ec7f71577f ethdev: add Rx offload outer UDP checksum definition
Introduced DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_OUTER_UDP_CKSUM Rx offload flag and
PKT_RX_OUTER_L4_CKSUM_* mbuf ol_flags to detect outer UDP checksum
status.

- To use hardware Rx outer UDP checksum offload, the user needs to
configure DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_OUTER_UDP_CKSUM offload flags in slowpath.

- Driver updates checksum status in mbuf ol_flag as
PKT_RX_OUTER_L4_CKSUM_* flags.

8287597059 ethdev: add flow action to swap MAC addresses
This action is useful for offloading loopback mode, where the hardware
will swap source and destination MAC addresses in the outermost Ethernet
header before looping back the packet. This action can be used in
conjunction with other rewrite actions to achieve MAC layer transparent
NAT where the MAC addresses are swapped before either the source or
destination MAC address is rewritten and NAT is performed.

Must be used with a valid RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_ETH flow pattern item.
Otherwise, RTE_FLOW_ERROR_TYPE_ACTION error should be returned by the
PMDs.

8a6ff33d6d net/enic: add AVX2 based vectorized Rx handler
Add the vectorized version of the no-scatter Rx handler. It aims to
process 8 descriptors per loop using AVX2 SIMD instructions. This
handler is in its own file enic_rxtx_vec_avx2.c, and makefile and
meson.build are modified to compile it when the compiler supports
AVX2. Under ideal conditions, the vectorized handler reduces
cycles/packet by more than 30%, when compared against the no-scatter
Rx handler. Most implementation ideas come from i40e's AVX2 based
handler, so credit goes to its authors.

At this point, the new handler is meant for field trials, and is not
selected by default. So add a new devarg enable-avx2-rx to allow the
user to request the use of the new handler. When enable-avx2-rx=1, the
driver will consider using the new handler.

Also update the guide doc and introduce the vectorized handler.

063911ee1d ethdev: add flow API object converter
rte_flow_copy() is bound to duplicate flow rule descriptions
(attributes, pattern and list of actions, all at once), however
applications sometimes need more flexibility, for instance the ability
to duplicate only one of the underlying objects (a single pattern item
or action) or retrieve other properties such as their names.

Instead of adding dedicated functions to handle each possible use case,
this patch introduces rte_flow_conv(), which supports any number of
object conversion operations in an extensible manner.

This patch re-implements rte_flow_copy() as a wrapper to
rte_flow_conv().

It will make possible to remove a rte_device,
using the function pointer from its bus.

DPDK memory, or anonymous memory. This patch will add two new
methods to allocate mempool using external memory (regular or
hugepage memory), and add documentation about it to testpmd

It adds a new flag "--mp-alloc", with four possible values:
native (use regular DPDK allocator), anon (use anonymous
mempool), xmem (use externally allocated memory area), and
xmemhuge (use externally allocated hugepage memory area). Old
flag "--mp-anon" is kept for compatibility.

All external memory is allocated using the same external heap,
but each will allocate and add a new memory area.

5282bb1c36 mem: allow memseg lists to be marked as external
When we allocate and use DPDK memory, we need to be able to
differentiate between DPDK hugepage segments and segments that
were made part of DPDK but are externally allocated. Add such
a property to memseg lists.

This breaks the ABI, so document the change in release notes.
This also breaks a few internal assumptions about memory
contiguousness, so adjust malloc code in a few places.

All current calls for memseg walk functions were adjusted to
ignore external segments where it made sense.

Mempools is a special case, because we may be asked to allocate
a mempool on a specific socket, and we need to ignore all page
sizes on other heaps or other sockets. Previously, this
assumption of knowing all page sizes was not a problem, but it
will be now, so we have to match socket ID with page size when
calculating minimum page size for a mempool.

Fix this by storing these flags in the shared config as well, so
that secondary process can know if the primary was launched in
single-file segments or legacy mem mode.

This bumps the EAL ABI, however there's an EAL deprecation notice
already in place[1] for a different feature, so that's OK.

c9bf83947e eventdev: add eth Tx adapter APIs
The ethernet Tx adapter abstracts the transmit stage of an
event driven packet processing application. The transmit
stage may be implemented with eventdev PMD support or use a
rte_service function implemented in the adapter. These APIs
provide a common configuration and control interface and
an transmit API for the eventdev PMD implementation.

The transmit port is specified using mbuf::port. The transmit
queue is specified using the rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_txq_set()
function.

e04ec42af0 net/mvpp2: align with MUSDK 18.09
This patch introduces necessary changes required by MUSDK 18.09 library.

* As of MUSDK 18.09, pp2_cookie_t is no longer available. Now
  RX descriptor cookie is defined as plain u64 so existing cast
  is no longer valid.

* MUSDK 18.09 increased number of available bpools (buffer hw pools) by
  introducing dma regions support. Update mvpp2 driver accordingly.

* replace MV_NET_IP4_F_TOS with MV_NET_IP4_F_DSCP

  Before this patch, API allowed to configure a classification rule
  according to IPv4 TOS, which was not supported in classifier. This patch
  fixes this by using proper field.

