mempool names have been defined in ``rte_mbuf`` in v18.02. The uses of
``rte_eal_mbuf_default_mempool_ops`` shall be replaced by
``rte_mbuf_best_mempool_ops``.
- The following function is now redundant and it is target to be deprecated
- in 18.05:
+ The following function is deprecated since 18.05, and will be removed
+ in 18.08:
- ``rte_eal_mbuf_default_mempool_ops``
is defined in librte_sched in a non-generic way. The new generic format
will contain: queue ID, traffic class, color. Field size will not change.
+* mbuf: the macro ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()`` will be removed in v18.08 or later and
+ replaced with ``RTE_MBUF_CLONED()`` which is already added in v18.05. As
+ ``EXT_ATTACHED_MBUF`` is newly introduced in v18.05, ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()``
+ can no longer be mutually exclusive with ``RTE_MBUF_DIRECT()`` if the new
+ experimental API ``rte_pktmbuf_attach_extbuf()`` is used. Removal of the macro
+ is to fix this semantic inconsistency.
+
* ethdev: a new Tx and Rx offload API was introduced on 17.11.
In the new API, offloads are divided into per-port and per-queue offloads.
Offloads are disabled by default and enabled per application request.
- removal of ``txq_flags`` field from ``rte_eth_txconf`` struct.
- removal of the offloads bit-field from ``rte_eth_rxmode`` struct.
+* ethdev: A new offloading flag ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` will be added in v18.08,
+ This will replace the usage of not setting ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` flag
+ and will be implemented in PMDs accordingly.
+ In v18.08 both ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` and ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` flags
+ will be available, usage will be:
+ ``CRC_STRIP``: Strip CRC from packet
+ ``KEEP_CRC``: Keep CRC in packet
+ Both ``CRC_STRIP`` & ``KEEP_CRC``: Invalid
+ No flag: Keep CRC in packet
+
+* ethdev: In v18.11 ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` offload flag will be removed, default
+ behavior without any flag will be changed to CRC strip.
+ To keep CRC ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` flag is required.
+ ``KEEP_CRC``: Keep CRC in packet
+ No flag: Strip CRC from packet
+
* ethdev: the legacy filter API, including
``rte_eth_dev_filter_supported()``, ``rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl()`` as well
as filter types MACVLAN, ETHERTYPE, FLEXIBLE, SYN, NTUPLE, TUNNEL, FDIR,
