It can be useful to use pcap files for some rudimental performance
testing. This patch enables this functionality in the pcap driver.
At a high level, this works by creating a ring of sufficient size to
store the packets in the pcap file passed to the application. When the
rx function for this mode is called, packets are dequeued from the ring
for use by the application and also enqueued back on to the ring to be
"received" again.
A tx_drop mode is also added since transmitting to a tx_pcap file isn't
desirable at a high traffic rate.
Jumbo frames are not supported in this mode. When filling the ring at rx
queue setup time, the presence of multi segment mbufs is checked for.
The PMD will exit on detection of these multi segment mbufs.

The number of debug files per PMD entity should be limited by a new PMD

The files will be created in the /var/log directory or in the current

To get the VF's link status by calling 'rte_eth_link_get_nowait()', the
VF not only check PF's physical link status, but also check the mailbox
running status. And mailbox checking will generate mailbox interrupt in
PF, it will be worse if many VFs are running in the system, the PF will
have to handle many interrrupts.
Normally, checking the PF's physical link status is enough for nowait.
For different scenarios, adding an 'pflink_fullchk' option to control
whether to check the link fully or not.

because registered memory is pinned by kernel driver. Even if a page in

a) rdma-core library should allocate device resources using DPDK's

b) UAR should be remapped for secondary processes. Currently, in order
not to use different data structure for secondary processes, PMD
tries to reserve identical virtual address space for both primary
and secondary processes.
c) IPC channel is necessary, which can be easily set with rte_mp APIs.
Through the channel, Verbs command FD is delivered to the secondary
process and the device stop/start event is also broadcast from

Rather than using linuxapp and bsdapp everywhere, we can change things to
use the, more readable, terms "linux" and "freebsd" in our build configs.
Rather than renaming the configs we can just duplicate the existing ones
with the new names using symlinks, and use the new names exclusively
internally. ["make showconfigs" also only shows the new names to keep the
list short] The result is that backward compatibility is kept fully but any
new builds or development can be done using the newer names, i.e. both
