Hello tree maintainers,

I prepared this roadmap update based on the 20.08 release notes and my
understanding of the changes that happened in the drivers.
I moved to 20.11 the features still in progress or for which I did not
find changes.
Please chime in if you think there are still things to do wrt the
previously announced features.

Thanks!

No sure this one is completed, Patrick can you share the status?

Other than CBDMA, it looks good to me.

Thanks,
Maxime

You forgot adding Patrick as Cc.
I'll assume this feature is not done.

Arm C11 optimization was not merged.

These ones are completed.

According to Maxime, we should keep this item for 20.11.

Since there is no direct dependency between vhost async API & any specific DMA hardware (including CBDMA),
there will be no code submission to vhost to support CBDMA.

We will submit a patch to the vhost vswitch sample application and use CBDMA & async API to accelerate the sample.

Thanks,

Patrick
