[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/15] dpdk: Separate compile time linkage between eal lib and pmd's

[Neil Horman]

Disconnect compile time linkage between eal library / applications and pmd's

I noticed that, while tinkering with dpdk, building for shared libraries still
resulted in all the test applications linking to all the built pmd's, despite
not actually needing them all.  We are able to tell an application at run time
(via the -d/--blacklist/--whitelist/--vdev options) which pmd's we want to use,
and so have no need to link them at all. The only reason they get pulled in is
because rte_eal_non_pci_init_etherdev and rte_pmd_init_all contain static lists
to the individual pmd init functions. The result is that, even when building as
DSO's, we have to load all the pmd libraries, which is space inefficient and
defeating of some of the purpose of shared objects.

To correct this, I developed this patch series, which introduces a new macro,
PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER, which wraps up Oliviers work using constructors on the
virtual device pmds, then expands on it to include the physical device pmds,
allowing us to break linkages between dpdk applications and pmd's almost
entirely (save for the ring and xenvirt drivers, which have additional api's
outside of the standard dpdk code that we need to further fix).  This also
allows us to completely remove the rte_pmd_init_all routine, hiding its function
internally to the rte_eal_init path. 

I've tested this feature using the igb and pcap pmd's, both statically and
dynamically linked with the test and testpmd sample applications, and it seems
to work well.

Note, I encountered  a few bugs along the way, which I fixed and noted in the
series.

Regards
Neil

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 01/15] makefiles: Fixed -share command line option error

[Neil Horman]

The shared libraries built with the current makefile set produce static
libraries rather than actual shared objects.  This is due to several missing
options that are required to correctly build shared objects using ld, as well as
a mis-specified -share option (which should be -shared). Switching to the use of
CC rather than LD and fixing the -shared option corrects these problems and
builds the DSOs correctly.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 02/15] make: include whole archive on static link

[Neil Horman]

This happens automatically on dyanmic linking, but when linking an archive we
need to to include the whole archive to make sure we call all the constructors.
Not doing this causes them to be discarded due to the fact theres no symbolic
reference connecting the pmds to the application.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 03/15] pmd: Add PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro

[Neil Horman]

Rather than have each driver have to remember to add a constructor to it to make
sure its gets registered properly, wrap that process up in a macro to make
registration a one line affair.  This also sets the stage for us to make
registration of vdev pmds and physical pmds a uniform process

[Neil Horman]

convert the pcap driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the
Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the pcap library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 05/15] ring: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the ring driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the
Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the ring library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

Note that the ring driver was also written in such a way that it violated some
general layering principles, several functions were contained in the pmd which
were being called by example from the test application in the app/test
directory.  Specifically it was calling eth_ring_pair_attach,
eth_ring_pair_create and rte_eth_ring_devinit, which should only be called
internally to the dpdk core library.  To correct this I've removed those
functions, and instead allowed them to be called indirectly at initalization
time using the vdev command line argument key nodeaction=<name>:<node>:<action>
where action is one of ATTACH or CREATE.  I've tested out the functionality of
the command line with the testpmd utility, with success, and have removed the
called functions from the test utility.  This will affect how the test utility
is invoked (the -d and --vdev option will need to be specified on the command
line now), but honestly, given the way it was coded, I think the testing of the
ring pmd was not the best example of how to code with dpdk to begin with.  I
have also left the two layer violating functions in place, so as not to break
existing applications, but added deprecation warnings to them so that apps can
migrate off them.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 06/15] xenvirt: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the xenvirt driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the xenvirt library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

A few notes:

xenvirt was unbuildable as of commit 4c39baf297d10c217e7d3e7370f26a1fede58308..
That commit neglected to include the rte_vdev.h header, so several structs were
left undefined.  This patch includes a fix for that as well.

