82113036e4 ethdev: redesign link speed config
This patch redesigns the API to set the link speed/s configuration
of an ethernet port. Specifically:

- it allows to define a set of advertised speeds for
  auto-negociation.
- it allows to disable link auto-negociation (single fixed speed).
- default: auto-negociate all supported speeds.

A flag autoneg in struct rte_eth_link indicates if link speed was a
result of auto-negociation or was fixed by configuration.

e274f57322 ethdev: add speed capabilities
The speed capabilities of a device can be retrieved with
rte_eth_dev_info_get().

The new field speed_capa is initialized in the drivers without
taking care of device characteristics in this patch.
When the capabilities of a driver are accurate, the table in

f9bd334211 hash: fix multi-process support
Hash library used a function pointer to choose a different
key compare function, depending on the key size.
As a result, multiple processes could not use the same hash table,
as the function addresses vary from one process to another.

Instead, a jump table is used, so each process has its own
function addresses, accessing this table with an index stored
in the hash table (note that using a custom key compare function
is not supported in multi-process mode).

Fixes: 48a3991196 ("hash: replace with cuckoo hash implementation")

ceb1ccd5d5 qat: add out-of-place symmetric operations
This patch adds out-of-place operations to qat symmetric crypto PMD,
i.e. the result of the operation can be written to the destination buffer
instead of overwriting the source buffer as done in "in-place" operation.
Both buffers can be of different sizes.
Previously the qat PMD assumed that m_src and m_dst in rte_crypto_sym_op
were identical.

71a7e2424e examples/l3fwd: fix using packet type blindly
As a example to use ptype info, l3fwd needs firstly to use
rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes() API to check if device and/or
its PMD driver will parse and fill the needed packet type; if not,
use the newly added option, --parse-ptype, to analyze it in the
callback softly.

As the mode of EXACT_MATCH uses the 5 tuples to caculate hash, so
we narrow down its scope to:
  a. ip packets with no extensions, and
  b. L4 payload should be either tcp or udp.

Note: this patch does not completely solve the issue, "cannot run
l3fwd on virtio or other devices", because hw_ip_checksum may be
not supported by the devices. Currently we can:
  a. remove this requirements, or
  b. wait for virtio front end (pmd) to support it.

96c0450dff ixgbe: fix dropping packets from unsupported Tx queues
Ixgbe HW supports 128 TX queues. However, the full 128 queues are only
available in VT and DCB mode.  In normal default "none" mode (VT/DCB off)
the maximum number of available queues is only 64.

The driver doesn't check the mode when reporting the available
number of queues, allowing more that 64 queues to be used in all cases.
If a queue no. >=64 is used in default mode, the TX packets will be dropped
silently.

This change adds a check to forbid using a queue number larger than 64
during device configuration (in default mode), so that the problem is
reported as early as possible.

4d803a7246 mlx5: support HW packet padding
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.

ee584e9710 vhost: add driver on top of the library
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 \

2fdd835f99 vmxnet3: support jumbo frames
Add support for linking multi-segment buffers together to
handle Jumbo packets. The vmxnet3 API supports having header
and body buffer types. What this patch does is fill the primary
ring completely with header buffers and the secondary ring
with body buffers. This allows for non-jumbo frames to only
use one mbuf (from primary ring); and jumbo frames will have
first mbuf from primary ring and following mbufs from other
ring.

This could be optimized in future if the DPDK had API
to supply different sized mbufs (two pools) into driver.

eb57d9b750 fm10k: setup Rx interrupt for PF and VF
In interrupt mode, each rx queue can have one interrupt to notify the
application when packets are available in that queue. Some queues
also can share one interrupt.
Currently, fm10k needs one separate interrupt for mailbox. So, only those
drivers which support multiple interrupt vectors e.g. vfio-pci can work
in fm10k interrupt mode.
This patch uses the RXINT/INT_MAP registers to map interrupt causes
(rx queue and other events) to vectors, and enable these interrupts
through kernel drivers like vfio-pci.

97ac72aa71 i40e: support setting VF MAC address
This patch implemented the ops of adding and removing mac
address in i40evf driver. Functions are assigned like:
  .mac_addr_add    =  i40evf_add_mac_addr,
  .mac_addr_remove = i40evf_del_mac_addr,
To support multiple mac addresses setting, this patch also
extended the mac addresses adding and deletion when device
start and stop. Each VF can have a maximum of 64 mac
addresses.

689bba3327 i40e: add VEB switching support
VEB switching feature for i40e is used to enable the switching between the
VSIs connect to the virtual bridge. The old implementation is setting the
virtual bridge mode as VEPA which is port aggregation. Enable the switching
ability by setting the loop back mode for the specific VSIs which connect
to PF or VFs.

VEB/VSI/VEPA are concepts not specific to the i40e HW, the concepts are
from 802.1qbg spec
IEEE EVB tutorial:
http://www.ieee802.org/802_tutorials/2009-11/evb-tutorial-draft-20091116_v09.pdf

VEB: a virtual switch can forward the packet based on the specific match
field.
VSI: a virtual interface connect between the VEB/VEPA and virtual machine.
VEPA: a virtual Ethernet port aggregator will upstream the packets from
VSI to the LAN port.

8cc72f2814 examples/vmdq_dcb: support X710
Currently, the example vmdq_dcb only works on Intel(R) 82599 NICs.
This patch extends this sample to make it work both on Intel(R) 82599
and X710/XL710 NICs by making the following changes:
  1. add VMDQ base queue checking to avoid forwarding on PF queues.
  2. assign each VMDQ pool to a MAC address.
  3. add more arguments (nb-tcs, enable-rss) to change the default
     setting
  4. extend the max number of queues from 128 to 1024.
This patch also reworks the user guide for the vmdq_dcb sample.

5135f3ca49 i40e: enable DCB in VMDQ VSIs
Previously, DCB(Data Center Bridging) is only enabled on PF,
queue mapping and BW configuration is only done on PF.
This patch enables DCB for VMDQ VSIs(Virtual Station Interfaces)
by following steps:
  1. Take BW and ETS(Enhanced Transmission Selection)
     configuration on VEB(Virtual Ethernet Bridge).
  2. Take BW and ETS configuration on VMDQ VSIs.
  3. Update TC(Traffic Class) and queues mapping on VMDQ VSIs.
To enable DCB on VMDQ, the number of TCs should not be larger than
the number of queues in VMDQ pools, and the number of queues per
VMDQ pool is specified by CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_QUEUE_NUM_PER_VM
in config/common_* file.
