-* ethdev: New offload flags ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK`` will be added in 19.11.
- This will allow application to enable or disable PMDs from updating
- ``rte_mbuf::hash::fdir``.
- This scheme will allow PMDs to avoid writes to ``rte_mbuf`` fields on Rx and
- thereby improve Rx performance if application wishes do so.
- In 19.11 PMDs will still update the field even when the offloads are not
- enabled.
+* ethdev: New offload flag ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_FLOW_MARK`` will be added in 20.02.
+ This will provide application an information if ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_MARK``
+ or ``RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_FLAG`` is supported and, what is more important,
+ allow an application to let PMD know that it would like to use these
+ features.
+ PMD may use the information to choose optimal datapath implementation and
+ configure HW appropriately to optimize performance and/or resources usage.
* cryptodev: support for using IV with all sizes is added, J0 still can
be used but only when IV length in following structs ``rte_crypto_auth_xform``,
