* eal: The function ``rte_eal_remote_launch`` will return new error codes
after read or write error on the pipe, instead of calling ``rte_panic``.
-* eal: The ``lcore_config`` struct and global symbol will be made private to
- remove it from the externally visible ABI and allow it to be updated in the
- future.
-
* eal: both declaring and identifying devices will be streamlined in v18.11.
New functions will appear to query a specific port from buses, classes of
device and device drivers. Device declaration will be made coherent with the
+ ``rte_eal_devargs_type_count``
-* eal: The ``rte_cpu_check_supported`` function has been deprecated since
- v17.08 and will be removed.
-
-* eal: The ``rte_malloc_virt2phy`` function has been deprecated and replaced
- by ``rte_malloc_virt2iova`` since v17.11 and will be removed.
-
-* vfio: removal of ``rte_vfio_dma_map`` and ``rte_vfio_dma_unmap`` APIs which
- have been replaced with ``rte_dev_dma_map`` and ``rte_dev_dma_unmap``
- functions. The due date for the removal targets DPDK 20.02.
-
-* pci: Several exposed functions are misnamed.
- The following functions are deprecated starting from v17.11 and are replaced:
-
- - ``eal_parse_pci_BDF`` replaced by ``rte_pci_addr_parse``
- - ``eal_parse_pci_DomBDF`` replaced by ``rte_pci_addr_parse``
- - ``rte_eal_compare_pci_addr`` replaced by ``rte_pci_addr_cmp``
+* eal: The ``rte_logs`` struct and global symbol will be made private to
+ remove it from the externally visible ABI and allow it to be updated in the
+ future.
* dpaa2: removal of ``rte_dpaa2_memsegs`` structure which has been replaced
by a pa-va search library. This structure was earlier being used for holding
structure would be made internal (or removed if all dependencies are cleared)
in future releases.
-* net: The Ethernet address and header definitions will change
- attributes. The Ethernet address struct will no longer be marked as
- packed since the packed attribute is meaningless on a byte
- array. The Ethernet header will be marked as aligned on a 2-byte
- boundary and will no longer have the packed attribute. This allows
- for efficient access on CPU architectures where unaligned access is
- expensive. These changes should not impact normal usage because drivers
- naturally align the Ethernet header on receive and all known
- encapsulations preserve the alignment of the header.
-
-* ethdev: The function ``rte_eth_dev_count`` will be removed in DPDK 20.02.
- It is replaced by the function ``rte_eth_dev_count_avail``.
- If the intent is to iterate over ports, ``RTE_ETH_FOREACH_*`` macros
- are better port iterators.
-
* 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,
negative errno values to indicate various error conditions (e.g.
invalid port ID, unsupported operation, failed operation):
- - ``rte_eth_dev_info_get``
- - ``rte_eth_promiscuous_enable`` and ``rte_eth_promiscuous_disable``
- - ``rte_eth_allmulticast_enable`` and ``rte_eth_allmulticast_disable``
- - ``rte_eth_link_get`` and ``rte_eth_link_get_nowait``
- ``rte_eth_dev_stop``
- ``rte_eth_dev_close``
- - ``rte_eth_xstats_reset``
- - ``rte_eth_macaddr_get``
- - ``rte_eth_dev_owner_delete``
* ethdev: New offload flags ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_RSS_HASH`` and
``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK`` will be added in 19.11.
