[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/9] raw/ioat: driver for Intel QuickData Technology

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

This patch series adds support for the Intel QuickData Technology
device, part of the Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel I/OAT). It
is a raw device for allowing hardware DMA i.e. data copies in hardware.

Performing the copies in hardware can provide performance improvements
for applications where the average copy size is reasonably large, e.g.
1k packets. For smaller packets, e.g. 64-256 bytes, offloading the copy
may reduce performance due to the overhead of using hardware.

V5:
 * updated doxygen comment for internal rawdev pmd API

V4:
 * changed memory management to use contiguous memzones instead of
   malloc memory
 * added missing device ids for BDX platforms
 * other misc cleanup following review (see individual patches logs)

V3:
 * removed DPDK-specific structure for the descriptor format and reused
   the structure in the imported file rte_ioat_spec.h

V2:
* moved tests to rawdev selftest function
* some checkpatch and other small cleanups
* added extra documentation details on supported hardware
* aligned the changes to dpdk-devbind with the changes in the NTB set
  for consistency


Bruce Richardson (9):
  rawdev: allow devices to skip extra memory allocation
  raw/ioat: add initial support for ioat rawdev driver
  usertools/dpdk-devbind.py: add support for IOAT devices
  raw/ioat: add register definition file
  raw/ioat: create device on probe and destroy on release
  raw/ioat: add device info function
  raw/ioat: add configure, start and stop functions
  raw/ioat: add statistics functions
  raw/ioat: add local API to perform copies
