Elastic Flow Distributor (EFD) is a distributor library that uses
perfect hashing to determine a target/value for a given incoming flow key.
It has the following advantages:
- First, because it uses perfect hashing, it does not store
the key itself and hence lookup performance is not dependent
on the key size.
- Second, the target/value can be any arbitrary value hence
the system designer and/or operator can better optimize service rates
and inter-cluster network traffic locating.
- Third, since the storage requirement is much smaller than a hash-based
flow table (i.e. better fit for CPU cache), EFD can scale to
millions of flow keys.
Finally, with current optimized library implementation performance
is fully scalable with number of CPU cores.

This patch mainly allocates structure to store queue/irq mapping,
and configure queue/irq mapping down through PCI ops. It also creates
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
passed my fuzzy test)

In igb_uio, iomem is mapped, and both ioport and io mem are recorded
into uio framework (then into sysfs files), which is duplicated with
what Linux has already provided for user space, and makes the code
too complex.
For iomem, DPDK user space code never opens or reads files under
/sys/pci/bus/devices/xxxx:xx:xx.x/uio/uioY/maps/. Instead,
/sys/pci/bus/devices/xxxx:xx:xx.x/resourceY are used to map device
memory.
For ioport, non-x86 platforms cannot read from files under
/sys/pci/bus/devices/xxxx:xx:xx.x/uio/uioY/portio/ directly, because
non-x86 platforms need to map port region for access in user space,
see non-x86 version pci_uio_ioport_map(). x86 platforms can use the
the same way as uio_pci_generic.
This will remove iomem and ioport mapping in igb_uio kernel module,
and adjusts the iomem implementation in both igb_uio and
uio_pci_generic:
- for x86 platform, get ports info from /proc/ioports;
- for non-x86 platform, map and get ports info by pci_uio_ioport_map().
Note: this will affect those applications who are using files under
/sys/pci/bus/devices/xxxx:xx:xx.x/uio/uioY/maps/ and
/sys/pci/bus/devices/xxxx:xx:xx.x/uio/uioY/portio/.

Following discussions in [1] and [2], introduce a new bit to
describe the Rx checksum status in mbuf.
Before this patch, only one flag was available:
PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD: L4 cksum of RX pkt. is not OK.
And same for L3:
PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD: IP cksum of RX pkt. is not OK.
This had 2 issues:
- it was not possible to differentiate "checksum good" from
"checksum unknown".
- it was not possible for a virtual driver to say "the checksum
in packet may be wrong, but data integrity is valid".
This patch tries to solve this issue by having 4 states (2 bits)
for the IP and L4 Rx checksums. New values are:
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN: no information about the RX L4 checksum
-> the application should verify the checksum by sw
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD: the L4 checksum in the packet is wrong
-> the application can drop the packet without additional check
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_GOOD: the L4 checksum in the packet is valid
-> the application can accept the packet without verifying the
checksum by sw
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_NONE: the L4 checksum is not correct in the packet
data, but the integrity of the L4 data is verified.
-> the application can process the packet but must not verify the
checksum by sw. It has to take care to recalculate the cksum
if the packet is transmitted (either by sw or using tx offload)
And same for L3 (replace L4 by IP in description above).
This commit tries to be compatible with existing applications that
only check the existing flag (CKSUM_BAD).

Introduce the function rte_net_get_ptype() that parses a mbuf and
returns its packet type. For now, the following packet types are parsed:
L2: Ether
L3: IPv4, IPv6
L4: TCP, UDP, SCTP
The goal here is to provide a reference implementation for packet type
parsing. This function will be used by testpmd in next commits, allowing
to compare its result with the value given by the hardware.
This function will also be useful when implementing Rx offload support
in virtio pmd. Indeed, the virtio protocol gives the csum start and
offset, but it does not give the L4 protocol nor it tells if the
checksum is relevant for inner or outer. This information has to be
known to properly set the ol_flags in mbuf.
