[RFC,v2] eventdev: event tx adapter APIs

Add common APIs for the transmit stage of an event driven
DPDK application. Also add a transmit queue field to the mbuf
that is used by the adapter to transmit mbufs.

Hi Folks,

Did you get a chance to review v2 ? Please let me know your feedback so 
I can proceed towards implementation.

Thanks,
Nikhil

Overall it looks good. Some comments inline. I think you can change it
from RFC and send the implementation.

Please split mbuf changes in a separate patch.

> + *
> + * RTE Event Ethernet Tx Adapter
> + *
> + * The event ethernet Tx adapter provides configuration and data path APIs
> + * for the transmit stage of an event driven packet processing application.
> + * These APIs abstract the implementation of the transmit stage and allow the

s/transmit stage/ethernet transmit stage/

> + * the application to use eventdev PMD support or a common implementation.
> + *
> + * In the common implementation, the application uses the adapter API to
> + * enqueue mbufs to the adapter which runs as a rte_service function. The
> + * service function deqeueues events from its event port and transmits the

s/deqeueues/dequeues

> + * mbufs referenced by these events.
> + *
> + * The ethernet Tx event adapter APIs are:
> + *
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_create()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_create_ext()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_free()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_start()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_stop()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_start()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_stop()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_stats_get()
> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_stats_reset()
> + *
> + * The application creates the adapter using
> + * rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_create(). The adapter may internally create an event
> + * port using the port configuration parameter.
> + * The adapter is responsible for linking the queue as per its implementation,
> + * for example in the case of the service function, the adapter links this queue
> + * to the event port it will dequeue events from.
> + *
> + * The application uses rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue() to send mbufs to the
> + * adaptervia this event queue. The ethernet port and transmit queue index to

s/adaptervia/adapter via

> + * transmit the mbuf on are specified in the mbuf.
> + *
> + * The application can start and stop the adapter using the
> + * rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_start/stop() calls.
> + *
> + * To support dynamic reconfiguration of Tx queues, the application can
> + * call rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_start()/stop() to synchronize
> + * access to the Tx queue with the adapter. For example, if the application
> + * wants to reconfigure a Tx queue that could be concurrently
> + * being accessed by the adapter, it calls rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_stop()
> + * first, reconfigures the queue and then calls
> + * rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_start() which signals to the adapter
> + * that it is safe to resume access to the Tx queue.
> + *
> + * The common adapter implementation uses an EAL service function as described
> + * before and its execution is controlled using the rte_service APIs. The
> + * rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_service_id_get()
> + * function can be used to retrieve the adapter's service function ID.

How about changing to to rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_add to inline
with Rx adapter?

Should we change to rte_pktmbuf_tx_adapter_txq to make it explicit that

>> + *
>> + * RTE Event Ethernet Tx Adapter
>> + *
>> + * The event ethernet Tx adapter provides configuration and data path APIs
>> + * for the transmit stage of an event driven packet processing application.
>> + * These APIs abstract the implementation of the transmit stage and allow the
> s/transmit stage/ethernet transmit stage/
>
>> + * the application to use eventdev PMD support or a common implementation.
>> + *
>> + * In the common implementation, the application uses the adapter API to
>> + * enqueue mbufs to the adapter which runs as a rte_service function. The
>> + * service function deqeueues events from its event port and transmits the
> s/deqeueues/dequeues
>
>> + * mbufs referenced by these events.
>> + *
>> + * The ethernet Tx event adapter APIs are:
>> + *
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_create()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_create_ext()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_free()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_start()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_stop()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_start()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_stop()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_stats_get()
>> + *  - rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_stats_reset()
>> + *
>> + * The application creates the adapter using
>> + * rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_create(). The adapter may internally create an event
>> + * port using the port configuration parameter.
>> + * The adapter is responsible for linking the queue as per its implementation,
>> + * for example in the case of the service function, the adapter links this queue
>> + * to the event port it will dequeue events from.
>> + *
>> + * The application uses rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue() to send mbufs to the
>> + * adaptervia this event queue. The ethernet port and transmit queue index to
> s/adaptervia/adapter via
>
>> + * transmit the mbuf on are specified in the mbuf.
>> + *
>> + * The application can start and stop the adapter using the
>> + * rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_start/stop() calls.
>> + *
>> + * To support dynamic reconfiguration of Tx queues, the application can
>> + * call rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_start()/stop() to synchronize
>> + * access to the Tx queue with the adapter. For example, if the application
>> + * wants to reconfigure a Tx queue that could be concurrently
>> + * being accessed by the adapter, it calls rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_stop()
>> + * first, reconfigures the queue and then calls
>> + * rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_queue_start() which signals to the adapter
>> + * that it is safe to resume access to the Tx queue.
>> + *
>> + * The common adapter implementation uses an EAL service function as described
>> + * before and its execution is controlled using the rte_service APIs. The
>> + * rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_service_id_get()
>> + * function can be used to retrieve the adapter's service function ID.
