Maximum and minimum MTU values vary between hardware devices. In
hardware agnostic DPDK applications access to such information would
allow a more accurate way of validating and setting supported MTU values on
a per device basis rather than using a defined default for all devices.
The following solution was proposed:
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2018-September/110959.html
This patch adds a depreciation notice for ``rte_eth_dev_info`` as new
members will be added to represent min and max MTU values. These can be
added to fit a hole in the existing structure for amd64 but not for 32 bit,
as such ABI change will occur as size of the structure will be impacted.

Currently, the most complete (but still incomplete) user guide for
EAL command-line parameters resides in user guide for testpmd.
This is wrong on multiple levels, and should not be the case.
To fix it, we have to create a document that lists all supported
EAL command-line arguments. However, because different platforms
support different subsets of available EAL parameters, instead of
creating a single file, we will create a common file in
doc/guides/common containing documentation for EAL parameters
that are supported on all of our supported platforms (Linux and
FreeBSD at the time of this writing).
We will then include this document in the Getting Started guides
for all supported platforms, so that any changes made to
documentation for commonly supported EAL parameters will be
reflected in Getting Started guides for all platforms.
This patch also removes EAL parameters documentation from the
testpmd user guide, and instead adds references to the newly
created documents in both testpmd user guides and in sample
applications guide.

When running unit tests automatically, either via script, from meson,
or otherwise, the same set of options may be used for each run, for
example to set a standard coremask to be used for all tests.
To facilitate this, this patch adds support for the test binary taking
additional EAL parameters from the environment and appending them to the
argc/argv list passed to eal init. This allows parameter modification
without having to edit test scripts etc.
There are now two environment variables which can be used for running
tests:
* DPDK_TEST - (added previously) passes the test name to be run
automatically rather than running the app interactively.
Used by "meson test" when running tests individually or
as part of a suite.
* DPDK_TEST_PARAMS - new parameter to specify the commandline arguments
to use with the test binary. For example to run a test,
or tests, on only 16 lcores, and to skip pci scan we can
set this to "-l 0-15 --no-pci".

A PMD parameter (rxq_cqe_pad_en) is added to enable 128B padding of CQE on
RX side. The size of CQE is aligned with the size of a cacheline of the
core. If cacheline size is 128B, the CQE size is configured to be 128B even
though the device writes only 64B data on the cacheline. This is to avoid
unnecessary cache invalidation by device's two consecutive writes on to one
cacheline. However in some architecture, it is more beneficial to update
entire cacheline with padding the rest 64B rather than striding because
read-modify-write could drop performance a lot. On the other hand, writing
extra data will consume more PCIe bandwidth and could also drop the maximum
throughput. It is recommended to empirically set this parameter. Disabled
by default.

Example for MPLSoGRE tunnel:
ETH / IPV4 / GRE / MPLS / IP / L4..L7
In order to encapsulate such a tunnel there is a need to remove L2 of
the inner packet and encap the remaining tunnel, this is done by
applying 2 rte flow commands l2_decap followed by mplsogre_encap.
Both commands must appear in the same flow, and from the point of the
packet it both actions are applied at the same time. (There is no part
where a packet doesn't have L2 header).
Decapsulating such a tunnel works the other way, first we need to decap
the outer tunnel header and then apply the new L2.
So the commands will be mplsogre_decap / l2_encap
Due to the complex encapsulation of MPLSoGRE flow action and
based on the fact testpmd does not allocate memory, this patch adds a
new command in testpmd to initialise a global structure containing the
necessary information to make the outer layer of the packet. This same
global structures will then be used by the flow commands in testpmd when
the action mplsogre_encap, mplsogre_decap, will be parsed, at this
point, the conversion into such action becomes trivial.

