allows to save PCI bandwidth and improve performance at the cost of a
slightly higher CPU usage. Enabled by default.
+ Supported on:
+
+ - x86_64 with ConnectX4 and ConnectX4 LX
+ - Power8 with ConnectX4 LX
+
- ``txq_inline`` parameter [int]
Amount of data to be inlined during TX operations. Improves latency.
Currently supported by DPDK:
-- Mellanox OFED **3.3-1.0.0.0**.
+- Mellanox OFED **3.3-1.0.0.0** and **3.3-2.0.0.0**.
- Minimum firmware version:
* The log history is deprecated.
It is voided in 16.07 and will be removed in release 16.11.
+* The ethdev library file will be renamed from libethdev.* to librte_ethdev.*
+ in release 16.11 in order to have a more consistent namespace.
+
+* In 16.11 ABI changes are planned: the ``rte_eth_dev`` structure will be
+ extended with new function pointer ``tx_pkt_prep`` allowing verification
+ and processing of packet burst to meet HW specific requirements before
+ transmit. Also new fields will be added to the ``rte_eth_desc_lim`` structure:
+ ``nb_seg_max`` and ``nb_mtu_seg_max`` providing information about number of
+ segments limit to be transmitted by device for TSO/non-TSO packets.
+
* The ethdev hotplug API is going to be moved to EAL with a notification
mechanism added to crypto and ethdev libraries so that hotplug is now
available to both of them. This API will be stripped of the device arguments
do not need to care about the kind of devices that are being used, making it
easier to add new buses later.
-* ABI changes are planned for adding four new flow types. This impacts
- RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes,
- but release 2.3 will. [postponed]
+* ABI changes are planned for 16.11 in the ``rte_mbuf`` structure: some fields
+ may be reordered to facilitate the writing of ``data_off``, ``refcnt``, and
+ ``nb_segs`` in one operation, because some platforms have an overhead if the
+ store address is not naturally aligned. Other mbuf fields, such as the
+ ``port`` field, may be moved or removed as part of this mbuf work.
* The mbuf flags PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT and PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT are deprecated and
are respectively replaced by PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED and
* The mempool functions for single/multi producer/consumer are deprecated and
will be removed in 16.11.
It is replaced by rte_mempool_generic_get/put functions.
+
+* The ``rte_ivshmem`` feature (including library and EAL code) will be removed
+ in 16.11 because it has some design issues which are not planned to be fixed.
+
+* The vhost-cuse will be removed in 16.11. Since v2.1, a large majority of
+ development effort has gone to vhost-user, such as multiple-queue, live
+ migration, reconnect etc. Therefore, vhost-user should be used instead.
+
+* Driver names are quite inconsistent among each others and they will be
+ renamed to something more consistent (net and crypto prefixes) in 16.11.
+ Some of these driver names are used publicly, to create virtual devices,
+ so a deprecation notice is necessary.
+
+* API will change for ``rte_port_source_params`` and ``rte_port_sink_params``
+ structures. The member ``file_name`` data type will be changed from
+ ``char *`` to ``const char *``. This change targets release 16.11.
**Driver/Module**:
Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).

+
+I40e VF may not receive packets in the promiscuous mode
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+**Description**:
+ Promiscuous mode is not supported by the DPDK i40e VF driver when using the
+ i40e Linux kernel driver as host driver.
+
+**Implication**:
+ The i40e VF does not receive packets when the destination MAC address is unknown.
+
+**Resolution/Workaround**:
+ Use a explicit destination MAC address that matches the VF.
+
+**Affected Environment/Platform**:
+ All.
+
+**Driver/Module**:
+ Poll Mode Driver (PMD).
Refer to the previous release notes for examples.
-* **Removed mempool cache if not needed.**
+* **Removed the mempool cache memory if caching is not being used.**
The size of the mempool structure is reduced if the per-lcore cache is disabled.
* **Added mempool external cache for non-EAL thread.**
Added new functions to create, free or flush a user-owned mempool
- cache for non-EAL threads. Previously the cache was always disabled
+ cache for non-EAL threads. Previously the caching was always disabled
on these threads.
-* **Changed the memory allocation in mempool library.**
+* **Changed the memory allocation scheme in the mempool library.**
- * Added ability to allocate a large mempool in virtually fragmented memory.
+ * Added the ability to allocate a large mempool in fragmented virtual memory.
* Added new APIs to populate a mempool with memory.
* Added an API to free a mempool.
* Modified the API of the ``rte_mempool_obj_iter()`` function.
- * Dropped specific Xen Dom0 code.
- * Dropped specific anonymous mempool code in testpmd.
+ * Dropped the specific Xen Dom0 code.
+ * Dropped the specific anonymous mempool code in testpmd.
-* **Added new driver for Broadcom NetXtreme-C devices.**
+* **Added a new driver for Broadcom NetXtreme-C devices.**
Added the new bnxt driver for Broadcom NetXtreme-C devices. See the
"Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details on this
new driver.
-* **Added new driver for ThunderX nicvf device.**
+* **Added a new driver for ThunderX nicvf devices.**
+
+ Added the new thunderx net driver for ThunderX nicvf devices. See the
+ "Network Interface Controller Drivers" document for more details on this new
+ driver.
* **Added mailbox interrupt support for ixgbe and igb VFs.**
* Added MTU update in non Scattered Rx mode and enabled MTU of up to 9208
with UCS Software release 2.2 on 1300 series VICs.
+* **Updated the mlx5 driver.**
+
+ The mlx5 driver was updated with changes including the following:
+
+ * Data path was refactored to bypass Verbs to improve RX and TX performance.
+ * Removed compilation parameters for inline send, ``MLX5_MAX_INLINE``, and
+ added command line parameter instead, ``txq_inline``.
+ * Improved TX scatter gather support:
+ Removed compilation parameter ``MLX5_PMD_SGE_WR_N``.
+ Scatter-gather elements is set to the maximum value the NIC supports.
+ Removed linearization logic, this decreases the memory consumption of the PMD.
+ * Improved jumbo frames support, by dynamically setting RX scatter gather elements
+ according to the MTU and mbuf size,
+ no need for compilation parameter ``MLX5_PMD_SGE_WR_N``
+
* **Added support for virtio on IBM POWER8.**
The ioports are mapped in memory when using Linux UIO.
DPDK vhost-user will also try to reconnect by default when:
- * The first connect fails (when QEMU is not started yet).
- * The connection is broken (when QEMU restarts).
+ * The first connect fails (for example when QEMU is not started yet).
+ * The connection is broken (for example when QEMU restarts).
It can be turned off by setting the ``RTE_VHOST_USER_NO_RECONNECT`` flag.
Now AESNI MB PMD supports 128/192/256-bit counter mode AES encryption and
decryption.
-* **Added support for AES counter mode with Intel QuickAssist devices.**
+* **Added AES counter mode support for Intel QuickAssist devices.**
Enabled support for the AES CTR algorithm for Intel QuickAssist devices.
Provided support for algorithm-chaining operations.
* **Added keepalive enhancements.**
- Added support for reporting of core states other than dead to
+ Added support for reporting of core states other than "dead" to
monitoring applications, enabling the support of broader liveness
reporting to external processes.