* use 48 bit address mask

  We cannot get pointers exceeding 48 bits thus using 48 bit
  mask for extracting higher IOVA address bits is enough.

c11f654042 net/i40e: add option to use latest vector path
For IA, the AVX2 vector path is only recommended to be used on later
platforms (identified by AVX512 support, like SKL etc.) This is because
performance benchmark shows downgrade when running AVX2 vector path on
early platform (BDW/HSW) in some cases. But we still observe perf gain
with some real work loading.

So this patch introduced the new devarg use-latest-supported-vec to
force the driver always selecting the latest supported vec path. Then
apps are able to take AVX2 path on early platforms. And this logic can
be re-used if we will have AVX512 vec path in future.

This patch only affects IA platforms. The selected vec path would be
like the following:
  Without devarg/devarg = 0:
  Machine	vPMD
  AVX512F	AVX2
  AVX2	SSE4.2
  SSE4.2	SSE4.2
  <SSE4.2	Not Supported

  With devarg = 1
  Machine	vPMD
  AVX512F	AVX2
  AVX2	AVX2
  SSE4.2	SSE4.2
  <SSE4.2	Not Supported

Other platforms can also apply the same logic if necessary in future.

dc7680e859 net/netvsc: support integrated VF
Integrate accelerated networking support into netvsc PMD.
This allows netvsc to manage VF without using failsafe or vdev_netvsc.
For the exception vswitch path some tests like transmit
get a 22% increase in packets/sec.
For the VF path, the code is slightly shorter but has no
real change in performance.

Pro:
   * using netvsc is more like other DPDK NIC's
   * the exception packet uses less CPU
   * much smaller code size
   * no locking required on VF transmit/receive path
   * no legacy Linux network device to get mangled by userspace
   * much simpler (1K vs 9K) LOC
   * unified extended statistics

Con:
   * using netvsc has more complex startup model
   * no bifurcated driver support
   * no flow support (since host does not have flow API).
   * no tunnel offload support
   * no receive interrupt support

Hence, disabling the feature by default for this specific NIC.
Users can still enable this feature and enjoy the performance gain
(mostly for low number of cores) by using the txq_mpw_en devarg.

This patch will impact the out of the box performance of some application
using ConnectX-4 Lx for the sack of security and robustness.

Since we need different defaults based on the underlying device the mpw

The patch changes rx_burst profiling approach:

	2. empty hook callback for profiling is added
This way all VTune-specific logic moves to the VTune side.
Hook is enabled only when CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_WITH_VTUNE option

d16623dd39 net/enic: revert mbuf fast free offload
This reverts the patch that enabled mbuf fast free.

There are two main reasons.

First, enic_fast_free_wq_bufs is broken. When
DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE is enabled, the driver calls this
function to free transmitted mbufs. This function currently does not
reset next and nb_segs. This is simply wrong as the fast-free flag
does not imply anything about next and nb_segs.

We could fix enic_fast_free_wq_bufs by making it to call
rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg to reset the required fields. But, it negates
most of cycle saving.

Second, there are customer applications that blindly enable all Tx
offloads supported by the device. Some of these applications do not
satisfy the requirements of mbuf fast free (i.e. a single pool per
queue and refcnt = 1), and end up crashing or behaving badly.

20b71e92ef net/mlx5: lay groundwork for switch offloads
With mlx5, unlike normal flow rules implemented through Verbs for traffic
emitted and received by the application, those targeting different logical
ports of the device (VF representors for instance) are offloaded at the
switch level and must be configured through Netlink (TC interface).

This patch adds preliminary support to manage such flow rules through the
flow API (rte_flow).

Instead of rewriting tons of Netlink helpers and as previously suggested by
Stephen [1], this patch introduces a new dependency to libmnl [2]
(LGPL-2.1) when compiling mlx5.

as quoted from the mlx5 PRM:
QP and CQ DoorBells require 64-bit writes. For best performance, it
is recommended to execute the QP/CQ DoorBell as a single 64-bit write
operation. For platforms that do not support 64 bit writes, it is
possible to issue the 64 bits DoorBells through two consecutive
writes,
each write 32 bits, as described below:
* The order of writing each of the Dwords is from lower to upper
  addresses.
* No other DoorBell can be rung (or even start ringing) in the midst
 of an on-going write of a DoorBell over a given UAR page.

The last rule implies that in a multi-threaded environment, the access
to a UAR page (which can be accessible by all threads in the process)
must be synchronized (for example, using a semaphore) unless an atomic
write of 64 bits in a single bus operation is guaranteed. Such a
synchronization is not required for when ringing DoorBells on different
UAR pages.

6de569f5ec net/mlx5: add parameter for port representors
Prior to this patch, all port representors detected on a given device were
probed and Ethernet devices instantiated for each of them.

