Stephen Hemminger e24b8ad46b doc: avoid meson deprecation in setup 
The command "meson build" causes a deprecation warning with meson 0.64.0.

WARNING: Running the setup command as `meson [options]` instead of
    `meson setup [options]` is ambiguous and deprecated.

Therefore fix the examples in the documentation.

MVPP2 Poll Mode Driver
======================
The MVPP2 PMD (**librte_net_mvpp2**) provides poll mode driver support
for the Marvell PPv2 (Packet Processor v2) 1/10 Gbps adapter.
Detailed information about SoCs that use PPv2 can be obtained here:
* https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-70xx/
* https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-80xx/
Features
--------
Features of the MVPP2 PMD are:
- Speed capabilities
- Link status
- Tx Queue start/stop
- MTU update
- Jumbo frame
- Promiscuous mode
- Allmulticast mode
- Unicast MAC filter
- Multicast MAC filter
- RSS hash
- VLAN filter
- CRC offload
- L3 checksum offload
- L4 checksum offload
- Packet type parsing
- Basic stats
- :ref:`Extended stats <extstats>`
- RX flow control
- Scattered TX frames
- :ref:`QoS <extconf>`
- :ref:`Flow API <flowapi>`
- :ref:`Traffic metering and policing <mtrapi>`
- :ref:`Traffic Management API <tmapi>`
Limitations
-----------
- Number of lcores is limited to 9 by MUSDK internal design. If more lcores
need to be allocated, locking will have to be considered. Number of available
lcores can be changed via ``MRVL_MUSDK_HIFS_RESERVED`` define in
``mrvl_ethdev.c`` source file.
- Flushing vlans added for filtering is not possible due to MUSDK missing
functionality. Current workaround is to reset board so that PPv2 has a
chance to start in a sane state.
- MUSDK architecture does not support changing configuration in run time.
All necessary configurations should be done before first dev_start().
- RX queue start/stop is not supported.
- Current implementation does not support replacement of buffers in the HW buffer pool
at run time, so it is responsibility of the application to ensure that MTU does not exceed the configured buffer size.
- Configuring TX flow control currently is not supported.
- In current implementation, mechanism for acknowledging transmitted packets (``tx_done_cleanup``) is not supported.
- Running more than one DPDK-MUSDK application simultaneously is not supported.
Prerequisites
-------------
- Custom Linux Kernel sources
.. code-block:: console
git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/linux-marvell.git -b linux-4.4.120-armada-18.09
- Out of tree `mvpp2x_sysfs` kernel module sources
.. code-block:: console
git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mvpp2x-marvell.git -b mvpp2x-armada-18.09
- MUSDK (Marvell User-Space SDK) sources
.. code-block:: console
git clone https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/musdk-marvell.git -b musdk-release-SDK-10.3.5.0-PR2
MUSDK is a light-weight library that provides direct access to Marvell's
PPv2 (Packet Processor v2). Alternatively prebuilt MUSDK library can be
requested from `Marvell Extranet <https://extranet.marvell.com>`_. Once
approval has been granted, library can be found by typing ``musdk`` in
the search box.
To get better understanding of the library one can consult documentation
available in the ``doc`` top level directory of the MUSDK sources.
- DPDK environment
Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup
DPDK environment.
Building MUSDK
--------------
Driver needs precompiled MUSDK library during compilation.
.. code-block:: console
export CROSS_COMPILE=<toolchain>/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
./bootstrap
./configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu
make install
MUSDK will be installed to `usr/local` under current directory.
For the detailed build instructions please consult ``doc/musdk_get_started.txt``.
Building DPDK
-------------
Add path to libmusdk.pc in PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
.. code-block:: console
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$<musdk_install_dir>/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
meson setup build --cross-file config/arm/arm64_armada_linux_gcc
ninja -C build
Usage Example
-------------
MVPP2 PMD requires extra out of tree kernel modules to function properly.
`musdk_cma` sources are part of the MUSDK. Please consult
``doc/musdk_get_started.txt`` for the detailed build instructions.
For `mvpp2x_sysfs` please consult ``Documentation/pp22_sysfs.txt`` for the
detailed build instructions.
.. code-block:: console
insmod musdk_cma.ko
insmod mvpp2x_sysfs.ko
Additionally interfaces used by DPDK application need to be put up:
.. code-block:: console
ip link set eth0 up
ip link set eth2 up

