specified lengths into the buffers allocated from the specified
memory pools. The backward compatibility to existing API is preserved.
-* ethdev: The ``struct rte_eth_rxq_info`` will be modified to include
- a new optional field, indicating the buffer size used in receiving packets
- for HW. This change is planned for 20.11. For more details:
- https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-July/176135.html.
-
* ethdev: ``rx_descriptor_done`` dev_ops and ``rte_eth_rx_descriptor_done``
will be removed in 21.11.
Existing ``rte_eth_rx_descriptor_status`` and ``rte_eth_tx_descriptor_status``
following the IPv6 header, as proposed in RFC
https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-August/177257.html.
-* ethdev: Some internal APIs for driver usage are exported in the .map file.
- Now DPDK has ``__rte_internal`` marker so we can mark internal APIs and move
- them to the INTERNAL block in .map. Although these APIs are internal it will
- break the ABI checks, that is why change is planned for 20.11.
- The list of internal APIs are mainly ones listed in ``rte_ethdev_driver.h``.
-
-* pmd_dpaa: The API ``rte_pmd_dpaa_set_tx_loopback`` will have extended
- ``port_id`` definition from ``uint8_t`` to ``uint16_t``.
-
* vhost: Vhost-user dequeue zero-copy support will be removed in 20.11.
The only known user is OVS where the feature is still experimental,
and has not received any update for 2.5 years.
