Deprecation Notices
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_dev to support up to
|
|
1024 queues per port. This change will be in release 2.2.
|
|
There is no backward compatibility planned from release 2.2.
|
|
All binaries will need to be rebuilt from release 2.2.
|
|
|
|
* The EAL function rte_eal_pci_close_one is deprecated because renamed to
|
|
rte_eal_pci_detach.
|
|
|
|
* The Macros RTE_HASH_BUCKET_ENTRIES_MAX and RTE_HASH_KEY_LENGTH_MAX are
|
|
deprecated and will be removed with version 2.2.
|
|
|
|
* Significant ABI changes are planned for struct rte_mbuf, struct rte_kni_mbuf,
|
|
and several ``PKT_RX_`` flags will be removed, to support unified packet type
|
|
from release 2.1. Those changes may be enabled in the upcoming release 2.1
|
|
with CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI.
|
|
|
|
* librte_malloc library has been integrated into librte_eal. The 2.1 release
|
|
creates a dummy/empty malloc library to fulfill binaries with dynamic linking
|
|
dependencies on librte_malloc.so. Such dummy library will not be created from
|
|
release 2.2 so binaries will need to be rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
* The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
|
|
imissed, ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
|
|
tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
