IP Reassembly is a costly operation if it is done in software.
The operation becomes even more costlier if IP fragments are encrypted.
However, if it is offloaded to HW, it can considerably save application
cycles.
Hence, a new offload feature is exposed in eth_dev ops for devices which
can attempt IP reassembly of packets in hardware.
- rte_eth_ip_reassembly_capability_get() - to get the maximum values
of reassembly configuration which can be set.
- rte_eth_ip_reassembly_conf_set() - to set IP reassembly configuration
and to enable the feature in the PMD (to be called before
rte_eth_dev_start()).
- rte_eth_ip_reassembly_conf_get() - to get the current configuration
set in PMD.
Now when the offload is enabled using rte_eth_ip_reassembly_conf_set(),
the resulting reassembled IP packet would be a typical segmented mbuf in
case of success.
And if reassembly of IP fragments is failed or is incomplete (if
fragments do not come before the reass_timeout, overlap, etc), the mbuf
dynamic flags can be updated by the PMD. This is updated in a subsequent
patch.

Based on device support and use-case need, there are two different ways
to enable PFC. The first case is the port level PFC configuration, in
this case, rte_eth_dev_priority_flow_ctrl_set() API shall be used to
configure the PFC, and PFC frames will be generated using based on VLAN
TC value.
The second case is the queue level PFC configuration, in this
case, Any packet field content can be used to steer the packet to the
specific queue using rte_flow or RSS and then use
rte_eth_dev_priority_flow_ctrl_queue_configure() to configure the
TC mapping on each queue.
Based on congestion selected on the specific queue, configured TC
shall be used to generate PFC frames.

In current DPDK framework, each Rx queue is pre-loaded with mbufs to
save incoming packets. For some PMDs, when number of representors scale
out in a switch domain, the memory consumption became significant.
Polling all ports also leads to high cache miss, high latency and low
throughput.
This patch introduces shared Rx queue. Ports in same Rx domain and
switch domain could share Rx queue set by specifying non-zero sharing
group in Rx queue configuration.
Shared Rx queue is identified by share_rxq field of Rx queue
configuration. Port A RxQ X can share RxQ with Port B RxQ Y by using
same shared Rx queue ID.
No special API is defined to receive packets from shared Rx queue.
Polling any member port of a shared Rx queue receives packets of that
queue for all member ports, port_id is identified by mbuf->port. PMD is
responsible to resolve shared Rx queue from device and queue data.
Shared Rx queue must be polled in same thread or core, polling a queue
ID of any member port is essentially same.
Multiple share groups are supported. PMD should support mixed
configuration by allowing multiple share groups and non-shared Rx queue
on one port.
Example grouping and polling model to reflect service priority:
Group1, 2 shared Rx queues per port: PF, rep0, rep1
Group2, 1 shared Rx queue per port: rep2, rep3, ... rep127
Core0: poll PF queue0
Core1: poll PF queue1
Core2: poll rep2 queue0
PMD advertise shared Rx queue capability via RTE_ETH_DEV_CAPA_RXQ_SHARE.
PMD is responsible for shared Rx queue consistency checks to avoid
member port's configuration contradict each other.

There is a confusion on setting max Rx packet length, this patch aims to
clarify it.
'rte_eth_dev_configure()' API accepts max Rx packet size via
'uint32_t max_rx_pkt_len' field of the config struct 'struct
rte_eth_conf'.
Also 'rte_eth_dev_set_mtu()' API can be used to set the MTU, and result
stored into '(struct rte_eth_dev)->data->mtu'.
These two APIs are related but they work in a disconnected way, they
store the set values in different variables which makes hard to figure
out which one to use, also having two different method for a related
functionality is confusing for the users.
Other issues causing confusion is:
* maximum transmission unit (MTU) is payload of the Ethernet frame. And
'max_rx_pkt_len' is the size of the Ethernet frame. Difference is
Ethernet frame overhead, and this overhead may be different from
device to device based on what device supports, like VLAN and QinQ.
* 'max_rx_pkt_len' is only valid when application requested jumbo frame,
which adds additional confusion and some APIs and PMDs already
discards this documented behavior.
* For the jumbo frame enabled case, 'max_rx_pkt_len' is an mandatory
field, this adds configuration complexity for application.
As solution, both APIs gets MTU as parameter, and both saves the result
in same variable '(struct rte_eth_dev)->data->mtu'. For this
'max_rx_pkt_len' updated as 'mtu', and it is always valid independent
from jumbo frame.
For 'rte_eth_dev_configure()', 'dev->data->dev_conf.rxmode.mtu' is user
request and it should be used only within configure function and result
should be stored to '(struct rte_eth_dev)->data->mtu'. After that point
both application and PMD uses MTU from this variable.
When application doesn't provide an MTU during 'rte_eth_dev_configure()'
default 'RTE_ETHER_MTU' value is used.
Additional clarification done on scattered Rx configuration, in
relation to MTU and Rx buffer size.
MTU is used to configure the device for physical Rx/Tx size limitation,
Rx buffer is where to store Rx packets, many PMDs use mbuf data buffer
size as Rx buffer size.
PMDs compare MTU against Rx buffer size to decide enabling scattered Rx
or not. If scattered Rx is not supported by device, MTU bigger than Rx
buffer size should fail.

where mbuf.l2_len, mbuf.l3_len etc, needs to be set for HW to be
able to generate checksum. Since Inline IPsec is also such a Tx
offload, some PMD's at least need mbuf.l2_len to be valid to

