Deprecation Notices ------------------- -* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_dev to support up to - 1024 queues per port. This change will be in release 2.2. - There is no backward compatibility planned from release 2.2. - All binaries will need to be rebuilt from release 2.2. - -* The Macros RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES_MAX and RTE_HASH_KEY_LENGTH_MAX are - deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2. - -* The function rte_jhash2 is deprecated and should be removed. - -* The field mem_location of the rte_lpm structure is deprecated and should be - removed as well as the macros RTE_LPM_HEAP and RTE_LPM_MEMZONE. - * The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats: - imissed, ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss, + ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss, tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff -* API for flow director filters has been replaced by rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl. - Following old API is deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2 without - backward compatibility. - Functions: rte_eth_dev_fdir_*. - Structures: rte_fdir_*, rte_eth_fdir. - Enums: rte_l4type, rte_iptype. - -* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow_ext in order to support - flow director filtering in VF. The release 2.1 does not contain these ABI - changes, but release 2.2 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned. - -* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_filter and - rte_eth_fdir_masks in order to support new flow director modes, - MAC VLAN and Cloud, on x550. The MAC VLAN mode means the MAC and - VLAN are monitored. The Cloud mode is for VxLAN and NVGRE, and - the tunnel type, TNI/VNI, inner MAC and inner VLAN are monitored. - The release 2.2 will contain these changes without backwards compatibility. - -* librte_kni: Functions based on port id are deprecated for a long time and - should be removed (rte_kni_create, rte_kni_get_port_id and rte_kni_info_get). - -* librte_pmd_ring: The deprecated functions rte_eth_ring_pair_create and - rte_eth_ring_pair_attach should be removed. - -* ABI changes are planned for struct virtio_net in order to support vhost-user - multiple queues feature. - It should be integrated in release 2.2 without backward compatibility. - -* The scheduler hierarchy structure (rte_sched_port_hierarchy) will change to - allow for a larger number of subport entries. - The number of available traffic_classes and queues may also change. - The mbuf structure element for sched hierarchy will also change from a single - 32 bit to a 64 bit structure. - * The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of RED actions. -* librte_acl: The structure rte_acl_ipv4vlan_rule is deprecated and should - be removed as well as the associated functions rte_acl_ipv4vlan_add_rules - and rte_acl_ipv4vlan_build. - -* librte_cfgfile: In order to allow for longer names and values, - the value of macros CFG_NAME_LEN and CFG_NAME_VAL will be increased. - Most likely, the new values will be 64 and 256, respectively. - -* librte_port: Macros to access the packet meta-data stored within the - packet buffer will be adjusted to cover the packet mbuf structure as well, - as currently they are able to access any packet buffer location except the - packet mbuf structure. - -* librte_table LPM: A new parameter to hold the table name will be added to - the LPM table parameter structure. - -* librte_table: New functions for table entry bulk add/delete will be added - to the table operations structure. - -* librte_table hash: Key mask parameter will be added to the hash table - parameter structure for 8-byte key and 16-byte key extendible bucket and - LRU tables. - * librte_pipeline: The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port and table action handlers will be updated: the pipeline parameter will be added, the packets mask parameter will be
