  55      =========================================================
  56
  57 * **Added support for freeing hugepages exactly as originally allocated.**
  58
  59   Some applications using memory event callbacks (especially for managing
  60   RDMA memory regions) require that memory be freed back to the system
  61   exactly as it was originally allocated. These applications typically
  62   also require that a malloc allocation not span across two separate
  63   hugepage allocations.  A new ``--match-allocations`` EAL init flag has
  64   been added to fulfill both of these requirements.
  65
  66 * **Added API to register external memory in DPDK.**
  67
  68   A new ``rte_extmem_register``/``rte_extmem_unregister`` API was added to allow
  69   chunks of external memory to be registered with DPDK without adding them to
  70   the malloc heap.
  71
  72 * **Added support for using virtio-user without hugepages.**
  73
  74   The ``--no-huge`` mode was augmented to use memfd-backed memory (on systems
  75   that support memfd), to allow using virtio-user-based NICs without
  76   hugepages.
  77
  78 * **Release of the ENA PMD v2.0.0.**
  79
  80   Version 2.0.0 of the ENA PMD was added with the following additions:
  81
  82   * Added Low Latency Queue v2 (LLQv2). This feature reduces the latency
  83     of the packets by pushing the header directly through the PCI to the
  84     device. This allows the NIC to start handle packets right after the doorbell
  85     without waiting for DMA.
  86   * Added independent configuration of HW Tx and Rx ring depths.
  87   * Added support for up to 8k Rx descriptors per ring.
  88   * Added additional doorbell check on Tx, to handle Tx more efficiently for big
  89     bursts of packets.
  90   * Added per queue statistics.
  91   * Added extended statistics using xstats DPDK API.
  92   * The reset routine was aligned with the DPDK API, so now it can be
  93     handled as in other PMDs.
  94   * Fixed out of order (OOO) completion.
  95   * Fixed memory leaks due to port stops and starts in the middle of
  96     traffic.
  97   * Updated documentation and features list of the PMD.
  98
  99 * **Updated mlx5 driver.**
 100
 101   Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
 102
 103   * Fixed ``imissed`` counter to be reported through ``rte_eth_stats`` instead
 104     of ``rte_eth_xstats``.
 105   * Added packet header modification through Direct Verbs flow driver.
 106   * Added ConnectX-6 PCI device ID to be proved by ``mlx5`` driver.
 107   * Added flow counter support to Direct Verbs flow driver though DevX.
 108   * Renamed build options for the glue layer to
 109     ``CONFIG_RTE_IBVERBS_LINK_DLOPEN`` for make and ``ibverbs_link`` for meson.
 110   * Added static linkage of ``mlx`` dependency.
 111   * Improved stability of E-Switch flow driver.
 112   * Added new make build configuration to set the cacheline size for Bluefield
 113     correctly - ``arm64-bluefield-linux-gcc``.
 114
 115 * **Updated the enic driver.**
 116
 117   * Added support for the ``RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE`` flag.
 118   * Added a handler to get the firmware version string.
 119   * Added support for multicast filtering.
 120
 121 * **Added dynamic queues allocation support for i40e VF.**
 122
 123   Previously, the available VF queues were reserved by PF at initialization
 124   stage. Now both DPDK PF and Kernel PF (>=2.1.14) will support dynamic queue
 125   allocation. At runtime, when VF requests for more queue exceed the initial
 126   reserved amount, the PF can allocate up to 16 queues as the request after a
 127   VF reset.
 128
 129 * **Added ICE net PMD.**
 130
 131   Added the new ``ice`` net driver for Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapters E810.
 132   See the :doc:`../nics/ice` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
 133
 134 * **Added support for SW-assisted VDPA live migration.**
 135
 136   This SW-assisted VDPA live migration facility helps VDPA devices without
 137   logging capability to perform live migration, a mediated SW relay can help
 138   devices to track dirty pages caused by DMA. the IFC driver has enabled this
 139   SW-assisted live migration mode.
 140
 141 * **Added security checks to the cryptodev symmetric session operations.**
 142
 143   Added a set of security checks to the access cryptodev symmetric session.
 144   The checks include the session's user data read/write check and the
 145   session private data referencing status check while freeing a session.
 146
 147 * **Updated the AESNI-MB PMD.**
 148
 149   * Added support for intel-ipsec-mb version 0.52.
 150   * Added AES-GMAC algorithm support.
 151   * Added Plain SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512 algorithms support.
 152
 153 * **Added IPsec Library.**
 154
 155   Added an experimental library ``librte_ipsec`` to provide ESP tunnel and
 156   transport support for IPv4 and IPv6 packets.
 157
 158   The library provides support for AES-CBC ciphering and AES-CBC with HMAC-SHA1
 159   algorithm-chaining, and AES-GCM and NULL algorithms only at present. It is
 160   planned to add more algorithms in future releases.
 161
 162   See :doc:`../prog_guide/ipsec_lib` for more information.
 163
 164 * **Updated the ipsec-secgw sample application.**
 165
 166   The ``ipsec-secgw`` sample application has been updated to use the new
 167   ``librte_ipsec`` library, which has also been added in this release.
 168   The original functionality of ipsec-secgw is retained, a new command line
 169   parameter ``-l`` has  been added to ipsec-secgw to use the IPsec library,
 170   instead of the existing IPsec code in the application.
 171
 172   The IPsec library does not support all the functionality of the existing
 173   ipsec-secgw application. It is planned to add the outstanding functionality
 174   in future releases.
