  Add a new PMD driver for AF_XDP which is a proposed faster version of
AF_PACKET interface in Linux. More info about AF_XDP, please refer to [1]
[2].

This is the vanilla version PMD which just uses a raw buffer registered as
the umem.

You need a similar change in drivers/net/meson.build

You need to add a dependency() on libbpf, and given upstream doesn't
ship a pkg-config file yet a fallback to find_library, so that the pmd
can be linked against it.
Check other PMDs to see how dependencies are handled, like
drivers/net/pcap/meson.build

Are symbols from libelf being used by the PMD?

Minor nit: you don't need to check for NULL free() already handles this.

The PMD log type is being phased out. I plan to mark it as deprecated.
All new drivers must use their own log types (see other every other device driver
for how to do this).

Hmm, it is a leftover of RFC, libelf is no longer needed in this version, will
remove it in next version.

ethdev stats are uint64_t, why declare those internal stats as unsigned

q_errors[] are for reception errors, see the patchset I sent:
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2019-March/125703.html

If you want per queue stats, use xstats.
You can still account those errors in the global stats->oerrors below.

Ooops, my bad, will swith to 19.05 in next version.

You are right, should use uint64_t instead.

Why it is not enabled in linux config (config/common_linuxapp)? Is it because of
the external library dependencies?
I guess there is a requirement to the specific Linux kernel version, can it be
possible to detect it in Makefile and enable/disable according this information?

Can you please give more details of what exact vanilla kernel version?

Is there a specific version of libbpf for this?
I can see in makefile, libelf is also linked, is it a dependency?

Getting an build error for this [1], can there be any include path param missing?

'ETH_AF_XDP_MAX_QUEUE_PAIRS' is '16' but you are forcing the max Rx/Tx queue
number to be '1', intentional?

There is a patch from David, which points the 'q_errors' is for Rx only:

Should we set freed pointers to 'null'?

Should free 'umem->buf_ring' before freeing 'umem'?

if 'mb_pool' is 'null', it will crash in 'rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()' before
coming here, I think we can drop this check.

This check already done in 'rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()' shouldn't need to be done
here.

Can skip the check, same as above.

It is better to use 'rte_kvargs_process()' instead of accessing the 'kvargs'
internals.

What do you think moving this call into 'rte_pmd_af_xdp_probe' function if
'init_internals' returns sucess instead of setting here?

This 'queue_idx' is for interface queue to pass to xsk_* API, also we have same
variable name 'queue_idx' that we use for DPDK queue index, they get confused
easily, what do you think rename this one something like 'xsk_queue_idx'?

This frees the 'eth_dev->data->dev_private', (internals), it can be problem to
try to free same pointer twice.

Yes, af_xdp pmd is dependent on libbpf which is not included in any linux distribution yet.

libbpf should be included in kernel 5.1 release.

Ok, I'll investigate how to do it.

Do you mean I should write more details about AF_XDP in kernel in this introduction 
document?

I'm not aware that there is specific version number for libbpf, it's part of linux
kernel src code.

libelf is a leftover of RFC, will delete it in next version.

Yes, it need something like 

CFLAGS += -I/root/yexl/shared_mks0/linux/tools/include

as in above Makefile currently.

Yes, current implementation is single queue only, we plan to support muli-queues

Good catch, will add free buf_ring.

Part of af_xdp pmd is refering to af_packet pmd, this is a simple copy from that
driver, and as you point out, it should be unnecessary, will remove it.

If it is coming with Linux kernel, which version of Linux kernel?

I see, assuming you will be booting up with that kernel, can something like
below work:

Correction, libelf is needed for libbpf, so we still need to keep it.

Correction, libbpf depends on libelf, so I still need to keep it.

If libbpf needs libelf for its internal usage, it should be linked
against it itself. Unless symbols from libelf are used in static
functions defined in libbpf's public headers. Is this the case?

Yes, that's the case. without the libelf, it would have build error as below,
and these symbols are used in static functions of libbpf.

Looking at that list, at least the very first symbol is not used by a
public header, but internally in libbpf:

$ grep -r elf_nextscn
libbpf.c:	while ((scn = elf_nextscn(elf, scn)) != NULL) {

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bpf/bpf-next.git/tree/tools/lib/bpf/libbpf.c#n793

None of those symbols are used from the public headers:

$ grep elf_ bpf.h libbpf.h btf.h
$

Therefore, this is an omission in libbpf's Makefile, as it must link
against libelf. Please raise a ticket or send a patch upstream, and
remove the -lelf from DPDK's makefiles.

As it may need sometime for kernel community to handle the libbpf's Makefile, 
We may still need the -lelf for af_xdp pmd currently, I'll remove it later after
libbpf correct to link against libelf. Is it acceptable?

I think so.

+AF_XDP Poll Mode Driver
+==========================
+
+AF_XDP is an address family that is optimized for high performance
+packet processing. AF_XDP sockets enable the possibility for XDP program to
+redirect packets to a memory buffer in userspace.
+
+For the full details behind AF_XDP socket, you can refer to
+`AF_XDP documentation in the Kernel
+<https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/af_xdp.rst>`_.
+
+This Linux-specific PMD driver creates the AF_XDP socket and binds it to a
+specific netdev queue, it allows a DPDK application to send and receive raw
+packets through the socket which would bypass the kernel network stack.
+
+Options
+-------
+
+The following options can be provided to set up an af_xdp port in DPDK.
+
+*   ``iface`` - name of the Kernel interface to attach to (required);
+*   ``queue`` - netdev queue id (optional, default 0);
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+This is a Linux-specific PMD, thus the following prerequisites apply:
+
+*  A Linux Kernel with XDP sockets configuration enabled;
+*  libbpf with latest af_xdp support installed
+*  A Kernel bound interface to attach to.
+
+Set up an af_xdp interface
+-----------------------------
+
+The following example will set up an af_xdp interface in DPDK:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    --vdev eth_af_xdp,iface=ens786f1,queue=0
