=========================================================
|
|
|
|
* **Added support for using externally allocated memory in DPDK.**
|
|
|
|
DPDK has added support for creating new ``rte_malloc`` heaps referencing
|
|
memory that was created outside of DPDK's own page allocator, and using that
|
|
memory natively with any other DPDK library or data structure.
|
|
|
|
* **Added check for ensuring allocated memory is addressable by devices.**
|
|
|
|
Some devices can have addressing limitations so a new function,
|
|
``rte_mem_check_dma_mask()``, has been added for checking that allocated
|
|
memory is not out of the device range. Since memory can now be allocated
|
|
dynamically after initialization, a DMA mask is stored and any new allocated
|
|
memory will be checked against it and rejected if it is out of range. If
|
|
more than one device has addressing limitations, the DMA mask is the more
|
|
restrictive one.
|
|
|
|
* **Updated the C11 memory model version of the ring library.**
|
|
|
|
Added changes to decrease latency for architectures using the C11 memory
|
|
model version of the ring library.
|
|
|
|
On Cavium ThunderX2 platform, the changes decreased latency by 27-29%
|
|
and 3-15% for MPMC and SPSC cases respectively (with 2 lcores). The
|
|
real improvements may vary with the number of contending lcores and
|
|
the size of the ring.
|
|
|
|
* **Added hot-unplug handle mechanism.**
|
|
|
|
Added ``rte_dev_hotplug_handle_enable()`` and
|
|
``rte_dev_hotplug_handle_disable()`` for enabling or disabling the hotplug
|
|
handle mechanism.
|
|
|
|
* **Added support for device multi-process hotplug.**
|
|
|
|
Added support for hotplug and hot-unplug in a multiprocessing scenario. Any
|
|
ethdev devices created in the primary process will be regarded as shared and
|
|
will be available for all DPDK processes. Synchronization between processes
|
|
will be done using DPDK IPC.
|
|
|
|
* **Added new Flow API actions to rewrite fields in packet headers.**
|
|
|
|
Added new Flow API actions to:
|
|
|
|
* Modify source and destination IP addresses in the outermost IPv4/IPv6
|
|
headers.
|
|
* Modify source and destination port numbers in the outermost TCP/UDP
|
|
headers.
|
|
|
|
* **Added new Flow API action to swap MAC addresses in Ethernet header.**
|
|
|
|
Added new Flow API action to swap the source and destination MAC
|
|
addresses in the outermost Ethernet header.
|
|
|
|
* **Add support to offload more flow match and actions for CXGBE PMD.**
|
|
|
|
The Flow API support has been enhanced for the CXGBE Poll Mode Driver to
|
|
offload:
|
|
|
|
* Match items: destination MAC address.
|
|
* Action items: push/pop/rewrite vlan header,
|
|
rewrite IP addresses in outermost IPv4/IPv6 header,
|
|
rewrite port numbers in outermost TCP/UDP header,
|
|
swap MAC addresses in outermost Ethernet header.
|
|
|
|
* **Added a devarg to use the latest supported vector path in i40e.**
|
|
|
|
A new devarg ``use-latest-supported-vec`` was introduced to allow users to
|
|
choose the latest vector path that the platform supported. For example, users
|
|
can use AVX2 vector path on BDW/HSW to get better performance.
|
|
|
|
* **Added support for SR-IOV in netvsc PMD.**
|
|
|
|
The ``netvsc`` poll mode driver now supports the Accelerated Networking
|
|
SR-IOV option in Hyper-V and Azure. This is an alternative to the previous
|
|
vdev_netvsc, tap, and failsafe drivers combination.
|
|
|
|
* **Added a new net driver for Marvell Armada 3k device.**
|
|
|
|
Added the new ``mvneta`` net driver for Marvell Armada 3k device. See the
|
|
:doc:`../nics/mvneta` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.
|
|
|
|
* **Added NXP ENETC PMD.**
|
|
|
|
Added the new enetc driver for the NXP enetc platform. See the
|
|
:doc:`../nics/enetc` NIC driver guide for more details on this new driver.
|
|
|
|
* **Added Ethernet poll mode driver for Aquantia aQtion family of 10G devices.**
|
|
|
|
Added the new ``atlantic`` ethernet poll mode driver for Aquantia XGBE devices.
|
|
See the :doc:`../nics/atlantic` NIC driver guide for more details on this
|
|
driver.
