[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4] Infrastructure to support octeontx HW mempool manager

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4] Infrastructure to support octeontx HW mempool manager

[Santosh Shukla]

In order to support octeontx HW mempool manager, the common mempool layer must
meet below condition.
- buffer start address should be block size aligned.
- buffers must have the physically contiguous address within the pool.

And right now mempool doesn't support both.

Patchset adds infrastrucure to support both condition in a _generic_ way.
Proposed solution won't effect existing mempool drivers or its functionality.

Summary:
Introducing capability flag. Now mempool drivers can advertise their
capabilities to common mempool layer(at the pool creation time).
Handlers are introduced in order to support capability flag.

Flags:
* MEMPOOL_F_POOL_CONTIG - If flag is set then Detect whether the buffer
has the physically contiguous address with in a hugepage.

* MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED - If flag is set then make sure that buffer
addresses are block size aligned.

API:
Two handles are introduced:
* rte_mempool_ops_get_hw_cap - advertise HW mempool manager capability.
* rte_mempool_ops_update_range - Update pa/va start and end address range to
HW mempool manager.

Testing:
* Tested for x86_64 for rte_ring and stack.
* Tested for Octeontx HW mempool block.

Checkpatch status:
* Noticed false positive checkpatch warning:
WARNING: line over 80 characters

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/4] mempool: get the external mempool capability

[Santosh Shukla]

Allow external mempool to advertise its capability.
A handler been introduced called rte_mempool_ops_get_hw_cap.
- Upon ->get_hw_cap call, mempool driver will advertise
capability by returning flag.
- Common layer updates flag value in 'mp->flags'.

I guess you've already seen the compilation issue when shared libs
are enabled:

"hw" can be removed since some handlers are software (the other occurences
of hw should be removed too)

"capabilities" is clearer than "cap"

So I suggest rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities() instead
With this name, the comment above becomes overkill...

-ENOTSUP looks more appropriate (like in ethdev)

> +		mp->flags |= ret;

I'm wondering if these capability flags should be mixed with
other mempool flags.

We can maybe remove this code above and directly call
rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities() when we need to get them.

If possible, use "const struct rte_mempool *mp"

Since flags are unsigned, I would also prefer a function returning an
int (0 on success, negative on error) and writing to an unsigned pointer
provided by the user.

The possible values for the capability flags should be better described.

ok. Will take care in v2.

imo: -ENOENT tell that driver has no new entry for capability flag(mp->flag).
But no strong opinion for -ENOTSUP.

0) Treating this capability flag different vs existing RTE_MEMPOLL_F would
result to adding new flag entry in struct rte_mempool { .drv_flag} for example.
1) That new flag entry will break ABI.
2) In-fact application can benefit this capability flag by explicitly setting
in pool create api (e.g: rte_mempool_create_empty (, , , , , _F_POOL_CONGIG | F_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED)).

Those flag use-case not limited till driver scope, application too can benefit.

3) Also provided that we have space in RTE_MEMPOOL_F_XX area, so adding couple of
more bit won't impact design or effect pool creation sequence.

4) By calling _ops_get_capability() at _populate_default() area would address issues pointed by
you at patch [3/4]. Will explain details on ' how' in respective patch [3/4].

5) Above all, Intent is to make sure that common layer managing capability flag 
on behalf of driver or application.

confused? mp->flag is int not unsigned. and We're returning
-ENOENT/-ENOTSUP at error and positive value in-case driver supports capability.

I don't see any use case where an application could request
a block size alignment.

The problem of adding flags that are accessible to the user
is the complexity it adds to the API. If every driver comes
with its own flags, I'm affraid the generic code will soon become
unmaintainable. Especially, the dependencies between the flags
will have to be handled somewhere.

But, ok, let's do it.

Returing an int that is either an error or a flag mask prevents
from using the last flag 0x80000000 because it is also the sign bit.

Ok. Will address in v2.

BTW: mp->flag is int and in case of updating a flag to a value like
0x80000000 will be a problem.. so do you want me to change
mp->flag data type from int to unsigned int and send out deprecation notice
for same?

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/4] mempool: detect physical contiguous object in pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW mempool blocks may need physical contiguous obj in a pool.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_POOL_CONTIG flag for such use-case.  The flag
useful to detect whether all buffer fits within a hugepage or not. If
not then return -ENOSPC. This way, we make sure that all object within a
pool is contiguous.

This should be clarified: the memory area containing all the
objects must be physically contiguous, right?

We should not reference mbuf, we are in mempool code, dealing with
any kind of object.

Also, len is not necessarily the size of a hugepage, but the size of the
physical area passed to te_mempool_populate_phys().

We must highlight here that it's a capability flag.
Following my other comments on the first patch, this define should be
renamed in something else. I suggest:

#define RTE_MEMPOOL_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG 0x0001

The description should be longer and more accurate.

I'm also a bit puzzled because this is more a limitation than a
capability.

ok, in v2.

The idea is to make sure that blk_sz (total_elt_sz * mp->size) fits with in
hugepage. So if rte_eal_has_hugepages() is true then 'len' is
hugepage size, in-case of non-hugepage this condition would fail.

Does that make sense? if so then I'll modify comment and error log.
Otherwise could you pl. suggest better approach to detect phys contiguity.

ok with renaming flag but per my [1/4] comment.

But i find it makes more sense to - not differentiate PHYS_CONTIG
with existing mempool cap flags.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/4] mempool: introduce block size align flag

[Santosh Shukla]

Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size aligned
buffer address.

Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED flag.
If this flag is set:
1) adjust 'off' value to block size aligned value.
2) Allocate one additional buffer. This buffer is used to make sure that
requested 'n' buffers get correctly populated to mempool.
Example:
	elem_sz = 2432 // total element size.
	n = 2111 // requested number of buffer.
	off = 2304 // new buf_offset value after step 1)
	vaddr = 0x0 // actual start address of pool
	pool_len = 5133952 // total pool length i.e.. (elem_sz * n)

Since 'off' is a non-zero value so below condition would fail for the
block size align case.

