Subject: [PATCH v2 09/10] doc: add release notes for new extensible BPF API
Date: Thu, 14 May 2026 10:37:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260514093713.90118-10-marat.khalili@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260514093713.90118-1-marat.khalili@huawei.com>
Document the following new eBPF features introduced in this release:
* Extensible BPF loading API (rte_bpf_load_ex, rte_bpf_prm_ex).
* Loading and executing eBPF programs with up to 5 arguments.
* Installing already loaded eBPF programs as port callbacks.

+ Added an extensible BPF loading API comprising the function
+ ``rte_bpf_load_ex`` and struct ``rte_bpf_prm_ex``. This enables new features
+ such as loading classic BPF (cBPF), loading ELF images directly from memory
+ buffers, and executing multi-argument programs, while avoiding future ABI

+ Added support for loading and executing BPF programs with up to 5 arguments.
+ This introduces new API functions ``rte_bpf_exec_ex``,
+ ``rte_bpf_exec_burst_ex``, and ``rte_bpf_get_jit_ex``.
+
+* **Added BPF port callback installation API.**
+
+ Added new API functions ``rte_bpf_eth_rx_install`` and
+ ``rte_bpf_eth_tx_install`` for installing already loaded BPF programs as
+ port callbacks (as opposed to loading them directly from ELF files).
