db79f2d5c9 net/enic: support GTP header flow matching
The GTP, GTP-U, GTP-C header fields can be matched, however NIC does not
support GTP tunneling so no items after the GTP header can be specified.
If a GTP-U or GTP-C item is specified without a preceding UDP item, the
UDP destination port is implicitly matched. For GTP, the destination UDP
port must be specified but its value is not enforced.

61c7b522d9 net/enic: enable GENEVE offload via VNIC configuration
The admin-configured vNIC settings (i.e. via CIMC or UCSM) now include
Geneve offload. Use that setting to decide whether to enable or
disable Geneve offload and remove the devarg 'geneve-opt'.

Also, the firmware now allows the driver to change the Geneve port
number. So extend udp_tunnel_port_{add,del} to accept Geneve port, in
addition to VXLAN.

8b428cb5a9 net/enic: use 64B completion queue entries if available
Latest VIC adapters support 64B CQ (completion queue) entries as well
as 16B entries available on all VIC models. 64B entries can greatly
reduce cache contention (CPU stall cycles) between DMA writes (Rx
packet descriptors) and polling CPU. The effect is very noticeable on
Intel platforms with DDIO. As most UCS servers are based on Intel
platforms, enable and use 64B CQ entries by default, if
available. Also, add devarg 'cq64' so the user can explicitly disable
64B CQ.

218c4e68c1 mk: use linux and freebsd in config names
Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to

Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the

Some apps like OVS-DPDK use MARK+RSS flow rules in order to offload
packet matching to the NIC. The RSS action in such flow rules simply
indicates "receive packet normally", not trying to override the port

them, as MARK is not a fate-deciding action. And, the RSS action has a
most basic config: default hash, level, types, null key, and identity
queue mapping.

Recent VIC adapters can support these "mark and receive" flow
rules. So, enable support for RSS action for this limited use case.

e7347a8aff net/enic: allow flow mark ID 0
The driver currently accepts mark ID 0 but does not report it in
matching packet's mbuf. For example, the following testpmd command
succeeds. But, the mbuf of a matching IPv4 UDP packet does not have
PKT_RX_FDIR_ID set.

flow create 0 ingress pattern ... actions mark id 0 / queue index 0 / end

The problem has to do with mapping mark IDs (32-bit) to NIC filter
IDs. Filter ID is currently 16-bit, so values greater than 0xffff are
rejected. The firmware reserves filter ID 0 for filters that do not
mark (e.g. steer w/o mark). And, the driver reserves 0xffff for the
flag action. This leaves 1...0xfffe for app use.

It is possible to simply reject mark ID 0 as unsupported. But, 0 is
commonly used (e.g. OVS-DPDK and VPP). So, when adding a filter, set
filter ID = mark ID + 1 to support mark ID 0. The receive handler
subtracts 1 from filter ID to get back the original mark ID.

8a6ff33d6d net/enic: add AVX2 based vectorized Rx handler
Add the vectorized version of the no-scatter Rx handler. It aims to
process 8 descriptors per loop using AVX2 SIMD instructions. This
handler is in its own file enic_rxtx_vec_avx2.c, and makefile and
meson.build are modified to compile it when the compiler supports
AVX2. Under ideal conditions, the vectorized handler reduces
cycles/packet by more than 30%, when compared against the no-scatter
Rx handler. Most implementation ideas come from i40e's AVX2 based
handler, so credit goes to its authors.

At this point, the new handler is meant for field trials, and is not
selected by default. So add a new devarg enable-avx2-rx to allow the
user to request the use of the new handler. When enable-avx2-rx=1, the
driver will consider using the new handler.

Also update the guide doc and introduce the vectorized handler.

Add a new devarg "ig-vlan-rewrite" to allow the user to set
non-default rewrite mode. The UCS VIC may add/remove/modify the VLAN
header of an ingress packet depending on the ingress VLAN rewrite
mode.

By default, the driver sets the pass-through mode, which tells the NIC
"do not touch VLAN header and preserve it as is". This mode is usually
sufficient, but can complicate deployments for certain environments.
For example, OVS-DPDK in UCS blade environments may want to use "untag
default VLAN mode", which removes the VLAN header from an ingress
packet if it matches vNIC's default VLAN.

93fb21fdbe net/enic: enable overlay offload for VXLAN and GENEVE
Recent NIC models support overlay offload. The overlay offload
feature enables the following on the NIC.
- Rx/Tx checksum offloads for both inner and outer packets.
- Rx inner packet type classification.
- TSO.
- Inner RSS.

TX descriptors do not require any changes, except the header length
for TSO. The NIC parses outer/inner packets and performs offloads on
them as necessary. The header length for tunneled TSO includes both
inner and outer headers.

The NIC actually parses and performs the above for NVGRE as well. DPDK
currently has no offload flags for NVGRE, and the hardware has no
controls to individually enable tunnel types either. So do nothing for
now.

The driver enables overlay offload by default. Add a devargs
'disable-overlay=<0|1>' to allow the app to disable it.

0f872d3129 net/enic: support Rx queue interrupts
Enable rx queue interrupts if the app requests them, and vNIC has
enough interrupt resources. Use interrupt vector 0 for link status and
errors. Use vector 1 for rx queue 0, vector 2 for rx queue 1, and so
on. So, with n rx queues, vNIC needs to have at n + 1 interrupts.

For VIC, enabling and disabling rx queue interrupts are simply
mask/unmask operations. VIC's credit based interrupt moderation is not
used, as the app wants to explicitly control when to enable/disable
interrupts.

This version requires MSI-X (vfio-pci). Sharing one interrupt for link
status and rx queues is possible, but is rather complex and has no
user demands.

422ba91716 net/enic: heed the requested max Rx packet size
Currently, enic completely ignores the requested max Rx packet size
(rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len). The desired behavior is that the NIC hardware
drops packets larger than the requested size, even though they are
still smaller than MTU.

Cisco VIC does not have such a feature. But, we can accomplish a
similar (not same) effect by reducing the size of posted receive
buffers. Packets larger than the posted size get truncated, and the
receive handler drops them. This is also how the kernel enic driver
enforces the Rx side MTU.

This workaround works only when scatter mode is *not* used. When
scatter is used, there is currently no way to support
rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len, as the NIC always receives packets up to MTU.

For posterity, add a copious amount of comments regarding the
hardware's drop/receive behavior with respect to max/current MTU.

a5d7a3f77d unify tools naming
The following tools may be installed system-wide.
It may be cleaner and more convenient to find them with the same
dpdk- prefix (especially for autocompletion).
Moreover, the script dpdk_nic_bind.py deserves a new name because it is
not restricted to NICs and can be used for e.g. crypto.

These files are renamed:
pmdinfogen       -> dpdk-pmdinfogen
pmdinfo.py       -> dpdk-pmdinfo.py
dpdk_pdump       -> dpdk-pdump
dpdk_proc_info   -> dpdk-procinfo
dpdk_nic_bind.py -> dpdk-devbind.py
setup.sh         -> dpdk-setup.sh

The tools pmdinfogen, pmdinfo.py and dpdk_pdump are new in 16.07.

The scripts dpdk_nic_bind.py and setup.sh may have been used with
previous releases by end users. That's why a symbolic link still
provide the old name in the installed tools directory.
