dpdk (16.07-0~git1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  [ Christian Ehrhardt ]
  * Merge with upstream DPDK 16.07 release
  * Cleanup Lintian Warnings
    - d/p/fix-unusual-interpreter.patch fixes "W: dpdk-doc:
      unusual-interpreter"
    - d/p/fix-double-license-info.patch fixes "W: dpdk-rte-kni-dkms:
      extra-license-file"

    d/p/fix-vhost-user-socket-permission.patch
  * Add lintian-overrides for: E: dpdk-dev: arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share
    These binaries are part of the sdk and meant to be shipped with the sdk.
  * d/p/dpdk-dev-doc-fix-old-dpdk-nic-bind.py-references.patch to fix the
    docs in regard to 16.07 changes renaming dpdk_nic_bind

    accidentially executing as script and to fix unusual-interpreter lintian
    warning.
  * fix d/t/test-initscripts on more recent systemd environments
  * enable dpdk for ppc64el
    - add ppc64el arch to valid dpdk pmds and rte libraries

  [ Anders Roxell ]
  * debian/control: add pciutils to the dpdk depends list, since lspci is used
    by the devbind script

  [ Luca Boccassi ]
  * Add ${shlib:Depends} to dpdk-dev dependencies
  * Install api and guides in dpdk-doc
  * Convert debian/rules to new style DH targets
  * Add Recommends: python to dpdk-doc since it ships python scripts among the
    examples, fixes Lintian warning about missing python dependencies
  * Fix typo in dpdk-doc.README.Debian, fixes "W: dpdk-doc:
    spelling-error-in-readme-debian to to (duplicate word) to"
  * Fix upstream rc versions by using "~" instead of "-". 16.07-rc1 evaluates
    as newer than 16.07 which causes issues with Debian tools and Lintian
    errors and warnings:
    - W: libethdev4: latest-debian-changelog-entry-without-new-version
    - E: libethdev4: symbols-file-contains-current-version-with-debian-revision
      on symbol DPDK_16.04@DPDK_16.04 and 114 others
  * Add lintian-overrides for: "W: dpdk-doc: embedded-javascript-library"
  * Add optional binary kernel modules package, disabled by default (build with
    DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=kernel_modules to enable). If enabled will build kernel
    modules agains the local, current kernel version (override by adding
    ksrc=<path/to/kernel/sources> to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS) into a
    dpdk-modules-<kernel version> package
  * Set HOST_/EXTRA/CPP/C/LDFLAGS in d/rules so that all built objects pick up
    all flags set by the dpkg environment, like hardening flags
  * Add rte-compile-pre-cppflags.patch to make all DPDK objects pick up the
    user specified or environment specified CPP/C/LDFLAGS.
    Fixes Lintian warning:
    - W: dpdk-dev: hardening-no-relro
         usr/share/dpdk/x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc/app/dpdk-pmdinfogen
  * Add a brief HOWTO to debian/README.source with instructions to build the
    packages, for CI systems and the like.

      installation of multiple .so versions concurrently.

dpdk (2.2.0-0ubuntu9) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * d/p/ubuntu-backport-[36-37] fix virtio issues (LP: #1570195):
    - don't let DPDK initialize virtio devices still in use by the kernel
    - this avoids conflicts between kernel and dpdk usage of those devices
    - an admin now has to unbind/bind devices as on physical hardware
    - this is in the dpdk 16.04 release and delta can then be dropped
    - d/dpdk-doc.README.Debian update for changes in virtio-pci handling
    - d/dpdk.interfaces update for changes in virtio-pci handling
  * d/p/ubuntu-backport-38... fix for memory leak (LP: #1570466):
    - call vhost_destroy_device on removing vhost user ports to fix memory leak
    - this likely is in the dpdk 16.07 release and delta can then be dropped
  * d/p/ubuntu-fix-vhost-user-socket-permission.patch fox (LP: #1546565):
    - when vhost_user sockets are created they are owner:group of the process
    - the DPDK api to create those has no way to specify owner:group
    - to fix that without breaking the API and potential workaround code in
      consumers of the library like openvswitch 2.6 for example. This patch
      adds an EAL commandline option to specify user:group created vhost_user
      sockets should have.

