31a7853d1e baseband/turbo_sw: support large size code block
This is to support cases when the input data for
decoding a code block is larger than 64kB and would
not fit as a contiguous block of data into one
mbuf. In that case the length from the operation
supersedes the mbuf default structure.

00f75a4057 net/mlx5: fix VLAN match for DV mode
Currently MLX5 PMD can't match on untagged packets specifically.
Tagged traffic still hits the flows intended for untagged packets.
If the flow has ETH, it will catch all matching packets, tagged
and untagged.
The solution is to use cvlan_tag bit.
If mask=1 and value=0 it matches on untagged traffic.
If mask=1 and value=1 it matches on tagged traffic.
This is the kernel implementation.

This patch updated MLX5 PMD to set cvlan_tag mask and value according
to flow rule contents.
This update is relevant when using DV flow engine (dv_flow_en=1).

See example at https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/mlx5.html#limitations.

Add a new driver to support vDPA operations by Mellanox devices.

The first Mellanox devices which support vDPA operations are
ConnectX-6 Dx and Bluefield1 HCA for their PF ports and VF ports.

This driver is depending on rdma-core like the mlx5 PMD, also it is
going to use mlx5 DevX to create HW objects directly by the FW.
Hence, the common/mlx5 library is linked to the mlx5_vdpa driver.

This driver will not be compiled by default due to the above
dependencies.

Register a new log type for this driver.

API makes think that rte_cryptodev_info_get() cannot return
a value >= 3 (RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_LIST_END in 19.11).
20.02-rc1 was returning 3 (RTE_CRYPTO_AEAD_CHACHA20_POLY1305).
So the ABI compatibility contract was broken.

It could be solved with some function versioning,
but because a lack of time, the feature is reverted for now.

This reverts following commits:
- 6c9f3b347e ("cryptodev: add Chacha20-Poly1305 AEAD algorithm")

eab2177671 net/hns3: support setting VF MAC address by PF driver
Currently, we only support VF device is bound to vfio_pci or igb_uio and
then driven by DPDK driver when PF is driven by kernel mode hns3 ethdev
driver, VF is not supported when PF is driven by hns3 DPDK driver.

This patch adds support setting VF MAC address by hns3 PF kernel ethdev
driver on the host by "ip link set ..." command.
1) If the hns3 PF kernel ethdev driver sets the MAC address for VF
   device before the initialization of the related VF device, hns3 VF
   PMD driver should get the MAC address from PF driver through mailbox
   and configure hardware using this MAC address in the initialization.
   The hns3 VF PMD driver get the MAC address form PF driver, if
   obtaining a non-zero MAC address from mailbox, VF driver will
   configure hardware using it, otherwise using a random MAC address in
   the initialization of VF device.
2) If the hns3 PF kernel ethdev driver sets the MAC address for VF
   device after the initialization of the related VF device, the PF
   driver will notify VF driver to reset VF device to make the new MAC
   address effective immediately. The hns3 VF PMD driver should check
   whether the MAC address has been changed by the PF kernel netdevice
   driver, if changed VF driver should configure hardware using the new
   MAC address in the recovering hardware configuration stage of the
   reset process.
3) When user has configured a mac address for VF device by "ip link set
   ..." command based on the PF device, the hns3 PF kernel ethdev driver
   does not allow VF driver to request reconfiguring a different default
   mac address and return -EPREM to VF driver through mailbox.
