Removed Items
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* eal: The lcore state ``FINISHED`` is removed from
+ the ``enum rte_lcore_state_t``.
+ The lcore state ``WAIT`` is enough to represent the same state.
+
+* eal: Made ``rte_intr_handle`` structure definition hidden.
+
* kvargs: The experimental function ``rte_kvargs_strcmp()`` has been
removed. Its usages have been replaced by a new function
``rte_kvargs_get_with_value()``.
+* cmdline: ``cmdline_stdin_exit()`` now frees the ``cmdline`` structure.
+ Calls to ``cmdline_free()`` after it need to be deleted from applications.
+
+* cmdline: Made ``cmdline`` structure definition hidden on Linux and FreeBSD.
+
+* cmdline: Made ``rdline`` structure definition hidden. Functions are added
+ to dynamically allocate and free it, and to access user data in callbacks.
+
* mempool: Added ``RTE_MEMPOOL_F_NON_IO`` flag to give a hint to DPDK components
that objects from this pool will not be used for device IO (e.g. DMA).
* mempool: The mempool API macros ``MEMPOOL_PG_*`` are deprecated and
will be removed in DPDK 22.11.
+* mbuf: The mbuf offload flags ``PKT_*`` are renamed as ``RTE_MBUF_F_*``. A
+ compatibility layer will be kept until DPDK 22.11.
* net: Renamed ``s_addr`` and ``d_addr`` fields of ``rte_ether_hdr`` structure
to ``src_addr`` and ``dst_addr``, respectively.
should be provided, and offset for immediate source bitfield is assigned
from destination one.
+* vhost: ``rte_vdpa_register_device``, ``rte_vdpa_unregister_device``,
+ ``rte_vhost_host_notifier_ctrl`` and ``rte_vdpa_relay_vring_used`` vDPA
+ driver interface are marked as internal.
+
* cryptodev: The API rte_cryptodev_pmd_is_valid_dev is modified to
rte_cryptodev_is_valid_dev as it can be used by the application as
well as PMD to check whether the device is valid or not.
* bbdev: Added device info related to data byte endianness processing.
+* eventdev: Moved memory used by timer adapters to hugepage. This will prevent
+ TLB misses if any and aligns to memory structure of other subsystems.
+
+* fib: Added the ``rib_ext_sz`` field to ``rte_fib_conf`` and ``rte_fib6_conf``
+ so that user can specify the size of the RIB extension inside the FIB.
+
ABI Changes
-----------
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* ethdev: All enums & macros updated to have ``RTE_ETH`` prefix and structures
+ updated to have ``rte_eth`` prefix. DPDK components updated to use new names.
+
* ethdev: Input parameters for ``eth_rx_queue_count_t`` was changed.
Instead of pointer to ``rte_eth_dev`` and queue index, now it accepts pointer
to internal queue data as input parameter. While this change is transparent
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
+ to be transparent for both users (no changes in user app is required) and
+ PMD developers (no changes in PMD is required).
+
* security: ``rte_security_set_pkt_metadata`` and ``rte_security_get_userdata``
routines used by inline outbound and inline inbound security processing were
made inline and enhanced to do simple 64-bit set/get for PMDs that do not
* bbdev: Added capability related to more comprehensive CRC options,
shifting values of the ``enum rte_bbdev_op_ldpcdec_flag_bitmasks``.
+* eventdev: New variables ``rx_event_buf_count`` and ``rx_event_buf_size``
+ were added in structure ``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_stats`` to get additional
+ status.
+
+* eventdev: A new structure ``rte_event_fp_ops`` has been added which is now used
+ by the fastpath inline functions. The structures ``rte_eventdev``,
+ ``rte_eventdev_data`` have been made internal. ``rte_eventdevs[]`` can't be
+ accessed directly by user any more. This change is transparent to both
+ applications and PMDs.
+
+* eventdev: Re-arranged fields in ``rte_event_timer`` to remove holes.
