This patch adds function rte_pktmbuf_linearize to let crypto PMD coalesce
chained mbuf before crypto operation and extend their capabilities to
support segmented mbufs when device cannot handle them natively.
Included unit tests for rte_pktmbuf_linearize functionality:
1) Creates banch of segmented mbufs with different size and number of
segments.
2) Fills noncontigouos mbuf with sequential values.
3) Uses rte_pktmbuf_linearize to coalesce segmented buffer into one
contiguous.
4) Verifies data in linearized buffer.

Added API for `rte_eth_tx_prepare`
uint16_t rte_eth_tx_prepare(uint8_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id,
struct rte_mbuf **tx_pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts)
Added fields to the `struct rte_eth_desc_lim`:
uint16_t nb_seg_max;
/**< Max number of segments per whole packet. */
uint16_t nb_mtu_seg_max;
/**< Max number of segments per one MTU */
These fields can be used to create valid packets according to the
following rules:
* For non-TSO packet, a single transmit packet may span up to
"nb_mtu_seg_max" buffers.
* For TSO packet the total number of data descriptors is "nb_seg_max",
and each segment within the TSO may span up to "nb_mtu_seg_max".
Added functions:
int
rte_validate_tx_offload(struct rte_mbuf *m)
to validate general requirements for tx offload set in mbuf of packet
such a flag completness. In current implementation this function is
called optionaly when RTE_LIBRTE_ETHDEV_DEBUG is enabled.
int rte_net_intel_cksum_prepare(struct rte_mbuf *m)
to prepare pseudo header checksum for TSO and non-TSO tcp/udp packets
before hardware tx checksum offload.
- for non-TSO tcp/udp packets full pseudo-header checksum is
counted and set.
- for TSO the IP payload length is not included.
int
rte_net_intel_cksum_flags_prepare(struct rte_mbuf *m, uint64_t ol_flags)
this function uses same logic as rte_net_intel_cksum_prepare, but
allows application to choose which offloads should be taken into
account, if full preparation is not required.
PERFORMANCE TESTS
-----------------
This feature was tested with modified csum engine from test-pmd.
The packet checksum preparation was moved from application to Tx
preparation step placed before burst.
We may expect some overhead costs caused by:
1) using additional callback before burst,
2) rescanning burst,
3) additional condition checking (packet validation),
4) worse optimization (e.g. packet data access, etc.)
We tested it using ixgbe Tx preparation implementation with some parts
disabled to have comparable information about the impact of different
parts of implementation.
IMPACT:
1) For unimplemented Tx preparation callback the performance impact is
negligible,
2) For packet condition check without checksum modifications (nb_segs,
available offloads, etc.) is 14626628/14252168 (~2.62% drop),
3) Full support in ixgbe driver (point 2 + packet checksum
initialization) is 14060924/13588094 (~3.48% drop)

Following discussions in [1] and [2], introduce a new bit to
describe the Rx checksum status in mbuf.
Before this patch, only one flag was available:
PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD: L4 cksum of RX pkt. is not OK.
And same for L3:
PKT_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD: IP cksum of RX pkt. is not OK.
This had 2 issues:
- it was not possible to differentiate "checksum good" from
"checksum unknown".
- it was not possible for a virtual driver to say "the checksum
in packet may be wrong, but data integrity is valid".
This patch tries to solve this issue by having 4 states (2 bits)
for the IP and L4 Rx checksums. New values are:
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_UNKNOWN: no information about the RX L4 checksum
-> the application should verify the checksum by sw
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD: the L4 checksum in the packet is wrong
-> the application can drop the packet without additional check
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_GOOD: the L4 checksum in the packet is valid
-> the application can accept the packet without verifying the
checksum by sw
- PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_NONE: the L4 checksum is not correct in the packet
data, but the integrity of the L4 data is verified.
-> the application can process the packet but must not verify the
checksum by sw. It has to take care to recalculate the cksum
if the packet is transmitted (either by sw or using tx offload)
And same for L3 (replace L4 by IP in description above).
This commit tries to be compatible with existing applications that
only check the existing flag (CKSUM_BAD).

Some application use rte_mbuf_raw_alloc() function to improve
performance by not resetting mbuf's fields to their default state.
This can be however problematic for mbuf consumers that need some
headroom, meaning that data_off field gets decremented after
allocation. When the mbuf is re-used afterwards, there might not
be enough room for the consumer to prepend anything, if the data_off

This patch adds a new rte_pktmbuf_reset_headroom() function that

The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.
Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.
For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.
This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:
- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done (vector and normal), the old flag was set
when a vlan was recognized, even if vlan stripping was disabled.
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.
For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the behavior was
already correct, so we can reuse the same bit value for
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

The macro RTE_VERIFY always checks a condition.
It is optimized with "unlikely" hint.
While this macro is well suited for test applications, it is preferred

That's why the macro RTE_ASSERT is introduced to call RTE_VERIFY only
if built with debug logs enabled.
A lot of assert macros were duplicated and enabled with a specific flag.
Removing these #ifdef allows to test these code branches more easily
and avoid dead code pitfalls.
The ENA_ASSERT is kept (in debug mode only) because it has more

It looks better to have a data buffer address that is aligned to
8 bytes. This is the case when there is no mbuf private area, but
if there is one, the alignment depends on the size of this area
that is located between the mbuf structure and the data buffer.
Indeed, some drivers expects to have the buffer address aligned
to an even address, and moreover an unaligned buffer may impact
the performance when accessing to network headers.
Add a check in rte_pktmbuf_pool_create() to verify the alignment
constraint before creating the mempool. For applications that use
the alternative way (direct call to rte_mempool_create), also
add an assertion in rte_pktmbuf_init().