Currenlty the encap/decap actions only support encapsulation
of VXLAN and NVGRE L2 packets (L2 encapsulation is where
the inner packet has a valid Ethernet header, while L3 encapsulation
is where the inner packet doesn't have the Ethernet header).
In addtion the parameter to to the encap action is a list of rte items,
this results in 2 extra translation, between the application to the
actioni and from the action to the NIC. This results in negative impact
on the insertion performance.
Looking forward there are going to be a need to support many more tunnel
encapsulations. For example MPLSoGRE, MPLSoUDP.
Adding the new encapsulation will result in duplication of code.
For example the code for handling NVGRE and VXLAN are exactly the same,
and each new tunnel will have the same exact structure.
This patch introduce a raw encapsulation that can support L2 tunnel types
and L3 tunnel types. In addtion the new
encapsulations commands are using raw buffer inorder to save the
converstion time, both for the application and the PMD.
In order to encapsulate L3 tunnel type there is a need to use both
actions in the same rule: The decap to remove the L2 of the original
packet, and then encap command to encapsulate the packet with the
tunnel.
For decap L3 there is also a need to use both commands in the same flow
first the decap command to remove the outer tunnel header and then encap
to add the L2 header.

As described in [1], a new rte_flow item is added to support metadata

The metadata is an opaque item, fully controlled by the application.
The use of metadata is relevant for egress rules only.
It can be set in the flow rule using the RTE_FLOW_ITEM_META.
An additional member 'tx_metadata' is added in union with existing member
'hash' of struct 'rte_mbuf', located to avoid conflicts with existing
fields. This additional member is used to carry the metadata item.
Application should set the packet metadata in the mbuf dedicated field,
and set the PKT_TX_METADATA flag in the mbuf->ol_flags.
The NIC will use the packet metadata as match criteria for relevant
flow rules.
This patch introduces metadata item type for rte_flow RTE_FLOW_ITEM_META,

After closing a port, it cannot be restarted.
So there is no reason to not free all associated resources.
The last step was done with rte_eth_dev_detach() which is deprecated.
Instead of blindly removing the associated rte_device, the driver should
check if no more port (ethdev, cryptodev, etc) is open for the device.
The last ethdev freeing which were done by rte_eth_dev_detach(),
are now done at the end of rte_eth_dev_close() if the driver supports
the flag RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE.
There will be a transition period for PMDs to enable this new flag
and migrate to the new behaviour.
When enabling RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE, the PMD must free all its
private resources for the port, in its dev_close function.
It is advised to call the dev_close function in the remove function
in order to support removing a device without closing its ports.
Some drivers does not allocate MAC addresses dynamically or separately.
In those cases, the pointer is set to NULL, in order to avoid wrongly
freeing them in rte_eth_dev_release_port().
A closed port will have the state RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED which is
considered as invalid by rte_eth_dev_is_valid_port().
So validity is not checked anymore for closed ports in testpmd.

Add lock-free read-write concurrency. This is achieved by the
following changes.
1) Add memory ordering to avoid race conditions. The only race
condition that can occur is - using the key store element
before the key write is completed. Hence, while inserting the element
the release memory order is used. Any other race condition is caught
by the key comparison. Memory orderings are added only where needed.
For ex: reads in the writer's context do not need memory ordering
as there is a single writer.
key_idx in the bucket entry and pdata in the key store element are
used for synchronisation. key_idx is used to release an inserted
entry in the bucket to the reader. Use of pdata for synchronisation
is required due to updation of an existing entry where-in only
the pdata is updated without updating key_idx.
2) Reader-writer concurrency issue, caused by moving the keys
to their alternative locations during key insert, is solved
by introducing a global counter(tbl_chng_cnt) indicating a
change in table.
3) Add the flag to enable reader-writer concurrency during
run time.

-P --config="(0,0,xx),(1,0,xx)" --empty-poll="0,0,0" -l 14 -m 9 -h 1
Please Reference l3fwd-power document for full parameter usage
The option "l", "m", "h" are used to set the power index for
LOW, MED, HIGH power state. Only is useful after enable empty-poll
--empty-poll="training_flag, med_threshold, high_threshold"
The option training_flag is used to enable/disable training mode.
The option med_threshold is used to indicate the empty poll threshold
of modest state which is customized by user.
The option high_threshold is used to indicate the empty poll threshold
of busy state which is customized by user.
Above three option default value is all 0.
Once enable empty-poll. System will apply the default parameter if no
other command line options are provided.
If training mode is enabled, the user should ensure that no traffic
is allowed to pass through the system. When training phase complete,
the application transfer to normal operation
System will start running with the modest power mode.
If the traffic goes above 70%, then system will move to High power state.
If the traffic drops below 30%, the system will fallback to the modest
power state.
Example code use master thread to monitoring worker thread busyness.
The default timer resolution is 10ms.

