This can be used by + applications to have its threads known of DPDK without suffering from the + non-EAL previous limitations in terms of performance. + +* **rte_*mb APIs are updated to use DMB instruction for ARMv8.** + + ARMv8 memory model has been strengthened to require other-multi-copy + atomicity. This allows for using DMB instruction instead of DSB for IO + barriers. rte_*mb APIs, for ARMv8 platforms, are changed to use DMB + instruction to reflect this. + +* **Added support for RTS and HTS modes into mempool ring driver.** + + Added ability to select new ring synchronisation modes: + ``relaxed tail sync (ring_mt_rts)`` and ``head/tail sync (ring_mt_hts)`` + via mempool ops API. + +* **Added the support for vfio-pci new VF token interface.** + + From Linux 5.7, vfio-pci supports to bind both SR-IOV PF and the created VFs, + it uses a shared VF token (UUID) to represent the collaboration between PF + and VFs. Update DPDK PCI driver to gain the access to the PF and VFs devices + by appending the VF token parameter. + * **Added the RegEx Library, a generic RegEx service library.** Added the RegEx library which provides an API for offload of regular expressions search operations to hardware or software accelerator devices. + Added Mellanox RegEx PMD, allowing to offload RegEx searches. + +* **Added vhost async data path APIs.** + + 4 new APIs have been added to enable vhost async data path, including: + + * Async device channel register/unregister APIs + * Async packets enqueue/completion APIs (only split ring was implemented) + +* **Added eCPRI protocol support in rte_flow.** + + The ``ECPRI`` item has been added to support eCPRI packet offloading for + 5G network. + +* **Introduced send packet scheduling on the timestamps.** + + Added the new mbuf dynamic field and flag to provide timestamp on what packet + transmitting can be synchronized.
