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.