|
|
|
|
* **Updated mlx5 driver.**
|
|
|
|
Updated the mlx5 driver including the following changes:
|
|
|
|
* Improved security of PMD to prevent the NIC from getting stuck when
|
|
the application misbehaves.
|
|
* Reworked flow engine to supported e-switch flow rules (transfer attribute).
|
|
* Added support for header re-write(L2-L4), VXLAN encap/decap, count, match
|
|
on TCP flags and multiple flow groups with e-switch flow rules.
|
|
* Added support for match on metadata, VXLAN and MPLS encap/decap with flow
|
|
rules.
|
|
* Added support for ``RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE`` flag to provide better
|
|
support for representors.
|
|
* Added support for meson build.
|
|
* Fixed build issue with PPC.
|
|

|
|
|
|
* **Updated Solarflare network PMD.**
|
|
|
|
Updated the sfc_efx driver including the following changes:
|
|
|
|
* Added support for Rx scatter in EF10 datapath implementation.
|
|
* Added support for Rx descriptor status API in EF10 datapath implementation.
|
|
* Added support for TSO in EF10 datapath implementation.
|
|
* Added support for Tx descriptor status API in EF10 (ef10 and ef10_simple)
|
|
datapaths implementation.
|
|
|
|
* **Updated the enic driver.**
|
|
|
|
* Added AVX2-based vectorized Rx handler.
|
|
* Added VLAN and checksum offloads to the simple Tx handler.
|
|
* Added the "count" flow action.
|
|
* Enabled the virtual address IOVA mode.
|
|
|
|
* **Updated the failsafe driver.**
|
|
|
|
Updated the failsafe driver including the following changes:
|
|
|
|
* Added support for Rx and Tx queues start and stop.
|
|
* Added support for Rx and Tx queues deferred start.
|
|
* Added support for runtime Rx and Tx queues setup.
|
|
* Added support multicast MAC address set.
|
|
|
|
* **Added a devarg to use a PCAP interface physical MAC address.**
|
|
|
|
A new devarg ``phy_mac`` was introduced to allow users to use the physical
|
|
MAC address of the selected PCAP interface.
|
|
|
|
* **Added TAP Rx/Tx queues sharing with a secondary process.**
|
|
|
|
Added support to allow a secondary process to attach a TAP device created
|
|
in the primary process, probe the queues, and process Rx/Tx in a secondary
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
* **Added classification and metering support to SoftNIC PMD.**
|
|
|
|
Added support for flow classification (rte_flow API), and metering and
|
|
policing (rte_mtr API) to the SoftNIC PMD.
|
|
|
|
* **Added Crypto support to the Softnic PMD.**
|
|
|
|
The Softnic is now capable of processing symmetric crypto workloads such
|
|
as cipher, cipher-authentication chaining, and AEAD encryption and
|
|
decryption. This is achieved by calling DPDK Cryptodev APIs.
|
|
|
|
* **Added cryptodev port to port library.**
|
|
|
|
Cryptodev port is a shim layer in the port library that interacts with DPDK
|
|
Cryptodev PMDs including burst enqueuing and dequeuing crypto operations.
|
|
|
|
* **Added symmetric cryptographic actions to the pipeline library.**
|
|
|
|
In the pipeline library support was added for symmetric crypto action
|
|
parsing and an action handler was implemented. The action allows automatic
|
|
preparation of the crypto operation with the rules specified such as
|
|
algorithm, key, and IV, etc. for the cryptodev port to process.
|
|
|
|
* **Updated the AESNI MB PMD.**
|
|
|
|
The AESNI MB PMD has been updated with additional support for the AES-GCM
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
|
|
* **Added NXP CAAM JR PMD.**
|
|
|
|
Added the new caam job ring driver for NXP platforms. See the
|
|
:doc:`../cryptodevs/caam_jr` guide for more details on this new driver.
|
|
|
|
* **Added support for GEN3 devices to Intel QAT driver.**
|
|
|
|
Added support for the third generation of Intel QuickAssist devices.
|
|
|
|
* **Updated the QAT PMD.**
|
|
|
|
The QAT PMD was updated with additional support for:
|
|
|
|
* The AES-CMAC algorithm.