(((vaddr + off) + (elem_sz * n)) <= (vaddr + pool_len))

Which is incorrect behavior. Additional buffer will solve this
problem and correctly populate 'n' buffer to mempool for the aligned
mode.

What is the meaning of block size aligned?

Does it mean that the address has to be a multiple of total_elt_size?

Is this constraint on the virtual address only?

Sorry, but the example is not very clear.

What is the purpose of this test? Can it fail?

Not sure having the delta variable is helpful. However, adding a
small comment like this could help:

	/* align object start address to a multiple of total_elt_sz */
	off = total_elt_sz - ((uintptr_t)vaddr % total_elt_sz);

One issue I see here is that this new flag breaks the function
rte_mempool_xmem_size(), which calculates the maximum amount of memory
required to store a given number of objects.

It also probably breaks rte_mempool_xmem_usage().

I don't have any good solution for now. A possibility is to change
the behavior of these functions for everyone, meaning that we will
always reserve more memory that really required. If this is done on
every memory chunk (struct rte_mempool_memhdr), it can eat a lot
of memory.

Another approach would be to change the API of this function to
pass the capability flags, or the mempool pointer... but there is
a problem because these functions are usually called before the
mempool is instanciated.

Same comment than for patch 3: the explanation should really be clarified.
It's a hw specific limitation, which won't be obvious for the people that
will read that code, so we must document it as clear as possible.

which part?

I'll try to reword.

The problem statement is:
- We want start of buffer address aligned to block_sz aka total_elt_sz.

Proposed solution in this patch:
- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- Ideally we start using buffer at address 0 to...(x-block_sz).
- Not necessarily first buffer address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive offset value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off' . 
- That 'off' makes sure that first va/pa address of buffer is blk_sz aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first buffer of pool. So total
number of buffer in pool is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior, Thats why
we add 1 addition buffer. We request memzone to allocate (n+1 * total_elt_sz) pool
area when F_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED flag is set.

Purpose is to sanity check blk_sz alignment. No it won;t fail.
I thought better to keep sanity check but if you see no value
then will remove in v2?

Per my description on [1/4]. If we agree to call
_ops_get_capability() at very beginning i.e.. at _populate_default()
then 'mp->flag' has capability flag. and We could add one more argument
in _xmem_size( , flag)/_xmem_usage(, flag). 
- xmem_size / xmem_usage() to check for that capability bit in 'flag'.
- if set then increase 'elt_num' by num.

That way your approach 2) make sense to me and it will very well fit
in design. Won't waste memory like you mentioned in approach 1).

Does that make sense?

I won't see this as HW limitation. As mentioned in [1/4], even application
can request for block alignment, right?

But I agree that I will reword comment.

You mean virtual address and physical address must be a multiple of
total_elt_size? How is it possible?

For instance, I have this on my dpdk instance:
Segment 0: phys:0x52c00000, len:4194304, virt:0x7fed26000000, socket_id:0, hugepage_sz:2097152, nchannel:0, nrank:0
Segment 1: phys:0x53400000, len:163577856, virt:0x7fed1c200000, socket_id:0, hugepage_sz:2097152, nchannel:0, nrank:0
Segment 2: phys:0x5d400000, len:20971520, virt:0x7fed1ac00000, socket_id:0, hugepage_sz:2097152, nchannel:0, nrank:0
...

I assume total_elt_size is 2176.

In segment 0, I need to use (virt = 0x7fed26000000 + 1536) to be
multiple of 2176. But the corresponding physical address (0x52c00000 + 1536)
is not multiple of 2176. 


Please clarify if only the virtual address has to be aligned.

The use case of rte_mempool_xmem_size()/rte_mempool_xmem_usage()
is to determine how much memory is needed to instanciate a mempool:

  sz = rte_mempool_xmem_size(...);
  ptr = allocate(sz);
  paddr_table = get_phys_map(ptr);
  mp = rte_mempool_xmem_create(..., ptr, ..., paddr_table, ...);

If we want to transform the code to use another mempool_ops, it is
not possible:

  mp = rte_mempool_create_empty();
  rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(mp, "my-handler");
  sz = rte_mempool_xmem_size(...);   /* <<< the mp pointer is not passed */
  ptr = allocate(sz);
  paddr_table = get_phys_map(ptr);
  mp = rte_mempool_xmem_create(..., ptr, ..., paddr_table, ...);

So, yes, this approach would work but it needs to change the API.
I think it is possible to keep a compat with previous versions.

What would be the reason for an application would request this block aligment?
The total size of the element is usually not known by the application,
because the mempool adds its header and footer.

Ok. I'm planning to send out deprecation notice for xmem_size/usage api.

There were patches for custom alignment in past [1]. So its not new
initiative. 
Application don't have to know the internal block_size (total_elem_sz), but
My point is - Application can very much request for start address aligned
to block_size.
Besides that, We have enough space in MEMPOOL_F_ area so keeping alignment_flag
is not a problem.

Thanks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/4] mempool: update range info to pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW pool manager e.g. Octeontx SoC demands s/w to program start and end
address of pool. Currently, there is no such handle in external mempool.
Introducing rte_mempool_update_range handle which will let HW(pool manager)
know when common layer selects hugepage:
For each hugepage - update its start/end address to HW pool manager.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] Infrastructure to support octeontx HW mempool manager

[Santosh Shukla]

v2:
(Note: v2 work is based on deprecation notice [1], It's for 17.11)

In order to support octeontx HW mempool manager, the common mempool layer must
meet below condition.
- Object start address should be block size (total elem size) aligned.
- Object must have the physically contiguous address within the pool.

And right now mempool doesn't support both.

Patchset adds infrastrucure to support both condition in a _generic_ way.
Proposed solution won't effect existing mempool drivers or its functionality.

