Use RTE_GRAPH_MODEL_SELECT to choose in\n  compile-time in patch 13, 15.(must have rte_graph_worker_model_set() to help\n  other config func to do model specific things like alloc wq, collect stats)\nExtract the common func clone_name() into graph_private.h for graph/node clone in\n  patch 07.(new patch)\nUse rte_graph->model in rte_graph_worker_model_set() instead of RTE_PER_LCORE_*.\nAdd test case for all new APIs in patch 16(new patch).\nRemove *_END line in enum rte_graph_worker_model in patch 04.\nAdd model check for graph lcore binding.\nRename workqueue as graph_mcore_dispatch_wq_node in patch 09.\nChange all new model files/APIs with prefix _mcore_dispatch_.\nChange description of new API, comments of func/structure to explicitly mention for\n  mcore dispatch model only. Add Doxygen comments.\nUpdate l3fwd-graph with new scheme, Update doc.\nUpdate MAINTAINERS.\nFix typo and format issues.\n\nV6:\nChange rte_rdtsc() to rte_rdtsc_precise().\nAdd union in rte_graph_param to configure models.\nRemove memset in fastpath, add RTE_ASSERT for cloned graph.\nUpdate copyright in patch 02.\nUpdate l3fwd-graph node affinity, start from rx core successively.\n\nV5:\nFix CI build issues about dynamically update doc.\n\nV4:\nFix CI build issues about undefined reference of sched apis.\nRemove inline for model setting.\n\nV3:\nFix CI build issues about TLS and typo.\n\nV2:\nUse git mv to keep git history.\nUse TLS for per-thread local storage.\nChange model name to mcore dispatch.\nChange API with specific mode name.\nSplit big patch.\nFix CI issues.\nRebase l3fwd-graph example.\nUpdate doc and maintainers files.\n\n\nCurrently, rte_graph supports RTC (Run-To-Completion) model within each\nof a single core.\nRTC is one of the typical model of packet processing. Others like\nPipeline or Hybrid are lack of support.\n\nThe patch set introduces a 'multicore dispatch' model selection which\nis a self-reacting scheme according to the core affinity.\nThe new model enables a cross-core dispatching mechanism which employs a\nscheduling work-queue to dispatch streams to other worker cores which\nbeing associated with the destination node. When core flavor of the\ndestination node is a default 'current', the stream can be continue\nexecuted as normal.\n\nExample:\n3-node graph targets 3-core budget\n\nRTC:\nGraph: node-0 -> node-1 -> node-2 @Core0.\n\n+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +\n'                Core #0/1/2                '\n'                                           '\n' +--------+     +---------+     +--------+ '\n' | Node-0 | --> | Node-1  | --> | Node-2 | '\n' +--------+     +---------+     +--------+ '\n'                                           '\n+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +\n\nDispatch:\n\nGraph topo: node-0 -> Core1; node-1 -> node-2; node-2 -> node-3.\nConfig graph: node-0 @Core0; node-1/3 @Core1; node-2 @Core2.\n\n.. code-block:: diff\n\n    + - - - - - -+     +- - - - - - - - - - - - - +     + - - - - - -+\n    '  Core #0   '     '          Core #1         '     '  Core #2   '\n    '            '     '                          '     '            '\n    ' +--------+ '     ' +--------+    +--------+ '     ' +--------+ '\n    ' | Node-0 | - - - ->| Node-1 |    | Node-3 |<- - - - | Node-2 | '\n    ' +--------+ '     ' +--------+    +--------+ '     ' +--------+ '\n    '            '     '     |                    '     '      ^     '\n    + - - - - - -+     +- - -|- - - - - - - - - - +     + - - -|- - -+\n                             |                                 |\n                             + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +\n\n\nThe patch set has been break down as below:\n\n1. Split graph worker into common and default model part.\n2. Inline graph node processing to make it reusable.\n3. Add set/get APIs to choose worker model.\n4. Introduce core affinity API to set the node run on specific worker core.\n  (only use in new model)\n5. Introduce graph affinity API to bind one graph with specific worker\n  core.\n6. Introduce graph clone API.\n7. Introduce stream moving with scheduler work-queue in patch 8~12.\n8. Add stats for new models.\n9. Abstract default graph config process and integrate new model into\n  example/l3fwd-graph.
