SPDK now generates pkg-config files to simplify the process of determining which

libraries must be linked into an SPDK application.

was moved to separate dpdk-kmods repository. If required, users need to refer to

dpdk-kmods repository to build the driver.



### nvme



Directives support was added to the NVMe driver.



Two async APIs 'spdk_nvme_ctrlr_cmd_directive_receive' and 'spdk_nvme_ctrlr_cmd_directive_send'

are added for Directive Send and Directive Receive command, respectively.



Added a new function `spdk_nvme_ctrlr_reset_subsystem` to perform a NVMe

subsystem reset. Note: The NVMf target does not support the subsystem reset yet.



Add a new function 'spdk_nvme_bytes_to_numd' to transfer bytes to number of

dwords.

### env



Added a new custom transport `SPDK_NVME_TRANSPORT_VFIOUSER` to enable NVMe

driver running with NVMe over vfio-user target.

The pci_whitelist, pci_blacklist and master_core members of struct spdk_env_opts

have been deprecated.  The new members are named pci_allowed, pci_blocked and

main_core respectively.



Added the vfio-user custom transport implementation in NVMe driver which can connect

to NVMe over vfio-user target via vfio-user transport.

An `opts_size`element was added in the `spdk_app_opts` structure

to solve the ABI compatiblity issue between different SPDK version. An `opts_size`

An `opts_size`element was added in the `spdk_app_opts` structure

to solve the ABI compatiblity issue between different SPDK version. An `opts_size`

parameter is added into `spdk_app_opts_init` function.

The PCI BDF whitelist option has been removed from the ioat_scan_accel_engine RPC.

ioat PCI functions can still be allowed or denied using SPDK application command

line options.



### isa-l



Updated ISA-L submodule to v2.30.0.



### json



A new API `spdk_jsonrpc_send_bool_response` was added to allow sending response for

writing json bool results into one function.

Update API `bdev_nvme_set_options` and add a keep_alive_timeout_ms parameter. Now you

can specify the keep_alive_timeout before creating NVMe bdev.



### nbd



Change the return type of function `spdk_nbd_stop` from void to int. And update the

`spdk_nbd_fini` with two parameters to make its behavior from sync to async.