Summary:
Introducing capability flag. Now mempool drivers can advertise their
capabilities to common mempool layer(at the pool creation time).
Handlers are introduced in order to support capability flag.

Flags:
* MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG - If flag is set then Detect whether the object
has the physically contiguous address with in a hugepage.

* MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED - If flag is set then make sure that object
addresses are block size aligned.

API:
Two handles are introduced:
* rte_mempool_ops_get_capability - advertise mempool manager capability.
* rte_mempool_ops_update_range - Update start and end address range to
HW mempool manager.

v2 --> v1 :
* [01/06] Per deprecation notice [1], Changed rte_mempool 'flag'
  data type from int to unsigned int and removed flag param
  from _xmem_size/usage api.
* [02/06] Incorporated review feedback from v1 [2] (Suggested by Olivier)
* [03/06] Renamed flag to MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
  and comment reworded. (Suggested by Olivier per v1 [3])
* [04/06] added new mempool arg in xmem_size/usage. (Suggested by Olivier)
* [05/06] patch description changed.
        - Removed elseif brakcet mix
        - removed sanity check for alignment
        - removed extra var delta
        - Removed __rte_unused from xmem_usage/size and added _BLK_SZ_ALIGN check.
        (Suggeted by Olivier per v1[4])
* [06/06] Added RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_RET in rte_mempool_ops_update_ops.

Checkpatch status:
* WARNING: line over 80 characters
Noticed for debug messages.

Work history:
Refer [5].

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/6] mempool: fix flags data type

[Santosh Shukla]

mp->flags is int and mempool API updates unsigned int
value in 'flags', so fix the 'flags' data type.

Patch also does mp->flags cleanup like:
* Remove redundant 'flags' API description from
  - __rte_mempool_generic_put
  - __rte_mempool_generic_get

* Remove unused 'flags' param from
  - rte_mempool_generic_put
  - rte_mempool_generic_get

* Fix mempool var data types int mempool.c
  - mz_flags is int, Change it to unsigned int.

Fixes: af75078fec ("first public release")
Fixes: 454a0a7009 ("mempool: use cache in single producer or consumer mode")
Fixes: d6f78df6fe ("mempool: use bit flags for multi consumers and producers")
Fixes: d1d914ebbc ("mempool: allocate in several memory chunks by default")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/6] mempool: get the mempool capability

[Santosh Shukla]

Allow mempool to advertise its capability.
A handler been introduced called rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities.
- Upon ->get_capabilities call, mempool driver will advertise
capability by updating to 'mp->flags'.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/6] mempool: detect physical contiguous object in pool

[Santosh Shukla]

The memory area containing all the objects must be physically
contiguous.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG flag for such use-case.

The flag useful to detect whether pool area has sufficient space
to fit all objects. If not then return -ENOSPC.
This way, we make sure that all object within a pool is contiguous.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 5/6] mempool: introduce block size align flag

[Santosh Shukla]

Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size
(/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.

Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED flag.
If this flag is set:
- Align object start address to a multiple of total_elt_sz.
- Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make
  sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated. Example:

- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- And application has requested 'n' object from mempool.
- Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz)
  for n obj.
- Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'.
- That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz
  aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of
  memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the
  pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior.

Therefore we request one additional object (/block_sz area) from memzone
when F_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED flag is set.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 6/6] mempool: update range info to pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW pool manager e.g. Octeontx SoC demands s/w to program start and end
address of pool. Currently, there is no such handle in external mempool.
Introducing rte_mempool_update_range handle which will let HW(pool
manager)
know when common layer selects hugepage:
For each hugepage - update its start/end address to HW pool manager.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/6] Infrastructure to support octeontx HW mempool manager

[Santosh Shukla]

v3:
(Note: v3 work is based on deprecation notice [1], It's for 17.11)
* Changed _version.map from 17.08 to 17.11.
* build fixes reported by stv_sys.
* Patchset rebased on upstream commit: da94a999. 

v2:

In order to support octeontx HW mempool manager, the common mempool layer must
meet below condition.
- Object start address should be block size (total elem size) aligned.
- Object must have the physically contiguous address within the pool.

And right now mempool doesn't support both.

Patchset adds infrastrucure to support both condition in a _generic_ way.
Proposed solution won't effect existing mempool drivers or its functionality.

Summary:
Introducing capability flag. Now mempool drivers can advertise their
capabilities to common mempool layer(at the pool creation time).
Handlers are introduced in order to support capability flag.

Flags:
* MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG - If flag is set then Detect whether the object
has the physically contiguous address with in a hugepage.

* MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED - If flag is set then make sure that object
addresses are block size aligned.

API:
Two handles are introduced:
* rte_mempool_ops_get_capability - advertise mempool manager capability.
* rte_mempool_ops_update_range - Update start and end address range to
HW mempool manager.

v2 --> v1 :
* [01/06] Per deprecation notice [1], Changed rte_mempool 'flag'
  data type from int to unsigned int and removed flag param
  from _xmem_size/usage api.
* [02/06] Incorporated review feedback from v1 [2] (Suggested by Olivier)
* [03/06] Renamed flag to MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
  and comment reworded. (Suggested by Olivier per v1 [3])
* [04/06] added new mempool arg in xmem_size/usage. (Suggested by Olivier)
* [05/06] patch description changed.
        - Removed elseif brakcet mix
        - removed sanity check for alignment
        - removed extra var delta
        - Removed __rte_unused from xmem_usage/size and added _BLK_SZ_ALIGN check.
        (Suggeted by Olivier per v1[4])
* [06/06] Added RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_RET in rte_mempool_ops_update_ops.

Checkpatch status:
* WARNING: line over 80 characters
Noticed for debug messages.

Work history:
For v1, refer [5].

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/6] mempool: fix flags data type

[Santosh Shukla]

mp->flags is int and mempool API updates unsigned int
value in 'flags', so fix the 'flags' data type.

