Replace "entries" by "queues", it clarifies the case.

|

=======================

|
|
See the :doc:`guidelines document for details of the ABI policy </contributing/versioning>`.
|
|
API and ABI deprecation notices are to be posted here.

Deprecation Notices
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* The following fields have been deprecated in rte_eth_stats:
|
|
ibadcrc, ibadlen, imcasts, fdirmatch, fdirmiss,
|
|
tx_pause_xon, rx_pause_xon, tx_pause_xoff, rx_pause_xoff
|
|
|
|
* The ethdev structures rte_eth_link, rte_eth_dev_info and rte_eth_conf
|
|
must be updated to support 100G link and to have a cleaner link speed API.
|
|
|
|
* ABI changes is planned for the reta field in struct rte_eth_rss_reta_entry64
|
|
which handles at most 256 queues (8 bits) while newer NICs support larger
|
|
tables (512 queues).
|
|
It should be integrated in release 2.3.
|
|
|
|
* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow in order to support
|
|
extend flow director's input set. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI
|
|
changes, but release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
|
|
|
|
* ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_ipv4_flow and rte_eth_ipv6_flow to
|
|
include more fields to be matched against. The release 2.2 does not
|
|
contain these ABI changes, but release 2.3 will.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_tunnel_filter_conf. Change the fields
|
|
of outer_mac and inner_mac from pointer to struct in order to keep the
|
|
code's readability. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes, but
|
|
release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
|
|
|
|
* The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
|
|
RED actions.
|
|
|
|
* librte_pipeline: The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port
|
|
and table action handlers will be updated:
|
|
the pipeline parameter will be added, the packets mask parameter will be
|
|
either removed (for input port action handler) or made input-only.
|
|
|
|
* ABI changes are planned in cmdline buffer size to allow the use of long
|
|
commands (such as RETA update in testpmd). This should impact
|
|
CMDLINE_PARSE_RESULT_BUFSIZE, STR_TOKEN_SIZE and RDLINE_BUF_SIZE.
|
|
It should be integrated in release 2.3.
