Add RTE_EVENT_TYPE_ETH_RX_ADAPTER event type. Certain platforms (e.g.,
octeontx), in the event dequeue function, need to identify events
injected from ethernet hardware into eventdev so that DPDK mbuf can be
populated from the HW descriptor.
Events injected from ethernet hardware would use an event type of
RTE_EVENT_TYPE_ETHDEV and events injected from the rx adapter service
function would use an event type of RTE_EVENT_TYPE_ETH_RX_ADAPTER to
help the event dequeue function differentiate between these two event
sources.

The caps API allows application to retrieve capability information
needed to configure the ethernet Rx adapter for the eventdev and
ethdev pair.
For e.g., the ethdev, eventdev pairing maybe such that all of the
ethdev Rx queues can only be connected to a single event queue, in
this case the application is required to pass in -1 as the queue id
when adding a receive queue to the adapter.

Introducing the burst mode capability flag to express the event device
is capable of operating in burst mode for enqueue(forward, release) and
dequeue operation. If the device is not capable, then the application
still uses the rte_event_dequeue_burst() and rte_event_enqueue_burst()
but PMD accepts only one event at a time which is any way transparent
with the current rte_event_*_burst API semantics.
It solves two purposes:
1) Fix performance regression on the PMD which supports only nonburst
mode, and this issue is two-fold.
Typically the burst_worker main loop consists of following pseudo code:
while(1)
{
uint16_t nb_rx = rte_event_dequeue_burst(ev,..);
for (i=0; i < nb_rx; i++) {
process(ev[i]);
if (is_release_required(ev[i]))
release_the_event(ev);
}
uint16_t nb_tx = rte_event_enqueue_burst(dev_id, port_id,
events, nb_rx);
while (nb_tx < nb_rx)
nb_tx += rte_event_enqueue_burst(dev_id, port_id,
events + nb_tx, nb_rx - nb_tx);
}
Typically the non_burst_worker main loop consists of following pseudo code:
while(1)
{
uint16_t nb_rx = rte_event_dequeue_burst(&ev, , 1);
if (!nb_rx)
continue;
process(ev);
while (rte_event_enqueue_burst(dev, port, &ev, 1) != 1);
}
Following overhead has been seen on nonburst mode capable PMDs with
burst mode version
- Extra explicit release(PMD does release on implicitly on next
dequeue) and thus avoids the cost additional driver function overhead.
- Extra "for" loop for event processing which compiler cannot detect at
runtime
2) Simplify the application configuration by avoiding the application to
find the correct enqueue and dequeue depth across different PMD.
If burst mode is not supported then, PMD can ignore depth field.
This will enable to write portable applications and makes
RFC eventdev_pipeline application works on OCTEONTX PMD
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/23799/
If an application wishes to get the maximum performance on nonburst
capable PMD then the application can write the code in a way that by
keeping packet processing function as inline functions and launch the
workers based on the capability.
The generic burst based worker still work on those PMDs without
any code change but this scheme needed only when the application wants
to gets the maximum performance out of nonburst capable PMDs.
This patch is based the on the real world test cases
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/24832/, Where without this scheme
20.9% performance drop observed per core.
See worker_wrapper(), perf_queue_worker(), perf_queue_worker_burst()
functions to use this scheme in a portable way without losing performance
on both sets of PMDs and achieving the portability.

PMDs that only do a specific type of scheduling cannot provide
CFG_ALL_TYPES, so the Eventdev infrastructure should not demand
that every PMD supports CFG_ALL_TYPES.
By not overriding the default configuration of the queue as
suggested by the PMD, the eventdev_common unit tests can pass
on all PMDs, regardless of their capabilities.
RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_DEFAULT is no longer used by the eventdev layer
it can be removed now. Applications should use CFG_ALL_TYPES
if they require enqueue of all types a queue, or specify which
type of queue they require.
The CFG_DEFAULT value is changed to CFG_ALL_TYPES in event/skeleton,
to not break the compile.
A capability flag is added that indicates if the underlying PMD
supports creating queues of ALL_TYPES.

Since eventdev uses event structures rather than working directly on
mbufs, there is no actual dependencies on the mbuf library. The
inclusion of an mbuf pointer element inside the event itself does not
require the inclusion of the mbuf header file. Similarly the pci
header is not needed, but following their removal, rte_memory.h is
needed for the definition of the __rte_cache_aligned macro.

In a polling model, lcores poll ethdev ports and associated
rx queues directly to look for packet. In an event driven model,
by contrast, lcores call the scheduler that selects packets for
them based on programmer-specified criteria. Eventdev library
adds support for event driven programming model, which offer
applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing,
pipelining, packet ingress order maintenance and
synchronization services to simplify application packet processing.
By introducing event driven programming model, DPDK can support
both polling and event driven programming models for packet processing,
and applications are free to choose whatever model
(or combination of the two) that best suits their needs.
This patch adds the eventdev specification header file.
