The port ownership concept was introduced in ethdev in DPDK 18.02.
Not sure it is used by applications except those using failsafe or netvsc.
It can also be used by libraries or applications to sort out
how ports are controlled.
Hiding sub-ports controlled by failsafe or netvsc look to be enough

A new, faster, queue-based flow rules management mechanism is needed for
applications offloading rules inside the datapath. This asynchronous
and lockless mechanism frees the CPU for further packet processing and
reduces the performance impact of the flow rules creation/destruction
on the datapath. Note that queues are not thread-safe and the queue
should be accessed from the same thread for all queue operations.
It is the responsibility of the app to sync the queue functions in case
of multi-threaded access to the same queue.
The rte_flow_async_create() function enqueues a flow creation to the
requested queue. It benefits from already configured resources and sets
unique values on top of item and action templates. A flow rule is enqueued
on the specified flow queue and offloaded asynchronously to the hardware.
The function returns immediately to spare CPU for further packet
processing. The application must invoke the rte_flow_pull() function
to complete the flow rule operation offloading, to clear the queue, and to
receive the operation status. The rte_flow_async_destroy() function
enqueues a flow destruction to the requested queue.

Treating every single flow rule as a completely independent and separate
entity negatively impacts the flow rules insertion rate. Oftentimes in an
application, many flow rules share a common structure (the same item mask
and/or action list) so they can be grouped and classified together.
This knowledge may be used as a source of optimization by a PMD/HW.
The pattern template defines common matching fields (the item mask) without
values. The actions template holds a list of action types that will be used
together in the same rule. The specific values for items and actions will
be given only during the rule creation.
A table combines pattern and actions templates along with shared flow rule
attributes (group ID, priority and traffic direction). This way a PMD/HW
can prepare all the resources needed for efficient flow rules creation in
the datapath. To avoid any hiccups due to memory reallocation, the maximum
number of flow rules is defined at the table creation time.
The flow rule creation is done by selecting a table, a pattern template
and an actions template (which are bound to the table), and setting unique
values for the items and actions.

The flow rules creation/destruction at a large scale incurs a performance
penalty and may negatively impact the packet processing when used
as part of the datapath logic. This is mainly because software/hardware
resources are allocated and prepared during the flow rule creation.
In order to optimize the insertion rate, PMD may use some hints provided
by the application at the initialization phase. The rte_flow_configure()
function allows to pre-allocate all the needed resources beforehand.
These resources can be used at a later stage without costly allocations.
Every PMD may use only the subset of hints and ignore unused ones or
fail in case the requested configuration is not supported.
The rte_flow_info_get() is available to retrieve the information about
supported pre-configurable resources. Both these functions must be called
before any other usage of the flow API engine.

EAL malloc layer assumed all free elements content
is filled with zeros ("clean"), as opposed to uninitialized ("dirty").
This assumption was ensured in two ways:
1. EAL memalloc layer always returned clean memory.
2. Freed memory was cleared before returning into the heap.
Clearing the memory can be as slow as around 14 GiB/s.
To save doing so, memalloc layer is allowed to return dirty memory.
Such segments being marked with RTE_MEMSEG_FLAG_DIRTY.
The allocator tracks elements that contain dirty memory
using the new flag in the element header.
When clean memory is requested via rte_zmalloc*()
and the suitable element is dirty, it is cleared on allocation.
When memory is deallocated, the freed element is joined
with adjacent free elements, and the dirty flag is updated:
a) If the joint element contains dirty parts, it is dirty:
dirty + freed + dirty = dirty => no need to clean
freed + dirty = dirty the freed memory
Dirty parts may be large (e.g. initial allocation),
so clearing them could create unpredictable slowdown.
b) If the only dirty part of the joint element
is the freed memory, the joint element can be made clean:
clean + freed + clean = clean => freed memory
clean + freed = clean must be cleared
freed + clean = clean
freed = clean
This logic naturally reproduces the old behavior
and always applies in modes when EAL memalloc layer
returns only clean segments.
As a result, memory is either cleared on free, as before,
or it will be cleared on allocation if need be, but never twice.

