With all vmxnet3 version 3 changes incorporated in the vmxnet3 driver,
the driver can configure emulation to run at vmxnet3 version 3, provided
the emulation advertises support for version 3.
This patch also updates release notes.

In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver
to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use
for rx/tx buffers. The driver can also indicate which rx/tx queue the
memory region is applicable for. If this information is communicated
to the emulation, the emulation will always keep these memory regions
mapped, thereby avoiding the mapping/unmapping overhead for every packet.

vmxnet3 driver preallocates buffers for receiving packets and posts the
buffers to the emulation. In order to deliver a received packet to the
guest, the emulation must map buffer(s) and copy the packet into it.
To avoid this memory mapping overhead, this patch introduces the receive
data ring - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by
the emulation. If a packet fits into the receive data ring buffer, the
emulation delivers the packet via the receive data ring (which must be
copied by the guest driver), or else the usual receive path is used.

vmxnet3 driver supports transmit data ring viz. a set of fixed size
buffers used by the driver to copy packet headers. Small packets that
fit these buffers are copied into these buffers entirely.
Currently this buffer size of fixed at 128 bytes. This patch extends
transmit data ring implementation to allow variable length transmit
data ring buffers. The length of the buffer is read from the emulation
during initialization.

Shared memory is used to exchange information between the vmxnet3 driver
and the emulation. In order to request emulation to perform a task, the
driver first populates specific fields in this shared memory and then
issues corresponding command by writing to the command register(CMD). The
layout of the shared memory was defined by vmxnet3 version 1 and cannot
be extended for every new command without breaking backward compatibility.
To address this problem, in vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation repurposed
a reserved field in the shared memory to represent command information
instead. For new commands, the driver first populates the command
information field in the shared memory and then issues the command. The
emulation interprets the data written to the command information
depending on the type of the command. This patch exposes this capability
to the driver.

Before this patch, the management of dependencies between directories
had several issues:
- the generation of .depdirs, done at configuration is slow: it can take
more than one minute on some slow targets (usually ~10s on a standard
PC without -j).
- for instance, it is possible to express a dependency like:
- app/foo depends on lib/librte_foo
- and lib/librte_foo depends on app/bar
But this won't work because the directories are traversed with a
depth-first algorithm, so we have to choose between doing 'app' before
or after 'lib'.
- the script depdirs-rule.sh is too complex.
- we cannot use "make -d" for debug, because the output of make is used for
the generation of .depdirs.
This patch moves the DEPDIRS-* variables in the upper Makefile, making
the dependencies much easier to calculate. A DEPDIRS variable is still
used to process library dependencies in LDLIBS.
After this commit, "make config" is almost immediate.

Our use case is that we have an app that needs to keep mbufs around
for a while. We've seen cases when calling vmxnet3_post_rx_bufs() from
vmxet3_recv_pkts(), it might not succeed to add any mbufs to any RX
descriptors (where it returns -err). Since there are no mbufs that the
virtual hardware can use, no packets will be received after this; the
driver won't refill the mbuf after this so it gets stuck in this
state. I call this a deadlock for lack of a better term - the virtual
HW waits for free mbufs, while the app waits for the hardware to
notify it for data (by flipping the generation bit on the used Rx
descriptors). Note that after this, the app can't recover.
This fix is a rework of this patch by Marco Lee:
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/6575/. I had to forward port
it, address review comments and also reverted the allocation
failure handling to the first version of the patch
(http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-July/022079.html), since
that's the only approach that seems to work, and seems to be what
other drivers are doing (I checked ixgbe and em). Reusing the mbuf
that's getting passed to the application doesn't seem to make
sense, and it was causing weird issues in our app. Also, reusing
rxm without checking if it's NULL could cause the code to crash.

free using rte_pktmbuf_free_seg() instead of rte_pktmbuf_free()
as the metadata of the mbuf might not be properly initialized
(initialization after mempool creation is done in the rx routine)
and the mbuf should always be a single-segment one when populated.
For tx, we can use the existing way as mbuf, if any, will be a
valid one stashed in the eop.

When adding a DPDK port to ovs-vswitchd with DPDK, the vmxnet3 device
fails to activate due to mismatched magic number. This failure causes
following operations to run: start the port, stop the port,
reconfigure and re-start the port.
During reconfigure, if there is an existing memzone, driver will reuse
it. But reconfigure may request different number of Tx/Rx queues.
This results in a memzone with wrong size and potential invalid memory
access.
To fix this, free the memzone if found and reserve a new one.

Modify the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro, adding a name argument to it. The
addition of a name argument creates a token that can be used for subsequent
macros in the creation of unique symbol names to export additional bits of
information for use by the pmdinfogen tool. For example:
PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER(ena_driver, ena);
registers the ena_driver struct as it always did, and creates a symbol
const char this_pmd_name0[] __attribute__((used)) = "ena";
which pmdinfogen can search for and extract. The subsequent macro
DRIVER_REGISTER_PCI_TABLE(ena, ena_pci_id_map);
creates a symbol const char ena_pci_tbl_export[] __attribute__((used)) =
"ena_pci_id_map";
Which allows pmdinfogen to find the pci table of this driver
Using this pattern, we can export arbitrary bits of information.
pmdinfo uses this information to extract hardware support from an object
file and create a json string to make hardware support info discoverable
later.

The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.
Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.
For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.
This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:
- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done (vector and normal), the old flag was set
when a vlan was recognized, even if vlan stripping was disabled.
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.
For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the behavior was
already correct, so we can reuse the same bit value for
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

The macro RTE_VERIFY always checks a condition.
It is optimized with "unlikely" hint.
While this macro is well suited for test applications, it is preferred

That's why the macro RTE_ASSERT is introduced to call RTE_VERIFY only
if built with debug logs enabled.
A lot of assert macros were duplicated and enabled with a specific flag.
Removing these #ifdef allows to test these code branches more easily
and avoid dead code pitfalls.
The ENA_ASSERT is kept (in debug mode only) because it has more
