The TAP keep-alive queue was created in order to keep the TAP device
in Linux even in case all of its Rx/Tx queues are released (in Linux
terminology: even in case all of the TAP device file descriptors are
closed), however, the keep-alive queue itself is attached to the TAP
device like all other Rx/Tx queues and therefore the kernel will
enqueue to it some Rx packets based on the kernel RSS distribution
rules. Those packets are unknown to the application and will remain
lost in the keep-alive queue.
All queues are attached by default to the TAP device after they are
created though TUNSETIFF ioctl call.
The fix is to detach the keep-alive queue after its creation through
TUNSETQUEUE ioctl call.

TAP device is created following its first queue creation. Multiple
queues can be added or removed over time. In Linux terminology those
are file descriptors which are opened or closed over time. As long as
the number of opened file descriptors is positive - TAP device will
appear as a Linux device. In case all queues are released (the
equivalent of all file descriptors being closed) the TAP device will
be removed. This can lead to abnormalities in different scenarios
where the TAP device should exist even if all its queues are released.
In order to make TAP existence independent of its number of queues -
an extra file descriptor is opened on TAP creation and is closed on
TAP closure. Its only purpose is to serve as a keep-alive mechanism
for the TAP device.

PMD: Kernel refused TC filter rule creation (17): File exists
Root cause analysis: when disabling flow isolation we keep the local
rule to redirect packets on TX (TAP_REMOTE_TX index) while we add it
again when enabling flow isolation. As a result this rule is added
two times in a row which results in "File exists" error.
The fix is to identify the "File exists" error and silently ignore it.
Another issue occurs when enabling isolation mode several times in a
row in which case the same tc rules are added consecutively and
rte_flow structs are added to a linked list before removing the
previous rte_flow structs.

TPID handling in rte_flow VLAN and E_TAG pattern item definitions is not
consistent with the normal stacking order of pattern items, which is
confusing to applications.
Problem is that when followed by one of these layers, the EtherType field
of the preceding layer keeps its "inner" definition, and the "outer" TPID
is provided by the subsequent layer, the reverse of how a packet looks like
on the wire:
Wire: [ ETH TPID = A | VLAN EtherType = B | B DATA ]
rte_flow: [ ETH EtherType = B | VLAN TPID = A | B DATA ]
Worse, when QinQ is involved, the stacking order of VLAN layers is
unspecified. It is unclear whether it should be reversed (innermost to
outermost) as well given TPID applies to the previous layer:
Wire: [ ETH TPID = A | VLAN TPID = B | VLAN EtherType = C | C DATA ]
rte_flow 1: [ ETH EtherType = C | VLAN TPID = B | VLAN TPID = A | C DATA ]
rte_flow 2: [ ETH EtherType = C | VLAN TPID = A | VLAN TPID = B | C DATA ]
While specifying EtherType/TPID is hopefully rarely necessary, the stacking
order in case of QinQ and the lack of documentation remain an issue.
This patch replaces TPID in the VLAN pattern item with an inner
EtherType/TPID as is usually done everywhere else (e.g. struct vlan_hdr),
clarifies documentation and updates all relevant code.
It breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_copy()
- rte_flow_create()

items:

matching is not and triggers an error.

RSS hash types (ETH_RSS_* macros defined in rte_ethdev.h) describe the
protocol header fields of a packet that must be taken into account while
computing RSS.
When facing encapsulated (e.g. tunneled) packets, there is an ambiguity as
to whether these should apply to inner or outer packets. Applications need
the ability to tell exactly "where" RSS must be performed.
This is addressed by adding encapsulation level information to the RSS flow
action. Its default value is 0 and stands for the usual unspecified
behavior. Other values provide a specific encapsulation level.
Contrary to the change announced by commit 676b605182 ("doc: announce
ethdev API change for RSS configuration"), this patch does not affect
struct rte_eth_rss_conf but struct rte_flow_action_rss as the former is not
used anymore by the RSS flow action. ABI impact is therefore limited to
rte_flow.

Since its inception, the rte_flow RSS action has been relying in part on
external struct rte_eth_rss_conf for compatibility with the legacy RSS API.
This structure lacks parameters such as the hash algorithm to use, and more
recently, a method to tell which layer RSS should be performed on [1].
Given struct rte_eth_rss_conf will never be flexible enough to represent a
complete RSS configuration (e.g. RETA table), this patch supersedes it by
extending the rte_flow RSS action directly.
A subsequent patch will add a field to use a non-default RSS hash
algorithm. To that end, a field named "types" replaces the field formerly
known as "rss_hf" and standing for "RSS hash functions" as it was
confusing. Actual RSS hash function types are defined by enum
rte_eth_hash_function.
This patch updates all PMDs and example applications accordingly.
It breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_copy()

This patch makes the following changes to flow rule actions:
- List order now matters, they are redefined as performed first to last
instead of "all simultaneously".
- Repeated actions are now supported (e.g. specifying QUEUE multiple times
now duplicates traffic among them). Previously only the last action of
any given kind was taken into account.
- No more distinction between terminating/non-terminating/meta actions.
Flow rules themselves are now defined as always terminating unless a
PASSTHRU action is specified.
These changes alter the behavior of flow rules in corner cases in order to
prepare the flow API for actions that modify traffic contents or properties
(e.g. encapsulation, compression) and for which order matter when combined.
Previously one would have to do so through multiple flow rules by combining
PASSTRHU with priority levels, however this proved overly complex to
implement at the PMD level, hence this simpler approach.
This breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_validate()
PMDs with rte_flow support are modified accordingly:
- bnxt: no change, implementation already forbids multiple actions and does
not support PASSTHRU.
- e1000: no change, same as bnxt.
- enic: modified to forbid redundant actions, no support for default drop.
- failsafe: no change needed.
- i40e: no change, implementation already forbids multiple actions.
- ixgbe: same as i40e.
- mlx4: modified to forbid multiple fate-deciding actions and drop when
unspecified.
- mlx5: same as mlx4, with other redundant actions also forbidden.
- sfc: same as mlx4.
- tap: implementation already complies with the new behavior except for
the default pass-through modified as a default drop.
