1. DPDK Release 24.11
1.1. New Features
Added new bit manipulation API.
Extended support for bit-level operations on single 32 and 64-bit words in
<rte_bitops.h>
with semantically well-defined functions.rte_bit_[test|set|clear|assign|flip]
functions provide excellent performance (by avoiding restricting the compiler and CPU), but give no guarantees in relation to memory ordering or atomicity.rte_bit_atomic_*
provide atomic bit-level operations including the possibility to specify memory ordering constraints.
The new public API elements are polymorphic, using the _Generic-based macros (for C) and function overloading (in C++ translation units).
Added multi-word bitset API.
Introduced a new multi-word bitset API to the EAL.
The RTE bitset is optimized for scenarios where the bitset size exceeds the capacity of a single word (e.g., larger than 64 bits), but is not large enough to justify the overhead and complexity of the more scalable, yet slower,
<rte_bitmap.h>
API.This addition provides an efficient and straightforward alternative for handling bitsets of intermediate size.
Added a per-lcore static memory allocation facility.
Added EAL API
<rte_lcore_var.h>
for statically allocating small, frequently-accessed data structures, for which one instance should exist for each EAL thread and registered non-EAL thread.With lcore variables, data is organized spatially on a per-lcore id basis, rather than per library or PMD, avoiding the need for cache aligning (or RTE_CACHE_GUARDing) data structures, which in turn reduces CPU cache internal fragmentation and improves performance.
Lcore variables are similar to thread-local storage (TLS, e.g. C11
_Thread_local
), but decouples the values’ life times from those of the threads.Extended service cores statistics.
Two new per-service counters are added to the service cores framework.
RTE_SERVICE_ATTR_IDLE_CALL_COUNT
tracks the number of service function invocations where no actual work was performed.RTE_SERVICE_ATTR_ERROR_CALL_COUNT
tracks the number of invocations resulting in an error.
The new statistics are useful for debugging and profiling.
Hardened rte_malloc and related functions.
Added function attributes to
rte_malloc
and similar functions that can catch some obvious bugs at compile time (with GCC 11.0 or later). For example, callingfree
on a pointer that was allocated withrte_malloc
(and vice versa); freeing the same pointer twice in the same routine or freeing an object that was not created by allocation.Updated logging library.
The log subsystem is initialized earlier in startup so all messages go through the library.
If the application is a systemd service and the log output is being sent to standard error then DPDK will switch to journal native protocol. This allows more data such as severity to be sent.
The syslog option has changed. By default, messages are no longer sent to syslog unless the
--syslog
option is specified. Syslog is also supported on FreeBSD (but not on Windows).Log messages can be timestamped with
--log-timestamp
option.Log messages can be colorized with the
--log-color
option.

Added mempool driver support for CN20K SoC.

in previous releases: it handles key=value and only-key cases.Both
rte_kvargs_process
andrte_kvargs_process_opt
reject a NULLkvlist
parameter.

filter
andnames
fields torte_dev_reg_info
structure for filtering by modules and reporting names of registers.cryptodev: The queue pair configuration structure
rte_cryptodev_qp_conf

are updated to include new values to support EdDSA.cryptodev: The
rte_crypto_rsa_xform
struct member to hold private key data in either exponent or quintuple format is changed from a union to a struct data type. This change is to support ASN.1 syntax (RFC 3447 Appendix A.1.2).cryptodev: The padding struct
rte_crypto_rsa_padding
is moved fromrte_crypto_rsa_op_param
torte_crypto_rsa_xform
as the padding information is part of session creation instead of the per packet crypto operation. This change is required to support virtio-crypto specifications.bbdev: The structure