Also, The linkage for xenvirt is broken in much the same way pmd_ring was, in
that the xenvirt pmd has a function that is called directly from applications
(the example being the testpmd application).  The function is
rte_mempool_gntalloc_create, and should clearly be moved into the rte_mempool
library, with the supporting code in the function implementation moved to a new
xenvirt library separate from the pmd.  This is a large undertaking that
detracts from the purpose of this series however, and so for now, I'm leaving
the linkage to the application in place, and will address this issue in a later
series

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 07/15] eal: Make vdev init path generic for both virtual and physcial devices

[Neil Horman]

Currently, physical device pmds use a separate initalization path
(rte_pmd_init_all) while virtual devices use a constructor registration and
rte_eal_dev_init.  Theres no reason to have them be separate.  This patch
removes the vdev specific nomenclature from the vdev init path and makes it more
generic for use with all pmds.  This is the first step in converting the
physical device pmds to using the same constructor based registration path that
the virtual devices use

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 08/15] igb: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the igb pmd driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the igb library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 12/15] ixgbevf: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the ixgbevf pmd driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the ixgbevf library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 15/15] pmd: Remove rte_pmd_init_all

[Neil Horman]

Now that we've converted all the pmds in dpdk to use the driver registration
macro, rte_pmd_init_all has become empty.  As theres no reason to keep it around
anymore, just remove it and fix up all the eample callers.

Thanks for fixing -shared option.

Regarding switch to CC linking, please have a look at LINK_USING_CC option.
Maybe you should use it for rte.lib.mk and rte.sharelib.mk.

How does it conflict?  I've got it in my dpdk tree here, based off commit
396b69e56a3462ff80537deccebcdecb2771d8ca, which includes Oliviers patch, and
mine is applied on top of it cleanly.

It's not a git conflict.
I mean --whole-archive is set twice.
Maybe that your patch is not needed.

Are you sure this switch is needed?
You are removing it in patch 7.

If someone else think this macro is a good idea, or not, speak now :)

I don't understand your objection to it?  It makes for a nice clean
declaration, rather than error-prone cut-n-pasted boilerplate code
in every driver.  Even more benefits accrue if/when the constructors
need to be changed...

Because its a one line declaration inside a driver function that points to the
structure used to initilze the pmd?  Having to append ((__constructor__)) to
each initalization function is both error prone during entry and exposes the
possibiilty of developers doing "too much" in their constructor.  It also allows
for easy updating to all drivers, if additional boilerplate work needs to be
done in the future for all pmds.

I think you answered your own question :).  It was needed when this patch was
written because the physical pmd regitration differed from the virtual pmd.  As
you note though, its removed in patch 7 because we merged the registration
methods.  Could I merge them earlier?  sure, but its not at all needed.  It
works in this invocation, and it works (better in the final version at the end
of the series).

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 01/15 v2] makefiles: Fixed -share command line option error

[Neil Horman]

The shared libraries built with the current makefile set produce static
libraries rather than actual shared objects.  This is due to several missing
options that are required to correctly build shared objects using ld, as well as
a mis-specified -share option (which should be -shared). Switching to the use of
CC rather than LD and fixing the -shared option corrects these problems and
builds the DSOs correctly.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 05/15 v2] ring: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the ring driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the
Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the ring library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

Note that the ring driver was also written in such a way that it violated some
general layering principles, several functions were contained in the pmd which
were being called by example from the test application in the app/test
directory.  Specifically it was calling eth_ring_pair_attach,
eth_ring_pair_create and rte_eth_ring_devinit, which should only be called
internally to the dpdk core library.  To correct this I've removed those
functions, and instead allowed them to be called indirectly at initalization
time using the vdev command line argument key nodeaction=<name>:<node>:<action>
where action is one of ATTACH or CREATE.  I've tested out the functionality of
the command line with the testpmd utility, with success, and have removed the
called functions from the test utility.  This will affect how the test utility
is invoked (the -d and --vdev option will need to be specified on the command
line now), but honestly, given the way it was coded, I think the testing of the
ring pmd was not the best example of how to code with dpdk to begin with.  I
have also left the two layer violating functions in place, so as not to break
existing applications, but added deprecation warnings to them so that apps can
migrate off them.

Even if it's not critical, in my opinion, the following code is easier
to understand:

	__attribute__((constructor))
	static void
	rte_pmd_ring_init(void)
	{
		rte_eal_dev_driver_register(&pmd_ring_drv);
	}

Than:

	PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER(pmd_ring_drv);


The first version explicitly shows what you are doing: defining a
static function called at initialization that registers a driver
structure.

With the second, we're tempted to check what this macro does...


My 2 cents,
Olivier

Which you will do once, and then forever be thankful that ever after
you will only have to read the simple macro rather than all that
nasty boilerplate and __attribute__ gorp...

Ok, so look it up.  DPDK is open source and cscope is easy to use.  A
module initilization macro is a common method for doing init time binding in
modular programming (the best examples are the module_init() and module_exit()
macros in the linux kernel).  It wraps up what you need to do to tie a modular
piece of your software into the larger main component, without having to know
all the boilerplate behind it.

