This patch provides the initial implementation of the AES-NI multi-buffer
based crypto poll mode driver using DPDK's new cryptodev framework.
This PMD is dependent on Intel's multibuffer library, see the whitepaper
"Fast Multi-buffer IPsec Implementations on Intel® Architecture
Processors", see ref 1 for details on the library's design and ref 2 to
download the library itself. This initial implementation is limited to
supporting the chained operations of "hash then cipher" or "cipher then
hash" for the following cipher and hash algorithms:
Cipher algorithms:
- RTE_CRYPTO_CIPHER_AES_CBC (with 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit keys supported)
Authentication algorithms:
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA1_HMAC
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA256_HMAC
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512_HMAC
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_XCBC_MAC
Important Note:
Due to the fact that the multi-buffer library is designed for
accelerating IPsec crypto operation, the digest's generated for the HMAC
functions are truncated to lengths specified by IPsec RFC's, ie RFC2404
for using HMAC-SHA-1 with IPsec specifies that the digest is truncate
from 20 to 12 bytes.
Build instructions:
To build DPDK with the AESNI_MB_PMD the user is required to download
(ref 2) and compile the multi-buffer library on there system before
building DPDK. The environmental variable AESNI_MULTI_BUFFER_LIB_PATH
must be exported with the path where you extracted and built the multi
buffer library and finally set CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_MB=y in
config/common_linuxapp.
Current status: It's doesn't support crypto operation
across chained mbufs, or cipher only or hash only operations.

This patch supports a limited subset of QAT device functionality,
currently supporting chaining of cipher and hash operations for the

- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_SHA512_HMAC
- RTE_CRYPTO_AUTH_AES_XCBC_MAC
Some limitation on this patchset which shall be contributed in a

- Chained mbufs are not supported.
- Hash only is not supported.
- Cipher only is not supported.
- Only in-place is currently supported (destination address is

The functions rte_eth_rx_queue_count and rte_eth_descriptor_done are
supported by very few PMDs. Therefore, it is best to check for support
for the functions in the ethdev library, so as to avoid run-time crashes
at run-time if the application goes to use those APIs. Similarly, the
port parameter should also be checked for validity.
Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>
The functions for rx/tx burst, for rx_queue_count and descriptor_done in
the ethdev library all had two copies of the code. One copy in
rte_ethdev.h was inlined for performance, while a second was in
rte_ethdev.c for debugging purposes only. We can eliminate the second
copy of the functions by moving the additional debug checks into the
copies of the functions in the header file. [Any compilation for
debugging at optimization level 0 will not inline the function so the
result should be same as when the function was in the .c file.]

testpmd> set txsplit rand

After some time TX on ixgbe queue will hang,
and all packet transmission on that queue will stop.
This bug was first reported and investigated by
Vlad Zolotarov <vladz@cloudius-systems.com>:
"We can reproduce this issue when stressed the xmit path with a lot of highly
fragmented TCP frames (packets with up to 33 fragments with non-headers
fragments as small as 4 bytes) with all offload features enabled."
The root cause is that ixgbe_xmit_pkts() in some cases violates the HW rule
that the distance between TDs with RS bit set should not exceed 40 TDs.
>From the latest 82599 spec update:
"When WTHRESH is set to zero, the software device driver should set the RS bit
in the Tx descriptors with the EOP bit set and at least once in the 40
descriptors."
The fix is to make sure that the distance between TDs with RS bit set
would never exceed HW limit.
As part of that fix, tx_rs_thresh for ixgbe PMD is not allowed to be greater
then to 32 to comply with HW restrictions.
With that fix slight slowdown for the full-featured ixgbe TX path
might be observed (from our testing - up to 4%).
ixgbe simple TX path is unaffected by that patch.

With fixed avail ring, we don't need to get desc idx from avail ring.

This patch uses vector instruction to accelerate processing desc ring.
Signed-off-by: Huawei Xie <huawei.xie@intel.com>

In DPDK based switching environment, mostly vhost runs on a dedicated core
while virtio processing in guest VMs runs on different cores.
Take RX for example, with generic implementation, for each guest buffer,
a) virtio driver allocates a descriptor from free descriptor list
b) modify the entry of avail ring to point to allocated descriptor
c) after packet is received, free the descriptor
When vhost fetches the avail ring, it need to fetch the modified L1 cache from
virtio core, which is a heavy cost in current CPU implementation.
This idea of this optimization is:
allocate the fixed descriptor for each entry of avail ring, so avail ring will
always be the same during the run.
This removes L1M cache transfer from virtio core to vhost core for avail ring.
(Note we couldn't avoid the cache transfer for descriptors).
Besides, descriptor allocation and free operation is eliminated.
This also makes vector procesing possible to further accelerate the processing.
This is the layout for the avail ring(take 256 ring entries for example), with
each entry pointing to the descriptor with the same index.
avail
idx

| 0 | 1 | 2 | | 254 | 255 | used ring

This is the ring layout for TX.
As we need one virtio header for each xmit packet, we have 128 slots available.

