ad20877a30 acl: remove classify methods count enum
Removal of unused enum value (RTE_ACL_CLASSIFY_NUM).
This enum value is not used inside DPDK, while it prevents
to add new classify algorithms without causing an ABI breakage.

Note that this change introduce a formal ABI incompatibility
with previous versions of ACL library.

b1df4163a8 doc: remove references to python 2
Python 2 support has now been dropped. Remove references to it in the
documentation.

Since all python scripts now have a proper shebang that calls python3,
execute the scripts directly without specifying the interpreter.

Sphinx version from most Linux distros is OK in 2020, do not encourage
people to break their system by installing with pip. Use the distros
official packages.

cacf8267cc vhost: remove dequeue zero-copy support
Dequeue zero-copy removal was announced in DPDK v20.08.
This feature brings constraints which makes the maintenance
of the Vhost library difficult. Its limitations makes it also
difficult to use by the applications (Tx vring starvation).

Removing it makes it easier to add new features, and also remove
some code in the hot path, which should bring a performance
improvement for the standard path.

fbd1913561 ethdev: remove old close behaviour
The temporary flag RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE is removed.
It was introduced in DPDK 18.11 in order to give time for PMDs to migrate.

The old behaviour was to free only queues when closing a port.
The new behaviour is calling rte_eth_dev_release_port() which does
three more tasks:
	- trigger event callback
	- reset state and few pointers
	- free all generic port resources

The private port resources must be released in the .dev_close callback.

The .remove callback should:
	- call .dev_close callback
	- call rte_eth_dev_release_port()
	- free multi-port device shared resources

Despite waiting two years, some drivers have not migrated,
so they may hit issues with the incompatible new behaviour.
After sending emails, adding logs, and announcing the deprecation,
the only last solution is to declare these drivers as unmaintained:
	ionic, liquidio, nfp
Below is a summary of what to implement in those drivers.

* The freeing of private port resources must be moved
from the ".remove(device)" function to the ".dev_close(port)" function.

* If a generic resource (.mac_addrs or .hash_mac_addrs) cannot be freed,
it must be set to NULL in ".dev_close" function to protect from
subsequent rte_eth_dev_release_port() freeing.

* Note 1:
The generic resources are freed in rte_eth_dev_release_port(),
after ".dev_close" is called in rte_eth_dev_close(), but not when
calling ".dev_close" directly from the ".remove" PMD function.
That's why rte_eth_dev_release_port() must still be called explicitly
from ".remove(device)" after calling the ".dev_close" PMD function.

* Note 2:
If a device can have multiple ports, the common resources must be freed
only in the ".remove(device)" function.

* Note 3:
The port is supposed to be in a stopped state when it is closed.
If it is not the case, it is free to the PMD implementation
how to react when trying to close a non-stopped port:
either try to stop it automatically or just return an error.

Since we have '__rte_internal' tag available now, marking internal

e1ece60956 pci: move resource mapping to the PCI bus
As reported during 20.08 work for Windows, the pci_map_resource API was
built with the assumption that its flags would be passed to mmap().

This introduced a regression when adding the rte_mem_map API as reported
in the workaround commit 9d2b245937 ("pci: keep API compatibility with
mmap values").

This API was only used in the PCI bus code, so move it there.

There is no code change happening during the move.
The only change is in the pci_map_resource description where the
additional flags are now documented as rte_mem_map API flags:
- *      The additional flags for the mapping range.
+ *      The additional rte_mem_map() flags for the mapping range.

b176cb32b5 doc: announce ethdev API change for Rx split
The DPDK datapath in the transmit direction is very flexible.
The applications can build multi-segment packets and manages
almost all data aspects - the memory pools where segments
are allocated from, the segment lengths, the memory attributes
like external, registered, etc.

In the receiving direction, the datapath is much less flexible,
the applications can only specify the memory pool to configure
the receiving queue and nothing more. The packet being received
can only be pushed to the chain of the mbufs of the same data
buffer size and allocated from the same pool. In order to extend
the receiving datapath buffer description it is proposed to add
the new fields into rte_eth_rxconf structure:

struct rte_eth_rxconf {
    ...
    uint16_t rx_split_num; /* number of segments to split */
    uint16_t *rx_split_len; /* array of segment lengths */
    struct rte_mempool **mp; /* array of segment memory pools */
    ...
};

The non-zero value of rx_split_num field configures the receiving
queue to split ingress packets into multiple segments to the mbufs
allocated from various memory pools according to the specified
lengths. The zero value of rx_split_num field provides the
backward compatibility and queue should be configured in a regular
way (with single/multiple mbufs of the same data buffer length
allocated from the single memory pool).

The new approach would allow splitting the ingress packets into
multiple parts pushed to the memory with different attributes.
For example, the packet headers can be pushed to the embedded data
buffers within mbufs and the application data into the external
buffers attached to mbufs allocated from the different memory
pools. The memory attributes for the split parts may differ
either - for example the application data may be pushed into
the external memory located on the dedicated physical device,
say GPU or NVMe. This would improve the DPDK receiving datapath
flexibility preserving compatibility with existing API.

The proposed extended description of receiving buffers might be
considered by other vendors to be involved into similar features
support, it is the subject for the further discussion.

for session and session private data. So the application need to create
mempool for twice the number of sessions needed and will also lead to

Hence the API will be modified to take two mempool pointers - one for session

41e94ba227 doc: announce deprecation of port mirroring API
A new API is planned to be introduced for sampling and mirroring
with rte_flow. It should be more generic and allow more use cases.

This deprecation is to show the direction, avoiding overlapping APIs.

The functions for L2 tunnel were missed when marking the legacy
filtering API as deprecated. That's why a separate notice is done
to make clear that it will be removed as well in DPDK 20.11.

which is replaced with rte_flow.

7efbaa7b4e doc: announce ethdev port freeing on close operation
Since DPDK 18.11, some drivers are migrating to a new behaviour,
releasing port resources on close.
The temporary flag RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE triggers this new mode
in the migrated drivers.
After 2 years, the flag and the old behaviour will be removed.
Last drivers not migrated will have to complete the switch.

67c28d4b77 doc: announce mbuf layout change
In order to prepare for adding more features requiring more space in mbuf,
some static fields must become dynamic.
Some small layout changes may have performance benefits as well.

The deprecation notice for atomic refcount is moved and reworded
to fit below the layout deprecation.

2c8d102161 doc: announce PCI resources map API removal
The PCI resources map API (pci_map_resource/pci_unmap_resource) was
imposing use of Unix mmap flags while it does not make sense on Windows.
This API was only used to internally setup PCI devices in the PCI bus
driver and has no known external users.

Announce its removal in 20.11 with its associated structures.

The workaround implemented in the commit 9d2b245937 ("pci: keep API
compatibility with mmap values") will be removed at the same time.
