doc: announce vhost-cuse removal
Vhost-cuse was invented before vhost-user exist. The both are actually
doing the same thing: a vhost-net implementation in user space. But they
are not exactly the same thing.
Firstly, vhost-cuse is harder for use; no one seems to care it, either.
Furthermore, since v2.1, a large majority of development effort has gone
to vhost-user. For example, we extended the vhost-user spec to add the
multiple queue support. We also added the vhost-user live migration at
v16.04 and the latest one, vhost-user reconnect that allows vhost app
restart without restarting the guest. Both of them are very important
features for product usage and none of them works for vhost-cuse.
You now see that the difference between vhost-user and vhost-cuse is
big (and will be bigger and bigger as time moves forward), that you
should never use vhost-cuse, that we should drop it completely.
The remove would also result to a much cleaner code base, allowing us
to do all kinds of extending easier.
So here to mark vhost-cuse as deprecated in this release and will be
removed in the next release (v16.11).

doc: announce ABI change for Tx preparation
This is an ABI deprecation notice for DPDK 16.11 in librte_ether about
changes in rte_eth_dev and rte_eth_desc_lim structures.
As discussed in that thread:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2015-September/023603.html
Different NIC models depending on HW offload requested might impose
different requirements on packets to be TX-ed in terms of:
- Max number of fragments per packet allowed
- Max number of fragments per TSO segments
- The way pseudo-header checksum should be pre-calculated
- L3/L4 header fields filling
- etc.
MOTIVATION:
-----------
1) Some work cannot (and didn't should) be done in rte_eth_tx_burst.
However, this work is sometimes required, and now, it's an
application issue.
2) Different hardware may have different requirements for TX offloads,
other subset can be supported and so on.
3) Some parameters (eg. number of segments in ixgbe driver) may hung
device. These parameters may be vary for different devices.
For example i40e HW allows 8 fragments per packet, but that is after
TSO segmentation. While ixgbe has a 38-fragment pre-TSO limit.
4) Fields in packet may require different initialization (like eg. will
require pseudo-header checksum precalculation, sometimes in a
different way depending on packet type, and so on). Now application
needs to care about it.
5) Using additional API (rte_eth_tx_prep) before rte_eth_tx_burst let to
prepare packet burst in acceptable form for specific device.
6) Some additional checks may be done in debug mode keeping tx_burst
implementation clean.
PROPOSAL:
---------
To help user to deal with all these varieties we propose to:
1. Introduce rte_eth_tx_prep() function to do necessary preparations of
packet burst to be safely transmitted on device for desired HW
offloads (set/reset checksum field according to the hardware
requirements) and check HW constraints (number of segments per
packet, etc).
While the limitations and requirements may differ for devices, it
requires to extend rte_eth_dev structure with new function pointer
"tx_pkt_prep" which can be implemented in the driver to prepare and
verify packets, in devices specific way, before burst, what should to
prevent application to send malformed packets.
2. Also new fields will be introduced in rte_eth_desc_lim:
nb_seg_max and nb_mtu_seg_max, providing an information about max
segments in TSO and non-TSO packets acceptable by device.
This information is useful for application to not create/limit
malicious packet.
APPLICATION (CASE OF USE):
--------------------------
1) Application should to initialize burst of packets to send, set
required tx offload flags and required fields, like l2_len, l3_len,
l4_len, and tso_segsz
2) Application passes burst to the rte_eth_tx_prep to check conditions
required to send packets through the NIC.
3) The result of rte_eth_tx_prep can be used to send valid packets
and/or restore invalid if function fails.
eg.
for (i = 0; i < nb_pkts; i++) {
/* initialize or process packet */
bufs[i]->tso_segsz = 800;
bufs[i]->ol_flags = PKT_TX_TCP_SEG | PKT_TX_IPV4
| PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM;
bufs[i]->l2_len = sizeof(struct ether_hdr);
bufs[i]->l3_len = sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr);
bufs[i]->l4_len = sizeof(struct tcp_hdr);
}
/* Prepare burst of TX packets */
nb_prep = rte_eth_tx_prep(port, 0, bufs, nb_pkts);
if (nb_prep < nb_pkts) {
printf("tx_prep failed\n");
/* drop or restore invalid packets */
}
/* Send burst of TX packets */
nb_tx = rte_eth_tx_burst(port, 0, bufs, nb_prep);
/* Free any unsent packets. */