This patch adds support for the standard "representor" parameter, which
implies that port representors are not probed by default anymore, except
for the list provided through device arguments.

e4348122a4 eal: add option to limit memory allocation on sockets
Previously, it was possible to limit maximum amount of memory
allowed for allocation by creating validator callbacks. Although a
powerful tool, it's a bit of a hassle and requires modifying the
application for it to work with DPDK example applications.

Fix this by adding a new parameter "--socket-limit", with syntax
similar to "--socket-mem", which would set per-socket memory
allocation limits, and set up a default validator callback to deny
all allocations above the limit.

This option is incompatible with legacy mode, as validator callbacks
are not supported there.

db10602b76 cryptodev: add min headroom and tailroom requirement
Enabling crypto devs to specify the minimum headroom and tailroom it
expects in the mbuf. For net PMDs, standard headroom has to be honoured
by applications, which is not strictly followed for crypto devs. This
prevents crypto devs from using free space in mbuf (available as
head/tailroom) for internal requirements in crypto operations. Addition
of head/tailroom requirement will help PMDs to communicate such
requirements to the application.

The availability and use of head/tailroom is an optimization if the
hardware supports use of head/tailroom for crypto-op info. For devices
that do not support using the head/tailroom, they can continue to operate
without any performance-drop.

rte_cryptodev_sym_session_set_private_data()
rte_cryptodev_sym_session_get_private_data()
It refers to data added at the end of the session hdr for

The session already contains sess_private_data[index]

data refer to that.
e.g. external apis
rte_cryptodev_sym_get_private_session_size() and internal

The transition bits are now removed:
	- Translation of the old API in ethdev
	- rte_eth_conf.rxmode.ignore_offload_bitfield
	- ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE

The old API bits are now removed:

e39c2756e2 net/enic: add devarg to specify ingress VLAN rewrite mode
Add a new devarg "ig-vlan-rewrite" to allow the user to set
non-default rewrite mode. The UCS VIC may add/remove/modify the VLAN
header of an ingress packet depending on the ingress VLAN rewrite
mode.

By default, the driver sets the pass-through mode, which tells the NIC
"do not touch VLAN header and preserve it as is". This mode is usually
sufficient, but can complicate deployments for certain environments.
For example, OVS-DPDK in UCS blade environments may want to use "untag
default VLAN mode", which removes the VLAN header from an ingress
packet if it matches vNIC's default VLAN.

For i40evf, internal rx interrupt and adminq interrupt share the same

on rx path. This is complained by customers which require low latency
(when set I40E_ITR_INTERVAL to small value), but have to be sufferred by
tremendous interrupts handling that eat significant CPU resources.

The patch disable pci interrupt and remove the interrupt handler,
replace it with a low frequency (50ms) interrupt polling daemon
which is implemented by registering a alarm callback periodly, this
save CPU time significently: On a typical x86 server with 2.1GHz CPU,
with low latency configure (32us) we saw CPU usage from top commmand
reduced from 20% to 0% on management core in testpmd).

Also with the new method we can remove compile option: I40E_ITR_INTERVAL
which is used to balance between low latency and low CPU usage previously.
Now we don't need it since we can reach both at same time.

70815c9eca ethdev: add new offload flag to keep CRC
DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC offload flag is added. PMDs that support
keeping CRC should advertise this offload capability.

DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP flag will remain one more release
default behavior in PMDs are to keep the CRC until this flag removed

Until DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP flag is removed:
- Setting both KEEP_CRC & CRC_STRIP is INVALID
- Setting only CRC_STRIP PMD should strip the CRC
- Setting only KEEP_CRC PMD should keep the CRC
- Not setting both PMD should keep the CRC

A helper function rte_eth_dev_is_keep_crc() has been added to be able to
change the no flag behavior with minimal changes in PMDs.

The PMDs that doesn't report the DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC offload can
remove rte_eth_dev_is_keep_crc() checks next release, related code
commented to help the maintenance task.

And DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP has been added to virtual drivers since

8b8141dc26 net/ixgbe: add tuned Rx/Tx parameters
The optimal values of several transmission & reception related

of queues, varies between different network interface devices. This
patch adds the values for the ixgbe PMD.

1787eb7b4d net/mlx5: use stride index in Rx completion entry
Multi-Packet Receive Queue is to receive multiple packets on a single large
buffer. The number of consumed strides in CQE is accumulated to keep track
of the current stride index. However, it is safer to directly use stride
index in CQE to avoid out-of-order situation which can possibly be caused
by introducing LRO in the future.

If Rx CQE compression is enabled, HW can be configured to store the stride
index in a mini-CQE but this will need newer version of library/driver.
Therefore, since this change, MPRQ is only supported with the newer
library/driver and Rx hash result is not supported if MPRQ is enabled along
with Rx CQE compression.

and underlying device's supported filter capability checks.

Currently add support for:
<item>: IPv4, IPv6, TCP, and UDP.
<action>: Drop, Queue, and Count.

Also add sanity checks to ensure filters are created at specified
index in LE-TCAM region. The index in LE-TCAM region indicates
the filter rule's priority with index 0 having the highest priority.
If no index is specified, filters are created at closest available
free index.
