    "content": "Note: no changes in cover letter since v2.\n\nThis patchset implements basic MM with the following features:\n\n* Hugepages are dynamically allocated in user-mode.\n* Only 2MB hugepages are supported.\n* IOVA is always PA, obtained through kernel-mode driver.\n* No 32-bit support (presumably not demanded).\n* Ni multi-process support (it is forcefully disabled).\n* No-huge mode for testing with IOVA unavailable.\n\n\nThe first commit introduces a new kernel-mode driver, virt2phys.\nIt translates user-mode virtual addresses into physical addresses.\nOn Windows community call 2020-04-01 it was decided this driver can be\nused for now, later netUIO may pick up its code/interface or not.\n\n\nNew EAL public functions for memory mapping are introduced\nto mitigate OS differences in DPDK libraries and applications:\n\n* rte_mem_map\n* rte_mem_unmap\n* rte_mem_lock\n\nTo support common MM routines, internal wrappers for low-level\nmemory reservation and file management are introduced. These changes\naffect Linux and FreeBSD EAL. Shared code is placed unded /unix/\nsubdirectory (suggested by Thomas).\n\nAlso, entire <sys/queue.h> is imported from FreeBSD, replacing existing\npartial import. There is already a license exception for this file.\n\n\nWindows MM duplicates quite a lot of code from Linux EAL:\n\n* eal_memalloc_alloc_seg_bulk\n* eal_memalloc_free_seg_bulk\n* calc_num_pages_per_socket\n* rte_eal_hugepage_init\n\nPerhaps this should be left as-is until Windows MM evolves into having\nsome specific requirements for these parts.\n\n\nNotes on checkpatch warnings:\n\n* No space after comma / no space before closing parent in macros---\n  definitely a false-positive, unclear how to suppress this.\n\n* Issues from imported BSD code---probably should be ignored?\n\n* Checkpatch is not run against dpdk-kmods (Windows drivers).\n\n---\n\nv3:\n\n    * Fix Linux build on and aarch64 and 32-bit x86 (reported by CI).\n    * Fix logic and error handling while allocating segments.\n    * Fix Unix rte_mem_map(): return NULL on failure.\n    * Fix some checkpatch.sh issues:\n        * Do not return positive errno, use DWORD for GetLastError().\n        * Make dpdk-kmods source files non-executable.\n    * Improve GSG for Windows Server (suggested by Ranjit Menon).\n\nv2:\n\n    * Rebase on ToT. Move all new code shared between Linux and FreeBSD\n      to /unix/ subdirectory, also factor out some existing code there.\n    * Improve description of Clang issue with rte_page_sizes on Windows.\n      Restore -fstrict-enum for EAL. Check running, not target compiler.\n    * Use EAL prefix for private facilities instead if RTE.\n    * Improve documentation comments for new functions.\n    * Remove co-installer for virt2phys. Add a typecast for clarity.\n    * Document virt2phys in user guide, improve its own README.\n    * Explicitly and forcefully disable multi-process.\n\nDmitry Kozlyuk (9):\n  eal/windows: do not expose private EAL facilities\n  eal/windows: improve CPU and NUMA node detection\n  eal/windows: initialize hugepage info\n  eal: introduce internal wrappers for file operations\n  eal: introduce memory management wrappers\n  eal: extract common code for memseg list initialization\n  eal/windows: fix rte_page_sizes with Clang on Windows\n  eal/windows: replace sys/queue.h with a complete one from FreeBSD\n  eal/windows: implement basic memory management\n\n config/meson.build                            |   12 +-\n doc/guides/windows_gsg/build_dpdk.rst         |   20 -\n doc/guides/windows_gsg/index.rst              |    1 +\n doc/guides/windows_gsg/run_apps.rst           |   84 ++\n lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_fbarray.c    |   57 +-\n lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_memory.c     |  104 +-\n lib/librte_eal/common/eal_private.h           |  134 +-\n lib/librte_eal/common/malloc_heap.c           |    1 +\n lib/librte_eal/common/meson.build             |    9 +\n lib/librte_eal/freebsd/eal_memory.c           |   55 +-\n lib/librte_eal/include/rte_memory.h           |   74 ++\n lib/librte_eal/linux/eal_memory.c             |   68 +-\n lib/librte_eal/meson.build                    |    4 +\n lib/librte_eal/rte_eal_exports.def            |  119 ++\n lib/librte_eal/rte_eal_version.map            |    4 +\n lib/librte_eal/unix/eal.c                     |   47 +\n lib/librte_eal/unix/eal_memory.c              |  113 ++\n lib/librte_eal/unix/meson.build               |    7 +\n lib/librte_eal/windows/eal.c                  |  160 +++\n lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_hugepages.c        |  108 ++\n lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_lcore.c            |  187 ++-\n lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_memalloc.c         |  418 ++++++\n lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_memory.c           | 1141 +++++++++++++++++\n lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_mp.c               |  103 ++\n lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_thread.c           |    1 +\n lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_windows.h          |  129 ++\n lib/librte_eal/windows/include/meson.build    |    2 +\n lib/librte_eal/windows/include/pthread.h      |    2 +\n lib/librte_eal/windows/include/rte_os.h       |   48 +-\n .../windows/include/rte_virt2phys.h           |   34 +\n lib/librte_eal/windows/include/rte_windows.h  |   43 +\n lib/librte_eal/windows/include/sys/queue.h    |  663 +++++++++-\n lib/librte_eal/windows/include/unistd.h       |    3 +\n lib/librte_eal/windows/meson.build            |    6 +\n 34 files changed, 3611 insertions(+), 350 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 doc/guides/windows_gsg/run_apps.rst\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/unix/eal.c\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/unix/eal_memory.c\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/unix/meson.build\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_hugepages.c\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_memalloc.c\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_memory.c\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_mp.c\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/windows/eal_windows.h\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/windows/include/rte_virt2phys.h\n create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/windows/include/rte_windows.h"