Also, if you expose the use of the constructor, then you've
broken out the initalization phase to every pmd you implement, and as a result,
if you ever need to add code to the initilization step, you have to add it in
every pmd, instead of just updating the macro.


The bottom line is, your method is 5 lines of boilerplate code thats going to
have to get repeated as nauseum for every pmd that gets written giving every PMD
author the opportunity to miscode the constructor, vs my one line that, if it
compiles, will be correct every time.

OK, some of your arguments are legitimate and it's a detail point of
your patches that are globally a nice improvement of the DPDK code.

But I'd be happy to continue this discussion over a beer ;)

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 05/15] ring: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

Hi Neil,
Few comments from me there.
Thanks
Konstantin

- parse_kvlist():

1)
node = strchr(name, ':');
...
action = strchr(node, ':');

We can't expect that input parameter will always be  valid.
So need to check that strchr() doesn't return NULL.

2)
if (strcmp(action, "ATTACH"))
	if (strcmp(action, "CREATE"))
                   goto out;
...
info->list[info->count].action = strcmp(action, "ATTACH") ? DEV_CREATE : DEV_ATTACH;

Can you create a macros for these 2 string constants and use them instead.
Another thing, probably better to reorder it that way:

if (strcmp(action, "ATTACH") == 0)
      info->list[info->count].action = DEV_ATTACH;
else if (strcmp(action, "CREATE") == 0)
      info->list[info->count].action = DEV_CREATE;
else 
    goto out;

Would save you one strcmp() and looks a bit cleaner.

3)
info->list[info->count].node = strtol(node, NULL, 10);
Again we can't assume that input string will always be valid.
Something like that should do, I think:

char *end;
...
errno = 0;
info->list[info->count].node = strtoul(node, &end, 10);
if (errno != 0 || *end != 0) {
   ret = -EINVAL;
   goto out;
}

4)
strncpy(info->list[info->count].name, name, PATH_MAX);
When RTE_INSECURE_FUNCTION_WARNING is defined,  strncpy() (and some other functions) are marked as poisoned.
Another thing - as I remember, if strlen(name) >= PATH_MAX, then destination string will not be null terminated.
So probably something like that instead:
rte_snprintf(info->list[info->count].name, sizeof(info->list[info->count].name), "%s", name);

- rte_pmd_ring_devinit():

5)
printf("Parsing kvargs\n"); 
Here and everywhere - please use RTE_LOG() instead.

Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 05/15] ring: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

convert the ring driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the ring library when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

Note that the ring driver was also written in such a way that it violated some general layering principles, several functions were contained in the pmd which were being called by example from the test application in the app/test directory.  Specifically it was calling eth_ring_pair_attach, eth_ring_pair_create and rte_eth_ring_devinit, which should only be called internally to the dpdk core library.  To correct this I've removed those functions, and instead allowed them to be called indirectly at initalization time using the vdev command line argument key nodeaction=<name>:<node>:<action> where action is one of ATTACH or CREATE.  I've tested out the functionality of the command line with the testpmd utility, with success, and have removed the called functions from the test utility.  This will affect how the test utility is invoked (the -d and --vdev option will need to be specified on the command line now), but honestly, given the way it was coded, I think the testing of the ring pmd was not the best example of how to code with dpdk to begin with.  I have also left the two layer violating functions in place, so as not to break existing applications, but added deprecation warnings to them so that apps can migrate off them.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 05/15 v3] ring: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the ring driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the
Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the ring library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

Note that the ring driver was also written in such a way that it violated some
general layering principles, several functions were contained in the pmd which
were being called by example from the test application in the app/test
directory.  Specifically it was calling eth_ring_pair_attach,
eth_ring_pair_create and rte_eth_ring_devinit, which should only be called
internally to the dpdk core library.  To correct this I've removed those
functions, and instead allowed them to be called indirectly at initalization
time using the vdev command line argument key nodeaction=<name>:<node>:<action>
where action is one of ATTACH or CREATE.  I've tested out the functionality of
the command line with the testpmd utility, with success, and have removed the
called functions from the test utility.  This will affect how the test utility
is invoked (the -d and --vdev option will need to be specified on the command
line now), but honestly, given the way it was coded, I think the testing of the
ring pmd was not the best example of how to code with dpdk to begin with.  I
have also left the two layer violating functions in place, so as not to break
existing applications, but added deprecation warnings to them so that apps can
migrate off them.

