DPDK firmware variant supports equal stride super-buffer Rx mode which
provides higher packet rate and packet marks but requires dedicated
mempool manager with contiguous object block allocation (e.g. bucket).
Also the firmware supports subvariant without checksumming on Tx which
allows to reach higher packet rates on transmit if checksumming is not
required.

corresponding representor port for each VF can be enabled in the
process in which the ixgbe PMD is running within, by specifying the

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()
- rte_flow_query()
- rte_flow_validate()
Summary of changes for PMDs that implement ETH, VLAN or E_TAG pattern
items:
- bnxt: EtherType matching is supported with and without VLAN, but TPID
matching is not and triggers an error.
- e1000: EtherType matching is only supported with the ETHERTYPE filter,
which does not support VLAN matching, therefore no impact.
- enic: same as bnxt.
- i40e: same as bnxt with existing FDIR limitations on allowed EtherType
values. The remaining filter types (VXLAN, NVGRE, QINQ) do not support
EtherType matching.
- ixgbe: same as e1000, with additional minor change to rely on the new
E-Tag macro definition.
- mlx4: EtherType/TPID matching is not supported, no impact.
- mlx5: same as bnxt.
- mvpp2: same as bnxt.
- sfc: same as bnxt.
- tap: same as bnxt.

If the netvsc driver starts in blacklist mode, it does not
automatically probe IP associated netvsc devices. Therefore, the only
way to probe them is to specify them by the EAL command line, using the
"force" parameter to skip the IP check in the driver.
>From now on, the user does not need to add the "force" parameter if he
specifies an IP associated netvsc device by the EAL command line, and the
responsibility of the IP check is now in the user's hands.
However, in the absence of any specification, the driver still skips IP
associated netvsc devices.

Recent NIC models support overlay offload. The overlay offload
feature enables the following on the NIC.
- Rx/Tx checksum offloads for both inner and outer packets.
- Rx inner packet type classification.
- TSO.
- Inner RSS.
TX descriptors do not require any changes, except the header length
for TSO. The NIC parses outer/inner packets and performs offloads on
them as necessary. The header length for tunneled TSO includes both
inner and outer headers.
The NIC actually parses and performs the above for NVGRE as well. DPDK
currently has no offload flags for NVGRE, and the hardware has no
controls to individually enable tunnel types either. So do nothing for
now.
The driver enables overlay offload by default. Add a devargs
'disable-overlay=<0|1>' to allow the app to disable it.
Also update the enic guide doc.

Regular expressions are not the best way to match a hierarchical
pattern like dynamic log levels. And the separator for dynamic
log levels is period which is the regex wildcard character.
A better solution is to use filename matching 'globbing' so
that log levels match like file paths. For compatibility,
use colon to separate pattern match style arguments. For
example:
--log-level 'pmd.net.virtio.*:debug'
This also makes the documentation match what really happens
internally.

NFB cards employ multiple Ethernet ports.
Until now, Ethernet port-related operations were performed on all of them
(since the whole card was represented as a single port).
With new NFB-200G2QL card, this is no longer viable.
Since there is no fixed mapping between the queues and Ethernet ports,
and since a single card can be represented as two ports in DPDK,
there is no way of telling which (if any) physical ports should be
associated with individual ports in DPDK.
This is also described in documentation in more detail.
