net/mlx5: add queue start and stop
The mlx5 PMD did not support queue_start and queue_stop eth_dev API
routines, queue could not be suspended and resumed during device
operation.
There is the use case when this feature is crucial for applications:
- there is the secondary process handling the queue
- secondary process crashed/aborted
- some mbufs were allocated or used by secondary application
- some mbufs were allocated by Rx queues to receive packets
- some mbufs were placed to send queue
- queue goes to undefined state
In this case there was no reliable way to recovery queue handling
by restarted secondary process but reset queue to initial state
freeing all involved resources, including buffers involved in queue
operations, reset the mbuf pools, and then reinitialize queue
to working state:
- reset mbuf pool, allocate all mbuf to initialize pool into
safe state after the crush and allow safe mbuf free calls
- stop queue, free all potentially involved mbufs
- reset mbuf pool again
- start queue, reallocate mbufs needed
This patch introduces the queue start/stop feature with some
limitations:
- hairpin queues are not supported
- it is application responsibility to synchronize start/stop
with datapath routines, rx/tx_burst must be suspended during
the queue_start/queue_stop calls
- it is application responsibility to track queue usage and
provide coordinated queue_start/queue_stop calls from
secondary and primary processes.
- Rx queues with vectorized Rx routine and engaged CQE
compression are not supported by this patch currently
