Hello all,
I am back from holidays; thanks for all the
patches/reviews/comments done during last weeks.
I'd like to have a version 1.7.1, ideally at the end of this week.
For the coming days,
- first priority is to integrate bug fixes
- some changes which do not imply API could be part of 1.7.1
- please, do not send more features until 1.8.0-rc1
- features that have been been *properly* reviewed or acked before
end of august will be integrated in 1.8.0-rc1
- all pending features which do not have any review will be postponed
after 1.8.0-rc1
- then rc2 will integrate new features if *properly* reviewed at that time
I'd like to have some cleanups in version 1.8. Examples:
- get rid of doxygen warnings
- check if compile time options can be moved to run time
- rename some options (CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_*_PMD -> CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_*)
- merge common code between linux and bsd implementions
- check secondary process rights
- remove drivers lists from code for easy integration of new drivers
- use rte_eth_dev_atomic_read_link_status in drivers
- use librte_cfgfile instead of examples/qos_sched
- add sysfs functions as eal services
- replace printf calls by rte functions
- use new assert macros for unit tests
- remove kni traces from bsd
- remove bare metal traces
- compress test_lpm*_routes.h
Volunteers are welcome :)
