[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] virtio: fix allocating virtnet_rx not mem aligned

[Jianfeng Tan <jianfeng.tan@intel.com>]

Compile DPDK with clang, below line in virtio_rxtx.c could be
optimized with four "VMOVAPS ymm, m256".
  memset(&rxvq->fake_mbuf, 0, sizeof(rxvq->fake_mbuf));

This instruction requires memory address is 32-byte aligned.
Or, it leads to segfault. Although only tested with Clang 3.6.0,
it can be reproduced in any compilers, which do aggressive
optimization, aka, change memset of known length to VMOVAPS.

The fact that struct rte_mbuf is cache line aligned, can only make
sure fake_mbuf is aligned compared to the start address of struct
virtnet_rx. Unfortunately, this address is not necessarily aligned
because it's allocated by:
  rxvq = (struct virtnet_rx *)RTE_PTR_ADD(vq, sz_vq);

When sz_vq is not aligned, then rxvq cannot be allocated with an
aligned address, and then rxvq->fake_mbuf (addr of rxvq + cache line
size) is not an aligned address.

The fix is very simple that making sz_vq 32-byte aligned. Here we
make it cache line aligned for future optimization.
