+ * RTE RegEx Device API
+ *
+ * Defines RTE RegEx Device APIs for RegEx operations and its provisioning.
+ *
+ * The RegEx Device API is composed of two parts:
+ *
+ * - The application-oriented RegEx API that includes functions to setup
+ * a RegEx device (configure it, setup its queue pairs and start it),
+ * update the rule database and so on.
+ *
+ * - The driver-oriented RegEx API that exports a function allowing
+ * a RegEx poll Mode Driver (PMD) to simultaneously register itself as
+ * a RegEx device driver.
+ *

+ *
+ * RegEx: A regular expression is a concise and flexible means for matching
+ * strings of text, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of
+ * characters. A common abbreviation for this is “RegEx”.
+ *
+ * RegEx device: A hardware or software-based implementation of RegEx
+ * device API for PCRE based pattern matching syntax and semantics.
+ *
+ * PCRE RegEx syntax and semantics specification:
+ * http://regexkit.sourceforge.net/Documentation/pcre/pcrepattern.html
+ *
+ * RegEx queue pair: Each RegEx device should have one or more queue pair to
+ * transmit a burst of pattern matching request and receive a burst of
+ * receive the pattern matching response. The pattern matching request/response
+ * embedded in *rte_regex_ops* structure.
+ *
+ * Rule: A pattern matching rule expressed in PCRE RegEx syntax along with
+ * Match ID and Group ID to identify the rule upon the match.
+ *
+ * Rule database: The RegEx device accepts regular expressions and converts them
+ * into a compiled rule database that can then be used to scan data.
+ * Compilation allows the device to analyze the given pattern(s) and
+ * pre-determine how to scan for these patterns in an optimized fashion that
+ * would be far too expensive to compute at run-time. A rule database contains
+ * a set of rules that compiled in device specific binary form.
+ *
+ * Match ID or Rule ID: A unique identifier provided at the time of rule
+ * creation for the application to identify the rule upon match.
+ *
+ * Group ID: Group of rules can be grouped under one group ID to enable
+ * rule isolation and effective pattern matching. A unique group identifier
+ * provided at the time of rule creation for the application to identify the
+ * rule upon match.
+ *
+ * Scan: A pattern matching request through *enqueue* API.
+ *
+ * It may possible that a given RegEx device may not support all the features
+ * of PCRE. The application may probe unsupported features through
+ * struct rte_regexdev_info::pcre_unsup_flags
+ *
+ * By default, all the functions of the RegEx Device API exported by a PMD
+ * are lock-free functions which assume to not be invoked in parallel on
+ * different logical cores to work on the same target object. For instance,
+ * the dequeue function of a PMD cannot be invoked in parallel on two logical
+ * cores to operates on same RegEx queue pair. Of course, this function
+ * can be invoked in parallel by different logical core on different queue pair.
+ * It is the responsibility of the upper level application to enforce this rule.
+ *
+ * In all functions of the RegEx API, the RegEx device is
+ * designated by an integer >= 0 named the device identifier *dev_id*
+ *
+ * At the RegEx driver level, RegEx devices are represented by a generic
+ * data structure of type *rte_regexdev*.
+ *
+ * RegEx devices are dynamically registered during the PCI/SoC device probing
+ * phase performed at EAL initialization time.
+ * When a RegEx device is being probed, a *rte_regexdev* structure and
+ * a new device identifier are allocated for that device. Then, the
+ * regexdev_init() function supplied by the RegEx driver matching the probed
+ * device is invoked to properly initialize the device.
+ *
+ * The role of the device init function consists of resetting the hardware or
+ * software RegEx driver implementations.
+ *
+ * If the device init operation is successful, the correspondence between
+ * the device identifier assigned to the new device and its associated
+ * *rte_regexdev* structure is effectively registered.
+ * Otherwise, both the *rte_regexdev* structure and the device identifier are
+ * freed.
+ *
+ * The functions exported by the application RegEx API to setup a device
+ * designated by its device identifier must be invoked in the following order:
+ * - rte_regexdev_configure()
+ * - rte_regexdev_queue_pair_setup()
+ * - rte_regexdev_start()
+ *
+ * Then, the application can invoke, in any order, the functions
+ * exported by the RegEx API to enqueue pattern matching job, dequeue pattern
+ * matching response, get the stats, update the rule database,
+ * get/set device attributes and so on
+ *
+ * If the application wants to change the configuration (i.e. call
+ * rte_regexdev_configure() or rte_regexdev_queue_pair_setup()), it must call
+ * rte_regexdev_stop() first to stop the device and then do the reconfiguration
+ * before calling rte_regexdev_start() again. The enqueue and dequeue
+ * functions should not be invoked when the device is stopped.
+ *
+ * Finally, an application can close a RegEx device by invoking the
+ * rte_regexdev_close() function.
+ *
+ * Each function of the application RegEx API invokes a specific function
+ * of the PMD that controls the target device designated by its device
+ * identifier.
+ *
+ * For this purpose, all device-specific functions of a RegEx driver are
+ * supplied through a set of pointers contained in a generic structure of type
+ * *regexdev_ops*.
+ * The address of the *regexdev_ops* structure is stored in the *rte_regexdev*
+ * structure by the device init function of the RegEx driver, which is
+ * invoked during the PCI/SoC device probing phase, as explained earlier.
+ *
+ * In other words, each function of the RegEx API simply retrieves the
+ * *rte_regexdev* structure associated with the device identifier and
+ * performs an indirect invocation of the corresponding driver function
+ * supplied in the *regexdev_ops* structure of the *rte_regexdev* structure.
+ *
+ * For performance reasons, the address of the fast-path functions of the
+ * RegEx driver is not contained in the *regexdev_ops* structure.
+ * Instead, they are directly stored at the beginning of the *rte_regexdev*
+ * structure to avoid an extra indirect memory access during their invocation.
+ *
+ * RTE RegEx device drivers do not use interrupts for enqueue or dequeue
+ * operation. Instead, RegEx drivers export Poll-Mode enqueue and dequeue
+ * functions to applications.
+ *
+ * The *enqueue* operation submits a burst of RegEx pattern matching request
+ * to the RegEx device and the *dequeue* operation gets a burst of pattern
+ * matching response for the ones submitted through *enqueue* operation.
+ *
+ * Typical application utilisation of the RegEx device API will follow the
+ * following programming flow.
+ *
+ * - rte_regexdev_configure()
+ * - rte_regexdev_queue_pair_setup()
+ * - rte_regexdev_rule_db_update() Needs to invoke if precompiled rule database
+ * not provided in rte_regexdev_config::rule_db for rte_regexdev_configure()
+ * and/or application needs to update rule database.
+ * - rte_regexdev_rule_db_compile_activate() Needs to invoke if
+ * rte_regexdev_rule_db_update function was used.
+ * - Create or reuse exiting mempool for *rte_regex_ops* objects.
+ * - rte_regexdev_start()
+ * - rte_regexdev_enqueue_burst()
+ * - rte_regexdev_dequeue_burst()