doc: add flow bifurcation howto on Linux
Flow Bifurcation is a mechanism which uses features of advanced
Ethernet devices to split traffic between queues. It provides
the capability to let the kernel driver and DPDK driver co-exist
and take advantage of both.
It is achieved by using SR-IOV and the NIC's advanced filtering. This
patch describes Flow Bifurcation and adds the user guide for ixgbe

doc: note a pitfall on vhost reconnect feature
The vhost feature negotiation only happens at virtio reset stage, say
when a virtio-net device is firstly initiated, or when DPDK virtio PMD
initiates. That means, if vhost APP restarts after the negotiation and
reconnects, the feature negotiation process will not be triggered again,
meaning the info is lost. To make reconnect work, QEMU simply saves
the negotiated features before the restart and restores it afterwards.
Therefore, the vhost supported features must be exactly the same before
and after the restart. For example, if TSO is disabled and then enabled,
nothing will work and undefined issues might happen.

examples/vhost: fix performance
We find significant perfermance drop introduced by below commit,
when vhost example is started with --mergeable 0 and inside vm,
kernel virtio-net driver is used to do ip based forwarding.
The commit,
859b480d5afd ("vhost: add guest offload setting"), adds
support for VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4 and VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO6,
in vhost lib. But inside vhost example, the way to disable tso only
excludes the direction from virtio to vhost, but not the opposite
direction. When mergeable is disabled, it triggers big_packets path
of virtio-net driver to prepare to receive possible big packets with
size of 64K. Because mergeable is off, for each entry of avail ring,
virtio driver uses 19 desc chained together, with one desc pointing
to header, other 18 desc pointing to 4K-sized pages. But QEMU only
creates 256 desc entries for each vq, which results in that only 13
packets can be received. VM kernel can quickly handle those packets
and go to sleep (HLT).
As QEMU has no option to set the desc entries of a vq, so here,
we disable VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO4 and VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO6
with VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_TSO4 and VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_TSO6 when we
disable tso of vhost example, to avoid VM kernel virtio driver
go into big_packets path.

app/test: disable filtering with stripped binary
The unavailable tests are filtered out by autotest by looking for
the symbols in the binary:
PCI autotest: Skipped [Not Available] [00m 00s]
Malloc autotest: Success [00m 00s]
It results to skip everything if the binary has no symbol (stripped):
PCI autotest: Skipped [Not Available] [00m 00s]
Malloc autotest: Skipped [Not Available] [00m 00s]
This case is handled by getting back to the old behaviour if the binary
has no symbol information:
PCI autotest: Fail [Not found] [00m 00s]
Malloc autotest: Success [00m 00s]

mempool: adjust name size in related data types
A recent patch brought up an issue about the size of the 'name' fields:
85cf0079 mem: avoid memzone/mempool/ring name truncation
These relations should be observed:
1. Each ring creates a memzone with a prefixed name:
RTE_RING_NAMESIZE <= RTE_MEMZONE_NAMESIZE - strlen(RTE_RING_MZ_PREFIX)
2. There are some mempool handlers which create a ring with a prefixed
name:
RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE <= RTE_RING_NAMESIZE - strlen(RTE_MEMPOOL_MZ_PREFIX)
3. A mempool can create up to RTE_MAX_MEMZONE pre and postfixed memzones:
sprintf(postfix, "_%d", RTE_MAX_MEMZONE)
RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE <= RTE_MEMZONE_NAMESIZE -
strlen(RTE_MEMPOOL_MZ_PREFIX) - strlen(postfix)
Setting all of them to 32 hides this restriction from the application.
This patch decreases the mempool and ring string size to accommodate for
these prefixes, but it doesn't apply the 3rd constraint. Applications
relying on these constants need to be recompiled, otherwise they'll run
into ENAMETOOLONG issues.
The size of the arrays are kept 32 for ABI compatibility, it can be
decreased next time the ABI changes.
