Deprecation Notices
-------------------
-* eal: certain structures will change in EAL on account of upcoming external
- memory support. Aside from internal changes leading to an ABI break, the
- following externally visible changes will also be implemented:
-
- - ``rte_memseg_list`` will change to include a boolean flag indicating
- whether a particular memseg list is externally allocated. This will have
- implications for any users of memseg-walk-related functions, as they will
- now have to skip externally allocated segments in most cases if the intent
- is to only iterate over internal DPDK memory.
- - ``socket_id`` parameter across the entire DPDK will gain additional meaning,
- as some socket ID's will now be representing externally allocated memory. No
- changes will be required for existing code as backwards compatibility will
- be kept, and those who do not use this feature will not see these extra
- socket ID's.
-
* eal: both declaring and identifying devices will be streamlined in v18.11.
New functions will appear to query a specific port from buses, classes of
device and device drivers. Device declaration will be made coherent with the

experimental API ``rte_pktmbuf_attach_extbuf()`` is used. Removal of the macro
is to fix this semantic inconsistency.
-* ethdev: In v18.11 ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` offload flag will be removed, default
- behavior without any flag will be changed to CRC strip.
- To keep CRC ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` flag is required.
- ``KEEP_CRC``: Keep CRC in packet
- No flag: Strip CRC from packet

Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
-* ethdev: In v18.11 ``rte_eth_dev_attach()`` and ``rte_eth_dev_detach()``
- will be removed.
- Hotplug functions ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()`` and ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``
- should be used instread.
- Function ``rte_eth_dev_get_port_by_name()`` may be used to find
- identifier of the added port.

-* eal: In v18.11 ``rte_eal_dev_attach()`` and ``rte_eal_dev_detach()``
- will be removed.
- Hotplug functions ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()`` and ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``
- should be used directly.
-
* pdump: As we changed to use generic IPC, some changes in APIs and structure
are expected in subsequent release.
- ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir`` will be removed;
- The parameter, ``path``, of ``rte_pdump_init`` will be removed;
- The enum ``rte_pdump_socktype`` will be removed.
-
-* ethdev: flow API function ``rte_flow_copy()`` will be deprecated in v18.11
- in favor of ``rte_flow_conv()`` (which will appear in that version) and
- subsequently removed for v19.02.
-
- This is due to a lack of flexibility and reliance on a type unusable with
- C++ programs (struct rte_flow_desc).
