Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
- no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
- all allocated ports are available to the application
Such application iterates over ports by its own mean.
The most common pattern is to request the port count and
assume ports with index in the range [0..count[ can be used.
In order to fix this common mistake in all external applications,
the function rte_eth_dev_count is deprecated, while introducing
the new functions rte_eth_dev_count_avail and rte_eth_dev_count_total.

Some DPDK applications wrongly assume these requirements:
- no hotplug, i.e. ports are never detached
- all allocated ports are available to the application
Such application assume a valid port index is in the range [0..count[.
There are three consequences when using such wrong design:
- new ports having an index higher than the port count won't be valid
- old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be valid
Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.
All applications and examples inside this repository - except testpmd -
must be fixed to use the function rte_eth_dev_is_valid_port.

- old ports being detached (RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED) can be seen as ghosts

Such mistake will be less common with growing hotplug awareness.

Since the DPDK build now includes both static and shared libraries, we need
a new way to enable building the examples using either method from the one
installation. To do this, we add in a default "shared" target, and a
separate "static" target which links in the DPDK static libraries. In both
cases, the final application name is symlinked to the last-built static or
shared target, with both binaries able to co-exist in the build directory.

Change the example app Makefiles to query if DPDK is installed and
registered using pkg-config. If so, build directly using pkg-config info,
otherwise fall back to using the original build system with RTE_SDK and
RTE_TARGET
This commit changes the makefiles for the basic examples, i.e. those which
do not have multiple subdirectories underneath the main examples dir.
Examples not covered are:
* ethtool
* multi_process
* performance-thread
* quota_watermark
* netmap_compat
* server_node_efd
* vm_power_manager

Reorder the text in the makefiles, so that the app name and the source
files are listed first. This then will allow them to be shared later in a
combined makefile building with pkg-config and RTE_SDK-based build system.

Add support for having selected example apps built as part of a meson,
ninja build. By default none are built, and those to be built should be
named directly in the -Dexamples='' meson configuration argument.
This is useful for developers working on a feature who want to use a
suitable example, or examples, to test that feature, as they can compile
everything up in one go, and run the example without having to do a ninja
install first.
This commit adds examples which don't consist of multiple apps in
subdirectories to the meson build, so they can be built by default by
passing -Dexamples parameter to meson.
Not included are the following examples:
* ethtool
* multi-process
* netmap_compat
* performance-thread
* quota_watermark
* server_node_efd
* vm_power_manager
To test the apps added here, use the following command, merged to one line,
to add them to your meson build (command to be run inside the build
directory):
meson configure -Dexamples=bbdev_app,bond,cmdline,distributor,\
eventdev_pipeline_sw_pmd, exception_path,helloworld,\
ip_fragmentation,ip_pipeline,ip_reassembly, ipsec-secgw,\
ipv4_multicast,kni,l2fwd-cat,l2fwd-crypto,l2fwd-jobstats,\
l2fwd-keepalive,l2fwd,l3fwd-acl,l3fwd-power,l3fwd-vf,l3fwd,\
link_status_interrupt,load_balancer,packet_ordering,ptpclient,\
qos_meter,qos_sched,rxtx_callbacks,skeleton,tep_termination,\

Latest mbuf changes (priv_size addition and related fixes)
exposed small problem with testpmd and few other sample apps:
when mbuf size is exaclty 2KB or less, that causes
ixgbe PMD to select scattered RX even for configs with 'normal'
max packet length (max_rx_pkt_len == ETHER_MAX_LEN).
To overcome that problem and unify the code, new macro was created
to represent recommended minimal buffer length for mbuf.
When appropriate, samples are updated to use that macro.

- ip_pipeline
- ipv4_multicast
- vhost

This is a very simple example app for doing packet forwarding with the
Intel DPDK. It's designed to serve as a start point for people new to
the Intel DPDK and who want to develop a new app.
Therefore it's meant to:
* have as good a performance out-of-the-box as possible, using the
best-known settings for configuring the PMDs, so that any new apps can
be based off it.
* be kept as short as possible to make it easy to understand it and get
started with it.
