ABI Changes
-----------
to be transparent for both users (no changes in user app is required) and
PMD developers (no changes in PMD is required).
+* vhost: rename ``struct vhost_device_ops`` to ``struct rte_vhost_device_ops``.
+
* cryptodev: Made ``rte_cryptodev``, ``rte_cryptodev_data`` private
structures internal to DPDK. ``rte_cryptodevs`` can't be accessed directly
by user any more. While it is an ABI breakage, this change is intended
* eventdev: Re-arranged fields in ``rte_event_timer`` to remove holes.
+* ip_frag: Increased default value for config parameter
+ ``RTE_LIBRTE_IP_FRAG_MAX_FRAG`` from ``4`` to ``8``.
+ This parameter controls maximum number of fragments per packet
+ in IP reassembly table. Increasing this value from ``4`` to ``8``
+ will allow to cover common case with jumbo packet size of ``9KB``
+ and fragments with default frame size ``(1500B)``.
