5b4efcc6b9 ethdev: expose flow API error helper
rte_flow_error_set() is a convenient helper to initialize error objects.

Since there is no fundamental reason to prevent applications from using it,
expose it through the public interface after modifying its return value
from positive to negative. This is done for consistency with the rest of
the public interface.

Documentation is updated accordingly.

96dfeb609b app/crypto-perf: add new PMD benchmarking mode
This patch adds a new benchmarking mode, which is intended for
microbenchmarking individual parts of the cryptodev framework,
specifically crypto ops alloc-build-free, cryptodev PMD enqueue
and cryptodev PMD dequeue.

It works by first benchmarking crypto operation alloc-build-free
loop (no enqueues/dequeues happening), and then benchmarking
enqueue and dequeue separately, by first completely filling up the
TX queue, and then completely draining the RX queue.

Results are shown as cycle counts per alloc/build/free, PMD enqueue
and PMD dequeue.

One new test mode is added: "pmd-cyclecount"
  (called with --ptest=pmd-cyclecount)

New command-line argument is also added:
  --pmd-cyclecount-delay-ms: this is a pmd-cyclecount-specific parameter
      that controls the delay between enqueue and dequeue. This is
      useful for benchmarking hardware acceleration, as hardware may
      not be able to keep up with enqueued packets. This parameter
      can be increased if there are large amounts of dequeue
      retries.

82982e1766 crypto/qat: enable Tx tail writes coalescing
Don't write CSR tail until we processed enough TX descriptors.

To avoid crypto operations sitting in the TX ring indefinitely,
the "force write" threshold is used:
 - on TX, no tail write coalescing will occur if number of inflights
   is below force write threshold
 - on RX, check if we have a number of crypto ops enqueued that is
   below force write threshold that are not yet submitted to
   processing.

According to commands from command line, it will call i40e

d5b0924ba6 ethdev: add return value to stats get dev op
The stats_get dev op API doesn't include return value, so PMD cannot
return an error in case of failure at stats getting process time.

Since PCI devices can be removed and there is a time between the
physical removal to the RMV interrupt, the user may get invalid stats
without any indication.

This patch changes the stats_get API return value to be int instead of
void.

All the net PMDs stats_get dev ops are adjusted by this patch.

5b590fbe09 app/testpmd: add traffic management forwarding mode
This commit extends the testpmd application with new forwarding engine
that demonstrates the use of ethdev traffic management APIs and softnic
PMD for QoS traffic management.

In this mode, 5-level hierarchical tree of the QoS scheduler is built
with the help of ethdev TM APIs such as shaper profile add/delete,
shared shaper add/update, node add/delete, hierarchy commit, etc.
The hierarchical tree has following nodes; root node(x1, level 0),
subport node(x1, level 1), pipe node(x4096, level 2),
tc node(x16348, level 3), queue node(x65536, level 4).

During runtime, each received packet is first classified by mapping the
packet fields information to 5-tuples (HQoS subport, pipe, traffic class,
queue within traffic class, and color) and storing it in the packet mbuf
sched field. After classification, each packet is sent to softnic port
which prioritizes the transmission of the received packets, and
accordingly sends them on to the output interface.

To enable traffic management mode, following testpmd command is used;

$ ./testpmd -c c -n 4 --vdev
	'net_softnic0,hard_name=0000:06:00.1,soft_tm=on' -- -i
	--forward-mode=tm

GSO support is disabled by default.

GSO support may be toggled on a per-port basis, using the command:

        "set port <port_id> gso on|off"

The maximum packet length (including the packet header and payload) for
GSO segments may be set with the command:

        "set gso segsz <length>"

Show GSO configuration for a given port with the command:

	"show port <port_id> gso"

70e737e448 gso: support GRE GSO
This patch adds GSO support for GRE-tunneled packets. Supported GRE
packets must contain an outer IPv4 header, and inner TCP/IPv4 headers.
They may also contain a single VLAN tag. GRE GSO doesn't check if all
input packets have correct checksums and doesn't update checksums for
output packets. Additionally, it doesn't process IP fragmented packets.