Patch also does mp->flags cleanup like:
* Remove redundant 'flags' API description from
  - __rte_mempool_generic_put
  - __rte_mempool_generic_get

* Remove unused 'flags' param from
  - rte_mempool_generic_put
  - rte_mempool_generic_get

* Fix mempool var data types int mempool.c
  - mz_flags is int, Change it to unsigned int.

Fixes: af75078fec ("first public release")
Fixes: 454a0a7009 ("mempool: use cache in single producer or consumer mode")
Fixes: d6f78df6fe ("mempool: use bit flags for multi consumers and producers")
Fixes: d1d914ebbc ("mempool: allocate in several memory chunks by default")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 3/6] mempool: detect physical contiguous object in pool

[Santosh Shukla]

The memory area containing all the objects must be physically
contiguous.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG flag for such use-case.

The flag useful to detect whether pool area has sufficient space
to fit all objects. If not then return -ENOSPC.
This way, we make sure that all object within a pool is contiguous.

v2 -- v3:
- type casted len to uint64_t (fix build warning).

v1 -- v2:
- Renamed flag to MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
- Comment reworded.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 5/6] mempool: introduce block size align flag

[Santosh Shukla]

Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size
(/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.

Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED flag.
If this flag is set:
- Align object start address to a multiple of total_elt_sz.
- Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make
  sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated. Example:

- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- And application has requested 'n' object from mempool.
- Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz)
  for n obj.
- Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'.
- That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz
  aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of
  memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the
  pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior.

Therefore we request one additional object (/block_sz area) from memzone
when F_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED flag is set.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 6/6] mempool: update range info to pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW pool manager e.g. Octeontx SoC demands s/w to program start and end
address of pool. Currently, there is no such handle in external mempool.
Introducing rte_mempool_update_range handle which will let HW(pool
manager)
know when common layer selects hugepage:
For each hugepage - update its start/end address to HW pool manager.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/7] Infrastructure to support octeontx HW mempool manager

[Santosh Shukla]

v4:
Include 
- mempool deprecation changes, refer [1], 
- patches are rebased against v17.11-rc0.

v3:
In order to support octeontx HW mempool manager, the common mempool layer must
meet below condition.
- Object start address should be block size (total elem size) aligned.
- Object must have the physically contiguous address within the pool.

And right now mempool doesn't support both.

Patchset adds infrastrucure to support both condition in a _generic_ way.
Proposed solution won't effect existing mempool drivers or its functionality.

Summary:
Introducing capability flag. Now mempool drivers can advertise their
capabilities to common mempool layer(at the pool creation time).
Handlers are introduced in order to support capability flag.

Flags:
* MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG - If flag is set then Detect whether the object
has the physically contiguous address with in a hugepage.

* MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED - If flag is set then make sure that object
addresses are block size aligned.

API:
Two handles are introduced:
* rte_mempool_ops_get_capability - advertise mempool manager capability.
* rte_mempool_ops_update_range - Update start and end address range to
HW mempool manager.

v3 --> v4:
* [01 - 02 - 03/07] mempool deprecation notice changes.
* [04 - 05 - 06 - 07/07] are v3 patches.

v2 --> v3:
(Note: v3 work is based on deprecation notice [1], It's for 17.11)
* Changed _version.map from 17.08 to 17.11.
* build fixes reported by stv_sys.
* Patchset rebased on upstream commit: da94a999.


v1 --> v2 :
* [01/06] Per deprecation notice [1], Changed rte_mempool 'flag'
  data type from int to unsigned int and removed flag param
  from _xmem_size/usage api.
* [02/06] Incorporated review feedback from v1 [2] (Suggested by Olivier)
* [03/06] Renamed flag to MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
  and comment reworded. (Suggested by Olivier per v1 [3])
* [04/06] added new mempool arg in xmem_size/usage. (Suggested by Olivier)
* [05/06] patch description changed.
        - Removed elseif brakcet mix
        - removed sanity check for alignment
        - removed extra var delta
        - Removed __rte_unused from xmem_usage/size and added _BLK_SZ_ALIGN check.
        (Suggeted by Olivier per v1[4])
* [06/06] Added RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_RET in rte_mempool_ops_update_ops.

Checkpatch status:
* WARNING: line over 80 characters
Noticed for debug messages.

Work history:
For v1, refer [5].

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 1/7] mempool: fix flags data type

[Santosh Shukla]

mp->flags is int and mempool API updates unsigned int
value in 'flags', so fix the 'flags' data type.

Patch also does mp->flags cleanup like:
* Remove redundant 'flags' API description from
  - __rte_mempool_generic_put
  - __rte_mempool_generic_get

* Remove unused 'flags' param from
  - rte_mempool_generic_put
  - rte_mempool_generic_get

* Fix mempool var data types int mempool.c
  - mz_flags is int, Change it to unsigned int.

Fixes: af75078fec ("first public release")
Fixes: 454a0a7009 ("mempool: use cache in single producer or consumer mode")
Fixes: d6f78df6fe ("mempool: use bit flags for multi consumers and producers")
Fixes: d1d914ebbc ("mempool: allocate in several memory chunks by default")

This bullet list makes me think that we should have at least 2 commits:
 mempool: remove unused flags argument
 mempool: change flags from int to unsigned int

Ok, will split in v5.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 2/7] mempool: add mempool arg in xmem size and usage

[Santosh Shukla]

xmem_size and xmem_usage need to know the status of mp->flag.
Following patch will make use of that.

What is the meaning of passing NULL to rte_mempool_xmem_size()?
Does it mean that flags are ignored?

Wouldn't it be better to pass the mempool flags instead of the mempool
pointer?

Yes that mean flags are ignored.

Keeping mempool as param rather flag useful in case user want to do/refer more
thing in future for xmem_size/usage() api. Otherwise he has append one more param
to api and send out deprecation notice.. Btw, its const param so won;t hurt right?

However if you still want to restrict param to mp->flags then pl. suggest.

Thanks.

