vfio: enable unmapping resource for secondary
Subroutine to unmap VFIO resource is shared by secondary and
primary, and it does not work on the secondary process. Since
for secondary process, it is not necessary to close interrupt
handler, set pci bus mastering and remove vfio_res from
vfio_res_list. So, the patch adds a dedicate function to handle
the situation when a device is unmapped on a secondary process.

devtools: add checks for ABI symbol addition
Recently, some additional patches were added to allow for programmatic
marking of C symbols as experimental. The addition of these markers is
dependent on the manual addition of exported symbols to the EXPERIMENTAL

on review is that, in addition to mandating the addition of symbols to
the EXPERIMENTAL version in the map, we need a mechanism to enforce our
documented process of mandating that addition when they are introduced.
To that end, I am proposing this change. It is an addition to the
checkpatches script, which scan incoming patches for additions and
removals of symbols to the map file, and warns the user appropriately.

net/mlx5: support 32-bit systems
This patch adds support for building and running mlx5 PMD on
32bit systems such as i686.
The main issue to tackle was handling the 32bit access to the UAR
as quoted from the mlx5 PRM:
QP and CQ DoorBells require 64-bit writes. For best performance, it
is recommended to execute the QP/CQ DoorBell as a single 64-bit write
operation. For platforms that do not support 64 bit writes, it is
possible to issue the 64 bits DoorBells through two consecutive
writes,
each write 32 bits, as described below:
* The order of writing each of the Dwords is from lower to upper
addresses.
* No other DoorBell can be rung (or even start ringing) in the midst
of an on-going write of a DoorBell over a given UAR page.
The last rule implies that in a multi-threaded environment, the access
to a UAR page (which can be accessible by all threads in the process)
must be synchronized (for example, using a semaphore) unless an atomic
write of 64 bits in a single bus operation is guaranteed. Such a
synchronization is not required for when ringing DoorBells on different
UAR pages.

memzone: improve zero-length reserve
Currently, reserving zero-length memzones is done by looking at
malloc statistics, and reserving biggest sized element found in those
statistics. This has two issues.
First, there is a race condition. The heap is unlocked between the
time we check stats, and the time we reserve malloc element for memzone.
This may lead to inability to reserve the memzone we wanted to reserve,
because another allocation might have taken place and biggest sized
element may no longer be available.
Second, the size returned by malloc statistics does not include any
alignment information, which is worked around by being conservative and
subtracting alignment length from the final result. This leads to
fragmentation and reserving memzones that could have been bigger but
aren't.
Fix all of this by using earlier-introduced operation to reserve
biggest possible malloc element. This, however, comes with a trade-off,
because we can only lock one heap at a time. So, if we check the first
available heap and find *any* element at all, that element will be
considered "the biggest", even though other heaps might have bigger
elements. We cannot know what other heaps have before we try and
allocate it, and it is not a good idea to lock all of the heaps at
the same time, so, we will just document this limitation and
encourage users to reserve memzones with socket id properly set.
Also, fixup unit tests to account for the new behavior.

mem: allocate in reverse to reduce fragmentation
Currently, all hugepages are allocated from lower VA address to
higher VA address, while malloc heap allocates from higher VA
address to lower VA address. This results in heap fragmentation
over time due to multiple reserves leaving small space below the
allocated elements.
Fix this by allocating VA memory from the top, thereby reducing
fragmentation and lowering overall memory usage.
