This patch introduces the generic ethdev API for the traffic manager capability, which includes: hierarchical scheduling, traffic shaping, congestion management, packet marking. Main features: - Exposed as ethdev plugin capability (similar to rte_flow) - Capability query API per port, per level and per node - Scheduling algorithms: Strict Priority (SP), Weighed Fair Queuing (WFQ) - Traffic shaping: single/dual rate, private (per node) and shared (by multiple nodes) shapers - Congestion management for hierarchy leaf nodes: algorithms of tail drop, head drop, WRED; private (per node) and shared (by multiple nodes) WRED contexts - Packet marking: IEEE 802.1q (VLAN DEI), IETF RFC 3168 (IPv4/IPv6 ECN for TCP and SCTP), IETF RFC 2597 (IPv4 / IPv6 DSCP) Signed-off-by: Cristian Dumitrescu <cristian.dumitrescu@intel.com> Acked-by: Jerin Jacob <jerin.jacob@caviumnetworks.com> Acked-by: Balasubramanian Manoharan <balasubramanian.manoharan@caviumnetworks.com> Acked-by: Hemant Agrawal <hemant.agrawal@nxp.com>
