DPDK Release 23.03
==================

New Features
------------

* **Introduced lock annotations.**

  Added lock annotations attributes so that clang can statically analyze lock
  correctness.

* **Added support for reporting lcore usage in applications.**

  * The ``/eal/lcore/list``, ``/eal/lcore/usage`` and ``/eal/lcore/info``
    telemetry endpoints have been added to provide information similar to
    ``rte_lcore_dump()``.
  * Applications can register a callback at startup via
    ``rte_lcore_register_usage_cb()`` to provide lcore usage information.

* **Added platform bus support.**

  A platform bus provides a way to use Linux platform devices which
  are compatible with the vfio-platform kernel driver.

* **Added ARM support for power monitor in the power management library.**

  Added power monitor and wake up API support
  with WFE/SVE instructions for Arm architecture.

* **Added Ethernet link speed for 400 Gb/s.**

  Added Ethernet link speed for 400 Gb/s since there are some devices already
  supporting that speed and it is well standardized in IEEE.

* **Added support for mapping a queue with an aggregated port.**

  * Introduced new function ``rte_eth_dev_count_aggr_ports()``
    to get the number of aggregated ports.
  * Introduced new function ``rte_eth_dev_map_aggr_tx_affinity()``
    to map a Tx queue with an aggregated port of the DPDK port.
  * Added Rx affinity flow matching of an aggregated port.


* **Added flow matching of IPv6 routing extension.**

  Added ``RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_IPV6_ROUTING_EXT``
  to match IPv6 routing extension header fields.

* **Added flow matching of ICMPv6.**

  Added flow items to match ICMPv6 echo request and reply packets.
  Matching patterns can include ICMP identifier and sequence numbers.

* **Added flow flex handle to modify action.**

  Added flex modify item ``RTE_FLOW_FIELD_FLEX_ITEM``.

* **Added index-based rules insertion in flow API.**

  * Added ``rte_flow_table_insertion_type`` to allow the creation
    of index-based template tables in addition to pattern-based tables.
  * Introduced new function ``rte_flow_async_create_by_index()``
    to insert rules by index into index-based template tables.
  * Added hash calculation function used in template tables
    to allow control over the calculation of the rule index for a packet.

* **Added cross-port indirect action in asynchronous flow API.**

  * Enabled the ability to share indirect actions between ports by passing
    the flag ``RTE_FLOW_PORT_FLAG_SHARE_INDIRECT`` to ``rte_flow_configure()``.
  * Added ``host_port_id`` in ``rte_flow_port_attr`` structure
    to reference the port hosting the shared objects.

* **Added atomic query and update indirect flow action.**

  Added synchronous and asynchronous functions to atomically query and update
  indirect flow action:

  * ``rte_flow_action_handle_query_update()``
  * ``rte_flow_async_action_handle_query_update()``

* **Added flow quota action and item.**

  * ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_QUOTA``
  * ``RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_QUOTA``

* **Added flow API to skip congestion management configuration.**

  * Added the action ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SKIP_CMAN`` to skip
    congestion management processing
    based on per flow or packet color identified by a flow meter object.

* **Updated AMD axgbe driver.**

  * Added multi-process support.

* **Updated Atomic Rules ark driver.**

  * Added Arkville FX2 device supporting PCIe Gen5x16.

* **Updated Corigine nfp driver.**

  * Added support for meter options.
  * Added support for rte_flow meter action.

* **Added Intel cpfl driver.**

  Added the new cpfl net driver
  for Intel\ |reg| Infrastructure Processing Unit (Intel\ |reg| IPU) E2100.
  See the :doc:`../nics/cpfl` NIC guide for more details on this new driver.

* **Updated Intel igc driver.**

  * Added support for timesync API.
  * Added support for packet pacing (launch time offloading).

* **Updated Marvell cnxk ethdev driver.**

  * Added support to skip RED using ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SKIP_CMAN``.

* **Updated NVIDIA mlx5 driver.**

  * Added support for matching on ICMPv6 ID and sequence fields.
  * Added support for MPLSoUDP in hardware steering.
  * Added support for enhanced CQE compression layout.

* **Updated Wangxun ngbe driver.**

  * Added chip overheat detection support.

* **Updated Wangxun txgbe driver.**

  * Added chip overheat detection support.
  * Added SFP hot-plug identification support.

* **Added new algorithms to cryptodev.**

  Added SHAKE-128 and SHAKE-256 symmetric secure hash algorithm.

* **Updated Marvell cnxk crypto driver.**

  Added support for SHAKE hash algorithm in cn9k and cn10k.

* **Updated Intel QuickAssist Technology (QAT) crypto driver.**

  * Added support for SHA3 224/256/384/512 plain hash in QAT GEN 3.
  * Added support for SHA3 256 plain hash in QAT GEN 2.
  * Added support for asymmetric crypto in QAT GEN3.

* **Added LZ4 algorithm in compressdev library.**

  Added LZ4 compression algorithm with xxHash-32 for the checksum.

* **Updated NVIDIA mlx5 compress driver.**

  Added LZ4 algorithm support for decompress operation.

* **Added machine learning inference device library.**

  * Added a machine learning inference device framework for management
    and provision of hardware and software machine learning inference devices.
  * Added a test application for machine learning inference device library.

* **Added Marvell CNXK machine learning driver.**

  Added driver which supports machine learning inference operations
  on Marvell's CN10K series of SoC's.

* **Updated the eventdev reconfigure logic for service based adapters.**

  * The eventdev reconfigure logic was enhanced to increment the
    ``rte_event_dev_config::nb_single_link_event_port_queues`` parameter
    if event port config is of type ``RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_SINGLE_LINK``.
  * With this change, the application no longer needs to account for the
    ``rte_event_dev_config::nb_single_link_event_port_queues`` parameter
    required for eth_rx, eth_tx, crypto and timer eventdev adapters.

* **Added PCAP trace support in graph library.**

  * Added support to capture packets at each graph node with packet metadata and
    node name.


Removed Items
-------------

* Removed the experimental empty poll API from the power management library.

  The empty poll mechanism is superseded by the power PMD modes
  i.e. monitor, pause and scale.


API Changes
-----------

* The telemetry command ``/eal/heap_info`` is fixed to print ``Heap_id``.

* The experimental function ``rte_pcapng_copy`` was updated to support a comment
  section in enhanced packet block in the PcapNG library.

* The experimental structures ``struct rte_graph_param``, ``struct rte_graph``
  and ``struct graph`` were updated to support pcap trace in the graph library.


ABI Changes
-----------

* No ABI change that would break compatibility with 22.11.