1. Abstract
For packet processing workloads such as DPDK polling is continuous.
This means CPU cores always show 100% busy independent of how much work
those cores are doing. It is critical to accurately determine how busy
a core is hugely important for the following reasons:
* No indication of overload conditions.
* User does not know how much real load is on a system, resulting
in wasted energy as no power management is utilized.
Compared to the original l3fwd-power design, instead of going to sleep
after detecting an empty poll, the new mechanism just lowers the core
frequency. As a result, the application does not stop polling the device,
which leads to improved handling of bursts of traffic.
When the system become busy, the empty poll mechanism can also increase the
core frequency (including turbo) to do best effort for intensive traffic.
This gives us more flexible and balanced traffic awareness over the
standard l3fwd-power application.
2. Proposed solution
The proposed solution focuses on how many times empty polls are executed.
The less the number of empty polls, means current core is busy with
processing workload, therefore, the higher frequency is needed. The high
empty poll number indicates the current core not doing any real work
therefore, we can lower the frequency to safe power.
In the current implementation, each core has 1 empty-poll counter which
assume 1 core is dedicated to 1 queue. This will need to be expanded in the
future to support multiple queues per core.
2.1 Power state definition:
LOW: Not currently used, reserved for future use.
MED: the frequency is used to process modest traffic workload.
HIGH: the frequency is used to process busy traffic workload.
2.2 There are two phases to establish the power management system:
a.Initialization/Training phase. The training phase is necessary
in order to figure out the system polling baseline numbers from
idle to busy. The highest poll count will be during idle, where
all polls are empty. These poll counts will be different between
systems due to the many possible processor micro-arch, cache
and device configurations, hence the training phase.
In the training phase, traffic is blocked so the training
algorithm can average the empty-poll numbers for the LOW, MED and
HIGH power states in order to create a baseline.
The core's counter are collected every 10ms, and the Training
phase will take 2 seconds.
Training is disabled as default configuration. The default
parameter is applied. Sample App still can trigger training
if that's needed. Once the training phase has been executed once on
a system, the application can then be started with the relevant
thresholds provided on the command line, allowing the application
to start passing start traffic immediately
b.Normal phase. Traffic starts immediately based on the default
thresholds, or based on the user supplied thresholds via the
command line parameters. The run-time poll counts are compared with
the baseline and the decision will be taken to move to MED power
state or HIGH power state. The counters are calculated every 10ms.
3. Proposed API
1. rte_power_empty_poll_stat_init(struct ep_params **eptr,
uint8_t *freq_tlb, struct ep_policy *policy);
which is used to initialize the power management system.
2. rte_power_empty_poll_stat_free(void);
which is used to free the resource hold by power management system.
3. rte_power_empty_poll_stat_update(unsigned int lcore_id);
which is used to update specific core empty poll counter, not thread safe
4. rte_power_poll_stat_update(unsigned int lcore_id, uint8_t nb_pkt);
which is used to update specific core valid poll counter, not thread safe
5. rte_power_empty_poll_stat_fetch(unsigned int lcore_id);
which is used to get specific core empty poll counter.
6. rte_power_poll_stat_fetch(unsigned int lcore_id);
which is used to get specific core valid poll counter.
7. rte_empty_poll_detection(struct rte_timer *tim, void *arg);
which is used to detect empty poll state changes then take action.

This is proposed in Bin Fan, et al's paper
"MemC3: Compact and Concurrent MemCache with Dumber Caching
and Smarter Hashing". Basically the idea is to use "xor" to
derive alternative bucket from current bucket index and
signature.
With "partial-key hashing", it reduces the bucket memory
requirement from two cache lines to one cache line, which
improves the memory efficiency and thus the lookup speed.

In use cases that hash table capacity needs to be guaranteed,

keys in linked lists when conflict happens. This is similar
concept to the extendable bucket hash table in packet
framework.
This commit adds the extendable bucket feature. User can turn
it on or off through the extra flag field during table
creation time.
Extendable bucket table composes of buckets that can be
linked list to current main table. When extendable bucket
is enabled, the hash table load can always achieve 100%.
In other words, the table can always accommodate the same
number of keys as the specified table size. This provides
100% table capacity guarantee.
Although keys ending up in the ext buckets may have longer
look up time, they should be rare due to the cuckoo
