Since rdma-core glue libraries are intrinsically tied to their respective
PMDs and used as internal plug-ins, their presence in the default search
path among other system libraries for the dynamic linker is not necessarily
desired.
This commit enables their installation and subsequent look-up at run time
in RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH if configured to a nonempty string. This path can also
be overridden by environment variables MLX[45]_GLUE_PATH.

When mlx5 is not compiled directly as an independent shared object (e.g.
CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB not enabled for performance reasons), DPDK
applications inherit its dependencies on libibverbs and libmlx5 through
rte.app.mk.
This is an issue both when DPDK is delivered as a binary package (Linux
distributions) and for end users because rdma-core then propagates as a
mandatory dependency for everything.
Application writers relying on binary DPDK packages are not necessarily
aware of this fact and may end up delivering packages with broken
dependencies.
This patch therefore introduces an intermediate internal plug-in
hard-linked with rdma-core (to preserve symbol versioning) loaded by the
PMD through dlopen(), so that a missing rdma-core does not cause unresolved
symbols, allowing applications to start normally.

Removed the hardcoded preconfigured Rx VLAN offload configuration
from testpmd and changed the Rx offload command line parameters from
disable to enable.
It has been decided by the Technical Board that testers who wish to
use these offloads will now have to explicitly write them in the
command-line when running testpmd.
The agreement is to keep two exceptions enabled by default in 18.02:
Rx CRC strip and Tx fast free.
Motivation:
Some PMDs such at the mlx4 may not implement all the offloads.
After the offload API rework assuming no offload is enabled by default,
commit ce17eddefc ("ethdev: introduce Rx queue offloads API")
commit cba7f53b71 ("ethdev: introduce Tx queue offloads API") trying
to enable a not supported offload is clearly an error which will cause
configuration failing.
Considering that testpmd is an application to test the PMD, it should
not fail on a configuration which was not explicitly requested.
The behavior of this test application is then turned to an opt-in
model.

This patch is the last patch in the series of patches aimed
to add support for registering and waiting for Rx interrupts
in failsafe PMD. This allows applications to wait for Rx events
from the PMD using the DPDK rte_epoll subsystem.
The failsafe PMD presents to the application a facade of a single
device to be handled by the application while internally it manages
several devices on behalf of the application including packets
transmission and reception.
The Proposed failsafe Rx interrupt scheme follows this approach.
The failsafe PMD will present the application with a single set of
Rx interrupt vectors representing the failsafe Rx queues, while
internally it will serve as an interrupt proxy for its subdevices.
will allow applications to wait for Rx traffic from the failsafe
PMD by registering and waiting for Rx events from its Rx queues.
In order to support this the following is suggested:
* Every Rx queue in the failsafe (virtual) device will be assigned
* a Linux event file descriptor (efd) and an enable_interrupts flag.
* The failsafe PMD will fill in its rte_intr_handle structure with
the Rx efds assigned previously and register them with the EAL.
* The failsafe driver will create a private epoll fd (epfd) and
* will allocate enough space to handle all the Rx events from all its
subdevices.
* Acting as an application,
for each Rx queue in each active subdevice the failsafe will:
o Register the Rx queue with the EAL.
o Pass the EAL the failsafe private epoll fd as the epfd to
register the Rx queue event on.
o Pass the EAL, as a parameter, the pointer to the failsafe Rx
queue that handles this Rx queue.
o Using the DPDK service callbacks, the failsafe PMD will launch
an Rx proxy service that will Wait on the epoll fd for Rx
events from the sub-devices.
o For each Rx event received the proxy service will
- Retrieve the pointer to failsafe Rx queue that handles
this subdevice Rx queue from the user info returned by the
EAL.
- Trigger a failsafe Rx event on that queue by writing to
the event fd unless interrupts are disabled for that queue.
* The failsafe pmd will also implement the rx_queue_intr_enable
* and rx_queue_intr_disable routines that will enable and disable Rx
interrupts respectively on both on the failsafe and its subdevices.

As described in more details in the attached documentation (see patch
contents), this virtual device driver manages NetVSC interfaces in virtual
machines hosted by Hyper-V/Azure platforms.
This driver does not manage traffic nor Ethernet devices directly; it acts
as a thin configuration layer that automatically instantiates and controls
fail-safe PMD instances combining tap and PCI sub-devices, so that each
NetVSC interface is exposed as a single consolidated port to DPDK
applications.
PCI sub-devices being hot-pluggable (e.g. during VM migration),
applications automatically benefit from increased throughput when present
and automatic fallback on NetVSC otherwise without interruption thanks to
fail-safe's hot-plug handling.
Once initialized, the sole job of the vdev_netvsc driver is to regularly
scan for PCI devices to associate with NetVSC interfaces and feed their
addresses to corresponding fail-safe instances.

This commit support the new Tx offloads API.
The code which fills in txq_flags in default_txconf is preserved
because rte_eth_dev_info_get() lacks conversion between offloads
and txq_flags fields which means that a legacy application which
relies on default_txconf will fail to configure Tx queues in the
case when some bits in txq_flags are mandatory.
