This removes the dependency on specific Mellanox OFED libraries by
using the upstream rdma-core and linux upstream community code.
Both rdma-core upstream and Mellanox OFED are Linux user-space packages:
1. Rdma-core is Linux upstream user-space package.(Generic)
2. Mellanox OFED is Mellanox's Linux user-space package.(Proprietary)
The difference between the two are the APIs towards the kernel.
Support for x86-32 is removed due to issues in rdma-core library.
ICC compilation will be supported as soon as the following patch is
integrated in rdma-core:

Mellanox NICs has a limitation on the number of mbuf segments a multi
segment mbuf can have. The max number depends on the Tx offloads
requested.
The current code not enforce such limitation, which might cause
malformed work requests to be written to the device.
This commit adds verification for the number of mbuf segments posted
to the device. In case of overflow the packet will not be sent.
In addition update the nic documentation with the limitation.
Considering device limitation is 63 data segments in a work request, the
maximum number of segment in mbuf was calculated taking TSO as the worst
case:
max_nb_segs = 63 - (control_segment + ethernet segment +
TSO headers inline + inline segment +
extra inline to align to cacheline)

The patch simplifies DPDK applications analysis for developers which use
Intel® VTune Amplifier.
The empty cycles are such iterations that yielded no RX packets. As far as
DPDK is running in poll mode, wasting cycles is equal to wasting CPU time.
Tracing such iterations can identify that device is underutilized. Tracing
empty cycles becomes even more critical if a system uses a lot of Ethernet
ports.
The patch gives possibility to analyze empty cycles without changing
application code. All needs to be done is just to reconfigure and rebuild
the DPDK itself with CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_ITT_WASTED_RX_ITERATIONS
enbled. The important thing here is that this does not affect DPDK code.
The profiling code is not being compiled if user does not specify config
flag.

This patch adds a new eth_dev layer API function rte_eth_dev_reset(),
which a DPDK application can call to reset a NIC and keep its port id
afterwards. It means that all software resources allocated in the ethdev
layer are kept, and software & hardware resources of the NIC within the
NIC's PMD are reset to a state simular to that obtained by calling the
PCI dev_uninit() and then dev_init(). This effective sequence of
dev_uninit() and dev_init() is packed into a single API function
rte_eth_dev_reset().
Please see the comments before the declaration of rte_eht_dev_reset()
in lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.h to get more details on why this
function is needed, what it does, when it should be called
and what an application should do after calling this function.

This function is called from a constructor function,
when crypto PMDs are registered.
If malloc fails, there is no way to recover from it,
so it is better to allocate this structure
statically, in each PMD.
Therefore, it is required to add an extra parameter in

In this patch, we introduce five APIs to support TCP/IPv4 GRO.
- gro_tcp4_reassemble: reassemble an inputted TCP/IPv4 packet.
- gro_tcp4_tbl_create: create a TCP/IPv4 reassembly table, which is used
to merge packets.
- gro_tcp4_tbl_destroy: free memory space of a TCP/IPv4 reassembly table.
- gro_tcp4_tbl_pkt_count: return the number of packets in a TCP/IPv4
reassembly table.
- gro_tcp4_tbl_timeout_flush: flush timeout packets from a TCP/IPv4
reassembly table.
TCP/IPv4 GRO API assumes all inputted packets are with correct IPv4
and TCP checksums. And TCP/IPv4 GRO API doesn't update IPv4 and TCP
checksums for merged packets. If inputted packets are IP fragmented,
TCP/IPv4 GRO API assumes they are complete packets (i.e. with L4
headers).
In TCP/IPv4 GRO, we use a table structure, called TCP/IPv4 reassembly
table, to reassemble packets. A TCP/IPv4 reassembly table includes a key
array and a item array, where the key array keeps the criteria to merge
packets and the item array keeps packet information.
One key in the key array points to an item group, which consists of
packets which have the same criteria value. If two packets are able to
merge, they must be in the same item group. Each key in the key array
includes two parts:
- criteria: the criteria of merging packets. If two packets can be
merged, they must have the same criteria value.
- start_index: the index of the first incoming packet of the item group.
Each element in the item array keeps the information of one packet. It
mainly includes three parts:
- firstseg: the address of the first segment of the packet
- lastseg: the address of the last segment of the packet
- next_pkt_index: the index of the next packet in the same item group.
All packets in the same item group are chained by next_pkt_index.
With next_pkt_index, we can locate all packets in the same item
group one by one.
To process an incoming packet needs three steps:
a. check if the packet should be processed. Packets with one of the
following properties won't be processed:
- FIN, SYN, RST, URG, PSH, ECE or CWR bit is set;
- packet payload length is 0.
b. traverse the key array to find a key which has the same criteria
value with the incoming packet. If find, goto step c. Otherwise,
insert a new key and insert the packet into the item array.
c. locate the first packet in the item group via the start_index in the
key. Then traverse all packets in the item group via next_pkt_index.
If find one packet which can merge with the incoming one, merge them
together. If can't find, insert the packet into this item group.

