bus/vdev: fix finding device by name
Use strcmp to compare device names as the strncmp in original code
causes find_vdev to return -EEXIST for names that are prefix
of another. The creation of interfaces fails unpredictably based
on the order of their creation. An easy way hit this bug is to create
eth_vhost1 after eth_vhost11.

meter: add configuration profile
This patch adds support for meter configuration profiles.
Benefits: simplified configuration procedure, improved performance.
Q1: What is the configuration profile and why does it make sense?
A1: The configuration profile represents the set of configuration
parameters for a given meter object, such as the rates and sizes for
the token buckets. The configuration profile concept makes sense when
many meter objects share the same configuration, which is the typical
usage model: thousands of traffic flows are each individually metered
according to just a few service levels (i.e. profiles).
Q2: How is the configuration profile improving the performance?
A2: The performance improvement is achieved by reducing the memory
footprint of a meter object, which results in better cache utilization
for the typical case when large arrays of meter objects are used. The
internal data structures stored for each meter object contain:
a) Constant fields: Low level translation of the configuration
parameters that does not change post-configuration. This is
really duplicated for all meters that use the same
configuration. This is the configuration profile data that is
moved away from the meter object. Current size (implementation
dependent): srTCM = 32 bytes, trTCM = 32 bytes.
b) Variable fields: Time stamps and running counters that change
during the on-going traffic metering process. Current size
(implementation dependent): srTCM = 24 bytes, trTCM = 32 bytes.
Therefore, by moving the constant fields to a separate profile
data structure shared by all the meters with the same
configuration, the size of the meter object is reduced by ~50%.

The installation of Rx interrupt are triggered from dev_start() in any

net/tap: fix promiscuous rules double insertions
Running testpmd command "port stop all" followed by command "port start
all" may result in a TAP error:
PMD: Kernel refused TC filter rule creation (17): File exists
Root cause analysis: during the execution of "port start all" command
testpmd calls rte_eth_promiscuous_enable() while during the execution
of "port stop all" command testpmd does not call
rte_eth_promiscuous_disable().
As a result the TAP PMD is trying to add tc (traffic control command)
promiscuous rules to the remote netvsc device consecutively. From the
kernel point of view it is seen as an attempt to add the same rule more
than once. In recent kernels (e.g. version 4.13) this attempt is rejected
with a "File exists" error. In less recent kernels (e.g. version 4.4) the
same rule may have been successfully accepted twice, which is undesirable.
In the corrupted code every tc promiscuous rule included a different
handle number parameter. If instead an identical handle number is
used for all tc promiscuous rules - all kernels will reject the second
identical rule with a "File exists" error, which is easy to identify and
to silently ignore.

net/virtio: fix resuming port with Rx vector path
Since commit
efc83a1e7fc3 ("net/virtio: fix queue setup consistency"),
when resuming a virtio port, the rx rings are refilled with new mbufs
until they are full (vq->vq_free_cnt == 0). This is done without
ensuring that the descriptor index remains a multiple of
RTE_VIRTIO_VPMD_RX_REARM_THRESH, which is a prerequisite when using the
vector mode. This can cause an out of bound access in the rx ring.
This commit changes the vector refill method from
virtqueue_enqueue_recv_refill_simple() to virtio_rxq_rearm_vec(), which
properly checks that the refill is done by batch of
RTE_VIRTIO_VPMD_RX_REARM_THRESH.
As virtqueue_enqueue_recv_refill_simple() is no more used, this

because the application triggered dev_stop() operation cannot be
reconfigured again by dev_configure() operation which is really
problematic when application wants to reconfigure its ports.
Actually, the application may get success report when some of the
sub-devices are not in the wanted configuration.
The current behavior of fail-safe dev_configure() is correct only for
the first time dev_configure() is triggered by the application or for
sub-device synchronization in plug-in event, but it ignores the option
for reconfiguration from application side.

net/failsafe: fix hotplug races
Fail-safe uses a periodic alarm mechanism, running from the host
thread, to manage the hot-plug events of its sub-devices. This
management requires a lot of sub-devices PMDs operations
(stop, close, start, configure, etc.).
While the hot-plug alarm runs in the host thread, the application may
call fail-safe operations, which directly trigger the sub-devices PMDs
operations as well. This call may occur from any thread decided by the
application (probably the master thread).
Thus, more than one operation can be executed to a sub-device at the
same time. This can initiate a lot of races in the sub-PMDs.
Moreover, some control operations update the fail-safe internal
databases, which can be used by the alarm mechanism at the same time.
This can also initiate races and crashes.
Fail-safe is the owner of its sub-devices and must synchronize their
use according to the ETHDEV ownership rules.
Synchronize hot-plug management by a new lock mechanism uses a mutex to
atomically defend each critical section in the fail-safe hot-plug
mechanism and control operations to prevent any races between them.

net/failsafe: fix removal scope
The fail-safe PMD uses a per sub-device flag called "remove" to
indicate the scope where the sub-device was removed physically and
whether its software resources should be released.
This flag is set when the fail-safe receives an RMV notification
about the physical removal of the sub-device, and should be unset when
all the sub-device resources are released.
The previous code wrongly unsets the flag in dev_configure(), instead
of when the software resources release is completed.
Change the remove flag unsetting to take action in the end of the
software resources release.