Change notes

v2) fixed DEPDIR specifcation, should depend on RING not PCAP

v3) Cleaned up strcmp error checking, printfs, and other parsing issues as
pointed out by Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@intel.com>

I think that CPU_LDFLAGS should be prefixed with -Wl, in case of CC linking.
So blindly assigning CC to LD variable seems a bad idea.
Other makefiles have different O_TO_S commands depending of LINK_USING_CC.

Why not using CC here whether LINK_USING_CC is enabled?

Feel free to send a v3 ;)

So you are creating a new header file for PMD API, right?

According to rte_ethdev.h,
"The Ethernet Device API is composed of two parts:"
"- The application-oriented Ethernet API"
"- The driver-oriented Ethernet API"

So we should implement this macro in rte_ethdev.h.
But maybe you prefer to split this file in two files. If so, please send a 
separated patch for that.

Thanks

Still "virtual" typo

Except typos, it seems a good step.
I think we could abstract more things in order to have even simpler API and 
simpler command line. But we'll see it in another step.

Actually I'm fine with moving the macro to another file, though if I do, I think
merging it into rte_dev.h is more appropriate, as thats where the driver
registration function lives.

I'm not sure to understand what you're saying.
My suggestion is to have 2 files in lib/librte_ether: 1 for application API 
and 1 for PMD API.

I'm not so sure about that.  Or more specifically, I wonder if some more rework
isn't needed here.  I say that because, while what you say makes sense in terms
of formatting the CPU_FLAGS variable for use with CC, the only current use of
CPU_LDFLAGS set -melf_i386, which IIRC is a gcc flag, not meant to be passed to
LD.  I can change the makefile to completely rewrite the comand based on
LINK_USING_CC, but it seems to me that CPU_LDFLAGS should not be passed in the
use of the LD case.  

thoughts?

I'm suggesting not having 2 files at all, and merging rte_pmd.h into into
rte_dev.h, which is where all the rest of the device registration code lives
already.  Does that make sense?

Right, -melf_i386 shouldn't be a LDFLAG.
Feel free to fix it.
By the way, It's cleaner to prepare -Wl prefixing and keep an empty LDFLAGS.

Oh yes, I didn't understand because you speak about rte_dev.h which is 
actually rte_ethdev.h.

I'm fine with keeping it. I just was wondering if it would be a cleaner API by 
splitting it as it has 2 very different roles.

Right, We're heading into a long weekend here.  On monday I'll clean this up by
separating the LD and CC commands based on LINK_USING_CC, and pass the proper
options to each.

No, its not.  Oliviers patch set introduced rte_dev.h to add the driver
registration functions.  I had rte_pmd.h separately since we were apparently
developing in parallel.  Since you accepted his, I'm fine with merging the one
macro in rte_pmd.h into his rte_dev.h header, since the functionality all goes
together there.

You've already got it split (rte_ethdev.h for ethernet interface registration,
and rte_dev.h for pmd driver registration).  The only reason rte_pmd.h still
exists is because thats what I had when I did my initial development.  The only
thing left to do is either merge the stuff in rte_dev.h into rte_pmd.h or merge
the stuff in rte_pmd.h into rte_dev.h.  Since rte_pmd.h only has one macro, it
seems merging it into rte_dev.h is more pragmatic.

Actually, I looked into this a bit more, turns out -melf_i386 is an LDFLAG.  Its
a bit silly to have it there because its passed automatically from the compiler
to the linker depending on the machine that gcc is building for, or ld does it
natively depending on the input file format.  But perhaps some compiler or
linker version has a bug where that doesn't happen properly.  Either way, it can
be prefixed with a -Wl, so I'm just going to leave it alone

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 00/14] dpdk: Separate compile time linkage between eal lib and pmd's

[Neil Horman]

Disconnect compile time linkage between eal library / applications and pmd's

I noticed that, while tinkering with dpdk, building for shared libraries still
resulted in all the test applications linking to all the built pmd's, despite
not actually needing them all.  We are able to tell an application at run time
(via the -d/--blacklist/--whitelist/--vdev options) which pmd's we want to use,
and so have no need to link them at all. The only reason they get pulled in is
because rte_eal_non_pci_init_etherdev and rte_pmd_init_all contain static lists
to the individual pmd init functions. The result is that, even when building as
DSO's, we have to load all the pmd libraries, which is space inefficient and
defeating of some of the purpose of shared objects.

