Accompanying this evolution, device command line parameters will thus support
explicit bus definition in a device declaration.
-* igb_uio: iomem mapping and sysfs files created for iomem and ioport in
- igb_uio will be removed, because we are able to detect these from what Linux
- has exposed, like the way we have done with uio-pci-generic. This change
- targets release 17.05.
-
* The VDEV subsystem will be converted as driver of the new bus model.
It may imply some EAL API changes in 17.08.
* The struct ``rte_pci_driver`` is planned to be removed from
``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 17.05 and will be removed in 17.08.
-* ethdev: Tx offloads will no longer be enabled by default in 17.08.
+* ethdev: Tx offloads will no longer be enabled by default in 17.11.
Instead, the ``rte_eth_txmode`` structure will be extended with
bit field to enable each Tx offload.
Besides of making the Rx/Tx configuration API more consistent for the
Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
-* crypto/scheduler: the following two functions are deprecated starting
- from 17.05 and will be removed in 17.08:
+* 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.
+
+* eal: the following function is deprecated starting from 17.08 and will
+ be removed in 17.11:
+
+ - ``rte_eal_parse_devargs_str``, replaced by ``rte_eal_devargs_parse``
+
+* cryptodev: the following function is deprecated starting from 17.08 and will
+ be removed in 17.11:
- - ``rte_crpytodev_scheduler_mode_get``, replaced by ``rte_cryptodev_scheduler_mode_get``
- - ``rte_crpytodev_scheduler_mode_set``, replaced by ``rte_cryptodev_scheduler_mode_set``
+ - ``rte_cryptodev_create_vdev``
