RSS hash types (ETH_RSS_* macros defined in rte_ethdev.h) describe the
protocol header fields of a packet that must be taken into account while
computing RSS.
When facing encapsulated (e.g. tunneled) packets, there is an ambiguity as
to whether these should apply to inner or outer packets. Applications need
the ability to tell exactly "where" RSS must be performed.
This is addressed by adding encapsulation level information to the RSS flow
action. Its default value is 0 and stands for the usual unspecified
behavior. Other values provide a specific encapsulation level.
Contrary to the change announced by commit 676b605182a5 ("doc: announce
ethdev API change for RSS configuration"), this patch does not affect
struct rte_eth_rss_conf but struct rte_flow_action_rss as the former is not
used anymore by the RSS flow action. ABI impact is therefore limited to
rte_flow.

Since its inception, the rte_flow RSS action has been relying in part on
external struct rte_eth_rss_conf for compatibility with the legacy RSS API.
This structure lacks parameters such as the hash algorithm to use, and more
recently, a method to tell which layer RSS should be performed on [1].
Given struct rte_eth_rss_conf will never be flexible enough to represent a
complete RSS configuration (e.g. RETA table), this patch supersedes it by
extending the rte_flow RSS action directly.
A subsequent patch will add a field to use a non-default RSS hash
algorithm. To that end, a field named "types" replaces the field formerly
known as "rss_hf" and standing for "RSS hash functions" as it was
confusing. Actual RSS hash function types are defined by enum
rte_eth_hash_function.
This patch updates all PMDs and example applications accordingly.

This patch makes the following changes to flow rule actions:
- List order now matters, they are redefined as performed first to last
instead of "all simultaneously".
- Repeated actions are now supported (e.g. specifying QUEUE multiple times
now duplicates traffic among them). Previously only the last action of
any given kind was taken into account.
- No more distinction between terminating/non-terminating/meta actions.
Flow rules themselves are now defined as always terminating unless a
PASSTHRU action is specified.
These changes alter the behavior of flow rules in corner cases in order to
prepare the flow API for actions that modify traffic contents or properties
(e.g. encapsulation, compression) and for which order matter when combined.
Previously one would have to do so through multiple flow rules by combining
PASSTRHU with priority levels, however this proved overly complex to
implement at the PMD level, hence this simpler approach.
This breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_validate()
PMDs with rte_flow support are modified accordingly:
- bnxt: no change, implementation already forbids multiple actions and does
not support PASSTHRU.

When not in isolated mode, internal flow rules are automatically
maintained by the PMD to receive traffic according to global device
settings (MAC, VLAN, promiscuous mode and so on).
Since RSS support was added to the mix, it must also check whether Rx
queue configuration has changed when refreshing flow rules to prevent
the following from happening:
- With a smaller number of Rx queues, traffic is implicitly dropped
since the existing RSS context cannot be re-applied.
- With a larger number of Rx queues, traffic remains balanced within the
original (smaller) set of queues.
One workaround before this commit was to temporarily enter/leave

This patch dissociates single-queue indirection tables and hash QP objects
from Rx queue structures to relinquish their control to users through the
RSS flow rule action, while simultaneously allowing multiple queues to be
associated with RSS contexts.
Flow rules share identical RSS contexts (hashed fields, hash key, target
queues) to save on memory and other resources. The trade-off is some added
complexity due to reference counters management on RSS contexts.
The QUEUE action is re-implemented on top of an automatically-generated
single-queue RSS context.
The following hardware limitations apply to RSS contexts:
- The number of queues in a group must be a power of two.
- Queue indices must be consecutive, for instance the [0 1 2 3] set is
allowed, however [3 2 1 0], [0 2 1 3] and [0 0 1 1 2 3 3 3] are not.
- The first queue of a group must be aligned to a multiple of the context
size, e.g. if queues [0 1 2 3 4] are defined globally, allowed group
combinations are [0 1] and [2 3]; groups [1 2] and [3 4] are not
supported.
- RSS hash key, while configurable per context, must be exactly 40 bytes
long.
- The only supported hash algorithm is Toeplitz.

Since flow rule validation and creation have been refactored into a common
two-pass function, having separate callback functions to validate and
convert individual items seems redundant.
The purpose of these item validation functions is to reject partial masks
as those are not supported by hardware, before handing over the item to a
separate function that performs basic sanity checks.
The current approach and related code have the following issues:
- Lack of flow handle context in validation code requires kludges such as
the special treatment reserved to spec-less Ethernet pattern items.
- Lack of useful error reporting; users need as much help as possible to
understand what they did wrong, particularly when they hit hardware
limitations that aren't mentioned by the flow API. Preventing them from
going berserk after getting a generic "item not supported" message for no
apparent reason is mandatory.
- Generic checks should be performed by the caller, not by item-specific
validation functions.
- Mask checks either missing or too lax in some cases (Ethernet, VLAN).
This commit addresses all the above by combining validation and conversion
callbacks as "merge" callbacks that take an additional error context
parameter. Also:
- Support for source MAC address matching is removed as it has no effect.
- Providing an empty mask no longer bypasses the Ethernet specification
check that causes a rule to become promiscuous-like.
- VLAN VIDs must be matched exactly, as matching all VLAN traffic while
excluding non-VLAN traffic is not supported.

Since flow rules synchronization function mlx4_flow_sync() takes into
account the state of the device (whether it is started), trigger functions
mlx4_flow_start() and mlx4_flow_stop() are redundant. Standardize on
mlx4_flow_sync().
Use this opportunity to enhance this function with better error reporting
as the inability to start the device due to a problem with a flow rule
otherwise results in a nondescript error code.

Since both internal and user-defined flow rules are handled by a common
implementation, flow rule priority overlaps are easier to detect. No need
to restrict their use to isolated mode only.
With this patch, only the lowest priority level remains inaccessible to
users outside isolated mode.
Also, the PMD no longer automatically assigns a fixed priority level to
user-defined flow rules, which means collisions between overlapping rules
matching a different number of protocol layers at a given priority level
won't be avoided anymore (e.g. "eth" vs. "eth / ipv4 / udp").
As a reminder, the outcome of overlapping rules for a given priority level
was, and still is, undefined territory according to API documentation.

When not in isolated mode, a flow rule is automatically configured by the
PMD to receive traffic addressed to the MAC address of the device. This
somewhat duplicates flow API functionality.
Remove legacy support for internal flow rules to instead handle them
through the flow API implementation.

Creating a flow rule targeting a missing (unconfigured) queue is not
possible. However, nothing really prevents the destruction of a queue with
existing flow rules still pointing at it, except currently the port must be
in a stopped state in order to avoid crashing.
Problem is that the port cannot be restarted if flow rules cannot be
re-applied due to missing queues. This flexibility will be needed by
subsequent work on this PMD.
Given that a PMD cannot decide on its own to remove problematic
user-defined flow rules in order to restart a port, work around this
restriction by making the affected ones drop-like, i.e. rules targeting
nonexistent queues drop packets instead.
