-* **Added support to free hugepages exactly as originally allocated.**
+* **Added support for freeing hugepages exactly as originally allocated.**
Some applications using memory event callbacks (especially for managing
RDMA memory regions) require that memory be freed back to the system
chunks of external memory to be registered with DPDK without adding them to
the malloc heap.
-* **Support for using virtio-user without hugepages**
+* **Added support for using virtio-user without hugepages.**
- The --no-huge mode was augmented to use memfd-backed memory (on systems that
- support memfd), to allow using virtio-user-based NICs without hugepages.

+
+ Version 2.0.0 of the ENA PMD was added with the following additions:
* Added Low Latency Queue v2 (LLQv2). This feature reduces the latency
of the packets by pushing the header directly through the PCI to the
- device. This allows the NIC to start handle packet right after the doorbell
+ device. This allows the NIC to start handle packets right after the doorbell
without waiting for DMA.
* Added independent configuration of HW Tx and Rx ring depths.
* Added support for up to 8k Rx descriptors per ring.
* **Updated the enic driver.**
- * Added support for ``RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE`` flag.
- * Added the handler to get firmware version string.
+ * Added support for the ``RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE`` flag.
+ * Added a handler to get the firmware version string.
* Added support for multicast filtering.
* **Added dynamic queues allocation support for i40e VF.**
- Previously, available queues of VF is reserved by PF at initialize stage.
- Now both DPDK PF and Kernel PF (>=2.1.14) will support dynamic queue
- allocation. At runtime, when VF request more queue number exceed the initial
- reserved amount, PF can allocate up to 16 queues as the request after a VF
- reset.
