This commit implements the eventdev ABI changes required by
the DLB/DLB2 PMDs. Several data structures and constants are modified
or added in this patch, thereby requiring modifications to the
dependent apps and examples.
The DLB/DLB2 hardware does not conform exactly to the eventdev interface.
1) It has a limit on the number of queues that may be linked to a port.
2) Some ports a further restricted to a maximum of 1 linked queue.
3) DLB does not have the ability to carry the flow_id as part
of the event (QE) payload. Note that the DLB2 hardware is capable of
carrying the flow_id.
Following is a detailed description of the changes that have been made.
1) Add new fields to the rte_event_dev_info struct. These fields allow
the device to advertise its capabilities so that applications can take
the appropriate actions based on those capabilities.
struct rte_event_dev_info {
uint32_t max_event_port_links;
/**< Maximum number of queues that can be linked to a single event
* port by this device.
*/
uint8_t max_single_link_event_port_queue_pairs;
/**< Maximum number of event ports and queues that are optimized for
* (and only capable of) single-link configurations supported by this
* device. These ports and queues are not accounted for in
* max_event_ports or max_event_queues.
*/
}
2) Add a new field to the rte_event_dev_config struct. This field allows
the application to specify how many of its ports are limited to a single
link, or will be used in single link mode.
/** Event device configuration structure */
struct rte_event_dev_config {
uint8_t nb_single_link_event_port_queues;
/**< Number of event ports and queues that will be singly-linked to
* each other. These are a subset of the overall event ports and
* queues; this value cannot exceed *nb_event_ports* or
* *nb_event_queues*. If the device has ports and queues that are
* optimized for single-link usage, this field is a hint for how many
* to allocate; otherwise, regular event ports and queues can be used.
*/
}
3) Replace the dedicated implicit_release_disabled field with a bit field
of explicit port capabilities. The implicit_release_disable functionality
is assigned to one bit, and a port-is-single-link-only attribute is
assigned to other, with the remaining bits available for future assignment.
* Event port configuration bitmap flags */
#define RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_DISABLE_IMPL_REL (1ULL << 0)
/**< Configure the port not to release outstanding events in
* rte_event_dev_dequeue_burst(). If set, all events received through
* the port must be explicitly released with RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE or
* RTE_EVENT_OP_FORWARD. Must be unset if the device is not
* RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_IMPLICIT_RELEASE_DISABLE capable.
*/
#define RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_SINGLE_LINK (1ULL << 1)
/**< This event port links only to a single event queue.
*
* @see rte_event_port_setup(), rte_event_port_link()
*/
#define RTE_EVENT_PORT_ATTR_IMPLICIT_RELEASE_DISABLE 3
/**
* The implicit release disable attribute of the port
*/
struct rte_event_port_conf {
uint32_t event_port_cfg;
/**< Port cfg flags(EVENT_PORT_CFG_) */
}
This patch also removes the depreciation notice and announce
the new eventdev ABI changes in release note.