As with VxLAN GSO, GRE GSO uses a two-segment MBUF to organize each
output packet, which requires multi-segment mbuf support in the TX
functions of the NIC driver. Also, if a packet is GSOed, GRE GSO reduces
its MBUF refcnt by 1. As a result, when all of its GSOed segments are
freed, the packet is freed automatically.

b058d92ea9 gso: support VxLAN GSO
This patch adds a framework that allows GSO on tunneled packets.
Furthermore, it leverages that framework to provide GSO support for
VxLAN-encapsulated packets.

Supported VxLAN packets must have an outer IPv4 header (prepended by an
optional VLAN tag), and contain an inner TCP/IPv4 packet (with an optional
inner VLAN tag).

VxLAN GSO doesn't check if input packets have correct checksums and
doesn't update checksums for output packets. Additionally, it doesn't
process IP fragmented packets.

As with TCP/IPv4 GSO, VxLAN GSO uses a two-segment MBUF to organize each
output packet, which mandates support for multi-segment mbufs in the TX
functions of the NIC driver. Also, if a packet is GSOed, VxLAN GSO
reduces its MBUF refcnt by 1. As a result, when all of its GSO'd segments
are freed, the packet is freed automatically.

119583797b gso: support TCP/IPv4 GSO
This patch adds GSO support for TCP/IPv4 packets. Supported packets
may include a single VLAN tag. TCP/IPv4 GSO doesn't check if input
packets have correct checksums, and doesn't update checksums for
output packets (the responsibility for this lies with the application).
Additionally, TCP/IPv4 GSO doesn't process IP fragmented packets.

TCP/IPv4 GSO uses two chained MBUFs, one direct MBUF and one indrect
MBUF, to organize an output packet. Note that we refer to these two
chained MBUFs as a two-segment MBUF. The direct MBUF stores the packet
header, while the indirect mbuf simply points to a location within the
original packet's payload. Consequently, use of the GSO library requires
multi-segment MBUF support in the TX functions of the NIC driver.

If a packet is GSO'd, TCP/IPv4 GSO reduces its MBUF refcnt by 1. As a
result, when all of its GSOed segments are freed, the packet is freed
automatically.

ec51443cc9 gso: add Generic Segmentation Offload API framework
Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) is a SW technique to split large
packets into small ones. Akin to TSO, GSO enables applications to
operate on large packets, thus reducing per-packet processing overhead.

To enable more flexibility to applications, DPDK GSO is implemented
as a standalone library. Applications explicitly use the GSO library
to segment packets. To segment a packet requires two steps. The first
is to set proper flags to mbuf->ol_flags, where the flags are the same
as that of TSO. The second is to call the segmentation API,
rte_gso_segment(). This patch introduces the GSO API framework to DPDK.

rte_gso_segment() splits an input packet into small ones in each
invocation. The GSO library refers to these small packets generated
by rte_gso_segment() as GSO segments. Each of the newly-created GSO
segments is organized as a two-segment MBUF, where the first segment is a
standard MBUF, which stores a copy of packet header, and the second is an
indirect MBUF which points to a section of data in the input packet.
rte_gso_segment() reduces the refcnt of the input packet by 1. Therefore,
when all GSO segments are freed, the input packet is freed automatically.
Additionally, since each GSO segment has multiple MBUFs (i.e. 2 MBUFs),
the driver of the interface which the GSO segments are sent to should
support to transmit multi-segment packets.

The GSO framework clears the PKT_TX_TCP_SEG flag for both the input
packet, and all produced GSO segments in the event of success, since
segmentation in hardware is no longer required at that point.

b7091f1dcf app/testpmd: enable the heavyweight mode TCP/IPv4 GRO
The GRO library provides two modes to reassemble packets. Currently, the
csum forwarding engine has supported to use the lightweight mode to
reassemble TCP/IPv4 packets. This patch introduces the heavyweight mode
for TCP/IPv4 GRO in the csum forwarding engine.