Bonding device implements independent management of RSS settings. It
stores its own copies of settings i.e. RETA, RSS hash function and RSS
key. It’s required to ensure consistency.
1) RSS hash function set for bonding device is maximal set of RSS hash
functions supported by all bonded devices. That mean, to have RSS support
for bonding, all slaves should be RSS-capable.
2) RSS key is propagated over the slaves "as is".
3) RETA for bonding is an internal table managed by bonding API, and is
used as a pattern to set up slaves. Its size is GCD of all RETA sizes, so
it can be easily used as a pattern providing expected behavior, even if
slaves RETA sizes are different.

Comparing with the older NICs, x550's RSS redirection table is enlarged to 512
entries. As the original code is for the NICs which have a 128 entries RSS table,
it means only part of the RSS table is set on x550. So, RSS cannot work as
expected on x550, it doesn't redirect the packets evenly.
This patch configs the entries beyond 128 on x550 to let RSS work well, and also

librte_pmd_mlx4.so needs to be linked with libibverbs otherwise, the PMD is
not able to open Mellanox devices and the following message is printed by
testpmd at startup
"librte_pmd_mlx4: cannot access device, is mlx4_ib loaded?".
Applications dependency on libibverbs are moved to be only valid in static
mode, in shared mode, applications do not depend on it anymore,
librte_pmd_mlx4.so keeps this dependency and thus is linked with libibverbs.
MLX4 cannot be supported in combined shared library because there is no clean
way of adding -libverbs to the combined library.

When a change makes really hard to keep ABI compatibility,
instead of waiting next release to break the ABI, it is smoother
to introduce the new code as a preview and disable it when packaging.
The flag RTE_NEXT_ABI must be used to "ifdef" the new code.
When the release is out, a dynamically linked application can use
the new shared libraries with the old ABI while developpers can prepare
their application for the next ABI by reading the deprecation notice
and easily testing the new code.
When starting the next release cycle, the "ifdefs" will be removed
and the ABI break will be marked by incrementing LIBABIVER. The map
files will also be updated.
The default value is enabled to be developer compliant.
The packagers must disable it as done in pkg/dpdk.spec.
When enabled, all shared library numbers are incremented by appending
a minor .1 to the old ABI number. In the next release, only impacted
libraries will have a major +1 increment.
The impacted libraries must provide an alternative map file to use
with this option.
The ABI policy is updated.

Jenkins hash function was developed originally in 1996,

The function has been improved in 2006,
achieving up to 35% better performance, compared to the original one.
This patch integrates that code into the rte_jhash library.
It also updates the precalculated hash values in the unit test,
as the code now returns different values (expected).

This change adds automatic figure references to the docs. The

Requires Sphinx >= 1.3.1.
The patch makes the following changes.
* Changes image:: tag to figure:: and moves image caption
to the figure.
* Adds captions to figures that didn't previously have any.
* Un-templates the |image-name| substitution definitions
into explicit figure:: tags. They weren't used more
than once anyway and Sphinx doesn't support them
for figure.
* Adds a target to each image that didn't previously
have one so that they can be cross-referenced.
* Renamed existing image target to match the image
name for consistency.
* Replaces the Figures lists with automatic :numref:
:ref: entries to generate automatic numbering
and captions.
* Replaces "Figure" references with automatic :numref:
references.
Signed-off-by: John McNamara <john.mcnamara@intel.com>
This change adds some simple handling for the :numref: directive
for Sphinx versions prior to 1.3.1. This allows the Guides
documentation to be built with older versions of Sphinx and still
produce reasonable results.
The patch replaces the :numref: reference with a link to the
target (for all Sphinx doc types). It doesn't try to label
figures/tables.
Full numref support with automatic figure/table numbering and
links can be obtained by upgrading to Sphinx 1.3.1 or later.
