Environment variable MLX5_PMD_ENABLE_PADDING enables HW packet padding
in PCI bus transactions.
When packet size is cache aligned and CRC stripping is enabled, 4 fewer
bytes are written to the PCI bus. Enabling padding makes such packets
aligned again.
In cases where PCI bandwidth is the bottleneck, padding can improve
performance by 10%.
This is disabled by default since this can also decrease performance for
unaligned packet sizes.

When Linux PF and DPDK VF are used for i40e PMD, when a PF reset occurs,
an interrupt will go via adminq event to inform the VF of the reset.
A callback mechanism is introduced for the VF to allow it to invoke a

Users can register a callback for this interrupt event using:
rte_eth_dev_callback_register(portid,

The patch introduces a new PMD. This PMD is implemented as thin wrapper
of librte_vhost. It means librte_vhost is also needed to compile the PMD.
The vhost messages will be handled only when a port is started. So start
a port first, then invoke QEMU.
The PMD has 2 parameters.
- iface: The parameter is used to specify a path to connect to a
virtio-net device.
- queues: The parameter is used to specify the number of the queues
virtio-net device has.
(Default: 1)
Here is an example.
$ ./testpmd -c f -n 4 --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=/tmp/sock0,queues=1' -- -i
To connect above testpmd, here is qemu command example.
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
<snip>
-chardev socket,id=chr0,path=/tmp/sock0 \
-netdev vhost-user,id=net0,chardev=chr0,vhostforce,queues=1 \

Normally the auto-negotiation is supported by FW. SW need not care about
that. But on x550em_x, FW doesn't support auto-neg. As the x550em_x ports
are 10G, if we connect the port will a peer which is 1G, the link will
always be down.
We need support auto-neg by SW to avoid this link down issue. As we already
have the code to handle the link speed setting, what we need is a trigger.
When the advertised link speed changes, a PHY interruption will be
triggered. So, we should handle this interrupt and call ixgbe_handle_lasi
to set the link speed correctly.
Please be aware it's working when auto-neg is on. If the auto-neg of the
peer port is turned off and its speed is indicated manually, we should also
set the speed of our own port manually.

This resolves an issue where packets were being dropped when switching

Setting this bit makes no sense in perfect filters mode for the

rule to a single queue and instead fall back to RSS.
Drivers that need this bit set can call ixgbe_set_fdir_drop_queue_82599()

This patch adds a new function to the EAL API:
int rte_eal_primary_proc_alive(const char *path);
The function indicates if a primary process is alive right now.
This functionality is implemented by testing for a write-
lock on the config file, and the function tests for a lock.
The use case for this functionality is that a secondary
process can wait until a primary process starts by polling
the function and waiting. When the primary is running, the
secondary continues to poll to detect if the primary process
has quit unexpectedly, the secondary process can detect this.

Add RTE_DEVEL_BUILD make-variable which can be used to do things
differently when doing development vs building a release,
autodetected from source root .git presence and overridable via
commandline. It is used it to enable -Werror compiler flag and may
be extended to other checks.
Failing build on warnings is a useful developer tool but its bad
for release tarballs which can and do get built with newer
compilers than what was used/available during development. Compilers
routinely add new warnings so code which built silently with cc X
might no longer do so with X+1. This doesn't make the existing code
any more buggier and failing the build in this case does not help
to improve the quality of an already released version either.

How to reproduce:
1. Start vhost-switch

2. Start VM with a virtio port
$ $QEMU -smp cores=2,sockets=1 -m 4G -cpu host -enable-kvm \
-chardev socket,id=char1,path=<path to vhost-user socket> \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=vhostuser1 \

-hda <path to VM img>
3. Start l2fwd in VM
$ ./examples/l2fwd/build/l2fwd -c 0x1 -n 4 -m 1024 -- -p 0x1
4. Use ixia to inject packets in a small data bit rate.
Error:
vhost-switch keeps printing error message:
failed to allocate memory for mbuf.
Root cause:
How many mbufs allocated for a port is calculated by below formula.
NUM_MBUFS_PER_PORT = ((MAX_QUEUES*RTE_TEST_RX_DESC_DEFAULT) + \
(num_switching_cores*MAX_PKT_BURST) + \
(num_switching_cores*RTE_TEST_TX_DESC_DEFAULT) +\
(num_switching_cores*MBUF_CACHE_SIZE))
We suppose num_switching_cores is 1 and MBUF_CACHE_SIZE is 128.
And when initializing port, master core fills mbuf mempool cache,
so there would be some left in that cache, for example 121.
So total mbufs which can be used is:
(MAX_PKT_BURST + MBUF_CACHE_SIZE - 121) = (32 + 128 - 121) = 39.
What makes it worse is that there is a buffer to store mbufs
(which will be tx_burst to physical port), if it occupies some mbufs,
there will be possible < 32 mbufs left, so vhost dequeue prints out
this msg.
In all, it fails to include master core's mbuf mempool cache.

Add guest offload setting in vhost lib.
Virtio 1.0 spec (5.1.6.4 Processing of Incoming Packets) says:
1. If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM feature was negotiated, the
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM bit in flags can be set: if so,
the packet checksum at offset csum_offset from csum_start
and any preceding checksums have been validated. The checksum
on the packet is incomplete and csum_start and csum_offset
indicate how to calculate it (see Packet Transmission point 1).
2. If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4, TSO6 or UFO options were
negotiated, then gso_type MAY be something other than
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_NONE, and gso_size field indicates the
desired MSS (see Packet Transmission point 2).
In order to support these features, the following changes are added,
1. Extend 'VHOST_SUPPORTED_FEATURES' macro to add the offload features negotiation.
2. Enqueue these offloads: convert some fields in mbuf to the fields in virtio_net_hdr.
There are more explanations for the implementation.
For VM2VM case, there is no need to do checksum, for we think the
data should be reliable enough, and setting VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM
at RX side will let the TCP layer to bypass the checksum validation,
so that the RX side could receive the packet in the end.
In terms of us-vhost, at vhost RX side, the offload information is
inherited from mbuf, which is in turn inherited from TX side. If we
can still get those info at RX side, it means the packet is from
another VM at same host. So, it's safe to set the
VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM, to skip checksum validation.

Modern (v1.0) virtio pci device defines several pci capabilities.
Each cap has a configure structure corresponding to it, and the
cap.bar and cap.offset fields tell us where to find it.
Firstly, we map the pci resources by rte_eal_pci_map_device().
We then could easily locate a cfg structure by:
cfg_addr = dev->mem_resources[cap.bar].addr + cap.offset;
Therefore, the entrance of enabling modern (v1.0) pci device support
is to iterate the pci capability lists, and to locate some configs
we care; and they are:
- common cfg
For generic virtio and virtqueue configuration, such as setting/getting
features, enabling a specific queue, and so on.
- nofity cfg
Combining with `queue_notify_off' from common cfg, we could use it to
notify a specific virt queue.
- device cfg
Where virtio_net_config structure is located.
- isr cfg
Where to read isr (interrupt status).
If any of above cap is not found, we fallback to the legacy virtio
handling.
If succeed, hw->vtpci_ops is assigned to modern_ops, where all
operations are implemented by reading/writing a (or few) specific
configuration space from above 4 cfg structures. And that's basically
how this patch works.
Besides those changes, virtio 1.0 introduces a new status field:
FEATURES_OK, which is set after features negotiation is done.
Last, set the VIRTIO_F_VERSION_1 feature flag.
