92ac1d5a13 eal: fix hotplug device parsing
snprintf returns the length it would have written had the given length
been enough, *terminating null byte excluded*.

It will however limit the length of its writing to given length minus
one, and always put a terminating null-byte at the end of the string.

This must be taken into account when calculating the total length of the
device declaration string.

8820cba4d9 app/testpmd: fix Tx first with LSC interrupt
The lsc_interrupt flag is enabled by default, and when the --tx-first is
used as a command line parameter, the 32 packets can be sent out before
the link state is up, resulting in the loss of the packets, and no further
forwarding will take place.

E.g. ./build/app/testpmd -c f0 -- --tx-first --stats-period 1

When the --tx-first is used, the lsc_interrupt flag needs to be disabled,
ensuring the links are up before forwarding traffic.  Therefore, during the
parameter checking at startup, if --tx-first is used, we now warn the user,
and set lsc_interrupt to 0.

Statistics should be corrected by subtracting counters of errored packets.

1cba20c610 net/mlx5: fix trimming SW ring for vectorized Rx
Unlike mlx5_rx_burst(), mlx5_rx_burst_vec() doesn't replace completed
buffers one by one right after completion is processed but replenishes
multiple buffers later with rte_mempool_get_bulk(). Therefore, there could
be some buffer addresses left in the SW ring (rxq->elts[]) which have
already been delivered to application. As PMD doesn't own such buffers, it
must not be freed by PMD.  "Trimming" is needed before cleanup.

A problem can be seen when quitting testpmd when
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MBUF_DEBUG=y and CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MEMPOOL_DEBUG=y

Trimming should be as simple as possible, it shouldn't touch any indexes
and buffer allocation isn't necessary.

Hence, failsafe PMD was aborted, only in debug mode, when

The workaround added option to replace all claim_zero
assertions with debugging messages, by the way, this option
affects non ibv destroy assertions.

79da7b914d net/failsafe: fix blank line parsing
When the output of an exec() slave definition is only a single newline
character, the fail-safe currently fails to parse the device with the
value returned by the rte_devargs library.

This behavior is incorrect, because the fail-safe should make a
difference between the absence of a device, and an erroneous device
declaration.

Fix the output sanitization in the case where no newline was at its end
and detect the special case of an absent device. The correct error code
is then returned.

f9ef083c6c doc: add author on cc to git fixline alias
With this commit, the correct method to use git fixline to indicate

author of the original code that is being fixed to be on CC.

The logic behind this improvement is that if there is a genuine bug,
one of the ideal people to review is the author of the original code
being fixed. Adding them on Cc makes them aware of the patch, avoiding
it from being passed by accidentally while reading the mailing-list.

Given that the original author (now on Cc:) might not actually review,
there is no value in keeping the Cc: in git commit history. If the
original author performs a review, their Reviewed-by: or Acked-by: is

d239f17d34 doc: move i40e specific to i40e guide
The Linux Getting Started Guide contains
parts which are specific for i40e PMD. This results
in confusion for users which read the guide at their
first try with DPDK.

Moving those parts to the i40e NIC manual.

0db52e6694 doc: move kernel drivers to a new chapter
The UIO and VFIO sections should not be part of
the "Compiling the DPDK Target from Source" chapter,
as it is PMD specific and not true for all PMDs.

Instead, moving those sections to a new chapter
which include all kernel drivers being used along with
the different PMDs.