With the command "set port <port_id> gro on|off", users can enable
TCP/IPv4 GRO for a given port. With the command "set gro flush <cycles>",
users can determine when the GROed TCP/IPv4 packets are flushed from
reassembly tables. With the command "show port <port_id> gro", users can
display GRO configuration.

The GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for merged packets. If
users want the merged packets to have correct IP and TCP checksums,
please select HW IP checksum calculation and HW TCP checksum calculation
for the port which the merged packets are transmitted to.

efba12a78d vhost: add user callbacks for socket open/close
Added new callbacks to notify about socket connection status.
As destroy_device is used for virtqueue processing *pause* as well as
connection close, the user has no distinction between those.

Consider the following scenario:
rte_vhost: received SET_VRING_BASE message,
           calling destroy_device() as usual

user:  end-user asks to remove the device (together with socket file),
       OK, device is not *in use* - that's NOT the behavior we want
       calling rte_vhost_driver_unregister() etc.

Instead of changing new_device/destroy_device callbacks and breaking
the ABI, a set of new functions new_connection/destroy_connection
has been added.

offloads can be set only on queue configuration.

In addition the Tx offloads will be disabled by default and be
enabled per application needs. This will much simplify PMD management of
the different offloads.

Applications should set the ETH_TXQ_FLAGS_IGNORE flag on txq_flags

  2. Mellanox OFED is Mellanox's Linux user-space package.(Proprietary)
The difference between the two are the APIs towards the kernel.

Support for x86-32 is removed due to issues in rdma-core library.
ICC compilation will be supported as soon as the following patch is
integrated in rdma-core:

883ce1724b net/mlx5: enforce Tx num of segments limitation
Mellanox NICs has a limitation on the number of mbuf segments a multi
segment mbuf can have. The max number depends on the Tx offloads
requested.

The current code not enforce such limitation, which might cause
malformed work requests to be written to the device.

This commit adds verification for the number of mbuf segments posted
to the device. In case of overflow the packet will not be sent.

In addition update the nic documentation with the limitation.
Considering device limitation is 63 data segments in a work request, the
maximum number of segment in mbuf was calculated taking TSO as the worst
case:

max_nb_segs = 63 - (control_segment + ethernet segment +
		    TSO headers inline + inline segment +
		    extra inline to align to cacheline)

A new feature is required for describing the firmware upload

updated soon in another patch.

SRIOV is not supported by the PF yet, and it is wrong to include it
as a VF driver feature, so none of the files have such a feature.

5dce9fcdb2 ethdev: support vtune task tracing
The patch simplifies DPDK applications analysis for developers which use
Intel® VTune Amplifier.

The empty cycles are such iterations that yielded no RX packets. As far as
DPDK is running in poll mode, wasting cycles is equal to wasting CPU time.
Tracing such iterations can identify that device is underutilized. Tracing
empty cycles becomes even more critical if a system uses a lot of Ethernet
ports.

The patch gives possibility to analyze empty cycles without changing
application code. All needs to be done is just to reconfigure and rebuild
the DPDK itself with CONFIG_RTE_ETHDEV_PROFILE_ITT_WASTED_RX_ITERATIONS
enbled. The important thing here is that this does not affect DPDK code.
The profiling code is not being compiled if user does not specify config
flag.

The patch provides common way to inject RX queues profiling and VTune
specific implementation.

to appear like the function was running, however it was in
reality deadlocked.

This commit refactors the atomic handling to be more readable,
by splitting the implementation code into a new static inline
function. The remaining flow control of atomics in the existing
function is refactored for readability.

514302ff6e ethdev: add NIC reset operation
This patch adds a new eth_dev layer API function rte_eth_dev_reset(),
which a DPDK application can call to reset a NIC and keep its port id
afterwards. It means that all software resources allocated in the ethdev
layer are kept, and software & hardware resources of the NIC within the
NIC's PMD are reset to a state simular to that obtained by calling the
PCI dev_uninit() and then dev_init(). This effective sequence of
dev_uninit() and dev_init() is packed into a single API function
rte_eth_dev_reset().

