Some PMDs (e.g. hns3) could detect hardware or firmware errors, one
error recovery mode is to report RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event, and
wait for application invoke rte_eth_dev_reset() to recover the port,
however, this mode has the following weaknesses:
1) Due to different hardware and software design, some NIC port recovery
process requires multiple handshakes with the firmware and PF (when the
port is VF). It takes a long time to complete the entire operation for
one port, If multiple ports (for example, multiple VFs of a PF) are
reset at the same time, other VFs may fail to be reset. (Because the
reset processing is serial, the previous VFs must be processed before
the subsequent VFs).
2) The impact on the application layer is great, and it should stop
working queues, stop calling Rx and Tx functions, and then call
rte_eth_dev_reset(), and re-setup all again.
This patch introduces proactive error handling mode, the PMD will try
to recover from the errors itself. In this process, the PMD sets the
data path pointers to dummy functions (which will prevent the crash),
and also make sure the control path operations failed with retcode
-EBUSY.
Because the PMD recovers automatically, the application can only sense
that the data flow is disconnected for a while and the control API
returns an error in this period.
In order to sense the error happening/recovering, three events were
introduced:
1) RTE_ETH_EVENT_ERR_RECOVERING: used to notify the application that it
detected an error and the recovery is being started. Upon receiving the
event, the application should not invoke any control path APIs until
receiving RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS or
RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_FAILED event.
2) RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS: used to notify the application that
it recovers successful from the error, the PMD already re-configures the
port, and the effect is the same as that of the restart operation.
3) RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_FAILED: used to notify the application that it
recovers failed from the error, the port should not usable anymore. The
application should close the port.

Enabling trace points at runtime was not working if no trace point had
been enabled first at rte_eal_init() time. The reason was that
trace.args reflected the arguments passed to --trace= EAL option.
To fix this:
- the trace subsystem initialisation is updated: trace directory
creation is deferred to when traces are dumped (to avoid creating
directories that may not be used),
- per lcore memory allocation still relies on rte_trace_is_enabled() but
this helper now tracks if any trace point is enabled. The
documentation is updated accordingly,
- cleanup helpers must always be called in rte_eal_cleanup() since some
trace points might have been enabled and disabled in the lifetime of
the DPDK application,
With this fix, we can update the unit test and check that a trace point
callback is invoked when expected.
Note:
- the 'trace' global variable might be shadowed with the argument
passed to the functions dealing with trace point handles.
'tp' has been used for referring to trace_point object.

This patchset bumps the minimum meson version from 0.49.2 to 0.53.2.
Ideally, the minimum version should be 0.53 without a point release, but
some DPDK builds (mingw) are broken with 0.53.0 due to issue[1], fixed
by commit[2] in 0.53.1. Therefore we use the latest point release from
0.53 branch i.e. 0.53.2.
Some new features of interest which can now be used in DPDK with this
new minimum meson version:
* can do header-file checks directly inside find_library calls, rather
than needing a separate check.[v0.50].
* can pass multiple cross-files at the same time when cross-compiling
[v0.51].
* "alias_target" function, to allow use to give better/shorter names
for particular build objects [v0.52].
* auto-generation of clang-format [v0.50] and clang-tidy[v0.52] targets
when those tools are present and config dotfiles are present.
Similarly ctags and cscope are added as targets when those tools are
present [v0.53]
* meson module for filesystem operations, so meson can now check for the
presence of particular files or directories [v0.53].
* "summary" function to provide a configuration summary at the end of

2. Configure Rx queue with rx_offload buffer split on.
3. Set the protocol type of buffer split. E.g. set rxhdrs eth,eth-ipv4

