Since 23.11 is an LTS release it is time to remove the experimental bandaid off many API's. There are about 890 API's marked with experimental on current main branch. This addresses the easy to remove ones and gets it down to about 510 places.
The rule is any API that has been in since 22.11 needs to have experimental removed (or have API deleted). The experimental flag is not a "get out of ABI stability for free" card v4 - fix build in security and squash one fixup v3 - rebase and skip cryptodev Stephen Hemminger (28): bpf: make rte_bpf_dump and rte_bpf_convert stable API's cmdline: make experimental API's stable ethdev: mark rte_mtr API's as stable ethdev: mark rte_tm API's as stable pdump: make API's stable pcapng: mark API's as stable net: remove experimental from functions rcu: remove experimental from rte_rcu_qbsr lpm: remove experimental mbuf: remove experimental from create_extbuf hash: remove experimental from toeplitz hash timer: remove experimental from rte_timer_next_ticks sched: remove experimental dmadev: mark API's as not experimental meter: remove experimental warning from comments power: remove experimental from API's kvargs: remove experimental flag ip_frag: mark a couple of functions stable member: remove experimental tag security: remove experimental flag from macsec vhost: remove experimental from some API's bbdev: remove experimental tag ipsec: remove experimental from SA API compressdev: remove experimental flag regexdev: remove experimental tag node: remove some of the experimental tags table: remove experimental from API port: make API's stable MAINTAINERS | 10 +- doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst | 6 -- lib/bbdev/rte_bbdev.h | 4 - lib/bbdev/rte_bbdev_op.h | 2 - lib/bbdev/version.map | 15 ++- lib/bpf/rte_bpf.h | 2 - lib/bpf/version.map | 9 +- lib/cmdline/cmdline.h | 1 - lib/cmdline/cmdline_parse.h | 4 - lib/cmdline/cmdline_rdline.h | 4 - lib/cmdline/version.map | 26 ++--- lib/compressdev/rte_comp.h | 6 -- lib/compressdev/rte_compressdev.h | 26 ----- lib/compressdev/rte_compressdev_pmd.h | 6 -- lib/compressdev/version.map | 2 +- lib/dmadev/rte_dmadev.h | 85 ---------------- lib/dmadev/version.map | 2 +- lib/ethdev/rte_mtr.h | 25 +---- lib/ethdev/rte_tm.h | 34 ------- lib/ethdev/version.map | 88 ++++++++-------- lib/hash/rte_thash.h | 44 -------- lib/hash/rte_thash_gfni.h | 8 -- lib/hash/rte_thash_x86_gfni.h | 8 -- lib/hash/version.map | 16 +-- lib/ip_frag/rte_ip_frag.h | 2 - lib/ip_frag/version.map | 9 +- lib/ipsec/rte_ipsec.h | 2 - lib/ipsec/version.map | 9 +- lib/kvargs/rte_kvargs.h | 4 - lib/kvargs/version.map | 8 +- lib/lpm/rte_lpm.h | 4 - lib/lpm/version.map | 7 +- lib/mbuf/rte_mbuf.h | 1 - lib/mbuf/version.map | 8 +- lib/member/rte_member.h | 54 ---------- lib/member/version.map | 12 +-- lib/meter/rte_meter.h | 12 --- lib/net/rte_ip.h | 19 ---- lib/node/rte_node_eth_api.h | 1 - lib/node/rte_node_ip4_api.h | 2 - lib/node/version.map | 16 ++- lib/pcapng/rte_pcapng.h | 11 -- lib/pcapng/version.map | 6 +- lib/pdump/rte_pdump.h | 12 --- lib/pdump/version.map | 11 +- lib/pipeline/rte_port_in_action.h | 8 -- lib/pipeline/rte_swx_ctl.h | 57 ----------- lib/pipeline/rte_swx_pipeline.h | 29 ------ lib/pipeline/rte_table_action.h | 16 --- lib/pipeline/version.map | 140 ++++++++++++-------------- lib/port/version.map | 24 ++--- lib/power/rte_power.h | 4 - lib/power/rte_power_guest_channel.h | 4 - lib/power/rte_power_pmd_mgmt.h | 40 -------- lib/power/rte_power_uncore.h | 5 - lib/power/version.map | 40 +++----- lib/rcu/rte_rcu_qsbr.h | 20 ---- lib/rcu/version.map | 15 +-- lib/regexdev/rte_regexdev.h | 92 ----------------- lib/regexdev/version.map | 2 +- lib/sched/rte_pie.h | 8 -- lib/sched/rte_sched.h | 5 - lib/sched/version.map | 18 +--- lib/security/rte_security.h | 27 ----- lib/security/version.map | 18 ++-- lib/table/rte_swx_table_learner.h | 10 -- lib/table/rte_swx_table_selector.h | 6 -- lib/table/rte_table_hash_func.h | 9 -- lib/table/version.map | 18 +--- lib/timer/rte_timer.h | 4 - lib/timer/version.map | 7 +- lib/vhost/rte_vhost.h | 5 - lib/vhost/rte_vhost_async.h | 19 ---- lib/vhost/rte_vhost_crypto.h | 1 - lib/vhost/version.map | 51 ++++------ 75 files changed, 219 insertions(+), 1126 deletions(-) -- 2.39.2
