rte_eth_rx_descriptor_done()
API function and its driver callback. It is replaced by the more complete functionrte_eth_rx_descriptor_status()
.ethdev: Removed deprecated
shared
attribute of thestruct 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.
1.3. API Changes
eal: The lcore state
FINISHED
is removed from theenum rte_lcore_state_t
. The lcore stateWAIT
is enough to represent the same state.eal: Made

structure definition hidden on Linux and FreeBSD.cmdline: Made
rdline
structure definition hidden. Functions are added to dynamically allocate and free it, and to access user data in callbacks.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 withRTE_MEMPOOL_F_
prefix should be used instead.mempool: Helper macro
MEMPOOL_HEADER_SIZE()
is deprecated. The replacement macroRTE_MEMPOOL_HEADER_SIZE()
is internal only.mempool: Macro to register mempool driver
MEMPOOL_REGISTER_OPS()
is deprecated. Use replacementRTE_MEMPOOL_REGISTER_OPS()

s_addr
andd_addr
fields ofrte_ether_hdr
structure tosrc_addr
anddst_addr
, respectively.net: Added
version
andihl
bit-fields tostruct rte_ipv4_hdr
. Existingversion_ihl
field is kept for backward compatibility.ethdev: Added items and actions
PORT_REPRESENTOR
,REPRESENTED_PORT
to flow API.ethdev: Deprecated items and actions
PF
,VF
,PHY_PORT
,PORT_ID
. Suggested items and actionsPORT_REPRESENTOR
,REPRESENTED_PORT
instead.ethdev: Deprecated the use of attributes

,REPRESENTED_PORT
.ethdev:
rte_flow_action_modify_data
structure updated, immediate data array is extended, data pointer field is explicitly added to union, the action behavior is defined in a more strict fashion and documentation updated. The immediate value behavior has been changed, the entire immediate field should be provided, and offset for immediate source bitfield is assigned from the destination one.vhost:
rte_vdpa_register_device
,rte_vdpa_unregister_device
,rte_vhost_host_notifier_ctrl
andrte_vdpa_relay_vring_used
vDPA driver interface are marked as internal.cryptodev: The API
rte_cryptodev_pmd_is_valid_dev()
is modified torte_cryptodev_is_valid_dev()
as it can be used by the application as well as the PMD to check whether the device is valid or not.cryptodev: The
rte_cryptodev_pmd.*
files are renamed tocryptodev_pmd.*
since they are for drivers only and should be private to DPDK, and not installed for app use.cryptodev: A
reserved
byte from structurerte_crypto_op
was renamed toaux_flags
to indicate warnings and other information from the crypto/security operation. This field will be used to communicate events such as soft expiry with IPsec in lookaside mode.cryptodev: The field
dataunit_len
of thestruct rte_crypto_cipher_xform
moved to the end of the structure and extended touint32_t
.cryptodev: The structure

field to support total buffer length to facilitate protocol offload case.cryptodev: The structure
rte_crypto_sym_vec
was updated to adddest_sgl
to support out of place processing.bbdev: Added device info related to data byte endianness processing.
eventdev: Moved memory used by timer adapters to hugepage. This will prevent TLB misses if any and aligns to memory structure of other subsystems.
fib: Added the
rib_ext_sz
field torte_fib_conf
andrte_fib6_conf
so that user can specify the size of the RIB extension inside the FIB.ip_frag: All macros updated to have
RTE_IP_FRAG_
prefix. Obsolete macros are kept for compatibility. DPDK components updated to use new names. Experimental functionrte_frag_table_del_expired_entries()
was renamed torte_ip_frag_table_del_expired_entries()
to comply with other public API naming convention.
1.4. ABI Changes
ethdev: All enums and macros updated to have
RTE_ETH
prefix and structures updated to haverte_eth
prefix. DPDK components updated to use new names.ethdev: The input parameters for
eth_rx_queue_count_t
were changed. Instead of a pointer torte_eth_dev
and queue index, it now accepts a pointer to internal queue data as an input parameter. While this change is transparent to the user, it still counts as an ABI change, aseth_rx_queue_count_t
is used by the public inline functionrte_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).vhost: rename
struct vhost_device_ops
tostruct rte_vhost_device_ops
.cryptodev: Made
rte_cryptodev
,rte_cryptodev_data
private structures internal to DPDK.rte_cryptodevs
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
andrte_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 have much processing in PMD specific callbacks but just 64-bit set/get. This avoids a per packet function pointer jump overhead for such PMDs.security: A new option
iv_gen_disable
was added in structurerte_security_ipsec_sa_options
to disable IV generation inside PMD, so that application can provide its own IV and test known test vectors.security: A new option
tunnel_hdr_verify
was added in structurerte_security_ipsec_sa_options
to indicate whether outer header verification need to be done as part of inbound IPsec processing.security: A new option
udp_ports_verify
was added in structurerte_security_ipsec_sa_options
to indicate whether UDP ports verification need to be done as part of inbound IPsec processing.security: A new structure
rte_security_ipsec_lifetime
was added to replaceesn_soft_limit
in IPsec configuration structurerte_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
andl4_csum_enable
were added in structurerte_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 structurerte_security_ipsec_xform
to set an initial ESN value. This permits applications to start from an arbitrary ESN value for debug and SA lifetime enforcement purposes.security: A new structure
udp
was added in structurerte_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
.eventdev: New variables
rx_event_buf_count
andrx_event_buf_size
were added in structurerte_event_eth_rx_adapter_stats
to get additional status.eventdev: A new structure
rte_event_fp_ops
has been added which is now used by the fastpath inline functions. The structuresrte_eventdev
,rte_eventdev_data
have been made internal.rte_eventdevs[]
can’t be accessed directly by user any more. This change is transparent to both applications and PMDs.eventdev: Re-arranged fields in
rte_event_timer
to remove holes.ip_frag: Increased default value for config parameter
RTE_LIBRTE_IP_FRAG_MAX_FRAG
from4
to8
. This parameter controls maximum number of fragments per packet in IP reassembly table. Increasing this value from4
to8
will allow covering the common case with jumbo packet size of9000B
and fragments with default frame size(1500B)
.
