rte_gso_segment decreased refcnt of pkt by one, but
it is wrong if pkt is external mbuf, pkt won't be
freed because of incorrect refcnt, the result is
application can't allocate mbuf from mempool because
mbufs in mempool are run out of.
One correct way is application should call
rte_pktmbuf_free after calling rte_gso_segment to free
pkt explicitly. rte_gso_segment must not handle it, this
should be responsibility of application.
This commit changed rte_gso_segment in functional behavior
and return value, so the application must take appropriate
actions according to return values, "ret < 0" means it
should free and drop 'pkt', "ret == 0" means 'pkt' isn't
GSOed but 'pkt' can be transmitted as a normal packet,
"ret > 0" means 'pkt' has been GSOed into two or multiple
segments, it should use "pkts_out" to transmit these
segments. The application must free 'pkt' after call
rte_gso_segment when return value isn't equal to 0.

As discussed on the dpdk-dev mailing list[1], we can make some easy
improvements in standardizing the naming of the various components in DPDK,
and their associated feature-enabled macros.
Following this patch, each library will have the name in format,
'librte_<name>.so', and the macro indicating that library is enabled in the
build will have the form 'RTE_LIB_<NAME>'.
Similarly, for libraries, the equivalent name formats and macros are:
'librte_<class>_<name>.so' and 'RTE_<CLASS>_<NAME>', where class is the
device type taken from the relevant driver subdirectory name, i.e. 'net',
'crypto' etc.
To avoid too many changes at once for end applications, the old macro names
will still be provided in the build in this release, but will be removed
subsequently.

mempool for session and session private data. So the
application need to create mempool for twice the number of
sessions needed and will also lead to wastage of memory as
session private data need more memory compared to session.
Hence the API is modified to take two mempool pointers
- one for session and one for private data.

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.

rte_flow API provides the building blocks for vendor-agnostic flow
classification offloads. The rte_flow "patterns" and "actions"
primitives are fine-grained, thus enabling DPDK applications the
flexibility to offload network stacks and complex pipelines.
Applications wishing to offload tunneled traffic are required to use
the rte_flow primitives, such as group, meta, mark, tag, and others to
model their high-level objects. The hardware model design for
high-level software objects is not trivial. Furthermore, an optimal
design is often vendor-specific.
When hardware offloads tunneled traffic in multi-group logic,
partially offloaded packets may arrive to the application after they
were modified in hardware. In this case, the application may need to
restore the original packet headers. Consider the following sequence:
The application decaps a packet in one group and jumps to a second
group where it tries to match on a 5-tuple, that will miss and send
the packet to the application. In this case, the application does not
receive the original packet but a modified one. Also, in this case,
the application cannot match on the outer header fields, such as VXLAN
vni and 5-tuple.
There are several possible ways to use rte_flow "patterns" and
"actions" to resolve the issues above. For example:
1 Mapping headers to a hardware registers using the
rte_flow_action_mark/rte_flow_action_tag/rte_flow_set_meta objects.
2 Apply the decap only at the last offload stage after all the
"patterns" were matched and the packet will be fully offloaded.
Every approach has its pros and cons and is highly dependent on the
hardware vendor. For example, some hardware may have a limited number
of registers while other hardware could not support inner actions and
must decap before accessing inner headers.
The tunnel offload model resolves these issues. The model goals are:
1 Provide a unified application API to offload tunneled traffic that
is capable to match on outer headers after decap.
2 Allow the application to restore the outer header of partially
offloaded packets.
The tunnel offload model does not introduce new elements to the
existing RTE flow model and is implemented as a set of helper
functions.
For the application to work with the tunnel offload API it
has to adjust flow rules in multi-table tunnel offload in the
following way:
1 Remove explicit call to decap action and replace it with PMD actions
obtained from rte_flow_tunnel_decap_and_set() helper.
2 Add PMD items obtained from rte_flow_tunnel_match() helper to all
other rules in the tunnel offload sequence.
VXLAN Code example:
Assume application needs to do inner NAT on the VXLAN packet.
The first rule in group 0:
flow create <port id> ingress group 0
pattern eth / ipv4 / udp dst is 4789 / vxlan / end
actions {pmd actions} / jump group 3 / end
The first VXLAN packet that arrives matches the rule in group 0 and
jumps to group 3. In group 3 the packet will miss since there is no
flow to match and will be sent to the application. Application will
call rte_flow_get_restore_info() to get the packet outer header.
Application will insert a new rule in group 3 to match outer and inner
headers:
flow create <port id> ingress group 3
pattern {pmd items} / eth / ipv4 dst is 172.10.10.1 /
udp dst 4789 / vxlan vni is 10 /
ipv4 dst is 184.1.2.3 / end
actions set_ipv4_dst 186.1.1.1 / queue index 3 / end
Resulting of the rules will be that VXLAN packet with vni=10, outer
IPv4 dst=172.10.10.1 and inner IPv4 dst=184.1.2.3 will be received
decapped on queue 3 with IPv4 dst=186.1.1.1
Note: The packet in group 3 is considered decapped. All actions in
that group will be done on the header that was inner before decap. The
application may specify an outer header to be matched on. It's PMD
responsibility to translate these items to outer metadata.

