1daff5260f net/ena: use unmasked head and tail
The next_to_clean and next_to_use ring pointers sometimes were kept
wrapped around ring size, sometimes used beyond this limit. From now
on we increment them without regard to ring size limits, but when
reading the values they are wrapped accordingly. Moreover unit16_t
are unsed whenever possible.

bb6722fb5c net/i40e: fix VF bonded device link down
If VF device is used as slave of a bond device, it will be polled
periodically through alarm. Interrupt is involved here. And then
VF will send I40E_VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_LINK_STAT message to
PF to query the status. The response is handled by interrupt
callback. Interrupt is involved here again. That's why bond
device cannot bring up.

This patch removes I40E_VIRTCHNL_OP_GET_LINK_STAT
message. Link status in VF driver will be updated when PF driver
notify it, and VF stores this link status locally. VF driver just
returns the local status when being required.

f4668a33ef net/i40e: fix link status change interrupt
Previously, link status interrupt in i40e is achieved by checking
LINK_STAT_CHANGE_MASK in PFINT_ICR0 register which is provided only
for diagnostic use. Instead, drivers need to get the link status
change notification by using LSE (Link Status Event).

This patch enables LSE and calls LSC callback when the event is
received. This patch also removes the processing on
LINK_STAT_CHANGE_MASK.

Removing stopping LLDP in firmware is a workaround for a

663c76798f net/virtio: fix multiple queue enabling
When queue number shrinks to 1 from X, the following code stops us
sending the multiple queue ctrl message:

        if (nb_queues > 1) {
                if (virtio_set_multiple_queues(dev, nb_queues) != 0)
                        return -EINVAL;
        }

This ends up with still X queues being enabled, which is obviously
wrong. Fix it by replacing the check with a multiple queue enabled
or not check.

60d4a35303 net/virtio: fix less queues being enabled
From the virtio spec of view, multiple-queue is always enabled/disabled
in queue pairs. DPDK somehow allows the case when Tx and Rx queue number
are different.

Currently, virtio PMD get the queue pair number from the nb_rx_queues
field, which could be an issue when Tx queue number > Rx queue number.
Say, 2 Tx queues and 1 Rx queues. This would end up with 1 quues being
enabled. Which is wrong.

The fix is straightforward. Just pick a bigger number and enable that many
of queues.

69c80d4ef8 net/virtio: allocate queue at init stage
Queue allocation should be done once, since the queue related info (such
as vring addreess) will only be informed to the vhost-user backend once
without virtio device reset.

That means, if you allocate queues again after the vhost-user negotiation,
the vhost-user backend will not be informed any more. Leading to a state
that the vring info mismatches between virtio PMD driver and vhost-backend:
the driver switches to the new address has just been allocated, while the
vhost-backend still sticks to the old address has been assigned in the init
stage.

Unfortunately, that is exactly how the virtio driver is coded so far: queue
allocation is done at queue_setup stage (when rte_eth_tx/rx_queue_setup is
invoked). This is wrong, because queue_setup can be invoked several times.
For example,

    $ start_testpmd.sh ... --txq=1 --rxq=1 ...
    > port stop 0
    > port config all txq 1 # just trigger the queue_setup callback again
    > port config all rxq 1
    > port start 0

The right way to do is allocate the queues in the init stage, so that the
vring info could be persistent with the vhost-user backend.

Besides that, we should allocate max_queue pairs the device supports, but
not nr queue pairs firstly configured, to make following case work.

    $ start_testpmd.sh ... --txq=1 --rxq=1 ...
    > port stop 0
    > port config all txq 2
    > port config all rxq 2
    > port start 0

Since the allocation is switched to init stage, the free should also
moved from the rx/tx_queue_release to dev close stage. That leading we
could do nothing an empty rx/tx_queue_release() implementation.

3f3b3d549b net/virtio: revert fix restart
This reverts commit 9a0615af7746 ("virtio: fix restart"); conflict is
manually addressed.

Kyle reported an issue with above commit

    qemu-kvm: Guest moved used index from 5 to 1

with following steps,

    1) Start my virtio interfaces
    2) Send some traffic into/out of the interfaces
    3) Stop the interfaces
    4) Start the interfaces
    5) Send some more traffic

And here are some quotes from Kyle's analysis,

    Prior to the patch, if an interface were stopped then started, without
    restarting the application, the queues would be left as-is, because
    hw->started would be set to 1. Now, calling stop sets hw->started to 0,
    which means the next call to start will "touch the queues". This is the
    unintended side-effect that causes the problem.

We should not touch the queues once the init is done, otherwise, the vring
state of virtio PMD driver and vhost-user would be inconsistent, leading
some issue like above.

Thus this patch is reverted.

9d3ad924c2 doc: add basic guide for devbind
This summarizes the "how to call dpdk-devbind" in one place to be
picked up by html/pdf/man-page docs.

That knowledge was available before but spread in various docs along
examples (which are great and have to be kept) as well as in the
--usage/--help option of the tool itself.

As a root only program in sbin it should belong to section 8
"8   System administration commands (usually only for root)"

576de42b83 doc: render and install man pages
This enables the rendering of rst into man pages as well as installing
them (if built) along the binaries. To do so there is a new make target
"doc-guides-man" which will render the rst files into man format.

Currently these three tools had docs that were compatible "enough" to
make up for a reasonable manpage.
- testpmd
- dpdk-pdump
- dpdk-procinfo

Since a man page should be installed along the binary they are not
installed in install-doc but install-runtime insteade. If not explicitly
built by the "doc-guides-man" target before calling install-runtime
there is no change to the old behaviour.