Currently, Rx buffer split supports length based split. With Rx queue
offload RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT enabled and Rx packet segment
configured, PMD will be able to split the received packets into
multiple segments.
However, length based buffer split is not suitable for NICs that do split
based on protocol headers. Given an arbitrarily variable length in Rx
packet segment, it is almost impossible to pass a fixed protocol header to
driver. Besides, the existence of tunneling results in the composition of
a packet is various, which makes the situation even worse.
This patch extends current buffer split to support protocol header based
buffer split. A new proto_hdr field is introduced in the reserved field
of rte_eth_rxseg_split structure to specify protocol header. The proto_hdr
field defines the split position of packet, splitting will always happen
after the protocol header defined in the Rx packet segment. When Rx queue
offload RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT is enabled and corresponding
protocol header is configured, driver will split the ingress packets into
multiple segments.
Examples for proto_hdr field defines:
To split after ETH-IPV4-UDP, it should be defined as
proto_hdr = RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER | RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4_EXT_UNKNOWN |
RTE_PTYPE_L4_UDP
For inner ETH-IPV4-UDP, it should be defined as
proto_hdr = RTE_PTYPE_TUNNEL_GRENAT | RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L2_ETHER |
RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L3_IPV4_EXT_UNKNOWN | RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L4_UDP
If the protocol header is repeated with the previously defined one,
the repeated part should be omitted. For example, split after ETH, ETH-IPV4
and ETH-IPV4-UDP, it should be defined as
proto_hdr0 = RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER
proto_hdr1 = RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4_EXT_UNKNOWN
proto_hdr2 = RTE_PTYPE_L4_UDP
If protocol header split can be supported by a PMD, the
rte_eth_buffer_split_get_supported_hdr_ptypes function can
be used to obtain a list of these protocol headers.
For example, let's suppose we configured the Rx queue with the
following segments:
seg0 - pool0, proto_hdr0=RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER | RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4,
off0=2B
seg1 - pool1, proto_hdr1=RTE_PTYPE_L4_UDP, off1=128B
seg2 - pool2, proto_hdr2=0, off1=0B
The packet consists of ETH_IPV4_UDP_PAYLOAD will be split like
following:
seg0 - ipv4 header @ RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM + 2 in mbuf from pool0
seg1 - udp header @ 128 in mbuf from pool1
seg2 - payload @ 0 in mbuf from pool2
Now buffer split can be configured in two modes. User can choose length
or protocol header to configure buffer split according to NIC's
capability. For length based buffer split, the mp, length, offset field
in Rx packet segment should be configured, while the proto_hdr field
must be 0. For protocol header based buffer split, the mp, offset,
proto_hdr field in Rx packet segment should be configured, while the
length field must be 0.
Note: When protocol header split is enabled, NIC may receive packets
which do not match all the protocol headers within the Rx segments.
At this point, NIC will have two possible split behaviors according to
matching results, one is exact match, another is longest match.
The split result of NIC must belong to one of them.
The exact match means NIC only do split when the packets exactly match all
the protocol headers in the segments. Otherwise, the whole packet will be
put into the last valid mempool. The longest match means NIC will do split
until packets mismatch the protocol header in the segments. The rest will
be put into the last valid pool.
Pseudo-code for exact match:
FOR each seg in segs except last one
IF proto_hdr is not matched THEN
BREAK
END IF
END FOR
IF loop breaked THEN
put whole pkt in last seg
ELSE
put protocol header in each seg
put everything else in last seg
END IF
Pseudo-code for longest match:
FOR each seg in segs except last one
IF proto_hdr is matched THEN
put protocol header in seg
ELSE
BREAK
END IF
END FOR
put everything else in last seg

Some of the HW has support for choosing memory pools based on the
packet's size.
This is often useful for saving the memory where the application
can create a different pool to steer the specific size of the
packet, thus enabling more efficient usage of memory.
For example, let's say HW has a capability of three pools,
- pool-1 size is 2K
- pool-2 size is > 2K and < 4K
- pool-3 size is > 4K
Here,
pool-1 can accommodate packets with sizes < 2K
pool-2 can accommodate packets with sizes > 2K and < 4K
pool-3 can accommodate packets with sizes > 4K
With multiple mempool capability enabled in SW, an application may
create three pools of different sizes and send them to PMD. Allowing
PMD to program HW based on the packet lengths. So that packets with
less than 2K are received on pool-1, packets with lengths between 2K
and 4K are received on pool-2 and finally packets greater than 4K
are received on pool-3.

