c0bddd3a05 net/tap: add link status notification
As tap is a virtual device, there's no physical way a link can be cut.
However, it has an associated kernel netdevice and possibly a remote
netdevice too. These netdevices link status may change outside of the
DPDK scope, through an external command such as:

  ip link set dev tapX down

This commit implements link status notification through netlink.

2bc06869cd net/tap: add remote netdevice traffic capture
By default, a tap netdevice is of no use when not fed by a separate
process. The ability to automatically feed it from another netdevice
allows applications to capture any kind of traffic normally destined to
the kernel stack.

This patch implements this ability through a new optional "remote"
parameter.

Packets matching filtering rules created with the flow API are matched
on the remote device and redirected to the tap PMD, where the relevant
action will be performed.

de96fe68ae net/tap: add basic flow API patterns and actions
Supported flow rules are now mapped to TC rules on the tap netdevice.
The netlink message used for creating the TC rule is stored in struct
rte_flow. That way, by simply changing a metadata in it, we can require
for the rule deletion without further parsing.

Supported items:
- eth: src and dst (with variable masks), and eth_type (0xffff mask).
- vlan: vid, pcp, tpid, but not eid.
- ipv4/6: src and dst (with variable masks), and ip_proto (0xffff mask).
- udp/tcp: src and dst port (0xffff) mask.

Supported actions:
- DROP
- QUEUE
- PASSTHRU

It is generally not possible to provide a "last" item. However, if the
"last" item, once masked, is identical to the masked spec, then it is
supported.

Only IPv4/6 and MAC addresses can use a variable mask. All other
items need a full mask (exact match).

Support for VLAN requires kernel headers >= 4.9, checked using
auto-config.sh.

6ce84bd889 net/mlx5: add enhanced multi-packet send for ConnectX-5
ConnectX-5 supports enhanced version of multi-packet send (MPS). An MPS Tx
descriptor can carry multiple packets either by including pointers of
packets or by inlining packets. Inlining packet data can be helpful to
better utilize PCIe bandwidth. In addition, Enhanced MPS supports hybrid
mode - mixing inlined packets and pointers in a descriptor. This feature is
enabled by default if supported by HW.

- for Tx, we call txq_complete() to free descriptors processed by

For Rx, it is almost similar to rx_descriptor_done API, except it

For Tx, it is a new API.

The descriptor_done() API, and probably the rx_queue_count() API could

14fbffb0aa ring: return free space when enqueuing
Add an extra parameter to the ring enqueue burst/bulk functions so that
those functions can optionally return the amount of free space in the
ring. This information can be used by applications in a number of ways,
for instance, with single-producer queues, it provides a max
enqueue size which is guaranteed to work. It can also be used to
implement watermark functionality in apps, replacing the older
functionality with a more flexible version, which enables apps to
implement multiple watermark thresholds, rather than just one.

cfa7c9e6fc ring: make bulk and burst return values consistent
The bulk fns for rings returns 0 for all elements enqueued and negative
for no space. Change that to make them consistent with the burst functions
in returning the number of elements enqueued/dequeued, i.e. 0 or N.
This change also allows the return value from enq/deq to be used directly
without a branch for error checking.

feb9f680cd mk: optimize directory dependencies
Before this patch, the management of dependencies between directories
had several issues:

- the generation of .depdirs, done at configuration is slow: it can take
  more than one minute on some slow targets (usually ~10s on a standard
  PC without -j).

- for instance, it is possible to express a dependency like:
  - app/foo depends on lib/librte_foo
  - and lib/librte_foo depends on app/bar
  But this won't work because the directories are traversed with a
  depth-first algorithm, so we have to choose between doing 'app' before
  or after 'lib'.

- the script depdirs-rule.sh is too complex.

- we cannot use "make -d" for debug, because the output of make is used for
  the generation of .depdirs.

This patch moves the DEPDIRS-* variables in the upper Makefile, making
the dependencies much easier to calculate. A DEPDIRS variable is still
used to process library dependencies in LDLIBS.