The DPDK datapath in the transmit direction is very flexible.
An application can build the multi-segment packet and manages
almost all data aspects - the memory pools where segments
are allocated from, the segment lengths, the memory attributes
like external buffers, registered for DMA, etc.
In the receiving direction, the datapath is much less flexible,
an application can only specify the memory pool to configure the
receiving queue and nothing more. In order to extend receiving
datapath capabilities it is proposed to add the way to provide
extended information how to split the packets being received.
The new offload flag RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT in device
capabilities is introduced to present the way for PMD to report to
application about supporting Rx packet split to configurable
segments. Prior invoking the rte_eth_rx_queue_setup() routine
application should check RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT flag.
The following structure is introduced to specify the Rx packet
segment for RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT offload:
struct rte_eth_rxseg_split {
struct rte_mempool *mp; /* memory pools to allocate segment from */
uint16_t length; /* segment maximal data length,
configures "split point" */
uint16_t offset; /* data offset from beginning
of mbuf data buffer */
uint32_t reserved; /* reserved field */
};
The segment descriptions are added to the rte_eth_rxconf structure:
rx_seg - pointer the array of segment descriptions, each element
describes the memory pool, maximal data length, initial
data offset from the beginning of data buffer in mbuf.
This array allows to specify the different settings for
each segment in individual fashion.
rx_nseg - number of elements in the array
If the extended segment descriptions is provided with these new
fields the mp parameter of the rte_eth_rx_queue_setup must be
specified as NULL to avoid ambiguity.
There are two options to specify Rx buffer configuration:
- mp is not NULL, rrx_conf.rx_nseg is zero, it is compatible
configuration, follows existing implementation, provides
the single pool and no description for segment sizes
and offsets.
- mp is NULL, rx_conf.rx_seg is not NULL, rx_conf.rx_nseg is not
zero, it provides the extended configuration, individually for
each segment.
f the Rx queue is configured with new settings the packets being
received will be split into multiple segments pushed to the mbufs
with specified attributes. The PMD will split the received packets
into multiple segments according to the specification in the
description array.
For example, let's suppose we configured the Rx queue with the
following segments:
seg0 - pool0, len0=14B, off0=2
seg1 - pool1, len1=20B, off1=128B
seg2 - pool2, len2=20B, off2=0B
seg3 - pool3, len3=512B, off3=0B
The packet 46 bytes long will look like the following:
seg0 - 14B long @ RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM + 2 in mbuf from pool0
seg1 - 20B long @ 128 in mbuf from pool1
seg2 - 12B long @ 0 in mbuf from pool2
The packet 1500 bytes long will look like the following:
seg0 - 14B @ RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM + 2 in mbuf from pool0
seg1 - 20B @ 128 in mbuf from pool1
seg2 - 20B @ 0 in mbuf from pool2
seg3 - 512B @ 0 in mbuf from pool3
seg4 - 512B @ 0 in mbuf from pool3
seg5 - 422B @ 0 in mbuf from pool3
The offload RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_SCATTER must be present and
configured to support new buffer split feature (if rx_nseg
is greater than one).
The split limitations imposed by underlying PMD is reported
in the new introduced rte_eth_dev_info->rx_seg_capa field.
The new approach would allow splitting the ingress packets into
multiple parts pushed to the memory with different attributes.
For example, the packet headers can be pushed to the embedded
data buffers within mbufs and the application data into
the external buffers attached to mbufs allocated from the
different memory pools. The memory attributes for the split
parts may differ either - for example the application data
may be pushed into the external memory located on the dedicated
physical device, say GPU or NVMe. This would improve the DPDK
receiving datapath flexibility with preserving compatibility
with existing API.

Based on PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM definition the user needs
to fill l2_len and l3_len mbuf fields before issuing
HW Tx checksum request.

Update implementation that when PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED mbuf ol_flags
set by PMD, PKT_RX_QINQ, PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED & PKT_RX_VLAN
should be also set.
Clarify mbuf documentations that when PKT_RX_QINQ set PKT_RX_VLAN also
should be set.
So that appllication can rely on PKT_RX_QINQ flag to access both
mbuf.vlan_tci & mbuf.vlan_tci_outer

Removed DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP offload flag.
Without any specific Rx offload flag, default behavior by PMDs is to
strip CRC.
PMDs that support keeping CRC should advertise DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC
Rx offload capability.
Applications that require keeping CRC should check PMD capability first
and if it is supported can enable this feature by setting
DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC in Rx offload flag in rte_eth_dev_configure()

In DPDK 17.11, the ethdev offloads API has changed:
commit cba7f53b717d ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API")
commit ce17eddefc20 ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
The new API is documented in the programmer's guide:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/poll_mode_drv.html#hardware-offload
For reminder, the main concepts in the new API were:
- All offloads are disabled by default
- Distinction between per port and per queue offloads.
The transition bits are now removed:
- Translation of the old API in ethdev
- rte_eth_conf.rxmode.ignore_offload_bitfield
- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE
The old API bits are now removed:
- Rx per-port rte_eth_conf.rxmode.[bit-fields]
- Tx per-queue rte_eth_txconf.txq_flags
- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_NO*

It's not possible to setup a queue when the port is started
because of a check in ethdev layer. New capability flags are
added in order to relax this check for devices which support
queue setup in runtime. The functions rte_eth_[rx|tx]_queue_setup
will raise an error only if the port is started and runtime setup
of queue is not supported.
