The DevX interface exposes a new feature to the PMD that can allocate a batch of counters by one FW command. It can improve the flow transaction rate (with count action). Add a new counter pools mechanism to manage HW counters in the PMD. So, for each flow with counter creation the PMD will try to find a free counter in the PMD pools container and only if there is no a free counter, it will allocate a new DevX batch counters. Currently we cannot support batch counter for a group 0 flow, so create a 2 container types, one which allocates counters one by one and one which allocates X counters by the batch feature. The allocated counters objects are never released back to the HW assuming the flows maximum number will be close to the actual value of the flows number. Later, it can be updated, and dynamic release mechanism can be added. The counters are contained in pools, each pool with 512 counters. The pools are contained in counter containers according to the allocation resolution type - single or batch. The cache memory of the counters statistics is saved as raw data per pool. All the raw data memory is allocated for all the container in one memory allocation and is managed by counter_stats_mem_mng structure which registers all the raw memory to the HW. Each pool points to one raw data structure. The query operation is in pool resolution which updates all the pool counter raw data by one operation.
