DPDK Release 17.11
==================
-.. **Read this first.**
+New Features
+------------
+
+* **Extended port_id range from uint8_t to uint16_t.**
- The text in the sections below explains how to update the release notes.
+ Increased the ``port_id`` range from 8 bits to 16 bits in order to support
+ more than 256 ports in DPDK. All ethdev APIs which have ``port_id`` as
+ parameter have been changed.
- Use proper spelling, capitalization and punctuation in all sections.
+* **Modified the return type of rte_eth_stats_reset.**
- Variable and config names should be quoted as fixed width text:
- ``LIKE_THIS``.
+ Changed return type of ``rte_eth_stats_reset`` from ``void`` to ``int`` so
+ that the caller can determine whether a device supports the operation or not
+ and if the operation was carried out.
- Build the docs and view the output file to ensure the changes are correct::
+* **Added a new driver for Marvell Armada 7k/8k devices.**
- make doc-guides-html
+ Added the new ``mrvl`` net driver for Marvell Armada 7k/8k devices. See the
+ :doc:`../nics/mvpp2` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
- xdg-open build/doc/html/guides/rel_notes/release_17_11.html
+* **Updated mlx4 driver.**
+ Updated the mlx4 driver including the following changes:
-New Features
-------------
+ * Isolated mode (rte_flow) can now be enabled anytime, not only during
+ initial device configuration.
+ * Flow rules now support up to 4096 priority levels usable at will by
+ applications.
+ * Enhanced error message to help debugging invalid/unsupported flow rules.
+ * Flow rules matching all multicast and promiscuous traffic are now allowed.
+ * No more software restrictions on flow rules with the RSS action, their
+ configuration is much more flexible.
+ * Significantly reduced memory footprint for Rx and Tx queue objects.
+ * While supported, UDP RSS is temporarily disabled due to a remaining issue
+ with its support in the Linux kernel.
+ * The new RSS implementation does not automatically spread traffic according
+ to the inner packet of VXLAN frames anymore, only the outer one (like
+ other PMDs).
+ * Partial (Tx only) support for secondary processes was broken and had to be
+ removed.
+ * Refactored driver to get rid of dependency on the components provided by
+ Mellanox OFED and instead rely on the current and public rdma-core
+ package and Linux version from now on.
+ * Removed compile-time limitation on number of device instances the PMD
+ can support.
+
+* **Updated mlx5 driver.**
+
+ Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
+
+ * Enabled the PMD to run on top of upstream Linux kernel and rdma-core
+ libs, removing the dependency on specific Mellanox OFED libraries.
+ * Improved PMD latency performance.
+ * Improved PMD memory footprint.
+ * Added support for vectorized Rx/Tx burst for ARMv8.
+ * Added support for secondary process.
+ * Added support for flow counters.
+ * Added support for Rx hardware timestamp offload.
+ * Added support for device removal event.
+
+* **Added SoftNIC PMD.**
+
+ Added a new SoftNIC PMD. This virtual device provides applications with
+ software fallback support for traffic management.

+ The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for:
- In a specific configuration of multi-thread unsafe services and service
- cores, a service core previously did not correctly release the atomic lock
- on the service. This would result in the cores polling the service, but it
- looked like another thread was executing the service callback. The logic for
- atomic locking of the services has been fixed and refactored for readability.
+ * The DES CBC algorithm.
+ * The DES DOCSIS BPI algorithm.

-Known Issues
-------------
+* **Add new benchmarking mode to dpdk-test-crypto-perf application.**
+
+ Added a new "PMD cyclecount" benchmark mode to the ``dpdk-test-crypto-perf``
+ application to display a detailed breakdown of CPU cycles used by hardware
+ acceleration.
+
+* **Added the Security Offload Library.**
+
+ Added an experimental library - ``rte_security``. This provide security APIs
+ for protocols like IPsec using inline ipsec offload to ethernet devices or
+ full protocol offload with lookaside crypto devices.
+
+ See the :doc:`../prog_guide/rte_security` section of the DPDK Programmers
+ Guide document for more information.