Generic Receive Offload (GRO) is a widely used SW-based offloading
technique to reduce per-packet processing overhead. It gains
performance by reassembling small packets into large ones. This
patchset is to support GRO in DPDK. To support GRO, this patch
implements a GRO API framework.
To enable more flexibility to applications, DPDK GRO is implemented as
a user library. Applications explicitly use the GRO library to merge
small packets into large ones. DPDK GRO provides two reassembly modes.
One is called lightweight mode, the other is called heavyweight mode.
If applications want to merge packets in a simple way and the number
of packets is relatively small, they can use the lightweight mode.
If applications need more fine-grained controls, they can choose the
heavyweight mode.
rte_gro_reassemble_burst is the main reassembly API which is used in
lightweight mode and processes N packets at a time. For applications,
performing GRO in lightweight mode is simple. They just need to invoke
rte_gro_reassemble_burst. Applications can get GROed packets as soon as
rte_gro_reassemble_burst returns.
rte_gro_reassemble is the main reassembly API which is used in
heavyweight mode and tries to merge N inputted packets with the packets
in GRO reassembly tables. For applications, performing GRO in heavyweight
mode is relatively complicated. Before performing GRO, applications need
to create a GRO context object, which keeps reassembly tables of
desired GRO types, by rte_gro_ctx_create. Then applications can use
rte_gro_reassemble to merge packets. The GROed packets are in the
reassembly tables of the GRO context object. If applications want to get
them, applications need to manually flush them by flush API.

This way, it gives flexibility to the user to have a single

enough to contain the biggest private session size) or
separate mempools for different drivers.
Also, since the mempool is now created outside the

Isolated mode can be requested by applications on individual ports to avoid
ingress traffic outside of the flow rules they define.
Besides making ingress more deterministic, it allows PMDs to safely reuse
resources otherwise assigned to handle the remaining traffic, such as
global RSS configuration settings, VLAN filters, MAC address entries,
legacy filter API rules and so on in order to expand the set of possible
flow rule types.
To minimize code complexity, PMDs implementing this mode may provide
partial (or even no) support for flow rules when not enabled (e.g. no
priorities, no RSS action). Applications written to use the flow API are
therefore encouraged to enable it.
Once effective, leaving isolated mode may not be possible depending on PMD
implementation.

TX coalescing waits for ETH_COALESCE_PKT_NUM packets to be coalesced
across bursts before transmitting them. For slow traffic, such as
100 PPS, this approach increases latency since packets are received
one at a time and tx coalescing has to wait for ETH_COALESCE_PKT
number of packets to arrive before transmitting.
To fix this:
- Update rx path to use status page instead and only receive packets
when either the ingress interrupt timer threshold (5 us) or
the ingress interrupt packet count threshold (32 packets) fires.
(i.e. whichever happens first).
- If number of packets coalesced is <= number of packets sent
by tx burst function, stop coalescing and transmit these packets
immediately.

This is an ABI change notice for DPDK 17.08 in ethdev
about changes in rte_eth_txmode structure.
Currently Tx offloads are enabled by default, and can be disabled
using ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO* flags. This behaviour is not consistent with
the Rx side where the Rx offloads are disabled by default and enabled
according to bit field in rte_eth_rxmode structure.
The proposal is to disable the Tx offloads by default, and provide
a way for the application to enable them in rte_eth_txmode structure.
Besides of making the Tx configuration API more consistent for
applications, PMDs will be able to provide a better out of the
box performance.
Finally, as part of the work, the ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO* will
be superseded as well.

The PCI and virtual bus are planned to be moved to the generic
drivers/bus directory in v17.08. For this change to be possible, the EAL
must be made completely independent.
The rte_devargs structure currently holds device representation internal
to those two busses. It must be made generic before this work can be
completed.
Instead of using either a driver name for a vdev or a PCI address for a
PCI device, a devargs structure will have to be able to describe any
possible device on all busses, without introducing dependencies on
any bus-specific device representation. This will break the ABI for this
structure.
Additionally, an evolution will occur regarding the device parsing
from the command-line. A user must be able to set which bus will handle
which device, and this setting is integral to the definition of a
device.
The format has not yet been formally defined, but a proposition will
follow soon for a new command line parameter format for all devices.