After this commit, "make config" is almost immediate.

630f6ec11e mk: provide option to set major ABI version
Downstreams might want to provide different DPDK releases at the same
time to support multiple consumers of DPDK linked against older and newer
sonames.

Also due to the interdependencies that DPDK libraries can have applications
might end up with an executable space in which multiple versions of a
library are mapped by ld.so.

Think of LibA that got an ABI bump and LibB that did not get an ABI bump
but is depending on LibA.

    Application
    \-> LibA.old
    \-> LibB.new -> LibA.new

That is a conflict which can be avoided by setting CONFIG_RTE_MAJOR_ABI.
If set CONFIG_RTE_MAJOR_ABI overwrites any LIBABIVER value.
An example might be ``CONFIG_RTE_MAJOR_ABI=16.11`` which will make all
libraries librte<?>.so.16.11 instead of librte<?>.so.<LIBABIVER>.

We need to cut arbitrary long stings after the .so now and this would work
for any ABI version in LIBABIVER:
  $(Q)ln -s -f $< $(patsubst %.$(LIBABIVER),%,$@)
But using the following instead additionally allows to simplify the Make
File for the CONFIG_RTE_NEXT_ABI case.
  $(Q)ln -s -f $< $(shell echo $@ | sed 's/\.so.*/.so/')

The trick is to generate some empty content as a big column
above and below the pointed cell.

The position: relative attribute is used for the highlight position
but it makes the border to disappear.

The overflow: hidden attribute is used to mask the generated content
outside of the table.

The class .wy-nav-content has a background which masks the highlighting.
Setting an opacity lower than 1, creates a new stack context and let
the column highlight to be shown.

The background of odd rows was grey and opaque. It is redefined with
a transparent alpha ratio in order to see highlighting on such rows.

a5c44ed455 doc: announce API changes for vhost
I made a vhost ABI/API refactoring at v16.04, meant to avoid such issue
forever. Well, apparently, I lied.

People are looking for more vhost-user options now days, other than
vhost-user net only. For example, SPDK (Storage Performance Development
Kit) are looking for chance of vhost-user SCSI and vhost-user block.

Apparently, they also need a vhost-user backend, while DPDK already
has a (mature enough) backend, they don't want to implement it again
from scratch. They want to leverage the one DPDK provides.

However, the last refactoring hasn't done that right, at least it's
not friendly for extending vhost-user to add more devices support.
For example, different virtio devices has its own feature set, while
APIs like rte_vhost_feature_disable(feature_mask) have no option to
tell the device type. Thus, a more proper API should look like:

    rte_vhost_feature_disable(device_type, feature_mask);

Besides that, few public files and structures should be renamed, to
not let it bind to virtio-net. Specifically, they are:

- virtio_net_device_ops --> vhost_device_ops
- rte_virtio_net.h      --> rte_vhost.h

Then it has been pointed out by Stephen Hemminger that it has

However, we still have not figure out a new way to fix this bug
without this change. Let's postpone this deprecation announcement

It consists of:

- A front-end server which has an EFD table that stores the
  node id for each flow key, which will distribute the incoming
  packets to the different nodes

- A back-end node, which has a hash table where node checks,
  after reading packets coming from the server, whether the packet
  is meant to be used in such node, in which case it will be TXed,
  or not, in which case, packet will be dropped.

56b6ef874f efd: new Elastic Flow Distributor library
Elastic Flow Distributor (EFD) is a distributor library that uses
perfect hashing to determine a target/value for a given incoming flow key.
It has the following advantages:

- First, because it uses perfect hashing, it does not store
  the key itself and hence lookup performance is not dependent
  on the key size.

- Second, the target/value can be any arbitrary value hence
  the system designer and/or operator can better optimize service rates
  and inter-cluster network traffic locating.

- Third, since the storage requirement is much smaller than a hash-based
  flow table (i.e. better fit for CPU cache), EFD can scale to
  millions of flow keys.
  Finally, with current optimized library implementation performance
  is fully scalable with number of CPU cores.