|
|
|
|
* **Added support for Dynamic Huffman Encoding to Intel QAT comp PMD.**
|
|
|
|
The Intel QuickAssist (QAT) compression PMD has been updated with support
|
|
for Dynamic Huffman Encoding for the Deflate algorithm.
|
|
|
|
* **Added Event Ethernet Tx Adapter.**
|
|
|
|
Added event ethernet Tx adapter library that provides configuration and
|
|
data path APIs for the ethernet transmit stage of an event driven packet
|
|
processing application. These APIs abstract the implementation of the
|
|
transmit stage and allow the application to use eventdev PMD support or
|
|
a common implementation.
|
|
|
|
* **Added Distributed Software Eventdev PMD.**
|
|
|
|
Added the new Distributed Software Event Device (DSW), which is a
|
|
pure-software eventdev driver distributing the work of scheduling
|
|
among all eventdev ports and the lcores using them. DSW, compared to
|
|
the SW eventdev PMD, sacrifices load balancing performance to
|
|
gain better event scheduling throughput and scalability.
|
|
|
|
* **Added extendable bucket feature to hash library (rte_hash).**
|
|
|
|
This new "extendable bucket" feature provides 100% insertion guarantee to
|
|
the capacity specified by the user by extending hash table with extra
|
|
buckets when needed to accommodate the unlikely event of intensive hash
|
|
collisions. In addition, the internal hashing algorithm was changed to use
|
|
partial-key hashing to improve memory efficiency and lookup performance.
|
|
|
|
* **Added lock free reader/writer concurrency to hash library (rte_hash).**
|
|
|
|
Lock free reader/writer concurrency prevents the readers from getting
|
|
blocked due to a preempted writer thread. This allows the hash library
|
|
to be used in scenarios where the writer thread runs on the control plane.
|
|
|
|
* **Added Traffic Pattern Aware Power Control Library.**
|
|
|
|
Added an experimental library that extends the Power Library and provides
|
|
empty_poll APIs. This feature measures how many times empty_polls are
|
|
executed per core and uses the number of empty polls as a hint for system
|
|
power management.
|
|
|
|
See the :doc:`../prog_guide/power_man` section of the DPDK Programmers
|
|
Guide document for more information.
|
|
|
|
* **Added JSON power policy interface for containers.**
|
|
|
|
Extended the Power Library and vm_power_manager sample app to allow power
|
|
policies to be submitted via a FIFO using JSON formatted strings. Previously
|
|
limited to Virtual Machines, this feature extends power policy functionality
|
|
to containers and host applications that need to have their cores frequency
|
|
controlled based on the rules contained in the policy.
|
|
|
|
* **Added Telemetry API.**
|
|
|
|
Added a new telemetry API which allows applications to transparently expose
|
|
their telemetry in JSON via a UNIX socket. The JSON can be consumed by any
|
|
Service Assurance agent, such as CollectD.
|
|
|
|
* **Updated KNI kernel module, rte_kni library, and KNI sample application.**
|
|
|
|
Updated the KNI kernel module with a new kernel module parameter,
|
|
``carrier=[on|off]`` to allow the user to control the default carrier
|
|
state of the KNI kernel network interfaces. The default carrier state
|
|
is now set to ``off``, so the interfaces cannot be used until the
|
|
carrier state is set to ``on`` via ``rte_kni_update_link`` or
|
|
by writing ``1`` to ``/sys/devices/virtual/net/<iface>/carrier``.
|
|
In previous versions the default carrier state was left undefined.
|
|
See :doc:`../prog_guide/kernel_nic_interface` for more information.
|
|
|
|
Also added the new API function ``rte_kni_update_link()`` to allow the user
|
|
to set the carrier state of the KNI kernel network interface.
|
|
|
|
Also added a new command line flag ``-m`` to the KNI sample application to
|
|
monitor and automatically reflect the physical NIC carrier state to the
|
|
KNI kernel network interface with the new ``rte_kni_update_link()`` API.
|
|
See :doc:`../sample_app_ug/kernel_nic_interface` for more information.
|
|
|
|
* **Added ability to switch queue deferred start flag on testpmd app.**
|
|
|
|
Added a console command to testpmd app, giving ability to switch
|
|
``rx_deferred_start`` or ``tx_deferred_start`` flag of the specified queue of
|
|
the specified port. The port must be stopped before the command call in order
|
|
to reconfigure queues.
