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.
-* mempool: The functions ``rte_mempool_count`` and ``rte_mempool_free_count``
- will be removed in 17.05.
- They are replaced by ``rte_mempool_avail_count`` and
- ``rte_mempool_in_use_count`` respectively.
-
-* mempool: The functions for single/multi producer/consumer are deprecated
- and will be removed in 17.05.
- It is replaced by ``rte_mempool_generic_get/put`` functions.
-
* 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,
has different feature set, meaning functions like ``rte_vhost_feature_disable``
need be changed. Last, file rte_virtio_net.h will be renamed to rte_vhost.h.
-* kni: Remove :ref:`kni_vhost_backend-label` feature (KNI_VHOST) in 17.05 release.
- :doc:`Vhost Library </prog_guide/vhost_lib>` is currently preferred method for
- guest - host communication. Just for clarification, this is not to remove KNI
- or VHOST feature, but KNI_VHOST which is a KNI feature enabled via a compile
- time option, and disabled by default.
-
* ABI changes are planned for 17.05 in the ``rte_cryptodev_ops`` structure.
A pointer to a rte_cryptodev_config structure will be added to the
function prototype ``cryptodev_configure_t``, as a new parameter.