RTE flow items & actions use positive values in item & action type.
Negative values are reserved for PMD private types. PMD
items & actions usually are not exposed to application and are not
used to create RTE flows.
The patch allows applications with access to PMD flow
items & actions ability to integrate RTE and PMD items & actions
and use them to create flow rule.
RTE flow item or action conversion library accepts positive known
element types with predefined sizes only. Private PMD items and
actions do not fit into this scheme because PMD type values are
negative, each PMD has it's own types numeration and element types and
their sizes are not visible at RTE level. To resolve these
limitations the patch proposes this solution:
1. PMD can expose elements of pointer size only. RTE flow
conversion functions will use pointer size for each configuration
object in private PMD element it processes;
2. RTE flow verification will not reject elements with negative type.

A new parameter `hairpin-mode` is introduced to the testpmd command
line. Bitmask value is used to provide a more flexible configuration.
This parameter should be used when `hairpinq` is specified in the
command line.
Bit 0 in the LSB indicates the hairpin will use the loop mode. The
previous port Rx queue will be connected to the current port Tx
queue.
Bit 1 in the LSB indicates the hairpin will use pair port mode. The
even index port will be paired with the next odd index port. If the
total number of the probed ports is odd, then the last one will be
paired to itself.
If this byte is zero, then each port will be paired to itself.
Bit 0 takes a higher priority in the checking.
Bit 4 in the second bytes indicate if the hairpin will use explicit
Tx flow mode.
e.g. in the command line, "--hairpinq=2 --hairpin-mode=0x11"
If not set, default value zero will be used and the behavior will
try to get aligned with the previous single port mode. If the ports
belong to different vendors' NICs, it is suggested to use the `self`
hairpin mode only.
Since hairpin configures the hardware resources, the port mask of
packets forwarding engine will not be used here.

After hairpin queues are configured, in general, the application will
maintain the ports topology and even the queues configuration for
the hairpin. But sometimes it will not.
If there is no hot-plug, it is easy to bind and unbind hairpin among
all the ports. The application can just connect or disconnect the
hairpin egress ports to/from all the probed ingress ports. Then all
the connections could be handled properly.
But with hot-plug / hot-unplug, one port could be probed and removed
dynamically. With two ports hairpin, all the connections from and to
this port should be handled after start(bind) or before stop(unbind).
It is necessary to know the hairpin topology with this port.
This function will return the ports list with the actual peer ports
number after configuration. Either peer Rx or Tx ports will be
gotten with this function call.

To support two ports hairpin mode and keep the backward compatibility
for the application, two new attribute members of the hairpin queue
configuration structure will be added.
`tx_explicit` means if the application itself will insert the Tx part
flow rules. If not set, PMD will insert the rules implicitly.
`manual_bind` means if the hairpin Tx queue and peer Rx queue will be
bound automatically during the device start stage.
Different Tx and Rx queue pairs could have different values, but it
is highly recommended that all paired queues between one egress and
its peer ingress ports have the same values, in order not to bring
any chaos to the system. The actual support of these attribute
parameters will be checked and decided by the PMD drivers.
In the single port hairpin, if both are zero without any setting, the
behavior will remain the same as before. It means that no bind API
needs to be called and no Tx flow rules need to be inserted manually
by the application.

