More control for the application. queue depth (the memory size that\nshould be used).\n2. Enable QoS. QoS is normaly a parametr of queue, so in this approch it\nwill be easy to integrate with such system.\n3. Native integression with the rte flow API. Just setting the target\nqueue/rss to hairpin queue, will result that the traffic will be routed\nto the hairpin queue.\n4. Enable queue offloading.\n\nEach hairpin Rxq can be connected Txq / number of Txqs which can belong to a\ndifferent ports assuming the PMD supports it. The same goes the other\nway each hairpin Txq can be connected to one or more Rxqs.\nThis is the reason that both the Txq setup and Rxq setup are getting the\nhairpin configuration structure.\n\nFrom PMD prespctive the number of Rxq/Txq is the total of standard\nqueues + hairpin queues.\n\nTo configure hairpin queue the user should call\nrte_eth_rx_hairpin_queue_setup / rte_eth_tx_hairpin_queue_setup insteed\nof the normal queue setup functions.\n\nThe hairpin queues are not part of the normal RSS functiosn.\n\nTo use the queues the user simply create a flow that points to RSS/queue\nactions that are hairpin queues.\nThe reason for selecting 2 new functions for hairpin queue setup are:\n1. avoid API break.\n2. avoid extra and unused parameters.\n\n\nThis series must be applied after series[2]\n\n[1] https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/1565703468-55617-1-git-send-email-orika@mellanox.com/\n[2] https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/1569398015-6027-1-git-send-email-viacheslavo@mellanox.com/\n\nCc: wenzhuo.lu@intel.com\nCc: bernard.iremonger@intel.com\nCc: thomas@monjalon.net\nCc: ferruh.yigit@intel.com\nCc: arybchenko@solarflare.com\nCc: viacheslavo@mellanox.com\n\n\nOri Kam (13):\n ethdev: support setup function for hairpin queue\n net/mlx5: query hca hairpin capabilities\n net/mlx5: support Rx hairpin queues\n net/mlx5: prepare txq to work with different types\n net/mlx5: support Tx hairpin queues\n app/testpmd: add hairpin support\n net/mlx5: add hairpin binding function\n net/mlx5: add support for hairpin hrxq\n net/mlx5: add internal tag item and action\n net/mlx5: add id generation function\n net/mlx5: add default flows for hairpin\n net/mlx5: split hairpin flows\n doc: add hairpin feature\n\n app/test-pmd/parameters.c | 12 +\n app/test-pmd/testpmd.c | 59 ++++-\n app/test-pmd/testpmd.h | 1 +\n doc/guides/rel_notes/release_19_11.rst | 5 +\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5.c | 160 ++++++++++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5.h | 65 ++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_devx_cmds.c | 194 +++++++++++++++\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow.c | 393 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow.h | 73 +++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_dv.c | 231 +++++++++++++++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_verbs.c | 11 +-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_prm.h | 127 +++++++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_rxq.c | 323 ++++++++++++++++++++++---\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_rxtx.c | 2 +-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_rxtx.h | 72 +++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_trigger.c | 134 ++++++++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_txq.c | 309 ++++++++++++++++++++----\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.c | 213 +++++++++++++++++\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.h | 145 ++++++++++++\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev_core.h | 18 ++\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev_version.map | 4 +\n 21 files changed, 2424 insertions(+), 127 deletions(-)" }
