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, calling free on a pointer that was allocated with rte_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.

  • Updated Marvell cnxk mempool driver.

    • Added mempool driver support for CN20K SoC.

  • Added more ICMP message types and codes.

    Added new ICMP message types and codes from RFC 792 in rte_icmp.h.

  • Added IPv6 address structure and related utilities.

    A new IPv6 address structure is now available in rte_ip6.h. It comes with a set of helper functions and macros.

  • Added link speed lanes API.

    Added functions to query or force the link lanes configuration.

  • Added Ethernet device clock frequency adjustment.

    Added the function rte_eth_timesync_adjust_freq to adjust the clock frequency for Ethernet devices.

  • Extended flow table index features.

    • Extended the flow table insertion type enum with the RTE_FLOW_TABLE_INSERTION_TYPE_INDEX_WITH_PATTERN type.
    • Added a function for inserting a flow rule by index with pattern: rte_flow_async_create_by_index_with_pattern().
    • Added a flow action to redirect packets to a particular index in a flow table: RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_JUMP_TO_TABLE_INDEX.

  • Added support for dumping registers with names and filtering by modules.

    Added a new function rte_eth_dev_get_reg_info_ext() to filter the registers by module names and get the information (names, values and other attributes) of the filtered registers.

  • Updated Amazon ENA (Elastic Network Adapter) net driver.

    • Modified the PMD API that controls the LLQ header policy.

1.4. ABI Changes

  • eal: The maximum number of file descriptors that can be passed to a secondary process has been increased from 8 to 253 (which is the maximum possible with Unix domain sockets). This allows for more queues when using software devices such as TAP and XDP.
  • ethdev: Added filter and names fields to rte_dev_reg_info structure for filtering by modules and reporting names of registers.
  • cryptodev: The queue pair configuration structure rte_cryptodev_qp_conf is updated to have a new parameter to set priority of that particular queue pair.
  • cryptodev: The list end enumerators RTE_CRYPTO_ASYM_XFORM_TYPE_LIST_END and RTE_CRYPTO_RSA_PADDING_TYPE_LIST_END are removed to allow subsequent addition of new asymmetric algorithms and RSA padding types.
  • cryptodev: The enum rte_crypto_asym_xform_type and struct rte_crypto_asym_op 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 from rte_crypto_rsa_op_param to rte_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 rte_bbdev_stats was updated to add a new parameter to optionally report the number of enqueue batches available enqueue_depth_avail.
  • dmadev: Added nb_priorities field to the rte_dma_info structure and priority field to the rte_dma_conf structure to get device supported priority levels and configure required priority from the application.
  • eventdev: Added the preschedule_type field to rte_event_dev_config structure.
  • eventdev: Removed the single-event enqueue and dequeue function pointers from rte_event_fp_fps.
  • graph: To accommodate node specific xstats counters, added xstat_cntrs, xstat_desc and xstat_count to rte_graph_cluster_node_stats, added new structure rte_node_xstats to rte_node_register and added xstat_off to rte_node.
  • graph: The members dispatch and xstat_off of the structure rte_node have been marked as RTE_CACHE_LINE_MIN_SIZE bytes aligned.