+
+* **Updated the DPAA2_SEC crypto driver to support rte_security.**
+
+ Updated the ``dpaa2_sec`` crypto PMD to support ``rte_security`` lookaside
+ protocol offload for IPsec.

+
+ Updated ixgbe ethernet PMD to support ``rte_security`` inline IPsec offload.
+
+* **Updated i40e driver to support GTP-C/GTP-U.**
+
+ Updated i40e PMD to support GTP-C/GTP-U with GTP-C/GTP-U supporting
+ profiles which can be programmed by dynamic device personalization (DDP)
+ process.
+
+* **Added the i40e ethernet driver to support queue region feature.**
+
+ This feature enable queue regions configuration for RSS in PF,
+ so that different traffic classes or different packet
+ classification types can be separated into different queues in
+ different queue regions.
+
+* **Updated ipsec-secgw application to support rte_security.**
+
+ Updated the ``ipsec-secgw`` sample application to support ``rte_security``
+ actions for ipsec inline and full protocol offload using lookaside crypto
+ offload.
+
+* **Added IOMMU support to libvhost-user**
+
+ Implemented device IOTLB in the Vhost-user backend, and enabled Virtio's
+ IOMMU feature. The feature is disabled by default, and can be enabled by
+ setting ``RTE_VHOST_USER_IOMMU_SUPPORT`` flag at vhost device registration
+ time.
+
+* **Added the Event Ethernet Adapter Library.**
+
+ Added the Event Ethernet Adapter library. This library provides APIs for
+ eventdev applications to configure the ethdev for eventdev packet flow.
+
+* **Updated DPAA2 Event PMD for the Event Ethernet Adapter.**
+
+ Added support for the eventdev ethernet adapter for DPAA2.
-.. This section should contain new known issues in this release. Sample format:
+* **Added Membership library (rte_member).**
- * **Add title in present tense with full stop.**
+ Added a new data structure library called the Membership Library.
- Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the known issue in the present
- tense. Add information on any known workarounds.
+ The Membership Library is an extension and generalization of a traditional
+ filter (for example Bloom Filter) structure that has multiple usages in a
+ wide variety of workloads and applications. In general, the Membership
+ Library is a data structure that provides a "set-summary" and responds to
+ set-membership queries whether a certain member belongs to a set(s).
- This section is a comment. do not overwrite or remove it.
- Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
- =========================================================
+ The library provides APIs for DPDK applications to insert a new member,
+ delete an existing member, and query the existence of a member in a given
+ set, or a group of sets. For the case of a group of sets the library will
+ return not only whether the element has been inserted in one of the sets but
+ also which set it belongs to.
+
+ See the :doc:`../prog_guide/member_lib` documentation in the Programmers
+ Guide, for more information.
+
+* **Added the Generic Segmentation Offload Library.**
+
+ Added the Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) library to enable
+ applications to split large packets (e.g. MTU is 64KB) into small
+ ones (e.g. MTU is 1500B). Supported packet types are:
+
+ * TCP/IPv4 packets.
+ * VxLAN packets, which must have an outer IPv4 header, and contain
+ an inner TCP/IPv4 packet.
+ * GRE packets, which must contain an outer IPv4 header, and inner
+ TCP/IPv4 headers.
+
+ The GSO library doesn't check if the input packets have correct
+ checksums, and doesn't update checksums for output packets.
+ Additionally, the GSO library doesn't process IP fragmented packets.
+
+* **Added the Flow Classification Library.**
+
+ Added an experimental Flow Classification library to provide APIs for DPDK
+ applications to classify an input packet by matching it against a set of
+ flow rules. It uses the ``librte_table`` API to manage the flow rules.
+
+
+Resolved Issues
+---------------
+
+* **Service core fails to call service callback due to atomic lock**
+
+ In a specific configuration of multi-thread unsafe services and service
+ cores, a service core previously did not correctly release the atomic lock
+ on the service. This would result in the cores polling the service, but it
+ looked like another thread was executing the service callback. The logic for
+ atomic locking of the services has been fixed and refactored for readability.
