[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 00/12] mbuf: enhancements of mbuf clones

[Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>]

The first objective of this series is to fix the support of indirect
mbufs when the application reserves a private area in mbufs. It also
removes the limitation that rte_pktmbuf_clone() is only allowed on
direct (non-cloned) mbufs. The series also contains some enhancements
and fixes in the mbuf area that makes the implementation of the
last patches easier.

Changes in v4:
- do not add a priv_size in mbuf structure, having a proper accessor
  to read it from the pool private area is clearer
- prepend some reworks in the mbuf area to simplify the implementation
  (fix mbuf initialization by not using a hardcoded mbuf size, add
  accessors for mbuf pool private area, add a helper to create a
  mbuf pool)

Changes in v3:
- a mbuf can now attach to another one that have a different private
  size. In this case, the m->priv_size corresponds to the size of the
  private area of the direct mbuf.
- add comments to reflect these changes
- minor style modifications

Changes in v2:
- do not change the use of MBUF_EXT_MEM() in vhost
- change rte_mbuf_from_baddr() to rte_mbuf_from_indirect(), removing
  one parameter
- fix and rework rte_pktmbuf_detach()
- move m->priv_size in second mbuf cache line
- fix mbuf free in test error case


Olivier Matz (12):
  mbuf: fix mbuf data room size calculation rte_pktmbuf_pool_init
  examples: always initialize mbuf_pool private area
  mbuf: add accessors to get data room size and private size
  mbuf: fix rte_pktmbuf_init when mbuf private size is not zero
  testpmd: use standard functions to initialize mbufs and mbuf pool
  mbuf: introduce a new helper to create a mbuf pool
  apps: use rte_pktmbuf_pool_create to create mbuf pools
  mbuf: fix clone support when application uses private mbuf data
  mbuf: allow to clone an indirect mbuf
  test/mbuf: rename mc variable in m
  test/mbuf: enhance mbuf refcnt test
  test/mbuf: verify that cloning a clone works properly
