Introduce a new function rte_mempool_populate_virt() that is now called
by default when hugepages are not supported. This function populate the
mempool with several physically contiguous chunks whose minimum size is
the page size of the system.
Thanks to this, rte_mempool_create() will work properly in without
hugepages (if the object size is smaller than a page size), and 2
specific workarouds can be removed:
- trailer_size was artificially extended to a page size
- rte_mempool_virt2phy() did not rely on object physical address

Introduce rte_mempool_populate_default() which allocates
mempool objects in several memzones.
The mempool header is now always allocated in a specific memzone
(not with its objects). Thanks to this modification, we can remove
many specific behavior that was required when hugepages are not
enabled in case we are using rte_mempool_xmem_create().
This change requires to update how kni and mellanox drivers lookup for
mbuf memory. For now, this will only work if there is only one memory
chunk (like today), but we could make use of rte_mempool_mem_iter() to
support more memory chunks.
We can also remove RTE_MEMPOOL_OBJ_NAME that is not required anymore for
the lookup, as memory chunks are referenced by the mempool.
Note that rte_mempool_create() is still broken (it was the case before)
when there is no hugepages support (rte_mempool_create_xmem() has to be
used). This is fixed in next commit.

Now that the mempool objects are chained into a list, we can use it to
browse them. This implies a rework of rte_mempool_obj_iter() API, that
does not need to take as many arguments as before. The previous function
is kept as a private function, and renamed in this commit. It will be
removed in a next commit of the patch series.
The only internal users of this function are the mellanox drivers. The
code is updated accordingly.
Introducing an API compatibility for this function has been considered,
but it is not easy to do without keeping the old code, as the previous
function could also be used to browse elements that were not added in a
mempool. Moreover, the API is already be broken by other patches in this

In next commits, we will use an iterator to walk through the objects in
mempool in rte_mempool_audit(). This iterator takes a "struct
rte_mempool *" as a parameter because it is assumed that the callback
function can modify the mempool.
The previous approach was to introduce a RTE_DECONST() macro, but
after discussion it seems that removing the const qualifier is better
to avoid fooling the compiler, and also because these functions are
not used in datapath (possible compiler optimizations due to const
are not critical).

This commit removes the const qualifier for the mempool in
rte_mempool_walk() callback prototype.
Indeed, most functions that can be done on a mempool require a non-const

rte_mempool_walk() to iterate the mempools, then rte_mempool_obj_iter()
to iterate the objects in each mempool.

The macro RTE_VERIFY always checks a condition.
It is optimized with "unlikely" hint.
While this macro is well suited for test applications, it is preferred
in libraries and examples to enable such check in debug mode.
That's why the macro RTE_ASSERT is introduced to call RTE_VERIFY only
if built with debug logs enabled.
A lot of assert macros were duplicated and enabled with a specific flag.
Removing these #ifdef allows to test these code branches more easily

Since the data structures such as rings are shared in their entirety,
those TAILQ pointers are shared as well. Meaning that, after a
successful rte_ring creation, the tailq_next pointer of the last
ring in the TAILQ will be updated with a pointer to a ring which may
not be present in the address space of another process (i.e. a ring
that may be host-local or guest-local, and not shared over IVSHMEM).
Any successive ring create/lookup on the other side of IVSHMEM will
result in trying to dereference an invalid pointer.
This patchset fixes this problem by creating a default tailq entry
that may be used by any data structure that chooses to use TAILQs.
This default TAILQ entry will consist of a tailq_next/tailq_prev
pointers, and an opaque pointer to arbitrary data. All TAILQ
pointers from data structures themselves will be removed and
replaced by those generic TAILQ entries, thus fixing the problem
of potentially exposing local address space to shared structures.
Technically, only rte_ring structure require modification, because
IVSHMEM is only using memzones (which aren't in TAILQs) and rings,
but for consistency's sake other TAILQ-based data structures were
adapted as well.

The second condition of this logical OR:
(get_gcd(new_obj_size, nrank * nchan) != 1 ||
get_gcd(nchan, new_obj_size) != 1)
is redundant with the first condition.
We can show that the first condition is equivalent to its disjunction
with the second condition using these two results:
- R1: For all conditions A and B, if B implies A, then (A || B) is
equivalent to A.
- R2: (get_gcd(nchan, new_obj_size) != 1) implies
(get_gcd(new_obj_size, nrank * nchan) != 1)
We can show R1 with the following truth table (0 is false, 1 is true):
+-----+-----++----------+-----+-------------+
| A | B || (A || B) | A | B implies A |
+-----+-----++----------+-----+-------------+
| 0 | 0 || 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 || 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 || 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 || 1 | 1 | 1 |
+-----+-----++----------+-----+-------------+
Truth table of (A || B) and A
We can show R2 by looking at the code of optimize_object_size and
get_gcd.
We see that:
- S1: (nchan >= 1) and (nrank >= 1).
- S2: get_gcd returns 0 only when both arguments are 0.
Let:
- X be get_gcd(new_obj_size, nrank * nchan).
- Y be get_gcd(nchan, new_obj_size).
Suppose:
- H1: get_gcd returns the greatest common divisor of its arguments.
- H2: (nrank * nchan) does not exceed UINT_MAX.
We prove (Y != 1) implies (X != 1) with the following steps:
- Suppose L0: (Y != 1). We have to show (X != 1).
- By H1, Y is the greatest common divisor of nchan and new_obj_size.
In particular, we have L1: Y divides nchan and new_obj_size.
- By H2, we have L2: nchan divides (nrank * nchan)
- By L1 and L2, we have L3: Y divides (nrank * nchan) and
new_obj_size.
- By H1 and L3, we have L4: (Y <= X).
- By S1 and S2, we have L5: (Y != 0).
- By L0 and L5, we have L6: (Y > 1).
- By L4 and L6, we have (X > 1) and thus (X != 1), which concludes.
R2 was also tested for all values of new_obj_size, nrank, and nchan
between 0 and 2000.
This redundant condition was found using TrustInSoft Analyzer.