dpdk (2.2.0-0ubuntu7) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Increase max_map_count after setting huge pages (LP: #1507921):
    - The default config of 65530 would cause issues as soon as about 64GB or
      more are used as 2M huge pages for dpdk.
    - Increase this value to base+2*#hugepages to avoid issues on huge systems.
  * d/p/ubuntu-backport-[28-32,34-35] backports for stability (LP: #1568838):
     - these will be in the 16.04 dpdk release, delta can then be dropped.
     - 5 fixes that do not change api/behaviour but fix serious issues.
        - 01 f82f705b lpm: fix allocation of an existing object
        - 02 f9bd3342 hash: fix multi-process support
        - 03 1aadacb5 hash: fix allocation of an existing object

        - 06 356445f9 port: fix ring writer buffer overflow
        - 07 52f7a5ae port: fix burst size mask type
  * d/p/ubuntu-backport-33-vhost-user-add-error-handling-for-fd-1023.patch
     - this will likely be in dpdk release 16.07 and delta can then be dropped.
     - fixes a crash on using fd's >1023 (LP: #1566874)
  * d/p/ubuntu-fix-lpm-use-after-free-and-leak.patch fix lpm_free (LP: #1569375)
     - the old patches had an error freeing a pointer which had no meta data
     - that lead to a crash on any lpm_free call
     - folded into the fix that generally covers the lpm allocation and free
       weaknesses already (also there this particular mistake was added)

  * Guard dep8 tests against non supported platforms (LP: #1551158):
    - d/t/control now avoids failing due to "dependencies are unsatisfiable"
      when fetching packages. The packages architecture restrictions got added
      to avoid that.

dpdk (2.2.0-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=low

  * Merge from Upstream to DPDK 2.2
    Remaining changes:
    - Set soabi for the combined shared library
  * Drop changes:
    - configuring RTE_LIBNAME to dpdk as it is the upstream default now
    - enabled formerly non building components as they build properly in 2.2
    - d/p/ubunut-avoid-texlive-fonts-extra, d/control:
      Replace use of DejaVuSansMono is no more needed as upstream changed the
      font. Thereby we can drop our delta.
    - d/p/ubuntu-fix-gcc5-ftbs.patch no more needed with DPDK 2.2
  * Added changes
    - Disable CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI as required for packaging (git 506f51cc)
    - Enable LIBRTE_PMD_PCAP which is useful for some DPDK testcase examples
      this adds a build dependency to libpcap-dev
    - Fully support DH_VERBOSE for build debugging convenience
    - adapt to new make infrastructure of dpdk 2.2
    - d/README.debian: convert into d/dpdk-doc.README.debian

dpdk (2.0.0-0ubuntu3) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Only generate HTML documentation, easing backports to 14.04 and

dpdk (2.0.0-0ubuntu2) xenial; urgency=low

  * d/p/ubunut-avoid-texlive-fonts-extra, d/control:
    Replace use of DejaVuSansMono by courier and drop dependency on the
    texlive-fonts-extra package (which is in universe).
  * d/watch added to allow use of uscan to check for upstream releases.
  * d/dpdk-init: fix error if bash variables could not be resolved that
    appeared as "[: -gt: unexpected operator" (had no functional impact)
  * d/dpdk-init:
    Replace use of head and cut (in /usr/bin) commands with sed (in /bin)
    while also adding /usr/bin to the PATH used on direct /etc/init.d/dpdk
    invocation. The PATH is only updated to be on the safe side, there
    should be no other commands from /usr/bin used (LP: #1516543).
  * d/t/test-mountpoint: add dep8 test to cover the issue of LP #1517075.
  * d/dpdk-dev.install: Copy the SDK makefiles into place (LP: #1517075).
