Since dynamic fields and flags were added in 19.11,
the idea was to use them for new features, not only PMD-specific.
The guideline is made more explicit in doxygen, in the mbuf guide,
and in the contribution design guidelines.
For more information about the original design, see the presentation
https://www.dpdk.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2019/10/DynamicMbuf.pdf
This decision was discussed in the Technical Board:

Specified pattern may be translated in different manner.
For example the pattern "eth / ipv4" can be translated to match
untagged packets only, since the pattern doesn't specify a VLAN item.
It can also be translated to match both tagged and untagged packets,
for the same reason.
This patch updates the rte_flow documentation to clearly specify the
required pattern to use.
For example:
To match tagged ipv4 packets, the pattern "eth / vlan / ipv4 / end"
should be used.
To match untagged ipv4 packets, the pattern "eth / ipv4 / end"
should be used.
To match all IPV4 packets, both tagged and untagged, need to apply
two rules with the patterns above.
To match both tagged and untagged packets of any type, the pattern
"eth / end" should be used.

One of the reasons to destroy a flow is the fact that no packet matches
the flow for "timeout" time.
For example, when TCP\UDP sessions are suddenly closed.
Currently, there is not any DPDK mechanism for flow aging and the
applications use their own ways to detect and destroy aged-out flows.
The flow aging implementation need include:
- A new rte_flow action: RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_AGE to set the timeout and
the application flow context for each flow.
- A new ethdev event: RTE_ETH_EVENT_FLOW_AGED for the driver to report
that there are new aged-out flows.
- A new rte_flow API: rte_flow_get_aged_flows to get the aged-out flows
contexts from the port.
- Support input flow aging command line in Testpmd.
The new event type addition in the enum is flagged as an ABI breakage,
so an ignore rule is added for these reasons:
- It is not changing value of existing types (except MAX)
- The new value is not used by existing API if the event is not
registered
In general, it is safe adding new ethdev event types at the end of the
enum, because of event callback registration mechanism.

So far, IOVA detection policy forced IOVA as PA when KNI is loaded,
whatever the buses IOVA requirements were.
We can now use IOVA as VA, but this comes with a cost in KNI.
When no constraint is expressed by the buses, keep the current behavior
of choosing PA.

The dynamic mbuf fields were introduced by [1]. The egress metadata is
good candidate to be moved from statically allocated field tx_metadata to
dynamic one. Because mbufs are used in half-duplex fashion only, it is
safe to share this dynamic field with ingress metadata.
The shared dynamic field contains either egress (if application going to
transmit mbuf with tx_burst) or ingress (if mbuf is received with rx_burst)
metadata and can be accessed by RTE_FLOW_DYNF_METADATA() macro or with
rte_flow_dynf_metadata_set() and rte_flow_dynf_metadata_get() helper
routines. PKT_TX_DYNF_METADATA/PKT_RX_DYNF_METADATA flag will be set
along with the data.
The mbuf dynamic field must be registered by calling
rte_flow_dynf_metadata_register() prior accessing the data.
The availability of dynamic mbuf metadata field can be checked with
rte_flow_dynf_metadata_avail() routine.
DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MATCH_METADATA offload and configuration flag is removed.
The metadata support in PMDs is engaged on dynamic field registration.
Metadata feature is getting complex. We might have some set of actions
and items that might be supported by PMDs in multiple combinations,
the supported values and masks are the subjects to query by perfroming
trials (with rte_flow_validate).

