CXGBE VF Poll Mode Driver has been added to run DPDK over Chelsio
T5/T6 NIC VF instances.
+* **Updated mlx5 driver.**
+
+ Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
+
+ * Introduced Multi-packet Rx. With it, achieved 100Gb/sec with 64B frames.
+ * Supported to be run by non-root users given reduced set of capabilities
+ CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_NET_RAW and CAP_IPC_LOCK.
+ * Supported TSO and checksum for generic UDP and IP tunnels.
+ * Supported inner checksum and RSS for GRE, VXLAN-GPE, MPLSoGRE
+ and MPLSoUDP tunnels.
+ * Accommodate to the new memory hotplug model.
+ * Supported non virtually contiguous mempools.
+ * Supported MAC adding along with allmulti and promiscuous modes from VF.
+ * Supported Mellanox BlueField SoC device.
+ * Supported PMD defaults for queue number and depth to improve the out
+ of the box performance.
+
+* **Updated mlx4 driver.**
+
+ Updated the mlx4 driver including the following changes:
+
+ * Supported to be run by non-root users given reduced set of capabilities
+ CAP_NET_ADMIN, CAP_NET_RAW and CAP_IPC_LOCK.
+ * Supported CRC strip toggling.
+ * Accommodate to the new memory hotplug model.
+ * Supported non virtually contiguous mempools.
+
* **Updated Solarflare network PMD.**
Updated the sfc_efx driver including the following changes:
* **Added a new compression poll mode driver using Intels ISA-L.**
Added the new ``ISA-L`` compression driver, for compression and decompression
- operations in software.
+ operations in software. See the :doc:`../compressdevs/isal` compression driver
+ guide for details on this new driver.
* **Added the Event Timer Adapter Library.**
enqueue/dequeue crypto operations to/from cryptodev as events scheduled
by an event device.
+* **Added Ifpga Bus, a generic Intel FPGA Bus library.**
+
+ The Ifpga Bus library provides support for integrating any Intel FPGA device with
+ the DPDK framework. It provides Intel FPGA Partial Bit Stream AFU (Accelerated
+ Function Unit) scan and drivers probe.
+
+* **Added IFPGA (Intel FPGA) Rawdev Driver.**
+
+ Added a new Rawdev driver called IFPGA(Intel FPGA) Rawdev Driver, which cooperates
+ with OPAE (Open Programmable Acceleration Engine) share code provides common FPGA
+ management ops for FPGA operation.
+
+ See the :doc:`../rawdevs/ifpga_rawdev` programmer's guide for more details.
+
* **Added DPAA2 QDMA Driver (in rawdev).**
The DPAA2 QDMA is an implementation of the rawdev API, that provide means
stats/xstats on shared memory from secondary process, and also pdump packets on
those virtual devices.
+* **Added the BPF Library.**
+
+ The BPF Library provides the ability to load and execute
+ Enhanced Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) within user-space dpdk application.
+ Also it introduces basic framework to load/unload BPF-based filters
+ on eth devices (right now only via SW RX/TX callbacks).
+ It also adds dependency on libelf.
+
API Changes
-----------
* ``rte_flow_create()`` API count action now requires the ``struct rte_flow_action_count``.
* ``rte_flow_query()`` API parameter changed from action type to action structure.
+* ethdev: changes to offload API
+
+ A pure per-port offloading isn't requested to be repeated in [rt]x_conf->offloads to
+ ``rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup()``. Now any offloading enabled in ``rte_eth_dev_configure()``
+ can't be disabled by ``rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup()``. Any new added offloading which has
+ not been enabled in ``rte_eth_dev_configure()`` and is requested to be enabled in
+ ``rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup()`` must be per-queue type, otherwise trigger an error log.
+
+* ethdev: runtime queue setup:
+
+ ``rte_eth_rx_queue_setup`` and ``rte_eth_tx_queue_setup`` can be called after
+ ``rte_eth_dev_start`` if device support runtime queue setup. Device driver can
+ expose this capability through ``rte_eth_dev_info_get``. A Rx or Tx queue be
+ setup at runtime need to be started explicitly by ``rte_eth_dev_rx_queue_start``
+ or ``rte_eth_dev_tx_queue_start``.
+
