ConnectX-5 supports enhanced version of multi-packet send (MPS). An MPS Tx
descriptor can carry multiple packets either by including pointers of
packets or by inlining packets. Inlining packet data can be helpful to
better utilize PCIe bandwidth. In addition, Enhanced MPS supports hybrid
mode - mixing inlined packets and pointers in a descriptor. This feature is
enabled by default if supported by HW.

This patch mainly allocates structure to store queue/irq mapping,

eventfds for each Rx queue and tell the kernel about the eventfd/intr
binding.
Note: So far, we hard-code 1:1 queue/irq mapping (each rx queue has
one exclusive interrupt), like this:
vec 0 -> config irq
vec 1 -> rxq0
vec 2 -> rxq1
...
which means, the "vectors" option of QEMU should be configured with
a value >= N+1 (N is the number of the queue pairs).

The introduce of virtio 1.0 support brings yet another set of ops, badly,
it's not handled correctly, that it breaks the multiple process support.
The issue is the data/function pointer may vary from different processes,
and the old used to do one time set (for primary process only). That
said, the function pointer the secondary process saw is actually from the
primary process space. Accessing it could likely result to a crash.
Kudos to the last patches, we now be able to maintain those info that may
vary among different process locally, meaning every process could have its
own copy for each of them, with the correct value set. And this is what
this patch does:
- remap the PCI (IO port for legacy device and memory map for modern
device)
- set vtpci_ops correctly
After that, multiple process would work like a charm. (At least, it

Convert the NIC feature table in the overview doc into a set of ini
files and add functions into the Sphinx conf.py file to auto-generate
them back into an RST table.
The reason for doing this is to make it easier for PMD maintainers to
update the feature matrix that makes up the table and to avoid
frequent and hard to resolve conflicts in doc/guides/nics/overview.rst.
A NIC/PMD feature matrix is now an ini file like the following:
$ head doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e.ini
;
; Features of the i40e network driver.
;
[Features]
Link status = Y
Link status event = Y
Rx interrupt = Y

The standard Virtual Ethernet Bridge(VEB) definition in 1Qbg is a bridge
which has an uplink port to the outside world (maybe another bridge), but
a "floating" VEB is a special VEB without an uplink port to the outside.
Instead, traffic can be sent from one VF to another using the floating
VEB - even when the physical link on the NIC port is down.
This patch adds floating VEB options in the devargs for i40e driver.
Using these parameters, applications can decide whether to use legacy
VEB/VEPA or a floating VEB.
To enable this feature, the user should pass a devargs parameter to the
EAL, for example "-w 84:00.0,enable_floating_veb=1", to control whether
the PMD will to use the floating VEB feature or not.
Once the floating VEB feature is enabled, all the VFs created by
this PF device are connected to the floating VEB.
NOTE: The floating VEB functionality requires a NIC firmware version
of 5.0 or greater.

Mini (compressed) completion queue entries (CQEs) are returned by the
NIC when PCI back pressure is detected, in which case the first CQE64
contains common packet information followed by a number of CQE8
providing the rest, followed by a matching number of empty CQE64
entries to be used by software for decompression.
Before decompression:
0 1 2 6 7 8
+-------+ +---------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 | | CQE64 |

This patch does not perform the entire decompression step as it would be
really expensive, instead the first CQE64 is consumed and an internal
context is maintained to interpret the following CQE8 entries directly.
Intermediate empty CQE64 entries are handed back to HW without further

For performance reasons, this patch uses 2 VIC RQs per RQ presented to
DPDK.
The VIC requires that each descriptor be marked as either a start of
packet (SOP) descriptor or a non-SOP descriptor. A one RQ solution
requires skipping descriptors when receiving small packets and results
in bad performance when receiving many small packets.
The 2 RQ solution makes use of the VIC feature that allows a receive
on primary queue to 'spill over' into another queue if the receive is
too large to fit in the buffer assigned to the descriptor on the
primary queue. This means that there is no skipping of descriptors
when receiving small packets and results in much better performance.

When packet size is cache aligned and CRC stripping is enabled, 4 fewer

The patch introduces a new PMD. This PMD is implemented as thin wrapper
of librte_vhost. It means librte_vhost is also needed to compile the PMD.
The vhost messages will be handled only when a port is started. So start
a port first, then invoke QEMU.
The PMD has 2 parameters.
- iface: The parameter is used to specify a path to connect to a
virtio-net device.
- queues: The parameter is used to specify the number of the queues
virtio-net device has.
(Default: 1)
Here is an example.
$ ./testpmd -c f -n 4 --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=/tmp/sock0,queues=1' -- -i
To connect above testpmd, here is qemu command example.

Add virtual PMD which communicates with COMBO cards through sze2
layer using libsze2 library.
Since link_speed is uint16_t, there can not be used number for 100G
speed, therefore link_speed is set to ETH_LINK_SPEED_10G until the
type of link_speed is solved.

Increase max_rx_pktlen to accommodate jumbo frame size. Perform sanity
checks and enable jumbo mode in rx queue setup. Set link mtu based on
max_rx_pktlen.

The RX_OLFLAGS option was renamed from DISABLE to ENABLE in driver code
and linux config.
It is now renamed also in bsd config and documentation.

librte_pmd_mlx4.so needs to be linked with libibverbs otherwise, the PMD is
not able to open Mellanox devices and the following message is printed by
testpmd at startup
"librte_pmd_mlx4: cannot access device, is mlx4_ib loaded?".
Applications dependency on libibverbs are moved to be only valid in static
mode, in shared mode, applications do not depend on it anymore,
librte_pmd_mlx4.so keeps this dependency and thus is linked with libibverbs.
MLX4 cannot be supported in combined shared library because there is no clean
way of adding -libverbs to the combined library.

RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_RX_ALLOW_BULK_ALLOC config option is not really
necessary, as bulk alloc rx function can be used anyway, as long as the
necessary conditions are satisfied, which are checked already
in the library.

This change adds automatic figure references to the docs. The
figure numbers in the generated Html and PDF docs are now
automatically numbered based on section.
Requires Sphinx >= 1.3.1.
The patch makes the following changes.
* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption
to the figure.
* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.
* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
for figure.
* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
have one so that they can be cross-referenced.
* Renamed existing image target to match the image
name for consistency.
* Replaces the Figures lists with automatic :numref:
:ref: entries to generate automatic numbering
and captions.
* Replaces "Figure" references with automatic :numref:
references.

CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_SCATTER_GATHER was renamed into CONFIG_RTE_MBUF_REFCNT
by commit 62814bc2e9 and removed by commit 4769bc5a27.
Some traces remain because of delayed patches.
It can also be removed from doxygen config.
It is now poisoned in rte_mbuf.h to warn any misuse.