Please see the comments before the declaration of rte_eht_dev_reset()
in lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.h to get more details on why this
function is needed, what it does, when it should be called
and what an application should do after calling this function.

caa570db61 doc: announce change to make DPDK IOVA aware
When we run DPDK on guest or VFIO mode on host,
the dpdk library or device will not be directly accessing
the physical address. Instead, the device does go through
an IO address translation memory management unit. On x86,
we call it as IOMMU and on ARM as SMMU.

More details:
http://osidays.com/osidays/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Final_OSI2014_IOMMU_DetailedView_Sanil_Anurup.pdf

Based on discussion in the following thread
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-July/070850.html

We would like to change reference to physical address to more
appropriate name as with IOMMU/SMMU with
the device won't be dealing directly with the physical address.

An ABI change is planned for 17.11 to change following
data structure or functions to more appropriate name.
Currently planned to change it iova as instead of phys

Please note: The change will be only for the name and
functional aspects of the API will remain same.

Following functions/data structures name may change.
This list is based on v17.05-rc1. It may change based on v17.11 code base.

typedef:
phys_addr_t

structures:

struct rte_memseg::phys_addr
struct rte_mbuf::buf_physaddr

functions:
rte_mempool_populate_phys()
rte_mempool_populate_phys_tab()
rte_eal_using_phys_addrs()
rte_mem_virt2phy()
rte_dump_physmem_layout()
rte_eal_get_physmem_layout()

Hence, failsafe PMD was aborted, only in debug mode, when
it tries to remove the device in plug-out process.

The workaround added option to replace all claim_zero
assertions with debugging messages, by the way, this option
affects non ibv destroy assertions.

f9ef083c6c doc: add author on cc to git fixline alias
With this commit, the correct method to use git fixline to indicate
a fix of a previous commit has changed. The new rules require the
author of the original code that is being fixed to be on CC.

The logic behind this improvement is that if there is a genuine bug,
one of the ideal people to review is the author of the original code
being fixed. Adding them on Cc makes them aware of the patch, avoiding
it from being passed by accidentally while reading the mailing-list.

Given that the original author (now on Cc:) might not actually review,
there is no value in keeping the Cc: in git commit history. If the
original author performs a review, their Reviewed-by: or Acked-by: is
stored in git history (same as now).

f51606537a crypto/qat: fix handle device-agnostic session
Older generations of QuickAssist hardware
may not support all algorithms supported by newer
generations. When sessions were specific to the device
this only needed to be handled on session creation.
With device-agnostic sessions, a session created
for a newer device may get routed to an older device which
can't support it.
This patch adds an enum to define QAT device generations
and uses this to detect and handle the above case on the
data path.
It also renames the capabilities structures and #defines
to match the generation names and adds the generation
to the device table in the documentation.

9333cfba3b cryptodev: fix KASUMI F9 expected parameters
For KASUMI F9 algorithm, COUNT, FRESH and DIRECTION
input values need to be contiguous with
the message, as described in the KASUMI and QAT PMD
documentation.

Before, the COUNT and FRESH values were set
as part of the AAD (now IV), but always set before
the beginning of the message.
Since now the IV is set after the crypto operation,
it is not possible to have these values in the
expected location.

Therefore, as these are required to be contiguous,
cryptodev API will expect these them to be passed
as a single buffer, already constructed, so
authentication IV parameters not needed anymore.

Introducing the DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE TX capability flag.
if a PMD advertises DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE capable, multiple threads
can invoke rte_eth_tx_burst() concurrently on the same tx queue without
SW lock. This PMD feature will be useful in the following use cases and
found in the OCTEON family of NPUs.

1) Remove explicit spinlock in some applications where lcores
to TX queues are not mapped 1:1.
example: OVS has such instance
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L299
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L1859
See the the usage of tx_lock spinlock.

2) In the eventdev use case, avoid dedicating a separate TX core for
transmitting and thus enables more scaling as all workers can
send the packets.

