    - d/p/ubuntu-backport-[36-37] but keep doc and example changes in d/*
  * droping patches for soname / linking fixups.
    - Upstream now goes with proper soname/abi/api handling per sublib plus a
      linker script.
    - dropped d/p/ubuntu-combined-shared-lib-abiversion.patch
    - dropped d/p/ubuntu-fix-library-linkage.patch
  * keeping patches:
    - d/p/ubuntu-backport-38-* fix for memory leak

      post 16.04 upstream commit now.
    - d/p/ubuntu-backport-33-vhost-user-add-error-handling-for-fd-1023.patch
    - doc and example changes that were related to d/p/ubuntu-backport-[36-37]
    - d/p/ubuntu-fix-vhost-user-socket-permission.patch adapted for dpdk-16.04:
      In the new build system with sublibs the exposed function needs to be
      listed in lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/rte_eal_version.map
  * adding upstream backports - can be dropped when merging DPDK 16.07.
    - d/p/ubuntu-backport-39-lpm-fix-freeing-in-compatibility-mode.patch

  * adapt to new build system
    - drop enabling the following build config symbols as they no more exist
        CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_COMBINE_LIBS
    - Sub-Libraries are now packaged in a versioned package per library. That
      allows consumers of dpdk to just depend on what they need. As well as
      installation of multiple .so versions concurrently.
    - added the hidden dependency of librte_eal to librte_mempool
    - use dpkg-buildflags and properly enable hardening

    - d/p/ubuntu-fix-xenvirt-support-dynamic-page-size.patch: fix build
      failure on arm64
    - debian/dpdk-sdk-env.sh: generating the right RTE_TARGET during build
      time, so we can also make it compatible with ARM64

  * Adding DKMS package for igb_uio
  * Build static dpdk with -fPIC so it can be used by shared libraries
  * debian/copyright: fixing Canonical's copyright entry

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)

dpdk (2.2.0-0ubuntu5) xenial; urgency=medium

  * d/t/test-initscripts fix issues regarding 1G hugepages
     - the dep8 was already taking care of 1G hugepages being not supported in
       some environments. But it was failing when supported, but not enough
       memory available.

 -- Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>  Wed, 09 Mar 2016 17:19:24 +0000

dpdk (2.2.0-0ubuntu3) xenial; urgency=medium

  * 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.

  [ Christian Ehrhardt ]
  * fix libdpdk.so library linking (LP: #1547517)

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
    - d/dpdk-doc.README.debian: update recommendations about sdk env variables
    - d/dpdk-sdk-env.sh: now deployed in /usr/share/dpdk to be opt in

  * d/p/ubunut-avoid-texlive-fonts-extra, d/control:
    Replace use of DejaVuSansMono by courier and drop dependency on the

  * 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).