But the flags change the return value of rte_mempool_xmem_size(), right?
So, correct me if I'm wrong, but if we don't pass the proper flags, the
returned value won't be the one we expect.

no, It won't change.

passing flag value other than MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED, wont impact return value.

That's the case today with your patches.

But if someone else wants to add another flag, this may change.
And you do not describe in the help that mp can be NULL, why it would
occur, and what does that mean.

Yes, it looks better to pass the flags instead of the mempool pointer.

trying to understand your point of view here:
- We have 64B wide flag and if new flag introduced, considering new flag
sets bit in 2^x order then 'if' condition in xmem_size() will fail and elt_num won;t increment
thus won;t impact return type, right?

agree, It meant flag ignored in below particular case where upper xen driver API
ie.. __create_mempool() is calling _xmem_size() before pool create (valid case though).

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 4/7] mempool: get the mempool capability

[Santosh Shukla]

Allow mempool to advertise its capability.
A handler been introduced called rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities.
- Upon ->get_capabilities call, mempool driver will advertise
capability by updating to 'mp->flags'.

What does "Capability updated to mp->flags" mean?

Why not having instead:
 int rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities(struct rte_mempool *mp,
     unsigned int *flags);

?

it says that external mempool driver has updated his pool capability in mp->flags.

No strong opinion, But Since we already passing mempool as param why not update
flag info into mp->flag.
However I see your, I guess you want explicitly highlight flag as capability update {action}
in second param, in that case how about keeping first mempool param 'const' like below:

int rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities(const struct rte_mempool *mp,
     unsigned int *flags);

are you ok with const change in above API.

queued for v5 after you ack/nack on above const change.

Thanks.

What do you mean by "for debug"?

All lines should be shorter than 80 cols, except if that is not
possible without spliting a string or making the code hard to
read or maintain.

Please, can you explain what does "update" mean?
Is it masked? Or-ed?

Yes, adding the const makes sense here.

Current API return info:
0 : for success ..meaning driver supports capability and advertised same by Or-ing to mp->flags
(now in v5, mempool driver will update to second flag param)
<0 : error.

Is return info fine with you for v5. Pl. confirm. Thanks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 5/7] mempool: detect physical contiguous object in pool

[Santosh Shukla]

The memory area containing all the objects must be physically
contiguous.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG flag for such use-case.

The flag useful to detect whether pool area has sufficient space
to fit all objects. If not then return -ENOSPC.
This way, we make sure that all object within a pool is contiguous.

The description should be longer. It is impossible to understand what is the
meaning of this capability flag by just reading the comment.

Example:
/**
 * This capability flag is advertised by a mempool handler if the whole
 * memory area containing the objects must be physically contiguous.
 */

Can you please also add that this flag should not be passed by the application?

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 6/7] mempool: introduce block size align flag

[Santosh Shukla]

Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size
(/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.

Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED flag.
If this flag is set:
- Align object start address to a multiple of total_elt_sz.
- Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make
  sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated. Example:

- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- And application has requested 'n' object from mempool.
- Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz)
  for n obj.
- Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'.
- That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz
  aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of
  memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the
  pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior.

Therefore we request one additional object (/block_sz area) from memzone
when F_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED flag is set.

Please specify if it's virtual or physical address.

What do you think about MEMPOOL_F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS instead?

I don't really like BLK because the word "block" is not used anywhere
else in the mempool code. But I cannot find any good replacement for
it. If you have another idea, please suggest.

I'm wondering if it's correct if the mempool area is not contiguous.

For instance:
 page size = 4096
 object size = 1900
 elt_num = 10

With your calculation, you will request (11+2-1)/2 = 6 pages.
But actually you may need 10 pages (max), since the number of object per
page matching the alignement constraint is 1, not 2.

In our case, we set PMD flag MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG to detect contiguity,
would fail at pool creation time, as HW don't support.

Yes but here it's generic code. If MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED implies
MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG, it should be enforced somewhere.

Right, 
Approach:
We agree to keep _F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG as flag not set by application,
i'm thinking to keep that way for _ALIGNED flag too, both setted by mempool
handler, such that mempool handler sets both the flag before pool creation time.
And above condition will check for both the flags? are you fine with that approach?
Or pl. suggest an alternative? As because right now octeontx mempool block _need_
aligned blocks and cares for contiguity. Having said that ext-mempool in particular
and mempool in general doesn't facilitate anything like that..

Thanks. 

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 7/7] mempool: update range info to pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW pool manager e.g. Octeontx SoC demands s/w to program start and end
address of pool. Currently, there is no such handle in external mempool.
Introducing rte_mempool_update_range handle which will let HW(pool
manager)
know when common layer selects hugepage:
For each hugepage - update its start/end address to HW pool manager.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/8] Infrastructure to support octeontx HW mempool manager

[Santosh Shukla]

V5:
Includes v4 review change, suggested by Olivier.

v4:
Include 
- mempool deprecation changes, refer [1], 
- patches are rebased against v17.11-rc0.

v3:
In order to support octeontx HW mempool manager, the common mempool layer must
meet below condition.
- Object start address should be block size (total elem size) aligned.
- Object must have the physically contiguous address within the pool.

And right now mempool doesn't support both.

Patchset adds infrastrucure to support both condition in a _generic_ way.
Proposed solution won't effect existing mempool drivers or its functionality.

Summary:
Introducing capability flag. Now mempool drivers can advertise their
capabilities to common mempool layer(at the pool creation time).
Handlers are introduced in order to support capability flag.

Flags:
* MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG - If flag is set then Detect whether the object
has the physically contiguous address with in a hugepage.

* MEMPOOL_F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS - If flag is set then make sure that object
addresses are block size aligned.

API:
Two handles are introduced:
* rte_mempool_ops_get_capability - advertise mempool manager capability.
* rte_mempool_ops_update_range - Update start and end address range to
HW mempool manager.

