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. - -* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_intr_handle, struct rte_eth_conf - and struct eth_dev_ops to support interrupt mode feature from release 2.1. - Those changes may be enabled in the release 2.1 with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI. - -* The EAL function rte_eal_pci_close_one is deprecated because renamed to - rte_eal_pci_detach. - -* The Macros RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES_MAX and RTE_HASH_KEY_LENGTH_MAX are - deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2. - -* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_mbuf, struct rte_kni_mbuf, - and several ``PKT_RX_`` flags will be removed, to support unified packet type - from release 2.1. Those changes may be enabled in the upcoming release 2.1 - with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI. - -* librte_malloc library has been integrated into librte_eal. The 2.1 release - creates a dummy/empty malloc library to fulfill binaries with dynamic linking - dependencies on librte_malloc.so. Such dummy library will not be created from - release 2.2 so binaries will need to be rebuilt. - * 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fdirmatch, fdirmiss, tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff -* API for flow director filters has been replaced by rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl.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 change is planned to extend the SCTP flow's key input from release 2.1. - The change may be enabled in the release 2.1 with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI. - -* 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. - -* 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_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 + either removed (for input port action handler) or made input-only.