To correct this, I developed this patch series, which introduces a new macro,
PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER, which wraps up Oliviers work using constructors on the
virtual device pmds, then expands on it to include the physical device pmds,
allowing us to break linkages between dpdk applications and pmd's almost
entirely (save for the ring and xenvirt drivers, which have additional api's
outside of the standard dpdk code that we need to further fix).  This also
allows us to completely remove the rte_pmd_init_all routine, hiding its function
internally to the rte_eal_init path.

I've tested this feature using the igb and pcap pmd's, both statically and
dynamically linked with the test and testpmd sample applications, and it seems
to work well.

Note, I encountered  a few bugs along the way, which I fixed and noted in the
series.

Regards
Neil

Change Notes:

1) Reposted the entire series.  Recent changes permeated accross several
patches, and since a few patches already had multiple versions, I've reposted
the entire series and bumped the version number to 5, whcih skips a few
versions, but ensures this series is seen as the most recent.

2) Merged the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro into rte_dev.h, which is a better
location for it.  Required removing include of rte_pmd.h across most of the
patches in the series.

3) Cleaned up various leftover "virtual" comments in the driver registration api
that no longer belong there after making it generic

4) Fixed the LINK_USING_CC check in rte.lib.mk so it works like other uses

5) Fixed CPU_LDFLAGS conversion to use -Wl in case we link with gcc.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 01/14] makefiles: Fixed -share command line option error

[Neil Horman]

The shared libraries built with the current makefile set produce static
libraries rather than actual shared objects.  This is due to several missing
options that are required to correctly build shared objects using ld, as well as
a mis-specified -share option (which should be -shared). Switching to the use of
CC rather than LD and fixing the -shared option corrects these problems and
builds the DSOs correctly.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 02/14] pmd: Add PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro

[Neil Horman]

Rather than have each driver have to remember to add a constructor to it to make
sure its gets registered properly, wrap that process up in a macro to make
registration a one line affair.  This also sets the stage for us to make
registration of vdev pmds and physical pmds a uniform process

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 03/14] pcap: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the pcap driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the
Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the pcap library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 04/14] ring: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the ring driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro and fix up the
Makefile so that its linkage is only done if we are building static libraries.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the ring library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

Note that the ring driver was also written in such a way that it violated some
general layering principles, several functions were contained in the pmd which
were being called by example from the test application in the app/test
directory.  Specifically it was calling eth_ring_pair_attach,
eth_ring_pair_create and rte_eth_ring_devinit, which should only be called
internally to the dpdk core library.  To correct this I've removed those
functions, and instead allowed them to be called indirectly at initalization
time using the vdev command line argument key nodeaction=<name>:<node>:<action>
where action is one of ATTACH or CREATE.  I've tested out the functionality of
the command line with the testpmd utility, with success, and have removed the
called functions from the test utility.  This will affect how the test utility
is invoked (the -d and --vdev option will need to be specified on the command
line now), but honestly, given the way it was coded, I think the testing of the
ring pmd was not the best example of how to code with dpdk to begin with.  I
have also left the two layer violating functions in place, so as not to break
existing applications, but added deprecation warnings to them so that apps can
migrate off them.

Change notes

v2) fixed DEPDIR specifcation, should depend on RING not PCAP

v3) Cleaned up strcmp error checking, printfs, and other parsing issues as
pointed out by Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@intel.com>

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 05/14] xenvirt: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the xenvirt driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the xenvirt library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

A few notes:

xenvirt was unbuildable as of commit 4c39baf297d10c217e7d3e7370f26a1fede58308..
That commit neglected to include the rte_vdev.h header, so several structs were
left undefined.  This patch includes a fix for that as well.

Also, The linkage for xenvirt is broken in much the same way pmd_ring was, in
that the xenvirt pmd has a function that is called directly from applications
(the example being the testpmd application).  The function is
rte_mempool_gntalloc_create, and should clearly be moved into the rte_mempool
library, with the supporting code in the function implementation moved to a new
xenvirt library separate from the pmd.  This is a large undertaking that
detracts from the purpose of this series however, and so for now, I'm leaving
the linkage to the application in place, and will address this issue in a later
series

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 06/14] eal: Make vdev init path generic for both virtual and physcial devices

[Neil Horman]