Change History:
v4 --> v5:
- Replaced mp param with flags param in xmem_size/_usage() api. (Suggested by
  Olivier)
- Renamed flags from MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED to
  MEMPOOL_F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS (suggested by Olivier)
- added flag param in get_capabilities() handle (suggested by Olivier)

Refer individual patch for detailed change history.

v3 --> v4:
* [01 - 02 - 03/07] mempool deprecation notice changes.
* [04 - 05 - 06 - 07/07] are v3 patches.

v2 --> v3:
(Note: v3 work is based on deprecation notice [1], It's for 17.11)
* Changed _version.map from 17.08 to 17.11.
* build fixes reported by stv_sys.
* Patchset rebased on upstream commit: da94a999.


v1 --> v2 :
* [01/06] Per deprecation notice [1], Changed rte_mempool 'flag'
  data type from int to unsigned int and removed flag param
  from _xmem_size/usage api.
* [02/06] Incorporated review feedback from v1 [2] (Suggested by Olivier)
* [03/06] Renamed flag to MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
  and comment reworded. (Suggested by Olivier per v1 [3])
* [04/06] added new mempool arg in xmem_size/usage. (Suggested by Olivier)
* [05/06] patch description changed.
        - Removed elseif brakcet mix
        - removed sanity check for alignment
        - removed extra var delta
        - Removed __rte_unused from xmem_usage/size and added _BLK_SZ_ALIGN check.
        (Suggeted by Olivier per v1[4])
* [06/06] Added RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_RET in rte_mempool_ops_update_ops.

Checkpatch status:
CLEAN.

Thanks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 3/8] mempool: add flags arg in xmem size and usage

[Santosh Shukla]

xmem_size and xmem_usage need to know the status of mempool flags,
so add 'flags' arg in _xmem_size/usage() api.

Following patch will make use of that.

v4 --> v5:
- Removed 'mp' param and replaced with 'flags' param for
  xmem_size/_usage api. (suggested by Olivier)

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 5/8] mempool: get the mempool capability

[Santosh Shukla]

Allow mempool driver to advertise his pool capability.
For that pupose, an api(rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities)
and ->get_capability() handler has been introduced.
- Upon ->get_capabilities() call, mempool driver will advertise
his capability by oring to mempool 'flags'.

v4 --> v5:
- Added flags as second param in get_capability api (suggested by Olivier)
- Removed 80 char warning. (suggested by Olivier)
- Upadted API description, now explicitly mentioning that update as a
  Or'ed operation by mempool handle. (suggested by Olivier)

I think the error can be ignored only if it's -ENOTSUP.
Else, the error should be propagated.

The API is correct, but the flags should simply be returned, not or-ed.
I think it should be kept as simple as possible: a function called
get_somthing() is expected to return it without doing anything else.
Sorry if I wasn't clear in my previous message.

If there is a need to do a OR with mp->flags, it has to be done in the caller,
i.e. rte_mempool_populate_default().

pl. confirm : you want below approach:

mp->flags |= flags;

is that okay with you? i'll queue in v6

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 6/8] mempool: detect physical contiguous object in pool

[Santosh Shukla]

The memory area containing all the objects must be physically
contiguous.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG flag for such use-case.

The flag useful to detect whether pool area has sufficient space
to fit all objects. If not then return -ENOSPC.
This way, we make sure that all object within a pool is contiguous.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 7/8] mempool: introduce block size align flag

[Santosh Shukla]

Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size
(/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.

Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag.
If this flag is set:
- Align object start address(vaddr) to a multiple of total_elt_sz.
- Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make
  sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated. Example:

- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- And application has requested 'n' object from mempool.
- Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz)
  for n obj.
- Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'.
- That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of
  memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the
  pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior.

Therefore we request one additional object (/block_sz area) from memzone
when F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag is set.

Same than with the other flag: since the meaning of this flag is not obvious
when we read the name, it has to be clearly described.
- say that it's virtual address
- say that it implies MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
- say that it can be advertised by a driver and the application should
  not pass it

And, since it shall not be passed by an application, I suggest to add
_CAPA too (i.e. MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS).

Ok, I will elaborate on FLAG description in v6,
and Rename to MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS.

Can you please suggest are you ok with
checking MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS | _PHYS_CONTIG
in _xmem_size()/_usage(), asked in v4 [1] for same patch.

yes, I'm ok with your proposition:
- MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS and _PHYS_CONTIG are capa flags,
  not set by application but by the handler
- the help says that _BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS implies _PHYS_CONTIG
- test both (_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS | _PHYS_CONTIG) in _xmem_size()/_usage()

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 8/8] mempool: update range info to pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW pool manager e.g. Octeontx SoC demands s/w to program start and end
address of pool. Currently, there is no such handle in external mempool.
Introducing rte_mempool_update_range handle which will let HW(pool
manager) to know when common layer selects hugepage:
For each hugepage - update its start/end address to HW pool manager.

My understanding is that the 2 capability flags imply that the mempool
is composed of only one memory area (rte_mempool_memhdr). Do you confirm?

So in your case, you will be notified only once with the full range of
the mempool. But if there are several memory areas, the function will
be called each time.

So I suggest to rename rte_mempool_ops_update_range() in
rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area(), which goal is to notify the mempool
handler each time a new memory area is added.

This should be properly explained in the API comments.

I think this handler can return an error code (0 on success, negative on
error). On error, rte_mempool_populate_phys() should fail.

Will rename to rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area() and
change return type from void to int.


return description:
0 : for success
<0 : failure, such that
 - if handler returns -ENOTSUP then valid error case--> no error handling at mempool layer
 - Otherwise  rte_mempool_populate_phys () fails.

Are you okay with error return? pl. confirm. 

Thanks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 0/8] Infrastructure to support octeontx HW mempool manager

[Santosh Shukla]

v6: 
Include v5 review change, suggested by Olivier.
Patches rebased on tip, commit:06791a4bcedf

v5:
Includes v4 review change, suggested by Olivier.

v4:
Include
- mempool deprecation changes, refer [1],
- patches are rebased against v17.11-rc0.