API Changes
-----------
-.. This section should contain API changes. Sample format:
+* **Ethdev device name length increased.**
+
+ The size of internal device name has been increased to 64 characters
+ to allow for storing longer bus specific names.
- * Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the API change. Use fixed width
- quotes for ``rte_function_names`` or ``rte_struct_names``. Use the past
- tense.
+* **Removed the Ethdev RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE flag.**
- This section is a comment. do not overwrite or remove it.
- Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
- =========================================================
+ Removed the Ethdev ``RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE`` flag. This flag is not
+ required anymore, with the new hotplug implementation. It has been removed
+ from the ether library. Its semantics are now expressed at the bus and PMD
+ level.
* **Service cores API updated for usability**
- The service cores API has been changed, removing pointers from the API
- where possible, instead using integer IDs to identify each service. This
- simplifed application code, aids debugging, and provides better
+ The service cores API has been changed, removing pointers from the API where
+ possible, and instead using integer IDs to identify each service. This
+ simplifies application code, aids debugging, and provides better
encapsulation. A summary of the main changes made is as follows:
* Services identified by ID not by ``rte_service_spec`` pointer
* Reduced API surface by using ``set`` functions instead of enable/disable
* Reworked ``rte_service_register`` to provide the service ID to registrar
- * Rework start and stop APIs into ``rte_service_runstate_set``
- * Added API to set runstate of service implementation to indicate readyness
+ * Reworked start and stop APIs into ``rte_service_runstate_set``
+ * Added API to set runstate of service implementation to indicate readiness
+
+* **The following changes have been made in the mempool library**
+
+ * Moved ``flags`` datatype from ``int`` to ``unsigned int`` for
+ ``rte_mempool``.
+ * Removed ``__rte_unused int flag`` param from ``rte_mempool_generic_put``
+ and ``rte_mempool_generic_get`` API.
+ * Added ``flags`` param in ``rte_mempool_xmem_size`` and
+ ``rte_mempool_xmem_usage``.
+ * ``rte_mem_phy2mch`` was used in Xen dom0 to obtain the physical address;
+ remove this API as Xen dom0 support was removed.
+
+* **Added IOVA aliases related to physical address handling.**
+
+ Some data types, structure members and functions related to physical address
+ handling are deprecated and have new aliases with IOVA wording. For example:
+
+ * ``phys_addr_t`` can be often replaced by ``rte_iova_t`` of same size.
+ * ``RTE_BAD_PHYS_ADDR`` is often replaced by ``RTE_BAD_IOVA`` of same value.
+ * ``rte_memseg.phys_addr`` is aliased with ``rte_memseg.iova_addr``.
+ * ``rte_mem_virt2phy()`` can often be replaced by ``rte_mem_virt2iova``.
+ * ``rte_malloc_virt2phy`` is aliased with ``rte_malloc_virt2iova``.
+ * ``rte_memzone.phys_addr`` is aliased with ``rte_memzone.iova``.
+ * ``rte_mempool_objhdr.physaddr`` is aliased with
+ ``rte_mempool_objhdr.iova``.
+ * ``rte_mempool_memhdr.phys_addr`` is aliased with
+ ``rte_mempool_memhdr.iova``.
+ * ``rte_mempool_virt2phy()`` can be replaced by ``rte_mempool_virt2iova()``.
+ * ``rte_mempool_populate_phys*()`` are aliased with
+ ``rte_mempool_populate_iova*()``
+ * ``rte_mbuf.buf_physaddr`` is aliased with ``rte_mbuf.buf_iova``.
+ * ``rte_mbuf_data_dma_addr*()`` are aliased with ``rte_mbuf_data_iova*()``.
+ * ``rte_pktmbuf_mtophys*`` are aliased with ``rte_pktmbuf_iova*()``.
+
+* **PCI bus API moved outside of the EAL**
+
+ The PCI bus previously implemented within the EAL has been moved.