Currently, metadata can be set on egress path via mbuf tx_metadata field
with PKT_TX_METADATA flag and RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_META matches metadata.
This patch extends the metadata feature usability.
1) RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_META
When supporting multiple tables, Tx metadata can also be set by a rule and
matched by another rule. This new action allows metadata to be set as a
result of flow match.
2) Metadata on ingress
There's also need to support metadata on ingress. Metadata can be set by
SET_META action and matched by META item like Tx. The final value set by
the action will be delivered to application via metadata dynamic field of
mbuf which can be accessed by RTE_FLOW_DYNF_METADATA() macro or with
rte_flow_dynf_metadata_set() and rte_flow_dynf_metadata_get() helper
routines. PKT_RX_DYNF_METADATA flag will be set along with the data.
The mbuf dynamic field must be registered by calling
rte_flow_dynf_metadata_register() prior to use SET_META action.
The availability of dynamic mbuf metadata field can be checked
with rte_flow_dynf_metadata_avail() routine.
If application is going to engage the metadata feature it registers
the metadata dynamic fields, then PMD checks the metadata field
availability and handles the appropriate fields in datapath.
For loopback/hairpin packet, metadata set on Rx/Tx may or may not be
propagated to the other path depending on hardware capability.
MARK and METADATA look similar and might operate in similar way,
but not interacting.
Initially, there were proposed two metadata related actions:
- RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_FLAG
- RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_MARK
These actions set the special flag in the packet metadata, MARK action
stores some specified value in the metadata storage, and, on the packet
receiving PMD puts the flag and value to the mbuf and applications can
see the packet was threated inside flow engine according to the appropriate
RTE flow(s). MARK and FLAG are like some kind of gateway to transfer some
per-packet information from the flow engine to the application via
receiving datapath. Also, there is the item of type RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_MARK
provided. It allows us to extend the flow match pattern with the capability
to match the metadata values set by MARK/FLAG actions on other flows.
From the datapath point of view, the MARK and FLAG are related to the
receiving side only. It would useful to have the same gateway on the
transmitting side and there was the feature of type RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_META
was proposed. The application can fill the field in mbuf and this value
will be transferred to some field in the packet metadata inside the flow
engine. It did not matter whether these metadata fields are shared because
of MARK and META items belonged to different domains (receiving and
transmitting) and could be vendor-specific.
So far, so good, DPDK proposes some entities to control metadata inside
the flow engine and gateways to exchange these values on a per-packet basis
via datapaths.
As we can see, the MARK and META means are not symmetric, there is absent
action which would allow us to set META value on the transmitting path.
So, the action of type:
- RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_META was proposed.
The next, applications raise the new requirements for packet metadata.
The flow ngines are getting more complex, internal switches are introduced,
multiple ports might be supported within the same flow engine namespace.
From the DPDK points of view, it means the packets might be sent on one
eth_dev port and received on the other one, and the packet path inside
the flow engine entirely belongs to the same hardware device. The simplest
example is SR-IOV with PF, VFs and the representors. And there is a
brilliant opportunity to provide some out-of-band channel to transfer
some extra data from one port to another one, besides the packet data
itself. And applications would like to use this opportunity.
It is supposed for application to use trials (with rte_flow_validate)
to detect which metadata features (FLAG, MARK, META) actually supported
by PMD and underlying hardware. It might depend on PMD configuration,
system software, hardware settings, etc., and should be detected
in run time.

A tag is a transient data which can be used during flow match. This can be
used to store match result from a previous table so that the same pattern
need not be matched again on the next table. Even if outer header is
decapsulated on the previous match, the match result can be kept.
Some device expose internal registers of its flow processing pipeline and
those registers are quite useful for stateful connection tracking as it
keeps status of flow matching. Multiple tags are supported by specifying
index.
Example testpmd commands are:
flow create 0 ingress pattern ... / end

The rte_vhost_dequeue_burst supports two ways of dequeuing data.
If the data fits into a buffer, then all data is copied and a
single linear buffer is returned. Otherwise it allocates
additional mbufs and chains them together to return a multiple
segments mbuf.
While that covers most use cases, it forces applications that
need to work with larger data sizes to support multiple segments
mbufs. The non-linear characteristic brings complexity and
performance implications to the application.
To resolve the issue, add support to attach external buffer
to a pktmbuf and let the host provide during registration if
attaching an external buffer to pktmbuf is supported and if
only linear buffer are supported.

Replace rte_ipsec_sad_add(), rte_ipsec_sad_del() and
rte_ipsec_sad_lookup() stubs with actual implementation.
It uses three librte_hash tables each of which contains
an entries for a specific SA type (either it is addressed by SPI only
or SPI+DIP or SPI+DIP+SIP)

According to RFC 4301 IPSec implementation needs an inbound SA database
(SAD).
For each incoming inbound IPSec-protected packet (ESP or AH) it has to
perform a lookup within it's SAD.
Lookup should be performed by:
Security Parameters Index (SPI) + destination IP (DIP) + source IP (SIP)
or SPI + DIP
or SPI only
and an implementation has to return the 'longest' existing match.
This patch extend DPDK IPsec library with inbound security association
database (SAD) API implementation that:
- conforms to the RFC requirements above
- can scale up to millions of entries
- supports fast lookups
- supports incremental updates
