There is a discrepancy between ethdev API and flow rules guide
regarding flow rules maintenance after port stop.
librte_ethdev.h declares that flow rules will not be stored in PMD
after port stop:
>>>>> Quote start
Please note that some configuration is not stored between calls to
rte_eth_dev_stop()/rte_eth_dev_start(). The following configuration
will be retained:
- MTU
- flow control settings
- receive mode configuration (promiscuous mode, all-multicast mode,
hardware checksum mode, RSS/VMDQ settings etc.)
- VLAN filtering configuration
- default MAC address
- MAC addresses supplied to MAC address array
- flow director filtering mode (but not filtering rules)
- NIC queue statistics mappings
<<<< Quote end
PMD cannot always correctly restore flow rules after port stop / port
start because application may alter port configuration after port stop
without PMD knowledge about undergoing changes. Consider the
following scenario:
application configures 2 queues 0 and 1 and creates a flow rule with
'queue index 1' action. After that application stops the port and
removes queue 1.
Although PMD can implement flow rule shadow copy to be used for
restore after port start, attempt to restore flow rule from shadow
will fail in example above and PMD could not notify application about
that failure. As the result, flow rules map in HW will differ from
what application expects. In addition, flow rules shadow copy used
for port start restore consumes considerable amount of system memory,
especially in systems with millions of flow rules.

This is an improved version of the setup of huge pages
bases on earlier DPDK setup.
Differences are:
* autodetects NUMA vs non NUMA
* allows setting different page sizes
recent kernels support multiple sizes.
* accepts a parameter in bytes (not pages).
* can display current hugepage settings.
Most users will just use --setup argument but if necessary
the steps of clearing old settings and mounting/umounting
can be done individually.

mlx5 PMD refuses to update link state if link speed is defined but
status is down or if link speed is undefined but status is up, even if
the ioctl() succeeded.
This prevents application to detect link up/down event, especially when
the link speed is not correctly detected.
Commit [1] allowed returning unknown link speed, so now PMD allows
the return of unknown link speed in the above case.
Due to some old kernel driver bug, link speed wasn't detected properly.

Currently, when building sphinx documentation, the build will only
succeed if being run from the build system, because the conf.py script
expects DPDK_VERSION environment variable to be set, and crashes if it
is not.
However, there are certain external tools (such as sphinx documentation
preview extensions for certain IDE's) that use live preview and thus
rely on running their own sphinx commands. In these cases, it is useful
to permit building sphinx documentation without specifying the
DPDK_VERSION environment variable. The version string is the only thing
preventing manual sphinx build commands from working.
Fix the conf.py to use "None" as a version string in cases when
DPDK_VERSION environment variable is not set.

Currently, flow-perf measures the performance of
rule installation/deletion operations by breaking
down the entire number of operations into windows
of fixed size (i.e., 100000 operations per window).
Then, flow-perf measures the total time per window
and computes an average time across all windows.
This commit allows flow-perf users to configure
the number of rules per window instead of using
a fixed pre-compiled value. To do so, users must
pass --rules-batch=N, where N is the number of
rules per window (or batch).
For consistency reasons, flow_count variable is
now renamed to rules_count. This variable is the
total number of rules to be installed/deleted.
For example, if a user wants to measure how much
time it takes to install 1M rules in a certain NIC,
he/she can input:
--rules-count=1000000
This way flow-perf will break down 1M flow rules into
10 batches of 100k flow rules each (this is the default
batch size) and compute an average across the 10
measurements.
Now, if the user modifies the number of rules per
batch as follows:
--rules-count=1000000 --rules-batch=500000
then flow-perf will break down 1M flow rules into
2 batches of 500k flow rules each and compute the
average across the 2 measurements.
Finally, this commit also adds default variables
to the usage function instead of hardcoded values.
