This patch set modifies the Soft NIC device driver to use the Packet Framework, which makes it much more modular, flexible and extensible with new functionality. * The Soft NIC allows building custom NIC pipelines in SW. The Soft NIC pipeline is DIY and reconfigurable through "firmware" (DPDK Packet Framework script). * Configured through the standard DPDK ethdev API (including flow, QoS, security). The internal framework is not externally visible. * Key benefits: - Can be used to augment missing features to HW NICs. - Allows consumption of advanced DPDK features without redesigning the target application. - Allows out-of-the-box performance boost of DPDK. consumers apps simply by instantiating this Ethernet device. Example: Create "Soft NIC" port with configuration defined in "firmware" script file --vdev 'net_softnic0,firmware=script.cli' v5 changes: - update meson file v4 changes: - fix multiple function definitions errors in ip-pipeline due to softnic functions v3 changes: - fix freebsd build errors - add firmware script for softnic v2 changes: - fix build warnings - fix checkpatch warnings Cristian Dumitrescu (22): Jasvinder Singh (23): Reshma Pattan (1): net/softnic: restructuring net/softnic: add software queue object net/softnic: add link object net/softnic: add mempool object net/softnic: add tap object net/softnic: add traffic manager object net/softnic: add port action profile net/softnic: add table action profile net/softnic: add pipeline object net/softnic: add thread net/softnic: add softnic run API net/softnic: add cli interface net/softnic: add connection agent net/softnic: add cli to create softnic objects net/softnic: add cli to enable and disable pipeline net/softnic: add cli for pipeline table entries net/softnic: add cli to read stats net/softnic: add cli for meter action net/softnic: add cli for ttl action net/softnic: receive and transmit queue setup net/softnic: start and stop function net/softnic: add firmware script app/testpmd: rework softnic forward mode app/test-pmd/Makefile | 4 +- app/test-pmd/cmdline.c | 54 +- app/test-pmd/config.c | 57 + app/test-pmd/{tm.c => softnicfwd.c} | 405 +- app/test-pmd/testpmd.c | 29 +- app/test-pmd/testpmd.h | 44 +- config/common_base | 2 +- config/common_linuxapp | 1 + drivers/net/softnic/Makefile | 23 +- drivers/net/softnic/conn.c | 332 ++ drivers/net/softnic/conn.h | 49 + drivers/net/softnic/firmware.cli | 21 + drivers/net/softnic/hash_func.h | 359 ++ drivers/net/softnic/hash_func_arm64.h | 261 ++ drivers/net/softnic/meson.build | 15 +- drivers/net/softnic/parser.c | 685 +++ drivers/net/softnic/parser.h | 66 + drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic.c | 755 ++-- drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic.h | 49 +- drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_action.c | 389 ++ drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_cli.c | 4342 ++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_internals.h | 814 +++- drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_link.c | 98 + drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_mempool.c | 103 + drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_pipeline.c | 966 +++++ drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_swq.c | 113 + drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_tap.c | 118 + drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_thread.c | 2929 +++++++++++++ drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_tm.c | 173 +- ...nic_version.map => rte_eth_softnic_version.map} | 6 + mk/rte.app.mk | 6 + 31 files changed, 12236 insertions(+), 1032 deletions(-) rename app/test-pmd/{tm.c => softnicfwd.c} (61%) create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/conn.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/conn.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/firmware.cli create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/hash_func.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/hash_func_arm64.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/parser.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/parser.h create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_action.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_cli.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_link.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_mempool.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_pipeline.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_swq.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_tap.c create mode 100644 drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_thread.c rename drivers/net/softnic/{rte_pmd_softnic_version.map => rte_eth_softnic_version.map} (52%)
