This patch removes the SSE Rx and Tx paths from the i40e, iavf and ice drivers. Each of these drivers have faster vector paths (AVX2 and AVX-512) which have feature parity with the SSE paths. In environments where AVX2 or AVX-512 are not supported, the scalar path will still be used, which also has feature parity.
This series is intended for the next-net-intel tree. v2: * Remove deprecation notice * Provide more detailed explanation in the release notes. * Usage of function type enum instead of pkt burst pointer in the supported_ptypes_get functions (simplify the logic by removing #ifdefs) * More renaming in iavf to remove all mentions of SSE * Removal of IAVF_REL_MBUFS_AVX512_VEC enum value as it's not used Ciara Loftus (5): net/i40e: remove SSE vector path net/iavf: remove SSE vector path net/ice: remove SSE vector path doc: add release note entry for SSE removal doc: remove deprecation notice of SSE in some Intel drivers doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst | 8 - doc/guides/rel_notes/release_26_03.rst | 7 + drivers/net/intel/i40e/i40e_ethdev.h | 3 - drivers/net/intel/i40e/i40e_rxtx.c | 72 +- drivers/net/intel/i40e/i40e_rxtx_vec_avx2.c | 20 + drivers/net/intel/i40e/i40e_rxtx_vec_sse.c | 717 ---------- drivers/net/intel/i40e/meson.build | 1 - drivers/net/intel/iavf/iavf.h | 6 +- drivers/net/intel/iavf/iavf_rxtx.c | 65 +- drivers/net/intel/iavf/iavf_rxtx.h | 9 +- drivers/net/intel/iavf/iavf_rxtx_vec_avx2.c | 33 + drivers/net/intel/iavf/iavf_rxtx_vec_sse.c | 1395 ------------------- drivers/net/intel/iavf/meson.build | 1 - drivers/net/intel/ice/ice_ethdev.h | 3 - drivers/net/intel/ice/ice_rxtx.c | 74 +- drivers/net/intel/ice/ice_rxtx.h | 6 - drivers/net/intel/ice/ice_rxtx_vec_avx2.c | 23 + drivers/net/intel/ice/ice_rxtx_vec_sse.c | 737 ---------- drivers/net/intel/ice/meson.build | 1 - 19 files changed, 153 insertions(+), 3028 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 drivers/net/intel/i40e/i40e_rxtx_vec_sse.c delete mode 100644 drivers/net/intel/iavf/iavf_rxtx_vec_sse.c delete mode 100644 drivers/net/intel/ice/ice_rxtx_vec_sse.c -- 2.43.0
