Removed Items
blacklist/whitelist are removed. Users must use the new
block/allow list arguments.
+* mbuf: Removed offload flag ``PKT_RX_EIP_CKSUM_BAD``.
+ ``PKT_RX_OUTER_IP_CKSUM_BAD`` should be used as a replacement.
+
* ethdev: Removed the port mirroring API. A more fine-grain flow API
action ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SAMPLE`` should be used instead.
The structures ``rte_eth_mirror_conf`` and ``rte_eth_vlan_mirror`` and
``rte_eth_mirror_rule_reset`` along with the associated macros
``ETH_MIRROR_*`` are removed.
+* ethdev: Removed ``rte_eth_rx_descriptor_done`` API function and its
+ driver callback. It is replaced by the more complete function
+ ``rte_eth_rx_descriptor_status``.
+
+* ethdev: Removed deprecated ``shared`` attribute of the
+ ``struct rte_flow_action_count``. Shared counters should be managed
+ using indirect actions API (``rte_flow_action_handle_create`` etc).
+
* i40e: Removed i40evf driver.
iavf already became the default VF driver for i40e devices,
so there is no need to maintain i40evf.
removed. Its usages have been replaced by a new function
``rte_kvargs_get_with_value()``.
+* 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 flags ``MEMPOOL_F_*`` will be deprecated in the future.
+ Newly added flags with ``RTE_MEMPOOL_F_`` prefix should be used instead.
+
+* mempool: Helper macro ``MEMPOOL_HEADER_SIZE()`` is deprecated.
+ The replacement macro ``RTE_MEMPOOL_HEADER_SIZE()`` is internal only.
+
+* mempool: Macro to register mempool driver ``MEMPOOL_REGISTER_OPS()`` is
+ deprecated. Use replacement ``RTE_MEMPOOL_REGISTER_OPS()``.
+
+* mempool: The mempool API macros ``MEMPOOL_PG_*`` are deprecated and
+ will be removed in DPDK 22.11.
+
* net: Renamed ``s_addr`` and ``d_addr`` fields of ``rte_ether_hdr`` structure
to ``src_addr`` and ``dst_addr``, respectively.
+* ethdev: Added items and actions ``PORT_REPRESENTOR``, ``REPRESENTED_PORT`` to
+ flow API.
+
* 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.

events such as soft expiry with IPsec in lookaside mode.
+* cryptodev: The field ``dataunit_len`` of the ``struct rte_crypto_cipher_xform``
+ moved to the end of the structure and extended to ``uint32_t``.
+
+* cryptodev: The structure ``rte_crypto_vec`` was updated to add ``tot_len``
+ field to support total buffer length to facilitate protocol offload case.

ABI Changes
-----------
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=======================================================
+* 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 user, it still counts as an ABI change, as ``eth_rx_queue_count_t``
+ is used by public inline function ``rte_eth_rx_queue_count``.
+
+* ethdev: Made ``rte_eth_dev``, ``rte_eth_dev_data``, ``rte_eth_rxtx_callback``
+ private data structures. ``rte_eth_devices[]`` 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
``rte_security_ipsec_xform`` to allow applications to configure SA soft
and hard expiry limits. Limits can be either in number of packets or bytes.
+* security: The new options ``ip_csum_enable`` and ``l4_csum_enable`` were added
+ in structure ``rte_security_ipsec_sa_options`` to indicate whether inner
+ packet IPv4 header checksum and L4 checksum need to be offloaded to
+ security device.
+
+* security: A new structure ``esn`` was added in structure
+ ``rte_security_ipsec_xform`` to set an initial ESN value. This permits
+ application to start from an arbitrary ESN value for debug and SA lifetime
+ enforcement purposes.
+
+* security: A new structure ``udp`` was added in structure
+ ``rte_security_ipsec_xform`` to allow setting the source and destination ports
+ for UDP encapsulated IPsec traffic.
+
* bbdev: Added capability related to more comprehensive CRC options,
shifting values of the ``enum rte_bbdev_op_ldpcdec_flag_bitmasks``.
