* **Added vhost-user live migration support.**
+* **Added multicast promiscuous mode support on VF for ixgbe.**
+
+ Added multicast promiscuous mode support on ixgbe VF driver. So all the VFs
+ can receive the multicast packets.
+
+ Please note if we want to use this promiscuous mode, we need both PF and VF
+ driver to support it. The reason is this VF feature is configured on PF.
+ If use kernel PF driver + dpdk VF driver, make sure kernel PF driver support
+ VF multicast promiscuous mode. If use dpdk PF + dpdk VF, better make sure PF
+ driver is the same version as VF.
+
* **Added support for E-tag on X550.**
E-tag is defined in 802.1br. Please reference
* Support Forwarding E-tag packets to pools based on
GRP and E-CID_base.
+* **Added support for VxLAN & NVGRE checksum off-load on X550.**
+
+ * Added support for VxLAN & NVGRE RX/TX checksum off-load on
+ X550. RX/TX checksum off-load is provided on both inner and
+ outer IP header and TCP header.
+ * Added functions to support VxLAN port configuration. The
+ default VxLAN port number is 4789 but this can be updated
+ programmatically.
+
+* **Added new X550EM_a devices.**
+
+ Added new X550EM_a devices and their mac types, X550EM_a and X550EM_a_vf.
+ Updated the code to use the new devices and mac types.
+
+* **Added x550em_x V2 device support.**
+
+ Only x550em_x V1 was supported before. Now V2 is supported.
+ A mask for V1 and V2 is defined and used to support both.
+
+* **Supported link speed auto-negotiation on X550EM_X**
+
+ Normally the auto-negotiation is supported by FW. SW need not care about
+ that. But on x550em_x, FW doesn't support auto-neg. As the ports of x550em_x
+ are 10G, if we connect the port with a peer which is 1G, the link will always
+ be down.
+ We added the support of auto-neg by SW to avoid this link down issue.
+
+* **Added sw-firmware sync on X550EM_a.**
+
+ Added support for sw-firmware sync for resource sharing.
+ Use the PHY token, shared between sw-fw for PHY access on X550EM_a.
+
+* **Updated the i40e base driver.**
+
+ The i40e base driver was updated with changes including the
+ following:
+
+ * Use Rx control AQ commands to read/write Rx control registers.
+ * Add new X722 device IDs, and removed X710 one was never used.
+ * Expose registers for HASH/FD input set configuring.
+
* **Enabled PCI extended tag for i40e.**
It enabled extended tag by checking and writing corresponding PCI config
space bytes, to boost the performance. In the meanwhile, it deprecated the
legacy way via reading/writing sysfile supported by kernel module igb_uio.
+* **Added i40e support for setting mac addresses.**
+
+* **Added dump of i40e registers and EEPROM.**
+
* **Supported ether type setting of single and double VLAN for i40e**
+* **Added VMDQ DCB mode in i40e.**
+
+ Added support for DCB in VMDQ mode to i40e driver.
+
+* **Added i40e VEB switching support.**
+
+* **Added fm10k Rx interrupt support.**
+
+* **Optimized fm10k Tx.**
+
+ * Free multiple mbufs at a time to reduce freeing mbuf cycles.
+
+* **Handled error flags in fm10k vector Rx.**
+
+ Parse err flags in Rx desc and set error bits in mbuf with vector instructions.
+
+* **Added fm10k FTAG based forwarding support.**
+
+* **Added mlx5 flow director support.**
+
+ Added flow director support (RTE_FDIR_MODE_PERFECT and
+ RTE_FDIR_MODE_PERFECT_MAC_VLAN).
+
+ Only available with Mellanox OFED >= 3.2.
+
+* **Added mlx5 RX VLAN stripping support.**
+
+ Added support for RX VLAN stripping.
+
+ Only available with Mellanox OFED >= 3.2.
+
* **Increased number of next hops for LPM IPv4 to 2^24.**
The next_hop field is extended from 8 bits to 24 bits for IPv4.
Added new Crypto PMD to support null crypto operations in SW.
+* **Added IPsec security gateway example.**
+
+ New application implementing an IPsec Security Gateway.
+
+
Resolved Issues
---------------
Fixed issue in ethdev library that the structure for setting
fdir's mask and flow entry was not consistent in byte ordering.
+* **cxgbe: Fixed crash due to incorrect size allocated for RSS table.**
+
+ Fixed a segfault that occurs when accessing part of port 0's RSS
+ table that gets overwritten by subsequent port 1's part of the RSS
+ table due to incorrect size allocated for each entry in the table.
+
+* **cxgbe: Fixed setting wrong device MTU.**
+
+ Fixed an incorrect device MTU being set due to ethernet header and
+ CRC lengths being added twice.
+
+* **ixgbe: Fixed zeroed VF mac address.**
+
+ Resolved an issue where VF mac address is zeroed out in cases where the VF
+ driver is loaded while the PF interface is down.
+ The solution is to only set it when we get an ACK from the PF.
+
+* **ixgbe: Fixed setting flow director flag twice.**
+
+ Resolved an issue where packets were being dropped when switching to perfect
+ filters mode.
+
+* **ixgbe: Set MDIO speed after MAC reset.**
+
+ The MDIO clock speed must be reconfigured after the MAC reset. The MDIO clock
+ speed becomes invalid, therefore the driver reads invalid PHY register values.
+ The driver now set the MDIO clock speed prior to initializing PHY ops and
+ again after the MAC reset.
+
+* **i40e: Generated MAC address for each VFs.**
+
+ It generates a MAC address for each VFs during PF host initialization,
+ and keeps the VF MAC address the same among different VF launch.
+
+* **i40e: Fixed failure of reading/writing Rx control registers.**
+
+ Fixed i40e issue of failing to read/write rx control registers when
+ under stress with traffic, which might result in application launch
+ failure.
+
+* **mlx5: Fixed possible crash during initialization.**
+
+ A crash could occur when failing to allocate private device context.
+
+* **mlx5: Added port type check.**
+
+ Done to prevent port initialization on non-Ethernet link layers and
+ to report an error.
+
+* **mlx5: Applied VLAN filtering to broadcast and IPv6 multicast flows.**
+
+ Prevented reception of multicast frames outside of configured VLANs.
+
* **aesni_mb: Fixed wrong return value when creating a device.**
cryptodev_aesni_mb_init() was returning the device id of the device created,
Examples
~~~~~~~~
+* **l3fwd-power: Fixed memory leak for non-IP packet.**
+
+ Fixed issue in l3fwd-power where, on receiving packets of types
+ other than IPv4 or IPv6, the mbuf was not released, and caused
+ a memory leak.
+
* **examples/vhost: Fixed frequent mbuf allocation failure.**
vhost-switch often fails to allocate mbuf when dequeue from vring because it
wrongly calculates the number of mbufs needed.
-* **examples/ipsec-secgw: ipsec security gateway**
-
- New application implementing an IPsec Security Gateway.
Other
~~~~~
have been renamed into ``rte_eth_dev_udp_tunnel_port_add`` and
``rte_eth_dev_udp_tunnel_port_delete``.
+* The ``outer_mac`` and ``inner_mac`` fields in structure
+ ``rte_eth_tunnel_filter_conf`` are changed from pointer to struct in order
+ to keep code's readability.
+
* The fields in ethdev structure ``rte_eth_fdir_masks`` were changed
to be in big endian.