+ A first part has been added as an RTE library providing PCI helpers to
+ parse device locations or other such utilities.
+ A second part consisting of the actual bus driver has been moved to its
+ proper subdirectory, without changing its functionalities.
+
+ As such, several PCI-related functions are not exposed by the EAL anymore:
+
+ * ``rte_pci_detach``
+ * ``rte_pci_dump``
+ * ``rte_pci_ioport_map``
+ * ``rte_pci_ioport_read``
+ * ``rte_pci_ioport_unmap``
+ * ``rte_pci_ioport_write``
+ * ``rte_pci_map_device``
+ * ``rte_pci_probe``
+ * ``rte_pci_probe_one``
+ * ``rte_pci_read_config``
+ * ``rte_pci_register``
+ * ``rte_pci_scan``
+ * ``rte_pci_unmap_device``
+ * ``rte_pci_unregister``
+ * ``rte_pci_write_config``
+
+ These functions are made available either as part of ``librte_pci`` or
+ ``librte_bus_pci``.
+
+* **Moved vdev bus APIs outside of the EAL**
+
+ Moved the following APIs from ``librte_eal`` to ``librte_bus_vdev``:
+
+ * ``rte_vdev_init``
+ * ``rte_vdev_register``
+ * ``rte_vdev_uninit``
+ * ``rte_vdev_unregister``
+
+* **Add return value to stats_get dev op API**
+
+ The ``stats_get`` dev op API return value has been changed to be int.
+ In this way PMDs can return an error value in case of failure at stats
+ getting process time.
+
+* **Modified the rte_cryptodev_allocate_driver function.**
+
+ Modified the ``rte_cryptodev_allocate_driver()`` function in the cryptodev
+ library. An extra parameter ``struct cryptodev_driver *crypto_drv`` has been
+ added.
+
+* **Removed virtual device bus specific functions from librte_cryptodev.**
+
+ The functions ``rte_cryptodev_vdev_parse_init_params()`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_vdev_pmd_init()`` have been removed from librte_cryptodev
+ and have been replaced by non bus specific functions
+ ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_parse_input_args()`` and ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_create()``.
+
+ The ``rte_cryptodev_create_vdev()`` function was removed to avoid the
+ dependency on vdev in librte_cryptodev; instead, users can call
+ ``rte_vdev_init()`` directly.
+
+* **Removed PCI device bus specific functions from librte_cryptodev.**
+
+ The functions ``rte_cryptodev_pci_generic_probe()`` and
+ ``rte_cryptodev_pci_generic_remove()`` have been removed from librte_cryptodev
+ and have been replaced by non bus specific functions
+ ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_create()`` and ``rte_cryptodev_pmd_destroy()``.
+
+* **Removed deprecated functions to manage log level or type.**
+
+ The functions ``rte_set_log_level()``, ``rte_get_log_level()``,
+ ``rte_set_log_type()`` and ``rte_get_log_type()`` have been removed.
+
+ They are respectively replaced by ``rte_log_set_global_level()``,
+ ``rte_log_get_global_level()``, ``rte_log_set_level()`` and
+ ``rte_log_get_level()``.
+
+* **Removed mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT.**
+
+ The ``mbuf`` flags ``PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT`` and ``PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT`` have
+ been removed since their behavior was not properly described.
+
+* **Added mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN and PKT_RX_QINQ.**
+
+ Two ``mbuf`` flags have been added to indicate that the VLAN
+ identifier has been saved in the ``mbuf`` structure. For instance:
+
+ - If VLAN is not stripped and TCI is saved: ``PKT_RX_VLAN``
+ - If VLAN is stripped and TCI is saved: ``PKT_RX_VLAN | PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED``
+
+* **Modified the vlan_offload_set_t function prototype in the ethdev library.**
+
+ Modified the ``vlan_offload_set_t`` function prototype in the ethdev
+ library. The return value has been changed from ``void`` to ``int`` so the
+ caller can determine whether the backing device supports the operation or if
+ the operation was successfully performed.