In order to support octeontx HW mempool manager, the common mempool layer must
meet below condition.
- Object start address should be block size (total elem size) aligned.
- Object must have the physically contiguous address within the pool.

And right now mempool doesn't support both.

Patchset adds infrastrucure to support both condition in a _generic_ way.
Proposed solution won't effect existing mempool drivers or its functionality.

Summary:
Introducing capability flag. Now mempool drivers can advertise their
capabilities to common mempool layer(at the pool creation time).
Handlers are introduced in order to support capability flag.

Flags:
* MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG - If flag is set then Detect whether the object
has the physically contiguous address with in a hugepage.

* MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS - If flag is set then make sure that object
addresses are block size aligned.

API:
Two handles are introduced:
* rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities - advertise mempool manager capability.
* rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area - Notify memory area (start/end addr) to 
					 HW mempool manager.

Change History:
v5 --> v6:
- Renamed flag from MEMPOOL_F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS to
  MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS and updated API description (Suggested by
  Olivier)
- Muxed _ALIGNED capability flag with _PHY_CONTIG per v5 thread [5].
- Renamed API from rte_mempool_ops_update_range to 
  rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area (Suggested by Olivier)
- Upadted API description for FLAGS and API both (Suggested by Olivier).

Refer individual patch for detailed change history.


v4 --> v5:
- Replaced mp param with flags param in xmem_size/_usage() api. (Suggested by
  Olivier)
- Renamed flags from MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED to
  MEMPOOL_F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS (suggested by Olivier)
- added flag param in get_capabilities() handle (suggested by Olivier)


v3 --> v4:
* [01 - 02 - 03/07] mempool deprecation notice changes.
* [04 - 05 - 06 - 07/07] are v3 patches.

v2 --> v3:
(Note: v3 work is based on deprecation notice [1], It's for 17.11)
* Changed _version.map from 17.08 to 17.11.
* build fixes reported by stv_sys.
* Patchset rebased on upstream commit: da94a999.


v1 --> v2 :
* [01/06] Per deprecation notice [1], Changed rte_mempool 'flag'
  data type from int to unsigned int and removed flag param
  from _xmem_size/usage api.
* [02/06] Incorporated review feedback from v1 [2] (Suggested by Olivier)
* [03/06] Renamed flag to MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
  and comment reworded. (Suggested by Olivier per v1 [3])
* [04/06] added new mempool arg in xmem_size/usage. (Suggested by Olivier)
* [05/06] patch description changed.
        - Removed elseif brakcet mix
        - removed sanity check for alignment
        - removed extra var delta
        - Removed __rte_unused from xmem_usage/size and added _BLK_SZ_ALIGN check.
        (Suggeted by Olivier per v1[4])
* [06/06] Added RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_RET in rte_mempool_ops_update_ops.

Checkpatch status:
CLEAN.

Thanks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 2/8] mempool: change flags from int to unsigned int

[Santosh Shukla]

mp->flags is int and mempool API writes unsigned int
value in 'flags', so fix the 'flags' data type.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 3/8] mempool: add flags arg in xmem size and usage

[Santosh Shukla]

xmem_size and xmem_usage need to know the status of mempool flags,
so add 'flags' arg in _xmem_size/usage() api.

Following patch will make use of that.

[Santosh Shukla]

Allow the mempool driver to advertise his pool capabilities.
For that pupose, an api(rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities)
and ->get_capabilities() handler has been introduced.
- Upon ->get_capabilities() call, mempool driver will advertise
his capabilities to mempool flags param.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 6/8] mempool: detect physical contiguous object in pool

[Santosh Shukla]

The memory area containing all the objects must be physically
contiguous.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG flag for such use-case.

The flag useful to detect whether pool area has sufficient space
to fit all objects. If not then return -ENOSPC.
This way, we make sure that all object within a pool is contiguous.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 7/8] mempool: introduce block size align flag

[Santosh Shukla]

Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size
(/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.

Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag.
If this flag is set:
- Align object start address(vaddr) to a multiple of total_elt_sz.
- Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make
  sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated.

Example:
- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- And application has requested 'n' object from mempool.
- Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz)
  for n obj.
- Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'.
- That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of
  memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the
  pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior.

Therefore we request one additional object (/block_sz area) from memzone
when MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag is set.

In previous version, we agreed to test both _BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS
and _PHYS_CONTIG in _xmem_size()/_usage(). Here, the test will
also be true if only MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG is set.

If we want to test both, the test should be:

    mask = MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS | MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG;
    if ((flags & mask) == mask)

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 8/8] mempool: notify memory area to pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW pool manager e.g. Octeontx SoC demands s/w to program start and end
address of pool. Currently, there is no such api in external mempool.
Introducing rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area api which will let HW(pool
manager) to know when common layer selects hugepage:
For each hugepage - Notify its start/end address to HW pool manager.

v5 --> v6:
- Renamed from rte_mempool_ops_update_range to 
  rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area (Suggested by Olivier)
- Now renamed api retuns int (Suggestd by Olivier)
- Update API description and Error details very explicitly
  (Suggested by Olivier)

Missing minus before ENOTSUP.
The dot should be a semicolon instead.

Refer v5 history [1] for same.

[1] http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/28419/

there will be a case where mempool handler may have more than one memory example, no-hugepage case.
In that case _register_memory_area() ops will be called for more than once.

In v5, you suggested to mention this case explicitly in api description.

If your not clear with write up then could you propose one and also are you fine
with [8/8] patch beside above note? planning to send v7 by tomorrow, appreciate if you answer question.

Ping?

IMO, remove above description keep it like:
"API to notify the mempool handler if a new memory area is added to pool." Is it ok with you? Can you pl. confirm, I need to send v7 and we want this series in -rc1, its blocking octeontx mempool and nw driver.. delayed review blocking progress.

The proposed description is ok.
I have no other comment for the rest of the patch.

