[dpdk-dev] deadline for 2.0 features proposal

[dpdk-dev] deadline for 2.0 features proposal

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hello all,

As previously announced when releasing DPDK 1.8.0
(http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-December/010470.html),
we are going to apply deadlines to schedule the release cycles.

The version 2.0 will integrate only features submitted before
end of January (end of this week) and reviewed before 20th February.
More details on this page:
	http://dpdk.org/dev/roadmap#dates

During the 2nd phase ("Review Period"), only pending features, fixes
and highly desirable cleanups will be accepted.

In case there are some volunteers to clean the code, I maintain a list
of cleanups which could be interesting:
	- use Rx/Tx defaults in testpmd
	- use librte_cfgfile in examples/qos_sched (promised deduplication)
	- use rte_eth_dev_atomic_read_link_status in PMDs
	- use new assert macros for unit tests
	- convert all drivers to new filtering API
	- move non-ethernet API from ethdev to EAL
	- move RTE_MBUF_DATA_DMA_ADDR from all PMDs to a common place
	- move rte_rxmbuf_alloc in API
	- move queue_stats_mapping_set to ixgbe
	- move rte_cache_aligned at beginning of struct declarations
	- detect cache line size
	- remove old VMDQ API
	- remove old filtering API
	- remove Xen ifdefs in memory management
	- remove doxygen warnings
	- choose between RTE_LIBRTE_*_PMD and RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_*

Thank you

Hi,

These features were planned in the 2.0 roadmap but not submitted:
	- cuckoo hash
	- packet distributor (phase 2)
	- bifurcated driver, assuming availability in Linux kernel
	- Broadcom driver
	- Hyper-V driver
	- i40e QoS
	- i40e IEEE1588
	- i40e DCB
	- i40e SR-IOV switching
	- i40e port mirroring

They are now in the 2.1 roadmap.
If you are working on one of these features or plan to do,
please confirm their status and the estimated integration window.

Thanks

There are no enhancements to the packet distributor lib which will be ready for
inclusion inside the 2.0 timeframe.

But there will be something new for 2.1?
What means "phase 2"?

Thanks

I'm currently doing some investigation work in this area, to see what ways we
can improve performance or use other distribution schemes. Depending on what
comes out of the investigations, there may or may not be improvements to push
in the 2.1 timeframe. It's too early to know at this point.

Cuckoo hash will be done in 2.1

Packet distributor will be added to in 2.1

As this was not applied in the Linux Kernel it will not make 2.0 and will have to be redesigned for 2.1

i40e features will be ongoing, Tim will update this with the 2.1 list when its ready.