0d2cbe59b7 lib/gro: support TCP/IPv4
In this patch, we introduce five APIs to support TCP/IPv4 GRO.
- gro_tcp4_reassemble: reassemble an inputted TCP/IPv4 packet.
- gro_tcp4_tbl_create: create a TCP/IPv4 reassembly table, which is used
    to merge packets.
- gro_tcp4_tbl_destroy: free memory space of a TCP/IPv4 reassembly table.
- gro_tcp4_tbl_pkt_count: return the number of packets in a TCP/IPv4
    reassembly table.
- gro_tcp4_tbl_timeout_flush: flush timeout packets from a TCP/IPv4
    reassembly table.

TCP/IPv4 GRO API assumes all inputted packets are with correct IPv4
and TCP checksums. And TCP/IPv4 GRO API doesn't update IPv4 and TCP
checksums for merged packets. If inputted packets are IP fragmented,
TCP/IPv4 GRO API assumes they are complete packets (i.e. with L4
headers).

In TCP/IPv4 GRO, we use a table structure, called TCP/IPv4 reassembly
table, to reassemble packets. A TCP/IPv4 reassembly table includes a key
array and a item array, where the key array keeps the criteria to merge
packets and the item array keeps packet information.

One key in the key array points to an item group, which consists of
packets which have the same criteria value. If two packets are able to
merge, they must be in the same item group. Each key in the key array
includes two parts:
- criteria: the criteria of merging packets. If two packets can be
    merged, they must have the same criteria value.
- start_index: the index of the first incoming packet of the item group.

Each element in the item array keeps the information of one packet. It
mainly includes three parts:
- firstseg: the address of the first segment of the packet
- lastseg: the address of the last segment of the packet
- next_pkt_index: the index of the next packet in the same item group.
    All packets in the same item group are chained by next_pkt_index.
    With next_pkt_index, we can locate all packets in the same item
    group one by one.

To process an incoming packet needs three steps:
a. check if the packet should be processed. Packets with one of the
    following properties won't be processed:
	- FIN, SYN, RST, URG, PSH, ECE or CWR bit is set;
	- packet payload length is 0.
b. traverse the key array to find a key which has the same criteria
    value with the incoming packet. If find, goto step c. Otherwise,
    insert a new key and insert the packet into the item array.
c. locate the first packet in the item group via the start_index in the
    key. Then traverse all packets in the item group via next_pkt_index.
    If find one packet which can merge with the incoming one, merge them
    together. If can't find, insert the packet into this item group.

e996506a1c lib/gro: add Generic Receive Offload API framework
Generic Receive Offload (GRO) is a widely used SW-based offloading
technique to reduce per-packet processing overhead. It gains
performance by reassembling small packets into large ones. This
patchset is to support GRO in DPDK. To support GRO, this patch
implements a GRO API framework.

To enable more flexibility to applications, DPDK GRO is implemented as
a user library. Applications explicitly use the GRO library to merge
small packets into large ones. DPDK GRO provides two reassembly modes.
One is called lightweight mode, the other is called heavyweight mode.
If applications want to merge packets in a simple way and the number
of packets is relatively small, they can use the lightweight mode.
If applications need more fine-grained controls, they can choose the
heavyweight mode.

rte_gro_reassemble_burst is the main reassembly API which is used in
lightweight mode and processes N packets at a time. For applications,
performing GRO in lightweight mode is simple. They just need to invoke
rte_gro_reassemble_burst. Applications can get GROed packets as soon as
rte_gro_reassemble_burst returns.

rte_gro_reassemble is the main reassembly API which is used in
heavyweight mode and tries to merge N inputted packets with the packets
in GRO reassembly tables. For applications, performing GRO in heavyweight
mode is relatively complicated. Before performing GRO, applications need
to create a GRO context object, which keeps reassembly tables of
desired GRO types, by rte_gro_ctx_create. Then applications can use
rte_gro_reassemble to merge packets. The GROed packets are in the
reassembly tables of the GRO context object. If applications want to get
them, applications need to manually flush them by flush API.