In single port hairpin mode, all the hairpin Tx and Rx queues belong
to the same device. After the queues are set up properly, there is
no other dependency between the Tx queue and its Rx peer queue. The
binding process that connected the Tx and Rx queues together from
hardware level will be done automatically during the device start
procedure. Everything required is configured and initialized already
for the binding process.
But in two ports hairpin mode, there will be some cross-dependences
between two different ports. Usually, the ports will be initialized
serially by the main thread but not in parallel. The earlier port
will not be able to enable the bind if the following peer port is
not yet configured with HW resources. What's more, if one port is
detached / attached dynamically, it would introduce more trouble
for the hairpin binding.
To overcome these, new APIs for binding and unbinding are added.
During startup, only the hairpin Tx and Rx peer queues will be set
up. Nothing will be done when starting the device if the queues are
without auto-bind attribute. Only after the required ports pair
started, the `rte_eth_hairpin_bind()` API can be called to bind the
all Tx queues of the egress port to the Rx queues of the peer port.
Then the connection between the egress and ingress ports pair will
be established.
The `rte_eth_hairpin_unbind()` API could be used to disconnect the
egress and the peer ingress ports. This should only be called before
the device is closed if needed. When doing the clean up, all the
egress and ingress pairs related to a single port should be taken
into consideration, especially in the hot unplug case.

Applications handling fragmented IPv6 packets need to match on IPv6

This patch introduces the IPv6 fragment extension header item,
proposed in [1].
Relevant definitions are moved from lib/librte_ip_frag/rte_ip_frag.h
to lib/librte_net/rte_ip.h, as they are needed for IPv6 header handling.
struct ipv6_extension_fragment renamed to rte_ipv6_fragment_ext to
adapt it to the common naming convention.
Default mask is not defined, since all fields are optional.

Using the current implementation of DPDK, an application cannot match on
IPv6 packets, based on the existing extension headers, in a simple way.
Field 'Next Header' in IPv6 header indicates type of the first extension
header only. Following extension headers can't be identified by
inspecting the IPv6 header.
As a result, the existence or absence of specific extension headers
can't be used for packet matching.
For example, fragmented IPv6 packets contain a dedicated extension header
(which is implemented in a later patch of this series).
Non-fragmented packets don't contain the fragment extension header.
For an application to match on non-fragmented IPv6 packets, the current
implementation doesn't provide a suitable solution.
Matching on the Next Header field is not sufficient, since additional
extension headers might be present in the same packet.
To match on fragmented IPv6 packets, the same difficulty exists.
This patch implements the update as detailed in RFC [1].
A set of additional values will be added to IPv6 header struct.
These values will indicate the existence of every defined extension
header type, providing simple means for identification of existing
extensions in the packet header.
Continuing the above example, fragmented packets can be identified using
the specific value indicating existence of fragment extension header.
To match on non-fragmented IPv6 packets, need to use has_frag_ext 0.
To match on fragmented IPv6 packets, need to use has_frag_ext 1.
To match on any IPv6 packets, the has_frag_ext field should
not be specified for match.

This patch adds shared action support to testpmd CLI.
All shared actions created via testpmd CLI assigned ID for further
reference in other CLI commands. Shared action ID supplied as CLI
argument or assigned by testpmd is similar to flow ID & limited to
scope of testpdm CLI.
Create shared action syntax:
flow shared_action {port_id} create [action_id {shared_action_id}]
[ingress] [egress] action {action} / end
Create shared action examples:
flow shared_action 0 create action_id 100 \
ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
This creates shared rss action with id 100 on port 0.
flow shared_action 0 create action_id \
ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
This creates shared rss action with id assigned by testpmd
on port 0.
Update shared action syntax:
flow shared_action {port_id} update {shared_action_id}
action {action} / end
Update shared action example:
flow shared_action 0 update 100 \
action rss queues 0 3 end / end
This updates shared rss action having id 100 on port 0
with rss to queues 0 3 (in create example rss queues were
1 & 2).
Destroy shared action syntax:
flow shared_action {port_id} destroy action_id {shared_action_id} [...]
Destroy shared action example:
flow shared_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101
This destroys shared actions having id 100 & 101
Query shared action syntax:
flow shared_action {port} query {shared_action_id}
Query shared action example:
flow shared_action 0 query 100
This queries shared actions having id 100
Use shared action as flow action syntax:
flow create {port_id} ... / end actions [action / [...]]
shared {action_id} / [action / [...]] end
Use shared action as flow action example:
flow create 0 ingress pattern ... / end \
actions shared 100 / end
This creates flow rule where rss action is shared rss action
having id 100.
All shared action CLIs report status of the command.
Shared action query CLI output depends on action type.

