targets release 17.05.
* The VDEV subsystem will be converted as driver of the new bus model.
- It will imply some EAL API changes in 17.05.
+ It may imply some EAL API changes in 17.08.
* The struct ``rte_pci_driver`` is planned to be removed from
- ``rte_cryptodev_driver`` in 17.05.
+ ``rte_cryptodev_driver`` and ``rte_eventdev_driver`` in 17.08.
* ethdev: An API change is planned for 17.08 for the function
``_rte_eth_dev_callback_process``. In 17.08 the function will return an ``int``
instead of ``void`` and a fourth parameter ``void *ret_param`` will be added.
-* ethdev: for 17.08 it is planned to deprecate the following nine rte_eth_dev_*
- functions and move them into the ixgbe PMD:
-
- ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_init``, ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_state_set``,
- ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_state_show``, ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_store``,
- ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_event_show``, ``rte_eth_dev_wd_timeout_store``,
- ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_wd_timeout_show``, ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_ver_show``,
- ``rte_eth_dev_bypass_wd_reset``.
-
- The following fields will be removed from ``struct eth_dev_ops``:
-
- ``bypass_init_t``, ``bypass_state_set_t``, ``bypass_state_show_t``,
- ``bypass_event_set_t``, ``bypass_event_show_t``, ``bypass_wd_timeout_set_t``,
- ``bypass_wd_timeout_show_t``, ``bypass_ver_show_t``, ``bypass_wd_reset_t``.
-
- The functions will be renamed to the following, and moved to the ``ixgbe`` PMD:
-
- ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_init``, ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_state_set``,
- ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_state_show``, ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_event_set``,
- ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_event_show``, ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_timeout_set``,
- ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_timeout_show``, ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_ver_show``,
- ``rte_pmd_ixgbe_bypass_wd_reset``.
-
* The mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT are deprecated and
are respectively replaced by PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED and
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED, that are better described. The old flags and
- their behavior will be kept until 17.02 and will be removed in 17.05.
+ their behavior will be kept until 17.05 and will be removed in 17.08.
* ethdev: Tx offloads will no longer be enabled by default in 17.08.
Instead, the ``rte_eth_txmode`` structure will be extended with
Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
+* cryptodev: All PMD names definitions will be moved to the individual PMDs
+ in 17.08.
+
+* cryptodev: The following changes will be done in in 17.08:
+
+ - the device type enumeration ``rte_cryptodev_type`` will be removed
+ - the following structures will be changed: ``rte_cryptodev_session``,
+ ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session``, ``rte_cryptodev_info``, ``rte_cryptodev``
+ - the function ``rte_cryptodev_count_devtype`` will be replaced by
+ ``rte_cryptodev_device_count_by_driver``
+
+* cryptodev: API changes are planned for 17.08 for the sessions management
+ to make it agnostic to the underlying devices, removing coupling with
+ crypto PMDs, so a single session can be used on multiple devices.
+
+ - ``struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session``, dev_id, dev_type will be removed,
+ _private field changed to the indirect array of private data pointers of
+ all supported devices
+
+ An API of followed functions will be changed to allow operate on multiple
+ devices with one session:
+
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create``
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_free``
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_pool_create``
+
+ While dev_id will not be stored in the ``struct rte_cryptodev_sym_session``,
+ directly, the change of followed API is required:
+
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session``
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_detach_sym_session``
+
+* cryptodev: the structures ``rte_crypto_op``, ``rte_crypto_sym_op``
+ and ``rte_crypto_sym_xform`` will be restructured in 17.08,
+ for correctness and improvement.
+
* crypto/scheduler: the following two functions are deprecated starting
from 17.05 and will be removed in 17.08:
- ``rte_crpytodev_scheduler_mode_get``, replaced by ``rte_cryptodev_scheduler_mode_get``
- ``rte_crpytodev_scheduler_mode_set``, replaced by ``rte_cryptodev_scheduler_mode_set``
+
+* librte_table: The ``key_mask`` parameter will be added to all the hash tables
+ that currently do not have it, as well as to the hash compute function prototype.
+ The non-"do-sig" versions of the hash tables will be removed
+ (including the ``signature_offset`` parameter)
+ and the "do-sig" versions renamed accordingly.
