These are the features that we plan to contribute: vHost Selective Data Path: Provide support for a selective datapath in the = vhost-user library. The default datapath will be the existing software impl= ementation. Alternative data paths can be added to support acceleration for= virtio-compatible devices. IFC VF Driver: A new Intel device driver for accelerated virtio data path l= everaging the selective datapath support in the vhost-user library. vHost Interrupt Mode: Add support for interrupt mode to vhost. This can be = used during low traffic periods to save power or to allow the CPU to be use= d for other tasks. Virtio-User Server Mode: Currently, in a container environment if the vhost= -user backend restarts there's no way for it to reconnect to virtio-user. T= o address this, support for server mode will be added. In this mode the soc= ket file is created by virtio-user, which the backend then connects to. Thi= s means that if the backend restarts, it can reconnect to virtio-user and c= ontinue communications. Virtio Crypto: Support for virtio-crypto will be added to the vhost-user li= brary. A new sample application will also be created which wil run in the h= ost and will handle crypto requests sent by the guest. Ethdev API to Query Recommended Descriptor Ring Sizes: Provide an ethdev AP= I to allow applications to query the recommended descriptor ring sizes for = a NIC port. The value returned should depend on the speed of the port (10G,= 40G etc.) and the number of queues configured. Memory Subsystem Improvements: Continue redesign of memory system to make D= PDK less "greedy" and more suitable for use in container/cloud native envir= onments. Specific changes include: provide ability to scale up/down memory = usage at run time, provide the ability to register/unregister non-DPDK-owne= d hugepages with VFIO. IP Pipeline Usability Enhancements: Improve usability of the IP Pipeline by= : provide an API to add pipeline configuration profiles after initializatio= n, refactor the IP Pipeline into separate libraries to facilitate reuse. Compression: Provide a new compressdev API to support hardware and software= acceleration of compression/decompression. A PMD for a software implementa= tion using the Intel(r) Storage Acceleration Library will be provided. Tunnel API: A new API will be created to manage tunnel end points, includin= g hardware acceleration for tunnel encap/decap. Port Representor: A port representor is a virtual PMD which provides a logi= cal representation of any port, either physical or host-facing, on a multi-= port port device. This logical port provides a mechanism for control and mo= nitoring. The primary purpose of port representors in DPDK is to support th= e configuration, management and monitoring of virtual functions of a networ= k interface. A data path will also be supported which will allow physical p= orts to be presented as separate logical ports within an application. Support PPPoE/PPPoL2TPv2 in I40E PMD: Support for PPPoE and PPPoL2TPv2 will= be added to the I40E PMD. Update Intel PMDs for Rx/Tx Offload API. Intel PMDs will be updated to use = the new Rx/Tx offload API. Add Uevent Support for Hotplug: The uevent mechanism will be used to monito= r the hotplug status of a device. This will allow an application to detect = when a device has been added or removed.
