+* ethdev: New offload flags ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_PTYPE``, ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_RSS``
+ and ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK`` will be added in 19.11.
+ This will allow application to enable or disable PMDs from updating
+ ``rte_mbuf`` fields ``rte_mbuf::packet_type``, ``rte_mbuf::hash::rss`` and
+ ``rte_mbuf::hash::fdir`` respectively.
+ In 19.11 PMDs will still update the fields even when the offloads are not
+ enabled. This is done as an optimization to avoid writes to ``rte_mbuf`` fields,
+ the exact semantics of the flags will be worked out later.