|
|
|
|
* **Add a new sample application for vDPA.**
|
|
|
|
The vdpa sample application creates vhost-user sockets by using the
|
|
vDPA backend. vDPA stands for vhost Data Path Acceleration which utilizes
|
|
virtio ring compatible devices to serve virtio driver directly to enable
|
|
datapath acceleration. As vDPA driver can help to set up vhost datapath,
|
|
this application doesn't need to launch dedicated worker threads for vhost
|
|
enqueue/dequeue operations.
|
|
|
|
* **Added cryptodev FIPS validation example application.**
|
|
|
|
Added an example application to parse and perform symmetric cryptography
|
|
computation to the NIST Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP)
|
|
test vectors.
|
|
|
|
* **Allow unit test binary to take parameters from the environment.**
|
|
|
|
The unit test "test", or "dpdk-test", binary is often called from scripts,
|
|
which can make passing additional parameters, such as a coremask,
|
|
difficult. Support has been added to the application to allow it to take
|
|
additional command-line parameter values from the ``DPDK_TEST_PARAMS``
|
|
environment variable to make this application easier to use.
|
|
|
|
|

API Changes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
.. This section should contain API changes. Sample format:
|
|
|
|
* Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the API change.
|
|
Use fixed width quotes for ``function_names`` or ``struct_names``.
|
|
Use the past tense.
|
|
|
|
This section is a comment. Do not overwrite or remove it.
|
|
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
|
|
=========================================================
|
|
|
|
* eal: ``rte_memseg_list`` structure now has an additional flag indicating
|
|
whether the memseg list is externally allocated. This will have implications
|
|
for any users of memseg-walk-related functions, as they will now have to skip
|
|
externally allocated segments in most cases if the intent is to only iterate
|
|
over internal DPDK memory.
|
|
|
|
In addition the ``socket_id`` parameter across the entire DPDK has gained
|
|
additional meaning, as some socket ID's will now be representing externally
|
|
allocated memory. No changes will be required for existing code as backwards
|
|
compatibility will be kept, and those who do not use this feature will not
|
|
see these extra socket ID's. Any new API's must not check socket ID
|
|
parameters themselves, and must instead leave it to the memory subsystem to
|
|
decide whether socket ID is a valid one.
|
|
|
|
* eal: The following devargs functions, which were deprecated in 18.05,
|
|
were removed in 18.11:
|
|
``rte_eal_parse_devargs_str()``, ``rte_eal_devargs_add()``,
|
|
``rte_eal_devargs_type_count()``, and ``rte_eal_devargs_dump()``.
|
|
|
|
* eal: The parameters of the function ``rte_devargs_remove()`` have changed
|
|
from bus and device names to ``struct rte_devargs``.
|
|
|
|
* eal: The deprecated functions attach/detach were removed in 18.11.
|
|
``rte_eal_dev_attach`` can be replaced by
|
|
``rte_dev_probe`` or ``rte_eal_hotplug_add``.
|
|
``rte_eal_dev_detach`` can be replaced by
|
|
``rte_dev_remove`` or ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove``.
|
|
|
|
* eal: The scope of ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()``/``rte_dev_probe()``
|
|
and ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``/``rte_dev_remove()`` has been extended.
|
|
In the multi-process model, they will guarantee that the device is
|
|
attached or detached on all processes.
|
|
|
|
* mbuf: The ``__rte_mbuf_raw_free()`` and ``__rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg()``
|
|
functions were deprecated since 17.05 and are replaced by
|
|
``rte_mbuf_raw_free()`` and ``rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg()``.
|
|
|
|
* ethdev: The deprecated functions attach/detach were removed in 18.11.
|
|
``rte_eth_dev_attach()`` can be replaced by ``RTE_ETH_FOREACH_MATCHING_DEV``
|
|
and ``rte_dev_probe()`` or ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()``.
|
|
``rte_eth_dev_detach()`` can be replaced by
|
|
``rte_dev_remove()`` or ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``.
|
|
|
|
* ethdev: A call to ``rte_eth_dev_release_port()`` has been added in
|
|
``rte_eth_dev_close()``. As a consequence, a closed port is freed
|
|
and seen as invalid because of its state ``RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED``.
|
|
This new behavior is enabled per driver for a migration period.
