Work queues (WQs) are lower-level than standard queue pairs (QPs). They are
dedicated to one traffic direction and have to be used in conjunction with
indirection tables and special "hash" QPs to get the same level of
functionality.
These extra objects however are the building blocks for RSS support brought
by subsequent commits, as a single "hash" QP can manage several WQs through
an indirection table according to a hash algorithm and other parameters.

DPDK ensures that setup functions are never called on configured queues,
or only if they have previously been released.
PMDs therefore do not need to deal with the unexpected reconfiguration of
live queues which may fail with no easy way to recover. Dropping support
for this scenario greatly simplifies the code as allocation and setup steps
and checks can be merged.

Although their "removed" version acts as a safety against unexpected bursts
while queues are being modified by the control path, these callbacks are
set per device instead of per queue. It makes sense to update them during
start/stop/close cycles instead of queue setup.
As a side effect, this commit addresses a bug left over from a prior
commit: bringing the link down causes the "removed" Tx callback to be used,
however the normal callback is not restored when bringing it back up,
preventing the application from sending traffic at all.
Updating callbacks for a link change is not necessary as bringing the
netdevice down is normally enough to prevent traffic from flowing in.

This commit brings back VLAN filter configuration support without any
artificial limitation on the number of simultaneous VLANs that can be
configured (previously 127).
Also thanks to the fact it does not rely on fixed per-queue arrays for
potential Verbs flow handle storage anymore, this version wastes a lot less
memory (previously 128 * 127 * pointer size, i.e. 130 kiB per Rx queue,
only one of which actually had any use for this room: the RSS parent
queue).
The number of internal flow rules generated still depends on the number of
configured MAC addresses times that of configured VLAN filters though.

Since flow rule validation and creation have been refactored into a common
two-pass function, having separate callback functions to validate and
convert individual items seems redundant.
The purpose of these item validation functions is to reject partial masks
as those are not supported by hardware, before handing over the item to a
separate function that performs basic sanity checks.
The current approach and related code have the following issues:
- Lack of flow handle context in validation code requires kludges such as
the special treatment reserved to spec-less Ethernet pattern items.
- Lack of useful error reporting; users need as much help as possible to
understand what they did wrong, particularly when they hit hardware
limitations that aren't mentioned by the flow API. Preventing them from
going berserk after getting a generic "item not supported" message for no
apparent reason is mandatory.
- Generic checks should be performed by the caller, not by item-specific
validation functions.
- Mask checks either missing or too lax in some cases (Ethernet, VLAN).
This commit addresses all the above by combining validation and conversion
callbacks as "merge" callbacks that take an additional error context
parameter. Also:
- Support for source MAC address matching is removed as it has no effect.
- Providing an empty mask no longer bypasses the Ethernet specification
check that causes a rule to become promiscuous-like.
- VLAN VIDs must be matched exactly, as matching all VLAN traffic while
excluding non-VLAN traffic is not supported.

Since both internal and user-defined flow rules are handled by a common
implementation, flow rule priority overlaps are easier to detect. No need
to restrict their use to isolated mode only.
With this patch, only the lowest priority level remains inaccessible to
users outside isolated mode.
Also, the PMD no longer automatically assigns a fixed priority level to
user-defined flow rules, which means collisions between overlapping rules
matching a different number of protocol layers at a given priority level
won't be avoided anymore (e.g. "eth" vs. "eth / ipv4 / udp").
As a reminder, the outcome of overlapping rules for a given priority level
was, and still is, undefined territory according to API documentation.

Creating a flow rule targeting a missing (unconfigured) queue is not
possible. However, nothing really prevents the destruction of a queue with
existing flow rules still pointing at it, except currently the port must be
in a stopped state in order to avoid crashing.
Problem is that the port cannot be restarted if flow rules cannot be
re-applied due to missing queues. This flexibility will be needed by
subsequent work on this PMD.
Given that a PMD cannot decide on its own to remove problematic
user-defined flow rules in order to restart a port, work around this
restriction by making the affected ones drop-like, i.e. rules targeting
nonexistent queues drop packets instead.

All this can be simplified by relying directly on the internal rte_flow

without increasing its size (at least on 64-bit platforms).

These wrappers implement the ability to allocate room for several disparate
objects as a single contiguous allocation while complying with their
respective alignment constraints.
This is usually more efficient than allocating and freeing them
individually if they are not expected to be reallocated with rte_realloc().
A typical use case is when several objects that cannot be dissociated must
be allocated together, as shown in the following example:
struct b {
...
struct d *d;
}
struct a {
...
struct b *b;
struct c *c;
}
struct mlx4_malloc_vec vec[] = {
{ .size = sizeof(struct a), .addr = &ptr_a, },
{ .size = sizeof(struct b), .addr = &ptr_b, },
{ .size = sizeof(struct c), .addr = &ptr_c, },
{ .size = sizeof(struct d), .addr = &ptr_d, },
};
if (!mlx4_mallocv(NULL, vec, RTE_DIM(vec)))

a->b = ptr_b;
a->c = ptr_c;
a->b->d = ptr_d;

A race condition can happen during parallel builds, where a header
might be installed in RTE_OUT/include before CFLAGS is recursively
expanded. This causes GCC to sometimes pick the header path as
SRCDIR/... and sometimes as RTE_OUT/include/... making the build
unreproducible, as the full path is used for the expansion of
__FILE__ and in the DWARF directory listing.
Installing all symlinks before all builds solves the problem. It is
still suboptimal, as the (fixed) path recorded in the DWARF dir
listing will include the user-configurable build output directory,
and thus will result in a different binary between different users
despite all other conditions being equal, but it is a simpler
approach that will anyway be obsolete once the build system is
switched to Meson.
