This patch converts the NIC feature table in the overview doc into a set of
ini files and adds some functions into the Sphinx conf.py file to convert them
back into an RST table.

The reason for doing this is to make it easier for PMD maintainers to update
the feature matrix that makes up the table and to avoid frequent and hard to
resolve conflicts in doc/guides/nics/overview.rst.

A NIC/PMD feature matrix is now an ini file like the following:

    $ head doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e.ini
    ;
    ; Features of the i40e network driver.
    ;
    [Features]
    Speed capabilities   =
    Link status          = Y
    Link status event    = Y
    Queue status event   =
    Rx interrupt         = Y
    Queue start/stop     = Y
    ...

The output RST table matches the existing table with the column headers
sorted.

Notes:

* In order to avoid the merge conflict issue noted above the RST table is now
  in an external RST include file and excluded from the repo via .gitignore.

* The order of the features in the table is controlled by a 'default.ini'
  file. This also determines what are the allowable features in all other ini
  files. This also catches typos or non-default new entries.

* Blank entries in the PMD ini files are optional. They will get a default
  blank entry in the RST table based on the entries in the default.ini file.
  The ini files in this patch were generated programmatically from the
  original RST table.

* I tried to put the Python code in a sub-module called from the Sphinx conf.py
  but I could only get that to work in Sphinx 1.4.4. So, for now, the code has
  been added to conf.py.

* I would like to extend this to produce a pure Html table with rotated column
  headers like this: https://css-tricks.com/rotated-table-column-headers/
  I tried to get this to work within the current RST + CSS preamble but
  failed.

* I would also like to extend this to produce a table, or more likely a number
  of tables, that would display the same information in the PDF document
  without going off the page.

Convert the NIC feature table in the overview doc into a set of ini
files and add functions into the Sphinx conf.py file to auto-generate
them back into an RST table.

The reason for doing this is to make it easier for PMD maintainers to
update the feature matrix that makes up the table and to avoid
frequent and hard to resolve conflicts in
doc/guides/nics/overview.rst.

A NIC/PMD feature matrix is now an ini file like the following:

    $ head doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e.ini
    ;
    ; Features of the i40e network driver.
    ;
    [Features]
    Speed capabilities   =
    Link status          = Y
    Link status event    = Y
    Queue status event   =
    Rx interrupt         = Y
    Queue start/stop     = Y
    ...

The output RST table matches the existing table with the column
headers sorted.

Great idea!

Would it be possible to make it a bit more generic and reusable to
generate other tables of this kind?

It would be better to generate the rst file in the build directory.
But I guess it makes sphinx build more difficult.

I don't think there is a benefit to have blank entries in the .ini file.
And there would be less conflicts if the guideline was to avoid blank entries
when adding a new feature.

Nice

PDF output is restrictive :)

> Great idea!

Yes, indeed!

The old formats also make the review hard (due to the long/messy diff).
I was also kidding/wishing before that it'd be great if we could have a
column-based diff file. With your proposal, we don't need it any more :)

It would be possible (in the technical sense) but probably not worth the
effort. :-)

I can generate a set of ini files without blank entries if that is the
preference.  For some PMDs that will mean that there are no entries in
the file, apart from the heading, but I guess that is okay.  I'll change
that in v2.

Yes, and the PDF infrastructure is a bit of a pain but we still get a lot
of people in the field who like them and ask for them after releases.

Maybe they read them on the beach, on holidays.

Convert the NIC feature table in the overview doc into a set of ini
files and add functions into the Sphinx conf.py file to auto-generate
them back into an RST table.

The reason for doing this is to make it easier for PMD maintainers to
update the feature matrix that makes up the table and to avoid
frequent and hard to resolve conflicts in doc/guides/nics/overview.rst.

A NIC/PMD feature matrix is now an ini file like the following:

    $ head doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e.ini
    ;
    ; Features of the i40e network driver.
    ;
    [Features]
    Link status          = Y
    Link status event    = Y
    Rx interrupt         = Y
    Queue start/stop     = Y
    ...

The output RST table matches the existing table with the column
headers sorted.

v2:
* Updated to latest version of the nic overview table.
* Removed blank entries from the ini file.

Convert the NIC feature table in the overview doc into a set of ini
files and add functions into the Sphinx conf.py file to auto-generate
them back into an RST table.

The reason for doing this is to make it easier for PMD maintainers to
update the feature matrix that makes up the table and to avoid
frequent and hard to resolve conflicts in doc/guides/nics/overview.rst.

A NIC/PMD feature matrix is now an ini file like the following:

    $ head doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e.ini
    ;
    ; Features of the i40e network driver.
    ;
    [Features]
    Link status          = Y
    Link status event    = Y
    Rx interrupt         = Y
    Queue start/stop     = Y
    ...

The output RST table matches the existing table with the column
headers sorted.

I forgot to add the annotations:

v3:
* Updated to latest version of the nic overview table.

v2:
* Updated to latest version of the nic overview table.
* Removed blank entries from the ini file.

Hi John,

2016-07-29 12:59, John McNamara:

I have not reviewed the Python code which generate the RST table.
It works so it could be applied as is.

Yes thanks for the work.

My main concern before applying this patch, is the name of the files:

>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/fm10k.ini       |  34 ++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/fm10k_vec.ini   |  34 ++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/fm10k_vf.ini    |  28 +++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/fm10kvf_vec.ini |  28 +++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e.ini        |  47 ++++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e_vec.ini    |  39 +++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40e_vf.ini     |  36 +++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/i40evf_vec.ini  |  28 +++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/igb.ini         |  44 ++++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/igb_vf.ini      |  27 +++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/ixgbe.ini       |  54 ++++++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/ixgbe_vec.ini   |  46 ++++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/ixgbe_vf.ini    |  37 +++++++
>  doc/guides/nics/nic_features/ixgbevf_vec.ini |  29 +++++

It would be more consistent to always put an underscore before vf.

About the directory, I suggest doc/guides/nics/features/.

Other small nit: there is a typo in every files: availble -> available.

It would be nice to start the 16.11 cycle with this change and make sure we
won't change the filenames later in the cycle. So we can start sending
some patches without risking a conflict.
Thanks

Those changes you propose seem reasonable to me. Having this table as ini files
will be a big help in reducing merge conflicts!

As John is not available for some days, I've decided to make the
above suggested changes.

Applied, thanks
