1. DPDK Release 24.11
1.1. New Features
Added new bit manipulation API.
Extended support for bit-level operations on single 32 and 64-bit words in
<rte_bitops.h>
with semantically well-defined functions.rte_bit_[test|set|clear|assign|flip]
functions provide excellent performance (by avoiding restricting the compiler and CPU), but give no guarantees in relation to memory ordering or atomicity.rte_bit_atomic_*
provide atomic bit-level operations including the possibility to specify memory ordering constraints.
The new public API elements are polymorphic, using the _Generic-based macros (for C) and function overloading (in C++ translation units).
Added multi-word bitset API.
Introduced a new multi-word bitset API to the EAL.
The RTE bitset is optimized for scenarios where the bitset size exceeds the capacity of a single word (e.g., larger than 64 bits), but is not large enough to justify the overhead and complexity of the more scalable, yet slower,
<rte_bitmap.h>
API.This addition provides an efficient and straightforward alternative for handling bitsets of intermediate size.
Added a per-lcore static memory allocation facility.
Added EAL API
<rte_lcore_var.h>
for statically allocating small, frequently-accessed data structures, for which one instance should exist for each EAL thread and registered non-EAL thread.With lcore variables, data is organized spatially on a per-lcore id basis, rather than per library or PMD, avoiding the need for cache aligning (or RTE_CACHE_GUARDing) data structures, which in turn reduces CPU cache internal fragmentation and improves performance.
Lcore variables are similar to thread-local storage (TLS, e.g. C11
_Thread_local
), but decouples the values’ life times from those of the threads.Extended service cores statistics.
Two new per-service counters are added to the service cores framework.
RTE_SERVICE_ATTR_IDLE_CALL_COUNT
tracks the number of service function invocations where no actual work was performed.RTE_SERVICE_ATTR_ERROR_CALL_COUNT
tracks the number of invocations resulting in an error.
The new statistics are useful for debugging and profiling.
Hardened rte_malloc and related functions.
Added function attributes to
rte_malloc
and similar functions that can catch some obvious bugs at compile time (with GCC 11.0 or later). For example, callingfree
on a pointer that was allocated withrte_malloc
(and vice versa); freeing the same pointer twice in the same routine or freeing an object that was not created by allocation.Updated logging library.
- The log subsystem is initialized earlier in startup so all messages go through the library.
- If the application is a systemd service and the log output is being sent to standard error then DPDK will switch to journal native protocol. This allows more data such as severity to be sent.
- The syslog option has changed.
By default, messages are no longer sent to syslog unless the
--syslog
option is specified. Syslog is also supported on FreeBSD (but not on Windows). - Log messages can be timestamped with
--log-timestamp
option. - Log messages can be colorized with the
--log-color
option.

1.3. API Changes
- kvargs: reworked the process API.

in previous releases: it handles key=value and only-key cases.- Both
rte_kvargs_process
andrte_kvargs_process_opt
reject a NULLkvlist
parameter.
- The already existing
- net: The IPv4 header structure
rte_ipv4_hdr
has been marked as two bytes aligned. - net: The ICMP message types

1.4. ABI Changes
- eal: The maximum number of file descriptors that can be passed to a secondary process has been increased from 8 to 253 (which is the maximum possible with Unix domain sockets). This allows for more queues when using software devices such as TAP and XDP.
- ethdev: Added
filter
andnames
fields torte_dev_reg_info
structure for filtering by modules and reporting names of registers. - cryptodev: The queue pair configuration structure
rte_cryptodev_qp_conf

andRTE_CRYPTO_RSA_PADDING_TYPE_LIST_END
are removed to allow subsequent addition of new asymmetric algorithms and RSA padding types. - cryptodev: The enum
rte_crypto_asym_xform_type
and structrte_crypto_asym_op
are updated to include new values to support EdDSA. - cryptodev: The
rte_crypto_rsa_xform
struct member to hold private key data in either exponent or quintuple format is changed from a union to a struct data type. This change is to support ASN.1 syntax (RFC 3447 Appendix A.1.2). - cryptodev: The padding struct
rte_crypto_rsa_padding
is moved fromrte_crypto_rsa_op_param
torte_crypto_rsa_xform
as the padding information is part of session creation instead of the per packet crypto operation. This change is required to support virtio-crypto specifications. - bbdev: The structure
rte_bbdev_stats
was updated to add a new parameter to optionally report the number of enqueue batches availableenqueue_depth_avail
. - dmadev: Added
nb_priorities
field to therte_dma_info
structure andpriority
field to therte_dma_conf
structure to get device supported priority levels and configure required priority from the application. - eventdev: Added the
preschedule_type
field torte_event_dev_config
structure. - eventdev: Removed the single-event enqueue and dequeue function pointers
from
rte_event_fp_fps
. - graph: To accommodate node specific xstats counters, added
xstat_cntrs
,xstat_desc
andxstat_count
torte_graph_cluster_node_stats
, added new structurerte_node_xstats
torte_node_register
and addedxstat_off

1.7.3. 24.11.2 Known Issues
- DPDK 24.11.2 contains fixes from DPDK 25.03 and 8364a0f276eb (“net/ixgbe: fix VF registers for E610”)
- Issues identified/fixed in DPDK main branch after DPDK 25.03 may be present in DPDK 24.11.2
- There is a report that https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1606 is still present despite the fix being backported. This needs further investigation for DPDK 24.11.3.
