-* Broadcom bnxt PMD: NetXtreme devices belonging to the ``BCM573xx and
- BCM5740x`` families will no longer be supported as of DPDK 21.02.
- Specifically the support for the following Broadcom PCI IDs will be removed
- from the release: ``0x16c8, 0x16c9, 0x16ca, 0x16ce, 0x16cf, 0x16df,``
- ``0x16d0, 0x16d1, 0x16d2, 0x16d4, 0x16d5, 0x16e7, 0x16e8, 0x16e9``.
-
-* sched: To allow more traffic classes, flexible mapping of pipe queues to
- traffic classes, and subport level configuration of pipes and queues
- changes will be made to macros, data structures and API functions defined
- in "rte_sched.h". These changes are aligned to improvements suggested in the
- RFC https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-November/120035.html.
+* ethdev: Items and actions ``PF``, ``VF``, ``PHY_PORT``, ``PORT_ID`` are
+ deprecated as hard-to-use / ambiguous and will be removed in DPDK 22.11.
+
+* ethdev: The use of attributes ``ingress`` / ``egress`` in "transfer" flows
+ is deprecated as ambiguous with respect to the embedded switch. The use of
+ these attributes will become invalid starting from DPDK 22.11.
+
+* vhost: ``rte_vdpa_register_device``, ``rte_vdpa_unregister_device``,
+ ``rte_vhost_host_notifier_ctrl`` and ``rte_vdpa_relay_vring_used`` vDPA
+ driver interface will be marked as internal in DPDK v21.11.
+
+* vhost: rename ``struct vhost_device_ops`` to ``struct rte_vhost_device_ops``
+ in DPDK v21.11.
+
+* vhost: The experimental tags of ``rte_vhost_driver_get_protocol_features``,
+ ``rte_vhost_driver_get_queue_num``, ``rte_vhost_crypto_create``,
+ ``rte_vhost_crypto_free``, ``rte_vhost_crypto_fetch_requests``,
+ ``rte_vhost_crypto_finalize_requests``, ``rte_vhost_crypto_set_zero_copy``,
+ ``rte_vhost_va_from_guest_pa``, ``rte_vhost_extern_callback_register``,
+ and ``rte_vhost_driver_set_protocol_features`` functions will be removed
+ and the API functions will be made stable in DPDK 21.11.
+
+* cryptodev: Hide structures ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_asym_session`` to remove unnecessary indirection between
+ session and the private data of session. An opaque pointer can be exposed
+ directly to application which can be attached to the ``rte_crypto_op``.
+
+* security: Hide structure ``rte_security_session`` and expose an opaque
+ pointer for the private data to the application which can be attached
+ to the packet while enqueuing.
+
+* eventdev: The file ``rte_eventdev_pmd.h`` will be renamed to ``eventdev_driver.h``
+ to make the driver interface as internal and the structures ``rte_eventdev_data``,
+ ``rte_eventdev`` and ``rte_eventdevs`` will be moved to a new file named
+ ``rte_eventdev_core.h`` in DPDK 21.11.
+ The ``rte_`` prefix for internal structures and functions will be removed across the
+ library.
+ The experimental eventdev trace APIs and ``rte_event_vector_pool_create``,
+ ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_vector_limits_get`` will be promoted to stable.
+ An 8-byte reserved field will be added to the structure ``rte_event_timer`` to
+ support future extensions.
+
+* eventdev: The structure ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_conf`` will be
+ extended to include ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_event_vector_config`` elements
+ and the function ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_event_vector_config`` will
+ be removed in DPDK 21.11.
+
+ An application can enable event vectorization by passing the desired vector
+ values to the function ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_add`` using
+ the structure ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_add``.
+
+* eventdev: Reserved bytes of ``rte_event_crypto_request`` is a space holder
+ for ``response_info``. Both should be decoupled for better clarity in
+ DPDK 21.11.
+ New space for ``response_info`` can be made by changing
+ ``rte_event_crypto_metadata`` type to structure from union.
