7958b1310d fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding
This patch enables reading sglort (global resource tag) info into the
mbuf for RX and inserting an FTAG (Fabric Tag) at the beginning of the
packet for TX. The vlan_tci_outer field selected from rte_mbuf structure
for sglort is not used in fm10k now.
In FTAG based forwarding mode, the switch will forward packets according
to glort info in FTAG rather than mac and vlan table.

To activate this feature, user needs to pass a devargs parameter to eal
for fm10k device like "-w 0000:84:00.0,enable_ftag=1". Currently this
feature is supported only on PF, because FM10K_PFVTCTL register is

fbdd4dff36 fm10k/base: fix TLV structures alignment
Per comments from an upstream kernel patch, and looking at how TLV
LE_STRUCT code works, we actually want these structures to be 4byte
aligned, not 1byte aligned.

In practice, 1byte alignment has worked so far because all our
structures end up being a multiple of 4. But if a future TLV
structure were added that had a u8 or similar sticking on the end things
would break. Fix this by using 4byte alignment which will prevent the
TLV LE_STRUCT code from breaking. Update the comment explaining that we
need 4byte alignment of our structures.

360c4545e0 fm10k/base: fix max queues on VF initialization failure
VF drivers must detect how many queues are available. Previously, the
driver assumed that each VF has at minimum 1 queue. This assumption is
incorrect, since it is possible that the PF has not yet assigned the
queues to the VF by the time the VF checks.

To resolve this, we added a check first to ensure that the first queue
is, in fact, owned by the VF at init_hw_vf time.
However, the code flow did not reset hw->mac.max_queues to 0.
In some cases, such as during reinit flows, we call init_hw_vf
without clearing the previous value of hw->mac.max_queues. Due to this,
when init_hw_vf errors out, if its error code is not properly handled
the VF driver may still believe it has queues which no longer belong to
it. Fix this by clearing the hw->mac.max_queues on exit due to errors.

Use bitshift instead of a divisor, because this is faster, and
eliminates any need for a '0' check. In our case, this even works

Because of this, we are also able to remove the check for non-zero value
in the VF code path since that will already be the default Gen3 case.

3b845bf6bc fm10k: fix switch manager high CPU usage
fm10k switch core uses source MAC + VID + SGLORT to do
look up in MAC table. If no match, an exception interrupt
will be sent to the switch manager. Too much of this kind
of exception interrupts cause switch manager side high CPU
usage.
To reproduce this issue, one DPDK testpmd runs on a server
with one fm10k NIC, mac forwards test traffic from one of
fm10k ports to another port. The CPU usage for the switch
manager will go up to about 20% for test traffic rate at
10G bps, comparing to near 0% for no test traffic.

This patch fixes this issue. A default SGLORT is assigned
to each TX queue. This default value works for non-VMDq mode
and current VMDq example. For advanced VMDq usage, e.g.
different source MAC address for different TX queue, FTAG
forwarding function could be used to change this default
SGLORT value.

466757e6fc fm10k: enable broadcast loopback suppression
In FM10K, a single PCIe port can derive out a few logical ports,
like SRIOV PF/VF devices, VMDQ objects. To better manage them, FM10K
silicon assigns a Unique GLORT ID to each logical port.

When a logical port sends a broadcast packet, the silicon will flood
it to all logical ports, including the one that sent the broadcast packet.
To prevent this, silicon has an rxq register to store the glort id of
the logical port that queue binds to.

FM10K has a switch core inside, which has a loopback suppression
mechanism in the switch level. Switch level loopback suppression mostly
works for the ether port traffic.

This patch assigns a SGLORT for each RX queue, and enables PCIe port
level loopback suppression.

This whole transaction - finishing with the default VID being set -

setting will subsequently be changed in dev_start according to the RX

eb57d9b750 fm10k: setup Rx interrupt for PF and VF
In interrupt mode, each rx queue can have one interrupt to notify the
application when packets are available in that queue. Some queues
also can share one interrupt.
Currently, fm10k needs one separate interrupt for mailbox. So, only those
drivers which support multiple interrupt vectors e.g. vfio-pci can work
in fm10k interrupt mode.
This patch uses the RXINT/INT_MAP registers to map interrupt causes
(rx queue and other events) to vectors, and enable these interrupts
through kernel drivers like vfio-pci.

This patch implemented the ops of adding and removing mac
address in i40evf driver. Functions are assigned like:
  .mac_addr_add    =  i40evf_add_mac_addr,
  .mac_addr_remove = i40evf_del_mac_addr,
To support multiple mac addresses setting, this patch also
extended the mac addresses adding and deletion when device
start and stop. Each VF can have a maximum of 64 mac
addresses.

689bba3327 i40e: add VEB switching support
VEB switching feature for i40e is used to enable the switching between the
VSIs connect to the virtual bridge. The old implementation is setting the
virtual bridge mode as VEPA which is port aggregation. Enable the switching
ability by setting the loop back mode for the specific VSIs which connect
to PF or VFs.

VEB/VSI/VEPA are concepts not specific to the i40e HW, the concepts are
from 802.1qbg spec
IEEE EVB tutorial:
http://www.ieee802.org/802_tutorials/2009-11/evb-tutorial-draft-20091116_v09.pdf

VEB: a virtual switch can forward the packet based on the specific match
field.
VSI: a virtual interface connect between the VEB/VEPA and virtual machine.
VEPA: a virtual Ethernet port aggregator will upstream the packets from
VSI to the LAN port.

8cc72f2814 examples/vmdq_dcb: support X710
Currently, the example vmdq_dcb only works on Intel(R) 82599 NICs.
This patch extends this sample to make it work both on Intel(R) 82599
and X710/XL710 NICs by making the following changes:
  1. add VMDQ base queue checking to avoid forwarding on PF queues.
  2. assign each VMDQ pool to a MAC address.
  3. add more arguments (nb-tcs, enable-rss) to change the default
     setting
  4. extend the max number of queues from 128 to 1024.
This patch also reworks the user guide for the vmdq_dcb sample.
