The Soft NIC\n pipeline is DIY and reconfigurable through \"firmware\" (DPDK Packet\n Framework script).\n* Configured through the standard DPDK ethdev API (including flow,\n QoS, security). The internal framework is not externally visible.\n* Key benefits:\n - Can be used to augment missing features to HW NICs.\n - Allows consumption of advanced DPDK features without\n redesigning the target application.\n - Allows out-of-the-box performance boost of DPDK.\n consumers apps simply by instantiating this Ethernet device.\n\nExample: Create \"Soft NIC\" port with configuration defined\nin \"firmware\" script file\n --vdev 'net_softnic0,firmware=script.cli'\n\nv5 changes:\n- update meson file\n\nv4 changes:\n- fix multiple function definitions errors in ip-pipeline due to\n softnic functions\n\nv3 changes:\n- fix freebsd build errors\n- add firmware script for softnic\n\nv2 changes:\n- fix build warnings\n- fix checkpatch warnings\n\nCristian Dumitrescu (22):\nJasvinder Singh (23):\nReshma Pattan (1):\n net/softnic: restructuring\n net/softnic: add software queue object\n net/softnic: add link object\n net/softnic: add mempool object\n net/softnic: add tap object\n net/softnic: add traffic manager object\n net/softnic: add port action profile\n net/softnic: add table action profile\n net/softnic: add pipeline object\n net/softnic: add thread\n net/softnic: add softnic run API\n net/softnic: add cli interface\n net/softnic: add connection agent\n net/softnic: add cli to create softnic objects\n net/softnic: add cli to enable and disable pipeline\n net/softnic: add cli for pipeline table entries\n net/softnic: add cli to read stats\n net/softnic: add cli for meter action\n net/softnic: add cli for ttl action\n net/softnic: receive and transmit queue setup\n net/softnic: start and stop function\n net/softnic: add firmware script\n app/testpmd: rework softnic forward mode\n\n app/test-pmd/Makefile | 4 +-\n app/test-pmd/cmdline.c | 54 +-\n app/test-pmd/config.c | 57 +\n app/test-pmd/{tm.c => softnicfwd.c} | 405 +-\n app/test-pmd/testpmd.c | 29 +-\n app/test-pmd/testpmd.h | 44 +-\n config/common_base | 2 +-\n config/common_linuxapp | 1 +\n drivers/net/softnic/Makefile | 23 +-\n drivers/net/softnic/conn.c | 332 ++\n drivers/net/softnic/conn.h | 49 +\n drivers/net/softnic/firmware.cli | 21 +\n drivers/net/softnic/hash_func.h | 359 ++\n drivers/net/softnic/hash_func_arm64.h | 261 ++\n drivers/net/softnic/meson.build | 15 +-\n drivers/net/softnic/parser.c | 685 +++\n drivers/net/softnic/parser.h | 66 +\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic.c | 755 ++--\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic.h | 49 +-\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_action.c | 389 ++\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_cli.c | 4342 ++++++++++++++++++++\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_internals.h | 814 +++-\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_link.c | 98 +\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_mempool.c | 103 +\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_pipeline.c | 966 +++++\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_swq.c | 113 +\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_tap.c | 118 +\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_thread.c | 2929 +++++++++++++\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_tm.c | 173 +-\n ...nic_version.map => rte_eth_softnic_version.map} | 6 +\n mk/rte.app.mk | 6 +\n 31 files changed, 12236 insertions(+), 1032 deletions(-)\n rename app/test-pmd/{tm.c => softnicfwd.c} (61%)\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/conn.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/conn.h\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/firmware.cli\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/hash_func.h\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/hash_func_arm64.h\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/parser.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/parser.h\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_action.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_cli.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_link.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_mempool.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_pipeline.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_swq.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_tap.c\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_thread.c\n rename drivers/net/softnic/{rte_pmd_softnic_version.map => rte_eth_softnic_version.map} (52%)" }