|
|
|
|
* A new device flag, ``RTE_ETH_DEV_NOLIVE_MAC_ADDR``, changes the order of
|
|
actions inside ``rte_eth_dev_start()`` regarding MAC set. Some NICs do not
|
|
support MAC changes once the port has started and with this new device
|
|
flag the MAC can be properly configured in any case. This is particularly
|
|
important for bonding.
|
|
|
|
* The default behavior of CRC strip offload has changed in this
|
|
release. Without any specific Rx offload flag, default behavior by a PMD is
|
|
now to strip CRC. ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` offload flag has been removed.
|
|
To request keeping CRC, application should set ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC``
|
|
Rx offload.
|
|
|
|
* eventdev: The type of the second parameter to
|
|
``rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_caps_get()`` has been changed from uint8_t to
|
|
uint16_t.
|
|
|
|
* kni: By default, interface carrier status is ``off`` which means there won't
|
|
be any traffic. It can be set to ``on`` via ``rte_kni_update_link()`` API or
|
|
via ``sysfs`` interface: ``echo 1 > /sys/class/net/vEth0/carrier``.
|
|
|
|
Note interface should be ``up`` to be able to read/write sysfs interface.
|
|
When KNI sample application is used, ``-m`` parameter can be used to
|
|
automatically update the carrier status for the interface.
|
|
|
|
* kni: When ethtool support is enabled (``CONFIG_RTE_KNI_KMOD_ETHTOOL=y``)
|
|
ethtool commands ``ETHTOOL_GSET & ETHTOOL_SSET`` are no longer supported for
|
|
kernels that have ``ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS & ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS`` support.
|
|
This means ``ethtool "-a|--show-pause", "-s|--change"`` won't work, and
|
|
``ethtool <iface>`` output will have less information.
|

|
|
|
|
.. This section should contain ABI changes. Sample format:
|
|
|
|
* Add a short 1-2 sentence description of the ABI change
|
|
that was announced in the previous releases and made in this release.
|
|
Use fixed width quotes for ``function_names`` or ``struct_names``.
|
|
Use the past tense.

|
|
=========================================================
|
|
|
|
* eal: added ``legacy_mem`` and ``single_file_segments`` values to
|
|
``rte_config`` structure on account of improving DPDK usability when
|
|
using either ``--legacy-mem`` or ``--single-file-segments`` flags.
|
|
|
|
* eal: EAL library ABI version was changed due to previously announced work on
|
|
supporting external memory in DPDK:
|
|
|
|
- Structure ``rte_memseg_list`` now has a new field indicating length
|
|
of memory addressed by the segment list
|
|
- Structure ``rte_memseg_list`` now has a new flag indicating whether
|
|
the memseg list refers to external memory
|
|
- Structure ``rte_malloc_heap`` now has a new field indicating socket
|
|
ID the malloc heap belongs to
|
|
- Structure ``rte_mem_config`` has had its ``malloc_heaps`` array
|
|
resized from ``RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES`` to ``RTE_MAX_HEAPS`` value
|
|
- Structure ``rte_malloc_heap`` now has a ``heap_name`` member
|
|
- Structure ``rte_eal_memconfig`` has been extended to contain next
|
|
socket ID for externally allocated segments
|
|
|
|
* eal: Added ``dma_maskbits`` to ``rte_mem_config`` for keeping the most
|
|
restrictive DMA mask based on the devices addressing limitations.
|
|
|
|
* eal: The structure ``rte_device`` has a new field to reference a
|
|
``rte_bus``. It thus changes the size of the ``struct rte_device`` and the
|
|
inherited device structures of all buses.

=========================================================
|
|
|
|
* When using SR-IOV (VF) support with netvsc PMD and the Mellanox mlx5
|
|
bifurcated driver the Linux netvsc device must be brought up before the
|
|
netvsc device is unbound and passed to the DPDK.
|
|
|
|
* IBM Power8 is not supported in this release of DPDK. IBM Power9 is
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
* ``AVX-512`` support has been disabled for ``GCC`` builds [1] because of a
|
|
crash [2]. This can affect ``native`` machine type build targets on the
|
|
platforms that support ``AVX512F`` like ``Intel Skylake`` processors, and
|
|
can cause a possible performance drop. The immediate workaround is to use
|
|
``clang`` compiler on these platforms. The issue has been identified as a
|
|
GCC defect and reported to the GCC community [3]. Further actions will be
|
|
taken based on the GCC defect result.
