Deprecation Notices
-------------------
+* The EAL function pci_config_space_set is deprecated in release 16.04
+ and will be removed from 16.07.
+ Macros CONFIG_RTE_PCI_CONFIG, CONFIG_RTE_PCI_EXTENDED_TAG and
+ CONFIG_RTE_PCI_MAX_READ_REQUEST_SIZE will be removed.
+ The /sys entries extended_tag and max_read_request_size created by igb_uio
+ will be removed.
+
* The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
-* ABI changes is planned for the reta field in struct rte_eth_rss_reta_entry64
- which handles at most 256 entries (8 bits) while newer NICs support larger
- tables (512 entries).
- It should be integrated in release 2.3.
+* The ethdev structures rte_eth_link, rte_eth_dev_info and rte_eth_conf
+ must be updated to support 100G link and to have a cleaner link speed API.
* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow in order to support
extend flow director's input set. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI
changes, but release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
-* The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
- RED actions.
+* ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_ipv4_flow and rte_eth_ipv6_flow to
+ include more fields to be matched against. The release 2.2 does not
+ contain these ABI changes, but release 2.3 will.
-* librte_pipeline: The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port
- and table action handlers will be updated:
- the pipeline parameter will be added, the packets mask parameter will be
- either removed (for input port action handler) or made input-only.
+* ABI changes are planned for adding four new flow types. This impacts
+ RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes,
+ but release 2.3 will.
-* ABI changes are planned in cmdline buffer size to allow the use of long
- commands (such as RETA update in testpmd). This should impact
- CMDLINE_PARSE_RESULT_BUFSIZE, STR_TOKEN_SIZE and RDLINE_BUF_SIZE.
- It should be integrated in release 2.3.
+* ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_tunnel_filter_conf. Change the fields
+ of outer_mac and inner_mac from pointer to struct in order to keep the
+ code's readability. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes, but
+ release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
+
+* The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
+ RED actions.
