4fa1452bca net/mlx5: fix counter in non-termination meter
In rte_flow, if a counter action is before a meter which has
non-termination policy, the counter value only includes packets not
being dropped.

This patch fixes this issue by differentiating the order of counter and
non-termination meter:
1. counter + meter, counts all packets hitting this flow.
2. meter + counter, only counts packets not being dropped.

f956d3d4c3 net/mlx5: fix probing with secondary bonding member
Users can probe primary or secondary PCIe id when bonding is
configured.
1. -a 0a:00.0,representor=pf[0-1]vf[0-1], PMD probes 5 ports
totally: bonding device plus 4 representor ports.
2. -a 0a:00.1,representor=pf[0-1]vf[0-1], PMD only probes 2
representor ports.

Under the 2nd condition, bonding IB device doesn't have the same
PCIe id and PMD needs to check bonding relationship otherwise
probe failure.

e2259f93ef net/mlx5: fix Tx when inlining is impossible
When txq_inline_max is too large and an mbuf is multi-segment
it may be impossible to inline data and build a valid WQE,
because WQE length would be larger then HW can represent.
It is impossible to detect misconfiguration at startup,
because the condition depends on the mbuf composition.
The check on the data path to prevent the error
treated the length limit as expressed in 64B units,
while the calculated length and limit are in 16B units.
Fix the condition to avoid subsequent TxQ failure and recovery.

3a29cb3a73 net/mlx5: handle MPRQ incompatibility with external buffers
Multi-Packet Rx queue uses PMD-managed buffers to store packets.
These buffers are externally attached to user mbufs.
This conflicts with the feature that allows using user-managed

Fall back to SPRQ in case external buffers mempool is configured.

bfb15b0427 net/iavf: remove extra copy step in Rx bulk path
In the Rx bulk path, packets which are taken from the HW ring, are first
copied to the stage data structure and then later copied from the stage
to the rx_pkts array. For the number of packets requested immediately
by the receiving function, this two-step process adds extra overhead
that is not necessary.

Instead, put requested number of packets directly into the rx_pkts array
and only stage excess packets. On N1SDP with 1 core/port, l3fwd saw up
to 4% performance improvement. On x86, no difference in performance was
observed.

5543827fc6 net/ice: improve performance of Rx timestamp offload
Previously, each time a burst of packets is received, SW reads HW
register and assembles it and the timestamp from descriptor together to
get the complete 64 bits timestamp.

This patch optimizes the algorithm. The SW only needs to check the
monotonicity of the low 32bits timestamp to avoid crossing borders.
Each time before SW receives a burst of packets, it should check the
time difference between current time and last update time to avoid
the low 32 bits timestamp cycling twice.

The patch proved a 50% ~ 70% single core performance improvement on a
main stream Xeon server, this fix the performance gap for some use cases.

774263bb4e net/ixgbe: retry misbehaving SFP read
Some XGS-PON SFPs have been observed ACKing I2C reads and returning
uninitialized garbage while their uC boots.  This can lead to the SFP ID
code marking an otherwise working SFP module as unsupported if a bogus
ID value is read while its internal PHY/microcontroller is still
booting.

Retry the ID read several times looking not just for NAK, but also for a
valid ID field.

Since the device isn't NAKing the transaction, the existing longer retry
code in ixgbe_read_i2c_byte_generic_int() doesn't apply here.

and assumes the DPDK_TEST environment variable hasn't been defined
resulting in test-dpdk dropping to interactive mode and subsequently
waiting for the remainder of the UT fast-test timeout period before
reporting the test as having timed out.

a95d70547c eal: factorize lcore main loop
All OS implementations provide the same main loop.
Introduce helpers (shared for Linux and FreeBSD) to handle synchronisation
between main and threads and factorize the rest as common code.
Thread id are now logged as string in a common format across OS.

Note:
- this change also fixes Windows EAL: worker threads cpu affinity was
  incorrectly reported in log.

- libabigail flags this change as breaking ABI in clang builds:
  1 function with some indirect sub-type change:

  [C] 'function int rte_eal_remote_launch(int (void*)*, void*, unsigned
      int)' at eal_common_launch.c:35:1 has some indirect sub-type
      changes:
    parameter 1 of type 'int (void*)*' changed:
      in pointed to type 'function type int (void*)' at rte_launch.h:31:1:
        entity changed from 'function type int (void*)' to 'typedef
          lcore_function_t' at rte_launch.h:31:1
        type size hasn't changed

449e7dbc7b eal: cleanup lcore ID hand-over
So far, a worker thread has been using its thread_id to discover which
lcore has been assigned to it.

On the other hand, as noted by Tyler, the pthread API does not strictly
guarantee that a new thread won't start running eal_thread_loop before
pthread_create writes to &lcore_config[xx].thread_id.

Though all OS implementations supported in DPDK (recently) ensure this
property, it is more robust to have the main thread directly pass
the worker thread lcore.

Nevertheless, let's try to be good citizens and cache (once a day) a

This preparation is done in a first prepare-container-images job.
The rpm-container-builds job then depends on it with a 'needs:' tag.

Differences with builds in Ubuntu GHA vm images:
- tasks are run as root in containers, no need for sudo,
- compiler must be explicitly installed,
- GHA artifacts can't contain a ':' in their name, and must be filtered,
- environment variables are not inherited and must be passed explicitly,

959c84ed05 doc: simplify Linux paramter rcu_nocbs in PVP benchmark
From Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt, specifically the
last sentence:

 nohz_full=      [KNL,BOOT,SMP,ISOL]
        The argument is a cpu list, as described above.
        In kernels built with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y, set
        the specified list of CPUs whose tick will be stopped
        whenever possible. The boot CPU will be forced outside
        the range to maintain the timekeeping.  Any CPUs
        in this list will have their RCU callbacks offloaded,
        just as if they had also been called out in the
        rcu_nocbs= boot parameter.

The kernel or-s the nohz_full cpumask into the rcu_nocbs cpumask at
startup, and uses that.