.. _flowapi:
Flow API
--------
PPv2 offers packet classification capabilities via classifier engine which
can be configured via generic flow API offered by DPDK.
The :ref:`flow_isolated_mode` is supported.
For an additional description please refer to DPDK :doc:`../prog_guide/rte_flow`.
Supported flow actions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Following flow action items are supported by the driver:
* DROP
* QUEUE
* METER
Supported flow items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Following flow items and their respective fields are supported by the driver:
* ETH
* source MAC
* destination MAC
* ethertype
* VLAN
* PCP
* VID
* IPV4
* DSCP
* protocol
* source address
* destination address
* IPV6
* flow label
* next header
* source address
* destination address
* UDP
* source port
* destination port
* TCP
* source port
* destination port
Classifier match engine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Classifier has an internal match engine which can be configured to
operate in either exact or maskable mode.
Mode is selected upon creation of the first unique flow rule as follows:
* maskable, if key size is up to 8 bytes.
* exact, otherwise, i.e for keys bigger than 8 bytes.
Where the key size equals the number of bytes of all fields specified
in the flow items.
.. table:: Examples of key size calculation
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| Flow pattern | Key size in bytes | Used engine |
+============================================================================+===================+=============+
| ETH (destination MAC) / VLAN (VID) | 6 + 2 = 8 | Maskable |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| VLAN (VID) / IPV4 (source address) | 2 + 4 = 6 | Maskable |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| TCP (source port, destination port) | 2 + 2 = 4 | Maskable |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| VLAN (priority) / IPV4 (source address) | 1 + 4 = 5 | Maskable |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| IPV4 (destination address) / UDP (source port, destination port) | 6 + 2 + 2 = 10 | Exact |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| VLAN (VID) / IPV6 (flow label, destination address) | 2 + 3 + 16 = 21 | Exact |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| IPV4 (DSCP, source address, destination address) | 1 + 4 + 4 = 9 | Exact |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
| IPV6 (flow label, source address, destination address) | 3 + 16 + 16 = 35 | Exact |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------+-------------+
From the user perspective maskable mode means that masks specified
via flow rules are respected. In case of exact match mode, masks
which do not provide exact matching (all bits masked) are ignored.
If the flow matches more than one classifier rule the first
(with the lowest index) matched takes precedence.
Flow rules usage example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before proceeding run testpmd user application:
.. code-block:: console
./dpdk-testpmd --vdev=eth_mvpp2,iface=eth0,iface=eth2 -c 3 -- -i --p 3 -a --disable-hw-vlan-strip
Example #1
^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth src is 10:11:12:13:14:15 / end actions drop / end
In this case key size is 6 bytes thus maskable type is selected. Testpmd
will set mask to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff i.e traffic explicitly matching
above rule will be dropped.
Example #2
^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern ipv4 src spec 10.10.10.0 src mask 255.255.255.0 / tcp src spec 0x10 src mask 0x10 / end action drop / end
In this case key size is 8 bytes thus maskable type is selected.
Flows which have IPv4 source addresses ranging from 10.10.10.0 to 10.10.10.255
and tcp source port set to 16 will be dropped.
Example #3
^^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern vlan vid spec 0x10 vid mask 0x10 / ipv4 src spec 10.10.1.1 src mask 255.255.0.0 dst spec 11.11.11.1 dst mask 255.255.255.0 / end actions drop / end
In this case key size is 10 bytes thus exact type is selected.
Even though each item has partial mask set, masks will be ignored.
As a result only flows with VID set to 16 and IPv4 source and destination
addresses set to 10.10.1.1 and 11.11.11.1 respectively will be dropped.
Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~
Following limitations need to be taken into account while creating flow rules:
* For IPv4 exact match type the key size must be up to 12 bytes.
* For IPv6 exact match type the key size must be up to 36 bytes.
* Following fields cannot be partially masked (all masks are treated as
if they were exact):
* ETH: ethertype
* VLAN: PCP, VID
* IPv4: protocol
* IPv6: next header
* TCP/UDP: source port, destination port
* Only one classifier table can be created thus all rules in the table
have to match table format. Table format is set during creation of
the first unique flow rule.
* Up to 5 fields can be specified per flow rule.
* Up to 20 flow rules can be added.
For additional information about classifier please consult
``doc/musdk_cls_user_guide.txt``.
.. _mtrapi:
Traffic metering and policing
-----------------------------
MVPP2 PMD supports DPDK traffic metering and policing that allows the following:
1. Meter ingress traffic.
2. Do policing.
3. Gather statistics.
For an additional description please refer to DPDK :doc:`Traffic Metering and Policing API <../prog_guide/traffic_metering_and_policing>`.
The policer objects defined by this feature can work with the default policer defined via config file as described in :ref:`QoS Support <extconf>`.
Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~
The following capabilities are not supported:
- MTR object meter DSCP table update
- MTR object policer action update
- MTR object enabled statistics
Usage example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Run testpmd user app:
.. code-block:: console
./dpdk-testpmd --vdev=eth_mvpp2,iface=eth0,iface=eth2 -c 6 -- -i -p 3 -a --txd 1024 --rxd 1024
2. Create meter profile:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> add port meter profile 0 0 srtcm_rfc2697 2000 256 256
3. Create meter:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> create port meter 0 0 0 yes d d d 0 1 0
4. Create flow rule witch meter attached:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern ipv4 src is 10.10.10.1 / end actions meter mtr_id 0 / end
For a detailed usage description please refer to "Traffic Metering and Policing" section in DPDK :doc:`Testpmd Runtime Functions <../testpmd_app_ug/testpmd_funcs>`.
.. _tmapi:
Traffic Management API
----------------------
MVPP2 PMD supports generic DPDK Traffic Management API which allows to
configure the following features:
1. Hierarchical scheduling
2. Traffic shaping
3. Congestion management
4. Packet marking
Internally TM is represented by a hierarchy (tree) of nodes.
Node which has a parent is called a leaf whereas node without
parent is called a non-leaf (root).
MVPP2 PMD supports two level hierarchy where level 0 represents ports and level 1 represents tx queues of a given port.
.. figure:: img/mvpp2_tm.*
Nodes hold following types of settings:
- for egress scheduler configuration: weight
- for egress rate limiter: private shaper
- bitmask indicating which statistics counters will be read
Hierarchy is always constructed from the top, i.e first a root node is added
then some number of leaf nodes. Number of leaf nodes cannot exceed number
of configured tx queues.
After hierarchy is complete it can be committed.
For an additional description please refer to DPDK :doc:`Traffic Management API <../prog_guide/traffic_management>`.
Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~
The following capabilities are not supported:
- Traffic manager WRED profile and WRED context
- Traffic manager shared shaper update
- Traffic manager packet marking
- Maximum number of levels in hierarchy is 2
- Currently dynamic change of a hierarchy is not supported