 175
 176   See :doc:`../sample_app_ug/ipsec_secgw` for more information.
 177
 178 * **Enabled checksum support in the ISA-L compressdev driver.**
 179
 180   Added support for both adler and crc32 checksums in the ISA-L PMD.
 181   This aids data integrity across both compression and decompression.
 182
 183 * **Added a compression performance test tool.**
 184
 185   Added a new performance test tool to test the compressdev PMD. The tool tests
 186   compression ratio and compression throughput.
 187
 188 * **Added intel_pstate support to Power Management library.**
 189
 190   Previously, using the power management library required the
 191   disabling of the intel_pstate kernel driver, and the enabling of the
 192   acpi_cpufreq kernel driver. This is no longer the case, as the use of
 193   the intel_pstate kernel driver is now supported, and automatically
 194   detected by the library.
 195
 196
 197 API Changes
 198 -----------
 199
 200 .. This section should contain API changes. Sample format:
 201
 202    * sample: Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the API change
 203      which was announced in the previous releases and made in this release.
 204      Start with a scope label like "ethdev:".
 205      Use fixed width quotes for ``function_names`` or ``struct_names``.
 206      Use the past tense.
 207
 208    This section is a comment. Do not overwrite or remove it.
 209    Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
 210    =========================================================
 211
 212 * eal: Function ``rte_bsf64`` in ``rte_bitmap.h`` has been renamed to
 213   ``rte_bsf64_safe`` and moved to ``rte_common.h``. A new ``rte_bsf64``
 214   function has been added in ``rte_common.h`` that follows the convention set
 215   by the existing ``rte_bsf32`` function.
 216
 217 * eal: Segment fd API on Linux now sets error code to ``ENOTSUP`` in more cases
 218   where segment the fd API is not expected to be supported:
 219
 220   - On attempt to get a segment fd for an externally allocated memory segment
 221   - In cases where memfd support would have been required to provide segment
 222     fds (such as in-memory or no-huge mode)
 223
 224 * eal: Functions ``rte_malloc_dump_stats()``, ``rte_malloc_dump_heaps()`` and
 225   ``rte_malloc_get_socket_stats()`` are no longer safe to call concurrently with
 226   ``rte_malloc_heap_create()`` or ``rte_malloc_heap_destroy()`` function calls.
 227
 228 * mbuf: ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()``, which was deprecated in 18.05, was replaced
 229   with ``RTE_MBUF_CLONED()`` and removed in 19.02.
 230
 231 * sched: As result of the new format of the mbuf sched field, the
 232   functions ``rte_sched_port_pkt_write()`` and
 233   ``rte_sched_port_pkt_read_tree_path()`` got an additional parameter of
 234   type ``struct rte_sched_port``.
 235
 236 * pdump: The ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir()``, the parameter ``path`` of
 237   ``rte_pdump_init()`` and enum ``rte_pdump_socktype`` were deprecated
 238   since 18.05 and are removed in this release.
 239
 240 * cryptodev: The parameter ``session_pool`` in the function
 241   ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_setup()`` is removed.
 242
 243 * cryptodev: a new function ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_pool_create()`` has been
 244   introduced. This function is now mandatory when creating symmetric session
 245   header mempool. Please note all crypto applications are required to use this
 246   function from now on. Failed to do so will cause a
 247   ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session_create()`` function call return error.
 248
 249
 250 ABI Changes
 251 -----------
 252
 253 .. This section should contain ABI changes. Sample format:
 254
 255    * sample: Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the ABI change
 256      which was announced in the previous releases and made in this release.
 257      Start with a scope label like "ethdev:".
 258      Use fixed width quotes for ``function_names`` or ``struct_names``.
 259      Use the past tense.
 260
 261    This section is a comment. Do not overwrite or remove it.
 262    Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
 263    =========================================================
 264
 265 * mbuf: The format of the sched field of ``rte_mbuf`` has been changed
 266   to include the following fields: ``queue ID``, ``traffic class``, ``color``.
 267
 268 * cryptodev: as shown in the the 18.11 deprecation notice, the structure
 269   ``rte_cryptodev_qp_conf`` has added two parameters for symmetric session
 270   mempool and symmetric session private data mempool.
 271
 272 * cryptodev: as shown in the the 18.11 deprecation notice, the structure
 273   ``rte_cryptodev_sym_session`` has been updated to contain more information
 274   to ensure safely accessing the session and session private data.
 275
 276 * security: A new field ``uint64_t opaque_data`` has been added to
 277   ``rte_security_session`` structure. That would allow upper layer to easily
 278   associate/de-associate some user defined data with the security session.
 279

 360
 361    * **Add title in present tense with full stop.**
 362
 363      Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the known issue
 364      in the present tense. Add information on any known workarounds.
 365
 366    This section is a comment. Do not overwrite or remove it.
 367    Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
 368    =========================================================
 369
 370 * ``AVX-512`` support has been disabled for ``GCC`` builds when ``binutils 2.30``
 371   is detected [1] because of a crash [2]. This can affect ``native`` machine type
 372   build targets on the platforms that support ``AVX512F`` like ``Intel Skylake``
 373   processors, and can cause a possible performance drop. The immediate workaround
 374   is to use ``clang`` compiler on these platforms.
 375   Initial workaround in DPDK v18.11 was to disable ``AVX-512`` support for ``GCC``
 376   completely, but based on information on defect submitted to GCC community [3],
 377   issue has been identified as ``binutils 2.30`` issue. Since currently only GCC
 378   generates ``AVX-512`` instructions, the scope is limited to ``GCC`` and
 379   ``binutils 2.30``
