2ed019db7c eventdev: remove unneeded dependencies
Since eventdev uses event structures rather than working directly on
mbufs, there is no actual dependencies on the mbuf library. The
inclusion of an mbuf pointer element inside the event itself does not
require the inclusion of the mbuf header file. Similarly the pci
header is not needed, but following their removal, rte_memory.h is
needed for the definition of the __rte_cache_aligned macro.

71f2384328 eventdev: introduce event driven programming model
In a polling model, lcores poll ethdev ports and associated
rx queues directly to look for packet. In an event driven model,
by contrast, lcores call the scheduler that selects packets for
them based on programmer-specified criteria. Eventdev library
adds support for event driven programming model, which offer
applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing,
pipelining, packet ingress order maintenance and
synchronization services to simplify application packet processing.

By introducing event driven programming model, DPDK can support
both polling and event driven programming models for packet processing,
and applications are free to choose whatever model
(or combination of the two) that best suits their needs.

This patch adds the eventdev specification header file.

27052cd63f vhost: do not destroy device on repeat mem table message
It doesn't make any sense to invoke destroy_device() callback at

From the vhost-user spec, it's the GET_VRING_BASE message indicates
the end of a vhost device: the destroy_device() should be invoked
from there (luckily, we already did that).

ea67f6ccf7 vhost: workaround the build dependency on mbuf header
rte_mbuf struct is something more likely will be used only in vhost-user
net driver, while we have made vhost-user generic enough that it can
be used for implementing other drivers (such as vhost-user SCSI), they
have also include <rte_mbuf.h>. Otherwise, the build will be broken.

We could workaround it by using forward declaration, so that other
non-net drivers won't need include <rte_mbuf.h>.

af14759181 vhost: introduce API to start a specific driver
We used to use rte_vhost_driver_session_start() to trigger the vhost-user
session. It takes no argument, thus it's a global trigger. And it could
be problematic.

The issue is, currently, rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags) actually
tries to put it into the session loop (by fdset_add). However, it needs
a set of APIs to set a vhost-user driver properly:
  * rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags);
  * rte_vhost_driver_set_features(path, features);
  * rte_vhost_driver_callback_register(path, vhost_device_ops);

If a new vhost-user driver is registered after the trigger (think OVS-DPDK
that could add a port dynamically from cmdline), the current code will
effectively starts the session for the new driver just after the first
API rte_vhost_driver_register() is invoked, leaving later calls taking
no effect at all.

To handle the case properly, this patch introduce a new API,
rte_vhost_driver_start(path), to trigger a specific vhost-user driver.
To do that, the rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags) is simplified
to create the socket only and let rte_vhost_driver_start(path) to
actually put it into the session loop.

Meanwhile, the rte_vhost_driver_session_start is removed: we could hide
the session thread internally (create the thread if it has not been
created). This would also simplify the application.

NOTE: the API order in prog guide is slightly adjusted for showing the
correct invoke order.

c0674b1bc8 vhost: move the device ready check at proper place

a virtio device is ready or not. However, we only do it when handling

Meanwhile, since we do the check more often than before, the "virtio
not ready" message is dropped, to not flood the screen.

b50a203986 vhost: export the number of vrings
We used to use rte_vhost_get_queue_num() for telling how many vrings.
However, the return value is the number of "queue pairs", which is
very virtio-net specific. To make it generic, we should return the

65388b43f5 vhost: fix fd leaks for vhost-user server mode
A vhost-user server socket could have many connections, thus many connfd.
However, we currently just use one single int var to store it. Meaning,
it will get overwritten every time a new connection is created.

While this will not create fatal issue as it sounds (since the correct
connfd is closured to the event loop thread by fdset_add), it may cause
fd leaks if a user invokes rte_vhost_driver_unregister before shutting
down all connections: it just closes the recent connfd.

A simple example that should be able to reproduce this leaks issues is,
del the ovs vhost-user port while the connected VMs are still alive. (Note
that it's suggested to use one socket for one VM, which makes the issue
not that fatal as it sounds again).

