[PATCH v3 4/5] ring/soring: introduce Staged Ordered Ring

[Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.v.ananyev@yandex.ru>]

From: Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@huawei.com>

Staged-Ordered-Ring (SORING) provides a SW abstraction for 'ordered' queues
with multiple processing 'stages'.
It is based on conventional DPDK rte_ring, re-uses many of its concepts,
and even substantial part of its code.
It can be viewed as an 'extension' of rte_ring functionality.
In particular, main SORING properties:
- circular ring buffer with fixed size objects
- producer, consumer plus multiple processing stages in the middle.
- allows to split objects processing into multiple stages.
- objects remain in the same ring while moving from one stage to the other,
  initial order is preserved, no extra copying needed.
- preserves the ingress order of objects within the queue across multiple
  stages, i.e.:
  at the same stage multiple threads can process objects from the ring in
  any order, but for the next stage objects will always appear in the
  original order.
- each stage (and producer/consumer) can be served by single and/or
  multiple threads.
- number of stages, size and number of objects in the ring are
  configurable at ring initialization time.

Data-path API provides four main operations:
- enqueue/dequeue works in the same manner as for conventional rte_ring,
  all rte_ring synchronization types are supported.
- acquire/release - for each stage there is an acquire (start) and
  release (finish) operation.
  after some objects are 'acquired' - given thread can safely assume that
  it has exclusive possession of these objects till 'release' for them is
  invoked.
  Note that right now user has to release exactly the same number of
  objects that was acquired before.
  After 'release', objects can be 'acquired' by next stage and/or dequeued
  by the consumer (in case of last stage).

Expected use-case: applications that uses pipeline model
(probably with multiple stages) for packet processing, when preserving
incoming packet order is important. I.E.: IPsec processing, etc.

+/**
+ * @file
+ * This file contains implementation of SORING 'datapath' functions.
+ * Brief description:
+ * ==================
+ * enqueue/dequeue works the same as for conventional rte_ring:
+ * any rte_ring sync types can be used, etc.
+ * Plus there could be multiple 'stages'.
+ * For each stage there is an acquire (start) and release (finish) operation.
+ * After some elems are 'acquired' - user can safely assume that he has
+ * exclusive possession of these elems till 'release' for them is done.
+ * Note that right now user has to release exactly the same number of elems
+ * he acquired before.
+ * After 'release', elems can be 'acquired' by next stage and/or dequeued
+ * (in case of last stage).
+ * Internal structure:
+ * ===================
+ * In addition to 'normal' ring of elems, it also has a ring of states of the
+ * same size. Each state[] corresponds to exactly one elem[].
+ * state[] will be used by acquire/release/dequeue functions to store internal
+ * information and should not be accessed by the user directly.
+ * How it works:
+ * =============
+ * 'acquire()' just moves stage's head (same as rte_ring move_head does),
+ * plus it saves in state[stage.cur_head] information about how many elems
+ * were acquired, current head position and special flag value to indicate
+ * that elems are acquired (RTE_SORING_ST_START).
+ * Note that 'acquire()' returns to the user a special 'ftoken' that user has
+ * to provide for 'release()' (in fact it is just a position for current head).
+ * 'release()' extracts old head value from provided ftoken and checks that
+ * corresponding 'state[]' contains expected values(mostly for sanity
+ * purposes).
+ * * Then it marks this state[] with 'RTE_SORING_ST_FINISH' flag to indicate
+ * that given subset of objects was released.
+ * After that, it checks does old head value equals to current tail value?
+ * If yes, then it performs  'finalize()' operation, otherwise 'release()'
+ * just returns (without spinning on stage tail value).
+ * As updated state[] is shared by all threads, some other thread can do
+ * 'finalize()' for given stage.
+ * That allows 'release()' to avoid excessive waits on the tail value.
+ * Main purpose of 'finalize()' operation is to walk through 'state[]'
+ * from current stage tail up to its head, check state[] and move stage tail
+ * through elements that already are in RTE_SORING_ST_FINISH state.
+ * Along with that, corresponding state[] values are reset to zero.
+ * Note that 'finalize()' for given stage can be done from multiple places:
+ * 'release()' for that stage or from 'acquire()' for next stage
+ * even from consumer's 'dequeue()' - in case given stage is the last one.
+ * So 'finalize()' has to be MT-safe and inside it we have to
+ * guarantee that only one thread will update state[] and stage's tail values.
