The previous implementation of rte_kni_alloc() was allocating memzones with a
name composed of a fixed string and the interface name. When an application was
allocating and deallocating multiple interfaces with different names, memzones
were quickly exhausted, even though memzones from deallocated interfaces were
never used anymore (unless an interface with the same name was re-allocated).
As a result, the application was unable to allocate more KNI interfaces with
different names.
This patch implements the KNI memzone pool in order to prevent memzone
exhaustion when allocating/deallocating KNI interfaces. It adds a new API call,
rte_kni_init(max_kni_ifaces) that shall be called before any call to
rte_kni_alloc() if KNI is used. The memzones are pre-allocated with interface-
independent names so that they can be reused.

The vlan_macip structure combined a vlan tag id with l2 and l3 headers
lengths for tracking offloads. However, this structure was only used as
a unit by the e1000 and ixgbe drivers, not generally.
This patch removes the structure from the mbuf header and places the
fields into the mbuf structure directly at the required point, without
any net effect on the structure layout. This allows us to treat the vlan
tags and header length fields as separate for future mbuf changes. The
drivers which were written to use the combined structure still do so,
using a driver-local definition of it.
Reduce perf regression caused by splitting vlan_macip field. This is
done by providing a single uint16_t value to allow writing/clearing
the l2 and l3 lengths together. There is still a small perf hit to the
slow path TX due to the reads from vlan_tci and l2/l3 lengths being
separated. (<5% in my tests with testpmd with no extra params).
Unfortunately, this cannot be eliminated, without restoring the vlan
tags and l2/l3 lengths as a combined 32-bit field. This would prevent
us from ever looking to move those fields about and is an artificial tie
that applies only for performance in igb and ixgbe drivers. Therefore,
this patch keeps the vlan_tci field separate from the lengths as the
best solution going forward.

The rte_pktmbuf structure was initially included in the rte_mbuf
structure. This was needed when there was 2 types of mbuf (ctrl and
packet). As the control mbuf has been removed, we can merge the
rte_pktmbuf into the rte_mbuf structure.
Advantages of doing this:
- the access to mbuf fields is easier (ex: m->data instead of m->pkt.data)
- make the structure more consistent: for instance, there was no reason
to have the ol_flags field in rte_mbuf
- it will allow a deeper reorganization of the rte_mbuf structure in the

[Thomas: some code-style changes]
With latest HW and optimised RX/TX path there is a huge gap between
tespmd iofwd and l3fwd performance results.
So there is an attempt to optimise l3fwd LPM code path and reduce the gap:
- Instead of processing each input packet up to completion -
divide packet processing into several stages and perform
stage by stage for the whole burst.
- Unroll things by the factor of 4 whenever possible.
- Use SSE instincts for some operations (bswap, replace MAC addresses, etc).
- Avoid TX packet buffering whenever possible.
- Move some checks from RX/TX into setup phase.
Note that new(optimized) code path can be switched on/off by setting
ENABLE_MULTI_BUFFER_OPTIMIZE macro to 1/0.
Some performance data:
SUT: dual-socket board IVB 2.8GHz, 2x1GB pages.
4 ports on 4 NICs (all at socket 0) connected to the traffic generator.
kernel: 3.11.3-201.fc19.x86_64, gcc: 4.8.2.
64B packets, using the packet flooding method.
All 4 ports are managed by one logical core:
Optimised scalar PMD RX/TX was used.

This patch supports user space vhost zero copy. It removes packets copying between host and guest in RX/TX.
It introduces an extra ring to store the detached mbufs. At initialization stage all mbufs will put into
this ring; when one guest starts, vhost gets the available buffer address allocated by guest for RX and
translates them into host space addresses, then attaches them to mbufs and puts the attached mbufs into
mempool.
Queue starting and DMA refilling will get mbufs from mempool and use them to set the DMA addresses.
For TX, it gets the buffer addresses of available packets to be transmitted from guest and translates
them to host space addresses, then attaches them to mbufs and puts them to TX queues.
After TX finishes, it pulls mbufs out from mempool, detaches them and puts them back into the extra ring.

This provides a sample application and library showing how to use the
Intel(R) DPDK with basic netmap applications.
The Netmap compatibility library provides a minimal set of APIs to give the ability to
programs written against the Netmap APIs to be run with minimal changes to their
source code, using the Intel® DPDK to perform the actual packet I/O.
Since Netmap applications use regular system calls, like open(), ioctl() and
mmap() to communicate with the Netmap kernel module performing the packet I/O,
the compat_netmap library provides a set of similar APIs to use in place of those
system calls, effectively turning a Netmap application into a Intel(R) DPDK one.
The provided library is currently minimal and doesn’t support all the features that
Netmap supports, but is enough to run simple applications, such as the
bridge example included.
The application requires a single command line option:
-i INTERFACE is the number of a valid Intel(R) DPDK port to use.
If a single -i parameter is given, the interface will send back all the traffic it
receives. If two -i parameters are given, the two interfaces form a bridge, where
traffic received on one interface is replicated and sent by the other interface.

MAC address or VLAN tag.
This solution is comprised of two components; a Poll Mode Driver (PMD)
as the front end in the guest domain and a switching back end in the
host domain. XenStore is used to exchange configure information
between the PMD front end and switching back end,
including grant reference IDs for shared Virtio RX/TX rings, MAC
address, device state, and so on.
The front end PMD can be found in the Intel DPDK directory lib/
librte_pmd_xenvirt and back end example in examples/vhost_xen.
