Removed burst size restriction of vector RX.**
82 Fixed issue where a burst size less than 32 didn't receive anything.
84 * **i40e: Fixed base driver allocation when not using first numa node.**
86 Fixed i40e issue that occurred when a DPDK application didn't initialize
87 ports if memory wasn't available on socket 0.
89 * **vhost: Fixed Qemu shutdown.**
91 Fixed issue with libvirt ``virsh destroy`` not killing the VM.
93 * **virtio: Fixed crash after changing link state.**
95 Fixed io permission in the interrupt handler.
97 * **virtio: Fixed crash when releasing queue.**
99 Fixed issue when releasing null control queue.
105 * **hash: Fixed memory allocation of Cuckoo Hash key table.**
107 Fixed issue where an incorrect Cuckoo Hash key table size could be
108 calculated limiting the size to 4GB.
126 * The deprecated flow director API is removed.
127 It was replaced by rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl().
129 * The dcb_queue is renamed to dcb_tc in following dcb configuration
130 structures: rte_eth_dcb_rx_conf, rte_eth_dcb_tx_conf,
131 rte_eth_vmdq_dcb_conf, rte_eth_vmdq_dcb_tx_conf.
133 * The function rte_eal_pci_close_one() is removed.
134 It was replaced by rte_eal_pci_detach().
136 * The deprecated ACL API ipv4vlan is removed.
138 * The deprecated hash function rte_jhash2() is removed.
139 It was replaced by rte_jhash_32b().
141 * The deprecated KNI functions are removed:
142 rte_kni_create(), rte_kni_get_port_id() and rte_kni_info_get().
144 * The deprecated ring PMD functions are removed:
145 rte_eth_ring_pair_create() and rte_eth_ring_pair_attach().
147 * The devargs union field virtual is renamed to virt for C++ compatibility.
153 * The EAL and ethdev structures rte_intr_handle and rte_eth_conf were changed
154 to support Rx interrupt. It was already done in 2.1 for CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
156 * The ethdev flow director entries for SCTP were changed.
157 It was already done in 2.1 for CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
159 * The mbuf structure was changed to support unified packet type.
160 It was already done in 2.1 for CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
162 * The dummy malloc library is removed. The content was moved into EAL in 2.1.
164 * The LPM structure is changed. The deprecated field mem_location is removed.
166 * librte_table LPM: A new parameter to hold the table name will be added to
167 the LPM table parameter structure.
169 * librte_port: Macros to access the packet meta-data stored within the packet
170 buffer has been adjusted to cover the packet mbuf structure.
172 * librte_cfgfile: Allow longer names and values by increasing the constants
173 CFG_NAME_LEN and CFG_VALUE_LEN to 64 and 256 respectively.
