-* eal: To be more inclusive in choice of naming, the DPDK project
- will replace uses of master/slave in the API's and command line arguments.
-
- References to master/slave in relation to lcore will be renamed
- to initial/worker. The function ``rte_get_master_lcore()``
- will be renamed to ``rte_get_initial_lcore()``.
- For the 20.11 release, both names will be present and the
- old function will be marked with the deprecated tag.
- The old function will be removed in a future version.
-
- The iterator for worker lcores will also change:
- ``RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_SLAVE`` will be replaced with
- ``RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_WORKER``.
-
- The ``master-lcore`` argument to testpmd will be replaced
- with ``initial-lcore``. The old ``master-lcore`` argument
- will produce a runtime notification in 20.11 release, and
- be removed completely in a future release.
-
-* eal: The terms blacklist and whitelist to describe devices used
- by DPDK will be replaced in the 20.11 relase.
- This will apply to command line arguments as well as macros.
-
- The macro ``RTE_DEV_BLACKLISTED`` will be replaced with ``RTE_DEV_EXCLUDED``
- and ``RTE_DEV_WHITELISTED`` will be replaced with ``RTE_DEV_INCLUDED``
- ``RTE_BUS_SCAN_BLACKLIST`` and ``RTE_BUS_SCAN_WHITELIST`` will be
- replaced with ``RTE_BUS_SCAN_EXCLUDED`` and ``RTE_BUS_SCAN_INCLUDED``
- respectively. Likewise ``RTE_DEVTYPE_BLACKLISTED_PCI`` and
- ``RTE_DEVTYPE_WHITELISTED_PCI`` will be replaced with
- ``RTE_DEVTYPE_EXCLUDED`` and ``RTE_DEVTYPE_INCLUDED``.
-
- The old macros will be marked as deprecated in 20.11 and any
- usage will cause a compile warning. They will be removed in
- a future release.
-
- The command line arguments to ``rte_eal_init`` will change from
- ``-b, --pci-blacklist`` to ``-x, --exclude`` and
- ``-w, --pci-whitelist`` to ``-i, --include``.
- The old command line arguments will continue to be accepted in 20.11
- but will cause a runtime warning message. The old arguments will
- be removed in a future release.