The Kni kthreads seem to be re-scheduled at a granularity of roughly
1 millisecond right now, which seems to be insufficient for performing
tests involving a lot of control plane traffic.
Even if KNI_KTHREAD_RESCHEDULE_INTERVAL is set to 5 microseconds, it
seems that the existing code cannot reschedule at the desired granularily,
due to precision constraints of schedule_timeout_interruptible().
In our use case, we leverage the Linux Kernel for control plane, and
it is not uncommon to have 60K - 100K pps for some signaling protocols.
Since we are not in atomic context, the usleep_range() function seems to be
more appropriate for being able to introduce smaller controlled delays,
in the range of 5-10 microseconds. Upon reading the existing code, it would
seem that this was the original intent. Adding sub-millisecond delays,
seems unfeasible with a call to schedule_timeout_interruptible().
KNI_KTHREAD_RESCHEDULE_INTERVAL 5 /* us */
schedule_timeout_interruptible(
usecs_to_jiffies(KNI_KTHREAD_RESCHEDULE_INTERVAL));
Below, we attempted a brief comparison between the existing implementation,
which uses schedule_timeout_interruptible() and usleep_range().
We attempt to measure the CPU usage, and RTT between two Kni interfaces,
which are created on top of vmxnet3 adapters, connected by a vSwitch.

To enable bifurcated device support, rtnl_lock is released before calling
userspace callbacks and asynchronous requests are enabled.
But these changes caused more issues, like bug #809, #816. To reduce the
scope of the problems, the bifurcated device support related changes are
only enabled when it is requested explicitly with new 'enable_bifurcated'
module parameter.
And bifurcated device support is disabled by default.
So the bifurcated device related problems are isolated and they can be
fixed without impacting all use cases.

This library can be made optional.
drivers/gpu and app/test-gpudev depend on this library,
so they are automatically disabled if the lib is disabled.

In heterogeneous computing system, processing is not only in the CPU.
Some tasks can be delegated to devices working in parallel.
When mixing network activity with task processing there may be the need
to put in communication the CPU with the device in order to synchronize
operations.
An example could be a receive-and-process application
where CPU is responsible for receiving packets in multiple mbufs
and the GPU is responsible for processing the content of those packets.
The purpose of this list is to provide a buffer in CPU memory visible
from the GPU that can be treated as a circular buffer
to let the CPU provide fondamental info of received packets to the GPU.
A possible use-case is described below.
CPU:
- Trigger some task on the GPU
- in a loop:
- receive a number of packets
- provide packets info to the GPU
GPU:
- Do some pre-processing
- Wait to receive a new set of packet to be processed
Layout of a communication list would be:
-------
| 0 | => pkt_list
| status |
| #pkts |
-------
| 1 | => pkt_list
| status |
| #pkts |
-------
| 2 | => pkt_list
| status |
| #pkts |
-------
| .... | => pkt_list

to put in communication the CPU with the device in order to synchronize
operations.
The purpose of this flag is to allow the CPU and the GPU to
exchange ACKs. A possible use-case is described below.
CPU:
- Trigger some task on the GPU
- Prepare some data
- Signal to the GPU the data is ready updating the communication flag
GPU:
- Do some pre-processing
- Wait for more data from the CPU polling on the communication flag
- Consume the data prepared by the CPU

In heterogeneous computing system, processing is not only in the CPU.
Some tasks can be delegated to devices working in parallel.
Such workload distribution can be achieved by sharing some memory.
As a first step, the features are focused on memory management.
A function allows to allocate memory inside the device,
or in the main (CPU) memory while making it visible for the device.
This memory may be used to save packets or for synchronization data.
The next step should focus on GPU processing task control.
