fa29fe45a7 net/hns3: support queue start and stop
The new generation hns3 network engine supports independent enabling and
disabling of a single Tx/Rx queue. So, it can support the queue start
and stop feature. In addition, when different numbers of Tx and Rx
queues need to be enabled in some applications, hns3 pmd does not need
to create fake queues to enable these scenarios.

This patch Add queue start and stop feature for the new generation hns3
networking engine. Cancel the creation of fake queue on the new
generation network engine. And the previously improperly named queue
related function was renamed to improve readability.

2ae23f5647 raw/ioat: add fill operation
Add fill operation enqueue support for IOAT and IDXD. The fill enqueue is
similar to the copy enqueue, but takes a 'pattern' rather than a source
address to transfer to the destination address. This patch also includes an
additional test case for the new operation type.

01863b9d23 raw/ioat: include example configuration script
Devices managed by the idxd kernel driver must be configured for DPDK use
before it can be used by the ioat driver. This example script serves both
as a quick way to get the driver set up with a simple configuration, and as
the basis for users to modify it and create their own configuration
scripts.

The Intel DSA devices can be exposed to userspace via kernel driver, so can

d09d396fad raw/ioat: add skeleton for VFIO/UIO based DSA device
Add in the basic probe/remove skeleton code for DSA devices which are bound
directly to vfio or uio driver. The kernel module for supporting these uses
the "idxd" name, so that name is used as function and file prefix to avoid
conflict with existing "ioat" prefixed functions.

Since we are adding new files to the driver and there will be common
definitions shared between the various files, we create a new internal
header file ioat_private.h to hold common macros and function prototypes.

f55d185540 raw/ioat: add separate API for fence call
Rather than having the fence signalled via a flag on a descriptor - which
requires reading the docs to find out whether the flag needs to go on the
last descriptor before, or the first descriptor after the fence - we can
instead add a separate fence API call. This becomes unambiguous to use,
since the fence call explicitly comes between two other enqueue calls. It
also allows more freedom of implementation in the driver code.

979e29ddbb raw/ioat: rename functions to be operation-agnostic

other than just copies, we can rename the doorbell and completion-return
functions to not have "copies" in their names. These functions are not
copy-specific, and so would apply for other operations which may be added
later to the driver.

Also add a suitable warning using deprecation attribute for any code using

7807a4fd38 bus/fslmc: run secondary debug app without restriction
dpaa2 hw impose limits on some HW access devices like DPMCP(Management

usages in case of multi-process applications. It can overcome by using
whitelist/blacklist in primary and secondary applications.
However it imposes restrictions on standard debugging apps like
dpdk-procinfo, which can be used to debug any existing application.

This patch introduces reserving extra DPMCP and DPIO to be used by
secondary process if devices are not blocked previously in primary
application.
This leaves the last DPMCP and DPIO for the secondary process usages.

such as:
 - device setup
 - ioctl message handling
 - queue pair enabling
 - dma map/unmap

userspace or to drop or process a subset of packets in the kernel.

fbd1913561 ethdev: remove old close behaviour
The temporary flag RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE is removed.
It was introduced in DPDK 18.11 in order to give time for PMDs to migrate.

The old behaviour was to free only queues when closing a port.
The new behaviour is calling rte_eth_dev_release_port() which does
three more tasks:
	- trigger event callback
	- reset state and few pointers
	- free all generic port resources

The private port resources must be released in the .dev_close callback.

The .remove callback should:
	- call .dev_close callback
	- call rte_eth_dev_release_port()
	- free multi-port device shared resources

Despite waiting two years, some drivers have not migrated,
so they may hit issues with the incompatible new behaviour.
After sending emails, adding logs, and announcing the deprecation,
the only last solution is to declare these drivers as unmaintained:
	ionic, liquidio, nfp
Below is a summary of what to implement in those drivers.

* The freeing of private port resources must be moved
from the ".remove(device)" function to the ".dev_close(port)" function.

* If a generic resource (.mac_addrs or .hash_mac_addrs) cannot be freed,
it must be set to NULL in ".dev_close" function to protect from
subsequent rte_eth_dev_release_port() freeing.

* Note 1:
The generic resources are freed in rte_eth_dev_release_port(),
after ".dev_close" is called in rte_eth_dev_close(), but not when
calling ".dev_close" directly from the ".remove" PMD function.
That's why rte_eth_dev_release_port() must still be called explicitly
from ".remove(device)" after calling the ".dev_close" PMD function.

* Note 2:
If a device can have multiple ports, the common resources must be freed
only in the ".remove(device)" function.

* Note 3:
The port is supposed to be in a stopped state when it is closed.
If it is not the case, it is free to the PMD implementation
how to react when trying to close a non-stopped port:
either try to stop it automatically or just return an error.

Kernel v5.10 will introduce the ability to efficiently share a UMEM
between AF_XDP sockets bound to different queue ids on the same or
different devices. This patch integrates that functionality into the AF_XDP
PMD.

A PMD will attempt to share a UMEM with others if the shared_umem=1 vdev
arg is set. UMEMs can only be shared across PMDs with the same mempool, up
to a limited number of PMDs goverened by the size of the given mempool.
Sharing UMEMs is not supported for non-zero-copy (aligned) mode.

The benefit of sharing UMEM across PMDs is a saving in memory due to not
having to register the UMEM multiple times. Throughput was measured to
remain within 2% of the default mode (not sharing UMEM).

A version of libbpf >= v0.2.0 is required and the appropriate pkg-config
file for libbpf must be installed such that meson can determine the
version.

1e4c88caea pipeline: add SWX extern objects and funcs
Add extern objects and functions to plug into the SWX pipeline any
functionality that cannot be efficiently implemented with existing
instructions, e.g. special checksum/ECC, crypto, meters, stats arrays,
heuristics, etc. In/out arguments are passed through mailbox with
format defined by struct.

6e0ca01c93 pipeline: add SWX pipeline input port
Add input ports to the newly introduced SWX pipeline type. Each port
instantiates a port type that defines the port operations, e.g. ethdev
port, PCAP port, etc. The RX interface is single packet, with packet
batching internally for performance.