This patch adds a capability to place hairpin Rx queue in locked device
memory. This capability is equivalent to storing hairpin RQ's data
buffers in locked internal device memory.
Hairpin Rx queue creation is extended with requesting that RQ is
allocated in locked internal device memory. If allocation fails and
force_memory hairpin configuration is set, then hairpin queue creation
(and, as a result, device start) fails. If force_memory is unset, then
PMD will fallback to allocating memory for hairpin RQ in unlocked
internal device memory.
To allow such allocation, the user must set HAIRPIN_DATA_BUFFER_LOCK
flag in FW using mlxconfig tool.

This patch adds a capability to place hairpin Tx queue in host memory
managed by DPDK. This capability is equivalent to storing hairpin SQ's
WQ buffer in host memory.
Hairpin Tx queue creation is extended with allocating a memory buffer of
proper size (calculated from required number of packets and WQE BB size
advertised in HCA capabilities).
force_memory flag of hairpin queue configuration is also supported.
If it is set and:
- allocation of memory buffer fails,
- or hairpin SQ creation fails,
then device start will fail. If it is unset, PMD will fallback to
creating the hairpin SQ with WQ buffer located in unlocked device
memory.

Before this patch, implementation details and configuration of hairpin
queues were decided internally by the PMD. Applications had no control
over the configuration of Rx and Tx hairpin queues, despite number of
descriptors, explicit Tx flow mode and disabling automatic binding.
This patch addresses that by adding:
- Hairpin queue capabilities reported by PMDs.
- New configuration options for Rx and Tx hairpin queues.
Main goal of this patch is to allow applications to provide
configuration hints regarding placement of hairpin queues.
These hints specify whether buffers of hairpin queues should be placed
in host memory or in dedicated device memory. Different memory options
may have different performance characteristics and hairpin configuration
should be fine-tuned to the specific application and use case.
This patch introduces new hairpin queue configuration options through
rte_eth_hairpin_conf struct, allowing to tune Rx and Tx hairpin queues
memory configuration. Hairpin configuration is extended with the
following fields:
- use_locked_device_memory - If set, PMD will use specialized on-device
memory to store RX or TX hairpin queue data.
- use_rte_memory - If set, PMD will use DPDK-managed memory to store RX
or TX hairpin queue data.
- force_memory - If set, PMD will be forced to use provided memory
settings. If no appropriate resources are available, then device start
will fail. If unset and no resources are available, PMD will fallback
to using default type of resource for given queue.
If application chooses to use PMD default memory configuration, all of
these flags should remain unset.
Hairpin capabilities are also extended, to allow verification of support
of given hairpin memory configurations. Struct rte_eth_hairpin_cap is
extended with two additional fields of type rte_eth_hairpin_queue_cap:
- rx_cap - memory capabilities of hairpin RX queues.
- tx_cap - memory capabilities of hairpin TX queues.
Struct rte_eth_hairpin_queue_cap exposes whether given queue type
supports use_locked_device_memory and use_rte_memory flags.

libbpf v0.8.0 deprecates the bpf_get_link_xdp_id() and
bpf_set_link_xdp_fd() functions. Use meson to detect if
bpf_xdp_attach() is available and if so, use the recommended
replacement functions bpf_xdp_query_id(), bpf_xdp_attach()
and bpf_xdp_detach().

DPAA driver has dependency on kernel to perform various functionalities.
So kernel and DPDK version should be compatible for proper working.
This patch updates the DPAA guide with the information that user can
refer to find the compatible kernel version.
