fb8fd96d42 ethdev: add shared counter to flow API
Add rte_flow_action_count action data structure to enable shared
counters across multiple flows on a single port or across multiple
flows on multiple ports within the same switch domain. Also this enables
multiple count actions to be specified in a single flow action.

This patch also modifies the existing rte_flow_query API to take the
rte_flow_action structure as an input parameter instead of the
rte_flow_action_type enumeration to allow querying a specific action
from a flow rule when multiple actions of the same type are specified.

This patch also contains updates for the bonding, failsafe and mlx5 PMDs
and testpmd application which are affected by this API change.

fc6bbb3f28 ethdev: add port ID item and action to flow API
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_PORT_ID brings the ability to inject matching traffic
into a different device, as identified by its DPDK port ID.

This is normally only supported when the target port ID has some kind of
relationship with the port ID the flow rule is created against, such as
being exposed by a common physical device (e.g. a different port of an
Ethernet switch).

The converse pattern item, RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_PORT_ID, makes the resulting
flow rule match traffic whose origin is the specified port ID. Note that
specifying a port ID that differs from the one the flow rule is created
against is normally meaningless (if even accepted), but can make sense if
combined with the transfer attribute.

These must not be confused with their PHY_PORT counterparts, which refer to
physical ports using device-specific indices, but unlike PORT_ID are not
necessarily tied to DPDK port IDs.

This breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:

- rte_flow_copy()
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_query()
- rte_flow_validate()

0730ab674c ethdev: fix default VLAN TCI mask in flow API
VLAN TCI is a 16-bit field broken down as PCP (3b), DEI (1b) and VID (12b).

The default mask used by PMDs for the VLAN pattern when one isn't provided
by the application comprises the entire TCI, which is problematic because
most devices only support VID matching.

This forces applications to always provide a mask limited to the VID part
in order to successfully apply a flow rule with a VLAN pattern item.
Moreover, applications rarely want to match PCP and DEI intentionally.

Given the above and since VID is what is commonly referred to when talking
about VLAN, this commit excludes PCP and DEI from the default mask.

e58638c324 ethdev: fix TPID handling in flow API
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.

18aee2861a ethdev: add encap level to RSS flow API action
RSS hash types (ETH_RSS_* macros defined in rte_ethdev.h) describe the
protocol header fields of a packet that must be taken into account while
computing RSS.

When facing encapsulated (e.g. tunneled) packets, there is an ambiguity as
to whether these should apply to inner or outer packets. Applications need
the ability to tell exactly "where" RSS must be performed.

This is addressed by adding encapsulation level information to the RSS flow
action. Its default value is 0 and stands for the usual unspecified
behavior. Other values provide a specific encapsulation level.

Contrary to the change announced by commit 676b605182a5 ("doc: announce
ethdev API change for RSS configuration"), this patch does not affect
struct rte_eth_rss_conf but struct rte_flow_action_rss as the former is not
used anymore by the RSS flow action. ABI impact is therefore limited to
rte_flow.

This breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:

- rte_flow_copy()
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_query()
- rte_flow_validate()

ac8d22de23 ethdev: flatten RSS configuration in flow API
Since its inception, the rte_flow RSS action has been relying in part on
external struct rte_eth_rss_conf for compatibility with the legacy RSS API.
This structure lacks parameters such as the hash algorithm to use, and more
recently, a method to tell which layer RSS should be performed on [1].

Given struct rte_eth_rss_conf will never be flexible enough to represent a
complete RSS configuration (e.g. RETA table), this patch supersedes it by
extending the rte_flow RSS action directly.

A subsequent patch will add a field to use a non-default RSS hash
algorithm. To that end, a field named "types" replaces the field formerly
known as "rss_hf" and standing for "RSS hash functions" as it was
confusing. Actual RSS hash function types are defined by enum
rte_eth_hash_function.

This patch updates all PMDs and example applications accordingly.

It breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:

- rte_flow_copy()
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_query()
- rte_flow_validate()

cc17feb904 ethdev: alter behavior of flow API actions
This patch makes the following changes to flow rule actions:

- List order now matters, they are redefined as performed first to last
  instead of "all simultaneously".

- Repeated actions are now supported (e.g. specifying QUEUE multiple times
  now duplicates traffic among them). Previously only the last action of
  any given kind was taken into account.

- No more distinction between terminating/non-terminating/meta actions.
  Flow rules themselves are now defined as always terminating unless a
  PASSTHRU action is specified.

These changes alter the behavior of flow rules in corner cases in order to
prepare the flow API for actions that modify traffic contents or properties
(e.g. encapsulation, compression) and for which order matter when combined.

Previously one would have to do so through multiple flow rules by combining
PASSTRHU with priority levels, however this proved overly complex to
implement at the PMD level, hence this simpler approach.

This breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:

- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_validate()

PMDs with rte_flow support are modified accordingly:

- bnxt: no change, implementation already forbids multiple actions and does
  not support PASSTHRU.

- e1000: no change, same as bnxt.

- enic: modified to forbid redundant actions, no support for default drop.

- failsafe: no change needed.

- i40e: no change, implementation already forbids multiple actions.

- ixgbe: same as i40e.

- mlx4: modified to forbid multiple fate-deciding actions and drop when
  unspecified.

- mlx5: same as mlx4, with other redundant actions also forbidden.

- sfc: same as mlx4.

- tap: implementation already complies with the new behavior except for
  the default pass-through modified as a default drop.

- It has never been updated to track the latest changes in the legacy
  filter types and never will.

- Many provided examples are theoretical and misleading since PMDs do not

- Upcoming work on the flow API will alter the behavior of several pattern

This is for device that support fuzzy match option.
Usually a fuzzy match is fast but the cost is accuracy.
i.e. Signature Match only match pattern's hash value, but it is
possible that two different patterns have the same hash value.

Matching accuracy level can be configured by subfield threshold.
Driver can divide the range of threshold and map to different
accuracy levels that device support.

323f811a4a ethdev: add isolated mode to flow API
Isolated mode can be requested by applications on individual ports to avoid
ingress traffic outside of the flow rules they define.

Besides making ingress more deterministic, it allows PMDs to safely reuse
resources otherwise assigned to handle the remaining traffic, such as
global RSS configuration settings, VLAN filters, MAC address entries,
legacy filter API rules and so on in order to expand the set of possible
flow rule types.

To minimize code complexity, PMDs implementing this mode may provide
partial (or even no) support for flow rules when not enabled (e.g. no
priorities, no RSS action). Applications written to use the flow API are
therefore encouraged to enable it.

Once effective, leaving isolated mode may not be possible depending on PMD
implementation.

e4840ef268 ethdev: fix incomplete items in flow API
E-Tag and NVGRE pattern items have been added hastily without updating
documentation nor testpmd.

This commit also adds default masks for these items based on the ixgbe
implementation.

cadcbef097 doc: fix flow validate comments
Change comments for rte_flow_validate() function to indicate that flow
rule collision and resource validation is optional for PMDs and
therefore the return codes may have different meanings.

6de5c0f130 ethdev: define default item masks in flow API
Leaving default pattern item mask values up for interpretation by PMDs is
an undefined behavior that applications might find difficult to use in the
wild. It also needlessly complicates PMD implementation.

This commit addresses this by defining consistent default masks for each
item type.

f4e7c8bc84 ethdev: clarify RSS action in flow API
Contrary to the current description, mbuf RSS hash result storage does not
overlap with the returned MARK value (hash.fdir.lo vs. hash.fdir.hi), and
both may be combined.

Reflect this change by allowing testpmd to display both values
simultaneously.

ebaa064e2c ethdev: clarify MARK and FLAG actions in flow API
Both actions share the PKT_RX_FDIR mbuf flag, as a result there is no way
to tell them apart. Moreover, the maximum allowed value for the MARK action
may not necessarily cover the entire 32-bit space.