Currently, physical device pmds use a separate initalization path
(rte_pmd_init_all) while virtual devices use a constructor registration and
rte_eal_dev_init.  Theres no reason to have them be separate.  This patch
removes the vdev specific nomenclature from the vdev init path and makes it more
generic for use with all pmds.  This is the first step in converting the
physical device pmds to using the same constructor based registration path that
the virtual devices use

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 07/14] igb: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the igb pmd driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the igb library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 13/14] vmxnet3: Convert to use of PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER and fix linking

[Neil Horman]

convert the vmxnet3 pmd driver to use the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER macro.
This means that the test applications now have no reference to the vmxnet3 library
when building DSO's and must specify its use on the command line with the -d
option.  Static linking will still initalize the driver automatically.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/X v5 14/14] pmd: Remove rte_pmd_init_all

[Neil Horman]

Now that we've converted all the pmds in dpdk to use the driver registration
macro, rte_pmd_init_all has become empty.  As theres no reason to keep it around
anymore, just remove it and fix up all the eample callers.

I am ok with build device drivers as libraries, but there can be a
performance impact.  For performance, we link with link-time optimization
and that is not possible as shared library. Haven't measured but at least
in the kernel, modules add a performance tax because they aren't in same
memory region and therefore cause a TLB miss. Might have same impact in
user mode.

You might be able to get some of this back by compiling with link-time-optimization
on a device at a time, and
also use the flags to tell compiler that only certain entry points are
shared and need tob e global.

Possibly, but that seems like a build time decision.  Performance numbers are
definately good for guidance here, but one way or another if you're not ok with
the impact, you configure to build statically, and go on about your day.  We're
not preventing that here, just making the DSO build case work a little more
sanely, so that the core libraries and applications don't have to link against
the DSO's directly.

That seems like a fine idea.  In fact with this patch, a typical pmd would need
no global entry points, as the constructor registers the init routine (which can
be static), and the init routine registers the ethernet device driver.  We could
probably (with this changeset) create a boilerplate linker script for the pmds
that marked all the symbols except constructors as local (xenvirt and ring are
notable exceptions to this rule, but those can likely be fixed up).

Regardless, I'd like to address that in a separate patch, as I think this series
is doing enough on its own.  It a good idea for optimization though.

So, I just went and looked at 1.6.0r2 and noted that you applied this patch, but
the rest of the series is still missing.  This is what I was talking about
earlier when I said you weren't applying patch series atomically.  It makes it
impossible to have any clue what the upstream development head is going to look
like.  On top of that, since you're clearly integrating other changes ahead of
this, theres every likelyhood the rest of my v5 series won't apply.

the v5 series has sat out here for a few weeks now without comment. If there
aren't any objections to it, apply it.  Whats the problem here?  I'm not going
to package the DPDK until this series (or the functionality it offers) is in
place.

This patch is clearly an important fix. So I took it for release 1.6.0r2.
The other patches of the serie are enhancements which will be in 1.7.0.

The goal is to change the integration model.
Now we'll stop integrating enhancements and big changes when first release 
candidate is out. Then it will be clear that only fixes and mandatory changes 
will be integrated in the last part of the release cycle.

I hope you agree we're improving the workflow.

Apologies to you Thomas, and the rest of the 6wind list.  He just explained to
me that patch applications ni 1.6.0r2 aren't inherited by 1.7.0 so the entire
patch series will need to be reapplied to 1.7.0.  The workflow is atypical to
me, but I should have seen that, given there is no master branch.  Sorry for the
outburst.

Sorry, you misunderstood :)
I'm starting a master branch from 1.6.0r2.
So the rest of you serie will be applied on master branch where 1.7.0 is going 
to live.
I won't split patch serie anymore.

Apologies for the confusion.

Ping, so whats the status on the rest of this series?  You said you would
integrate it with 1.7.0, but you've applied several dozen patches ahead of it
(many of which were posted after it), and as a result, it no longer applies.  I
assume you're planning on fixing all of this up?

I was pretty sure you'll ping me :)
This serie should be the next to be applied, probably on Monday.

I take this opportunity to "recruit" more reviewers.
Many patches are pending for review and there will be probably even more in 
next days. So reviewers are welcome!

Hi Neil,

Sorry for opening this thread again, but I have encountered that the ring PMD unit test (ring_pmd_autotest in the test application) fails, due to this patch, as several functions calls were removed (such as rte_eth_ring_pair_create) . According to the explanation of this patch, you said that using -d/-vdev is required for the test app. Have you checked if unit test worked for you? In that case, could you tell me which parameters are needed, please?

Thanks,
Pablo