Since we already use a struct "vhost_user_connection" to track all info
about one connection, it's obvious that we should put the connfd there.
Then we could build a connection list inside the vhost_user_socket struct,
to represent all connections belong that socket file.

4e9474141e vhost: fix false sharing
The broadcast_rarp field in the virtio_net struct is checked in the
dequeue datapath regardless of whether descriptors are available or not.

As it is checked with cmpset leading to a write, false sharing on the
virtio_net struct can happen between enqueue and dequeue datapaths
regardless of whether a RARP is requested. In OVS, the issue can cause
a uni-directional performance drop of up to 15%.

Fix that by only performing the cmpset if a read of broadcast_rarp
indicates that the cmpset is likely to succeed.

160cbc815b vhost: remove a hack on queue allocation
We used to allocate queues based on the index from SET_VRING_CALL
request: if corresponding queue hasn't been allocated, allocate it.

Though it's pratically right (it's the first per-vring request we
will get from QEMU for vhost-user negotiation), but it's not technically
right: it's not documented in the vhost-user spec that it will always
be the first per-vring request. For example, SET_VRING_ADDR could also
be the first per-vring request.

Thus, we should not depend the SET_VRING_CALL on queue allocation.
Instead, we could catch all the per-vring messages at the entrance of
request handler, and allocate one if it hasn't been allocated before.

By that, we could remove a hack.

1b815b8959 vhost: try to shrink pfdset when fdset_add fails
fdset_add increments pfdset->num, but fdset_del doesn't decrement
pfdset->num, so if we call fdset_add then fdset_del in a loop without
calling fdset_shrink, we can easily exceed MAX_FDS with only a few
number of fds used.

So my solution is simply to call fdset_shrink in fdset_add when it
exceeds MAX_FDS.

Because fdset_shrink and fdset_add locks pfdset->fd_mutex we can't
call fdset_shrink inside fdset_add because that would cause a dead
lock, so this patch split fdset_shrink in two, fdset_shrink and
fdset_shrink_nolock.

the max name, max value, " = ", and the nul terminator.

8eaff74f22 cfgfile: constrain string search
The call to memchr() uses the absolute length of the string buffer instead
of the actual length of the string returned by fgets().  This causes the
search to go beyond the '\n' character and find ';' characters in random
garbage on the stack.  This then causes the 'len' variable to be updated
and the subsequent search for the '=' character to potentially find one
beyond the first newline character.

Since this bug relies on ';' and '=' characters appearing in random places
in the 'buffer' variable it is intermittently reproducible at best.

f3b1a6981f cfgfile: support configurable comment character
The current cfgfile comment character is hardcoded to ';'.  This commit a
new API to allow the user to specify which comment character to use while
parsing the file.

This is to ease adoption by applications that have an existing
configuration file which may use a different comment character.  For
instance, an application may already have a configuration file that uses
the '#' as the comment character.

The approach of using a new API with an extensible parameters structure was
used rather than simply adding a new argument to the existing API to allow
for additional arguments to be introduced in the future.

1a5efe7499 cfgfile: support global properties section
The current implementation of the cfgfile library requires that all
key=value pairs be within [SECTION] definitions.  The ini file standard
allows for key=value pairs in an unnamed section.

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file#Global_properties

This commit adds the capability of parsing key=value pairs from such an
unnamed section. The CFG_FLAG_GLOBAL_SECTION flag must be passed to the
rte_cfgfile_load() API to enable this functionality.  Any key=value pairs
found before the first section can be accessed in the section named
"GLOBAL".

9256eed78a eal/linux: fix build with glibc 2.25
glibc 2.25 is warning about if applications depend on
sys/types.h for makedev macro, it expects to be included
from <sys/sysmacros.h>

Found this error while testing with GCC 6.3.1 on archlinux.

lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/eal_pci_uio.c: In function ‘pci_mknod_uio_dev’:
lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/eal_pci_uio.c:134:13:
error: In the GNU C Library, "makedev" is defined
by <sys/sysmacros.h>. For historical compatibility, it is
currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to
remove this soon. To use "makedev", include <sys/sysmacros.h>
directly. If you did not intend to use a system-defined macro
"makedev", you should undefine it after including <sys/types.h>. [-Werror]
