skip_ip6_ext function can be exported as a helper, it may be used
by some PMD to skip IPv6 header extensions.

When packet is flag of "PKT_TX_OUTER_IPV6", it also need to be
considered to be tunnel case, in order to calculate the correct
csum value.

Added API for `rte_eth_tx_prepare`
uint16_t rte_eth_tx_prepare(uint8_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id,
struct rte_mbuf **tx_pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts)
Added fields to the `struct rte_eth_desc_lim`:
uint16_t nb_seg_max;
/**< Max number of segments per whole packet. */
uint16_t nb_mtu_seg_max;
/**< Max number of segments per one MTU */
These fields can be used to create valid packets according to the
following rules:
* For non-TSO packet, a single transmit packet may span up to
"nb_mtu_seg_max" buffers.
* For TSO packet the total number of data descriptors is "nb_seg_max",
and each segment within the TSO may span up to "nb_mtu_seg_max".
Added functions:
int
rte_validate_tx_offload(struct rte_mbuf *m)
to validate general requirements for tx offload set in mbuf of packet
such a flag completness. In current implementation this function is
called optionaly when RTE_LIBRTE_ETHDEV_DEBUG is enabled.
int rte_net_intel_cksum_prepare(struct rte_mbuf *m)
to prepare pseudo header checksum for TSO and non-TSO tcp/udp packets
before hardware tx checksum offload.
- for non-TSO tcp/udp packets full pseudo-header checksum is
counted and set.
- for TSO the IP payload length is not included.
int
rte_net_intel_cksum_flags_prepare(struct rte_mbuf *m, uint64_t ol_flags)
this function uses same logic as rte_net_intel_cksum_prepare, but
allows application to choose which offloads should be taken into
account, if full preparation is not required.
PERFORMANCE TESTS
-----------------
This feature was tested with modified csum engine from test-pmd.
The packet checksum preparation was moved from application to Tx
preparation step placed before burst.
We may expect some overhead costs caused by:
1) using additional callback before burst,
2) rescanning burst,
3) additional condition checking (packet validation),
4) worse optimization (e.g. packet data access, etc.)
We tested it using ixgbe Tx preparation implementation with some parts
disabled to have comparable information about the impact of different
parts of implementation.
IMPACT:
1) For unimplemented Tx preparation callback the performance impact is
negligible,
2) For packet condition check without checksum modifications (nb_segs,
available offloads, etc.) is 14626628/14252168 (~2.62% drop),
3) Full support in ixgbe driver (point 2 + packet checksum
initialization) is 14060924/13588094 (~3.48% drop)

Add a parameter to rte_net_get_ptype() to select which
layers should be parsed. This avoids to parse all layers if
only the first ones are required.

Add support of Nvgre tunnels in rte_net_get_ptype(). At the same
time, as Nvgre transports Ethernet, we need to add the support for inner
Vlan, QinQ, and Mpls.

Add support of IP and IP6 tunnels in rte_net_get_ptype().
We need to duplicate some code because the packet types do not have the
same value for a given protocol between inner and outer.

Add a new RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_QINQ packet type, and its support in

Introduce the function rte_net_get_ptype() that parses a mbuf and
returns its packet type. For now, the following packet types are parsed:
L2: Ether
L3: IPv4, IPv6
L4: TCP, UDP, SCTP
The goal here is to provide a reference implementation for packet type
parsing. This function will be used by testpmd in next commits, allowing
to compare its result with the value given by the hardware.
This function will also be useful when implementing Rx offload support
in virtio pmd. Indeed, the virtio protocol gives the csum start and
offset, but it does not give the L4 protocol nor it tells if the
checksum is relevant for inner or outer. This information has to be
known to properly set the ol_flags in mbuf.
