The patch simplifies DPDK applications analysis for developers which use
Intel® VTune Amplifier.
The empty cycles are such iterations that yielded no RX packets. As far as
DPDK is running in poll mode, wasting cycles is equal to wasting CPU time.
Tracing such iterations can identify that device is underutilized. Tracing
empty cycles becomes even more critical if a system uses a lot of Ethernet
ports.
The patch gives possibility to analyze empty cycles without changing
application code. All needs to be done is just to reconfigure and rebuild
the DPDK itself with CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_ITT_WASTED_RX_ITERATIONS
enbled. The important thing here is that this does not affect DPDK code.
The profiling code is not being compiled if user does not specify config
flag.
The patch provides common way to inject RX queues profiling and VTune
specific implementation.

This patch adds a new eth_dev layer API function rte_eth_dev_reset(),
which a DPDK application can call to reset a NIC and keep its port id
afterwards. It means that all software resources allocated in the ethdev
layer are kept, and software & hardware resources of the NIC within the
NIC's PMD are reset to a state simular to that obtained by calling the
PCI dev_uninit() and then dev_init(). This effective sequence of
dev_uninit() and dev_init() is packed into a single API function
rte_eth_dev_reset().
Please see the comments before the declaration of rte_eht_dev_reset()
in lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.h to get more details on why this
function is needed, what it does, when it should be called
and what an application should do after calling this function.

While almost all libraries have the library name match the directory name,
some libraries and drivers do not. For those that don't, some have the

The name of a device is copied in a provided buffer within
rte_eth_dev_detach(). The current sizeof is done on a pointer instead of
the intended array usually pointed to.
The name field of an rte_device is not assured however to point an
rte_devargs name field. The almost correct length to base this copy over
is thus RTE_DEV_NAME_MAX_LEN.
Almost correct, because unfortunately this function does not allow the
user to pass down a size parameter for the buffer it is meant to write.
This API should be fixed, it is broken by design.

if a PMD advertises DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE capable, multiple threads
can invoke rte_eth_tx_burst() concurrently on the same tx queue without
SW lock. This PMD feature will be useful in the following use cases and
found in the OCTEON family of NPUs.
1) Remove explicit spinlock in some applications where lcores
to TX queues are not mapped 1:1.
example: OVS has such instance

The rte_flow feature breaks the monolithic approach for ethdev by
introducing the new rte_flow API to ethdev using a plugin-like approach.
Basically, the rte_flow API is still logically part of ethdev:
- It extends the ethdev functionality: rte_flow is a new feature/
capability of ethdev;
- all its functions work on an Ethernet device: the first parameter of the
rte_flow functions is Ethernet device port ID.
Also, the rte_flow API is a sort of capability plugin for ethdev:
- the rte_flow API functions have their own name space: they are called
rte_flow_operationXYZ() as opposed to rte_eth_dev_flow_operationXYZ());
- the rte_flow API functions are placed in separate files in the same
librte_ether folder as opposed to rte_ethdev.[hc].
The way it works is by using the existing ethdev API function
rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl() to query the current Ethernet device port ID for
the support of the rte_flow capability and return the pointer to the
rte_flow operations when supported and NULL otherwise:
struct rte_flow_ops *eth_flow_ops;
int rte = rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl(eth_port_id,
RTE_ETH_FILTER_GENERIC, RTE_ETH_FILTER_GET, ð_flow_ops);
This patch reuses the same approach for ethdev Traffic Management API.

Suppose we have 2 virtio devices for a VM, with only the first one,
virtio0, binding to igb_uio. Start a primary DPDK process, driving
only virtio0. Then start a secondary DPDK process, it encounters
segfault at eth_virtio_dev_init() because hw is NULL, when trying
to initialize the 2nd virtio devices.
1539 if (!hw->virtio_user_dev) {
We could add a precheck to return error when hw is NULL. But the
root cause is that virtio devices which are not driven by the primary
process are not exluded by secondary eal probe function.
To support legacy virtio devices bound to none kernel driver, we
removed RTE_PCI_DRV_NEED_MAPPING in
commit 962cf902e6eb ("pci: export device mapping functions").
At the boot of primary process, ether dev is allocated in rte_eth_devices
array, rte_eth_dev_data is also allocated in rte_eth_dev_data array; then
probe function fails; and ether dev is released. However, the entry in
rte_eth_dev_data array is not cleared. Then we start secondary process,
and try to attach the virtio device that not used in primary process,
the field, dev_private (or hw), in rte_eth_dev_data, is NULL.
To fail the dev attach, we need to clear the field, name, when we
release any ether devices in primary, so that below loop in
rte_eth_dev_attach_secondary() will not find any matched names.

Isolated mode can be requested by applications on individual ports to avoid
ingress traffic outside of the flow rules they define.
Besides making ingress more deterministic, it allows PMDs to safely reuse
resources otherwise assigned to handle the remaining traffic, such as
global RSS configuration settings, VLAN filters, MAC address entries,
legacy filter API rules and so on in order to expand the set of possible
flow rule types.
To minimize code complexity, PMDs implementing this mode may provide
partial (or even no) support for flow rules when not enabled (e.g. no
priorities, no RSS action). Applications written to use the flow API are
therefore encouraged to enable it.
Once effective, leaving isolated mode may not be possible depending on PMD
implementation.

Added new functions rte_eth_xstats_get_names_by_id and
rte_eth_xstats_get_by_id using additional arguments (in compare
to rte_eth_xstats_get_names and rte_eth_xstats_get) - array of ids
and array of values.
doc: add description for modified xstats API
Documentation change for new extended statistics API functions.
The old API only allows retrieval of *all* of the NIC statistics
at once. Given this requires a MMIO read PCI transaction per statistic
it is an inefficient way of retrieving just a few key statistics.
Often a monitoring agent only has an interest in a few key statistics,
and the old API forces wasting CPU time and PCIe bandwidth in retrieving
*all* statistics; even those that the application didn't explicitly
show an interest in.
The new, more flexible API allow retrieval of statistics per ID.
If a PMD wishes, it can be implemented to read just the required
NIC registers. As a result, the monitoring application no longer wastes
PCIe bandwidth and CPU time.

C++ does not support the C99-style designated initializers used in this

Considering that:
- using pre-C99 initialization style for compatibility with C++ would
render them difficult to understand (all struct members must be

- using both initialization styles would be needlessly verbose
- not exposing them at all would defeat their purpose
- applications do not normally need these symbols at run time
This commit hides these symbols from C++ applications. Specific C++
initializers will be added later if necessary.
