   There is no backward compatibility planned from release 2.2.
   All binaries will need to be rebuilt from release 2.2.
 

-* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_intr_handle, struct rte_eth_conf
-  and struct eth_dev_ops to support interrupt mode feature from release 2.1.
-  Those changes may be enabled in the release 2.1 with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
-
-* The EAL function rte_eal_pci_close_one is deprecated because renamed to
-  rte_eal_pci_detach.
-

 * The Macros RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES_MAX and RTE_HASH_KEY_LENGTH_MAX are
   deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2.
 
 * The Macros RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES_MAX and RTE_HASH_KEY_LENGTH_MAX are
   deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2.
 

-* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_mbuf, struct rte_kni_mbuf,
-  and several ``PKT_RX_`` flags will be removed, to support unified packet type
-  from release 2.1. Those changes may be enabled in the upcoming release 2.1
-  with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
+* The function rte_jhash2 is deprecated and should be removed.

 
 

-* librte_malloc library has been integrated into librte_eal. The 2.1 release
-  creates a dummy/empty malloc library to fulfill binaries with dynamic linking
-  dependencies on librte_malloc.so. Such dummy library will not be created from
-  release 2.2 so binaries will need to be rebuilt.
+* The field mem_location of the rte_lpm structure is deprecated and should be
+  removed as well as the macros RTE_LPM_HEAP and RTE_LPM_MEMZONE.

 
 * The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
   imissed, ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,

   flow director filtering in VF. The release 2.1 does not contain these ABI
   changes, but release 2.2 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
 

-* ABI change is planned to extend the SCTP flow's key input from release 2.1.
-  The change may be enabled in the release 2.1 with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
+* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_filter and
+  rte_eth_fdir_masks in order to support new flow director modes,
+  MAC VLAN and Cloud, on x550. The MAC VLAN mode means the MAC and
+  VLAN are monitored. The Cloud mode is for VxLAN and NVGRE, and
+  the tunnel type, TNI/VNI, inner MAC and inner VLAN are monitored.
+  The release 2.2 will contain these changes without backwards compatibility.
+
+* librte_kni: Functions based on port id are deprecated for a long time and
+  should be removed (rte_kni_create, rte_kni_get_port_id and rte_kni_info_get).
+
+* librte_pmd_ring: The deprecated functions rte_eth_ring_pair_create and
+  rte_eth_ring_pair_attach should be removed.
+
+* ABI changes are planned for struct virtio_net in order to support vhost-user
+  multiple queues feature.
+  It should be integrated in release 2.2 without backward compatibility.
+
+* The scheduler hierarchy structure (rte_sched_port_hierarchy) will change to
+  allow for a larger number of subport entries.
+  The number of available traffic_classes and queues may also change.
+  The mbuf structure element for sched hierarchy will also change from a single
+  32 bit to a 64 bit structure.
+
+* The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
+  RED actions.
+
+* librte_acl: The structure rte_acl_ipv4vlan_rule is deprecated and should
+  be removed as well as the associated functions rte_acl_ipv4vlan_add_rules
+  and rte_acl_ipv4vlan_build.
+
+* librte_cfgfile: In order to allow for longer names and values,
+  the value of macros CFG_NAME_LEN and CFG_NAME_VAL will be increased.
+  Most likely, the new values will be 64 and 256, respectively.
+
+* librte_port: Macros to access the packet meta-data stored within the
+  packet buffer will be adjusted to cover the packet mbuf structure as well,
+  as currently they are able to access any packet buffer location except the
+  packet mbuf structure.
+
+* librte_table LPM: A new parameter to hold the table name will be added to
+  the LPM table parameter structure.
+
+* librte_table: New functions for table entry bulk add/delete will be added
+  to the table operations structure.
+
+* librte_table hash: Key mask parameter will be added to the hash table
+  parameter structure for 8-byte key and 16-byte key extendible bucket and
+  LRU tables.
+
+* librte_pipeline: The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port
+  and table action handlers will be updated:
+  the pipeline parameter will be added, the packets mask parameter will be
+  either removed (for input port action handler) or made input-only.