Ping? we want this series merged in -rc1, essential for mempool and Octeontx pmd driver,
Can you pl. share your feedback? Shouldn;t be like getting feedback just before couple

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 0/8] Infrastructure to support octeontx HW mempool manager

[Santosh Shukla]

v7:
Includes v6 minor review changes suggested by Olivier.
Patches are rebases on tip / upstream commit : 5dce9fcdb23

v6: 
Include v5 review change, suggested by Olivier.
Patches rebased on tip, commit:06791a4bcedf

v5:
Includes v4 review change, suggested by Olivier.

v4:
Include
- mempool deprecation changes, refer [1],
- patches are rebased against v17.11-rc0.

In order to support octeontx HW mempool manager, the common mempool layer must
meet below condition.
- Object start address should be block size (total elem size) aligned.
- Object must have the physically contiguous address within the pool.

And right now mempool doesn't support both.

Patchset adds infrastrucure to support both condition in a _generic_ way.
Proposed solution won't effect existing mempool drivers or its functionality.

Summary:
Introducing capability flag. Now mempool drivers can advertise their
capabilities to common mempool layer(at the pool creation time).
Handlers are introduced in order to support capability flag.

Flags:
* MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG - If flag is set then Detect whether the object
has the physically contiguous address with in a hugepage.

* MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS - If flag is set then make sure that object
addresses are block size aligned.

API:
Two handles are introduced:
* rte_mempool_ops_get_capabilities - advertise mempool manager capability.
* rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area - Notify memory area (start/end addr) to 
					 HW mempool manager.

Change History:
v6 --> v7:
- Added mask (flag check var) in [07/08] (Suggested by Olivier)
- Incorporated comment nits changes in [08/08] (Suggested by Olivier).

v5 --> v6:
- Renamed flag from MEMPOOL_F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS to
  MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS and updated API description (Suggested by
  Olivier)
- Muxed _ALIGNED capability flag with _PHY_CONTIG per v5 thread [5].
- Renamed API from rte_mempool_ops_update_range to 
  rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area (Suggested by Olivier)
- Upadted API description for FLAGS and API both (Suggested by Olivier).

Refer individual patch for detailed change history.


v4 --> v5:
- Replaced mp param with flags param in xmem_size/_usage() api. (Suggested by
  Olivier)
- Renamed flags from MEMPOOL_F_POOL_BLK_SZ_ALIGNED to
  MEMPOOL_F_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS (suggested by Olivier)
- added flag param in get_capabilities() handle (suggested by Olivier)


v3 --> v4:
* [01 - 02 - 03/07] mempool deprecation notice changes.
* [04 - 05 - 06 - 07/07] are v3 patches.

v2 --> v3:
(Note: v3 work is based on deprecation notice [1], It's for 17.11)
* Changed _version.map from 17.08 to 17.11.
* build fixes reported by stv_sys.
* Patchset rebased on upstream commit: da94a999.


v1 --> v2 :
* [01/06] Per deprecation notice [1], Changed rte_mempool 'flag'
  data type from int to unsigned int and removed flag param
  from _xmem_size/usage api.
* [02/06] Incorporated review feedback from v1 [2] (Suggested by Olivier)
* [03/06] Renamed flag to MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG
  and comment reworded. (Suggested by Olivier per v1 [3])
* [04/06] added new mempool arg in xmem_size/usage. (Suggested by Olivier)
* [05/06] patch description changed.
        - Removed elseif brakcet mix
        - removed sanity check for alignment
        - removed extra var delta
        - Removed __rte_unused from xmem_usage/size and added _BLK_SZ_ALIGN check.
        (Suggeted by Olivier per v1[4])
* [06/06] Added RTE_FUNC_PTR_OR_RET in rte_mempool_ops_update_ops.

Checkpatch status:
CLEAN.

Thanks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 2/8] mempool: change flags from int to unsigned int

[Santosh Shukla]

mp->flags is int and mempool API writes unsigned int
value in 'flags', so fix the 'flags' data type.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 3/8] mempool: add flags arg in xmem size and usage

[Santosh Shukla]

xmem_size and xmem_usage need to know the status of mempool flags,
so add 'flags' arg in _xmem_size/usage() api.

Following patch will make use of that.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 6/8] mempool: detect physical contiguous object in pool

[Santosh Shukla]

The memory area containing all the objects must be physically
contiguous.
Introducing MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_PHYS_CONTIG flag for such use-case.

The flag useful to detect whether pool area has sufficient space
to fit all objects. If not then return -ENOSPC.
This way, we make sure that all object within a pool is contiguous.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 7/8] mempool: introduce block size align flag

[Santosh Shukla]

Some mempool hw like octeontx/fpa block, demands block size
(/total_elem_sz) aligned object start address.

Introducing an MEMPOOL_F_CAPA_BLK_ALIGNED_OBJECTS flag.
If this flag is set:
- Align object start address(vaddr) to a multiple of total_elt_sz.
- Allocate one additional object. Additional object is needed to make
  sure that requested 'n' object gets correctly populated.

Example:
- Let's say that we get 'x' size of memory chunk from memzone.
- And application has requested 'n' object from mempool.
- Ideally, we start using objects at start address 0 to...(x-block_sz)
  for n obj.
- Not necessarily first object address i.e. 0 is aligned to block_sz.
- So we derive 'offset' value for block_sz alignment purpose i.e..'off'.
- That 'off' makes sure that start address of object is blk_sz aligned.
- Calculating 'off' may end up sacrificing first block_sz area of
  memzone area x. So total number of the object which can fit in the
  pool area is n-1, Which is incorrect behavior.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 8/8] mempool: notify memory area to pool

[Santosh Shukla]

HW pool manager e.g. Octeontx SoC demands s/w to program start and end
address of pool. Currently, there is no such api in external mempool.
Introducing rte_mempool_ops_register_memory_area api which will let HW(pool
manager) to know when common layer selects hugepage:
For each hugepage - Notify its start/end address to HW pool manager.