Introduce extension of flow action API enabling sharing of single
rte_flow_action in multiple flows. The API intended for PMDs, where
multiple HW offloaded flows can reuse the same HW essence/object
representing flow action and modification of such an essence/object
affects all the rules using it.
Motivation and example
===
Adding or removing one or more queues to RSS used by multiple flow rules
imposes per rule toll for current DPDK flow API; the scenario requires
for each flow sharing cloned RSS action:
- call `rte_flow_destroy()`
- call `rte_flow_create()` with modified RSS action
API for sharing action and its in-place update benefits:
- reduce the overhead of multiple RSS flow rules reconfiguration
- optimize resource utilization by sharing action across multiple
flows
Change description
===
Shared action
===
In order to represent flow action shared by multiple flows new action
type RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SHARED is introduced (see `enum
rte_flow_action_type`).
Actually the introduced API decouples action from any specific flow and
enables sharing of single action by its handle across multiple flows.
Shared action create/use/destroy
===
Shared action may be reused by some or none flow rules at any given
moment, i.e. shared action resides outside of the context of any flow.
Shared action represent HW resources/objects used for action offloading
implementation.
API for shared action create (see `rte_flow_shared_action_create()`):
- should allocate HW resources and make related initializations required
for shared action implementation.
- make necessary preparations to maintain shared access to
the action resources, configuration and state.
API for shared action destroy (see `rte_flow_shared_action_destroy()`)
should release HW resources and make related cleanups required for shared
action implementation.
In order to share some flow action reuse the handle of type
`struct rte_flow_shared_action` returned by
rte_flow_shared_action_create() as a `conf` field of
`struct rte_flow_action` (see "example" section).
If some shared action not used by any flow rule all resources allocated
by the shared action can be released by rte_flow_shared_action_destroy()
(see "example" section). The shared action handle passed as argument to
destroy API should not be used any further i.e. result of the usage is
undefined.
Shared action re-configuration
===
Shared action behavior defined by its configuration can be updated via
rte_flow_shared_action_update() (see "example" section). The shared
action update operation modifies HW related resources/objects allocated
on the action creation. The number of operations performed by the update
operation should not depend on the number of flows sharing the related
action. On return of shared action update API action behavior should be
according to updated configuration for all flows sharing the action.
Shared action query
===
Provide separate API to query shared action state (see
rte_flow_shared_action_update()). Taking a counter as an example: query
returns value aggregating all counter increments across all flow rules
sharing the counter. This API doesn't query shared action configuration
since it is controlled by rte_flow_shared_action_create() and
rte_flow_shared_action_update() APIs and no supposed to change by other
means.
example
===
struct rte_flow_action actions[2];
struct rte_flow_shared_action_conf conf;
struct rte_flow_action action;
/* skipped: initialize conf and action */
struct rte_flow_shared_action *handle =
rte_flow_shared_action_create(port_id, &conf, &action, &error);
actions[0].type = RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SHARED;
actions[0].conf = handle;
actions[1].type = RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_END;
/* skipped: init attr0 & pattern0 args */
struct rte_flow *flow0 = rte_flow_create(port_id, &attr0, pattern0,
actions, error);
/* create more rules reusing shared action */
struct rte_flow *flow1 = rte_flow_create(port_id, &attr1, pattern1,
actions, error);
/* skipped: for flows 2 till N */
struct rte_flow *flowN = rte_flow_create(port_id, &attrN, patternN,
actions, error);
/* update shared action */
struct rte_flow_action updated_action;
/*
* skipped: initialize updated_action according to desired action
* configuration change
*/
rte_flow_shared_action_update(port_id, handle, &updated_action, error);
/*
* from now on all flows 1 till N will act according to configuration of
* updated_action
*/
/* skipped: destroy all flows 1 till N */
