Moving struct rte_intr_handle as an internal structure to
avoid any ABI breakages in future. Since this structure defines
some static arrays and changing respective macros breaks the ABI.
Eg:
Currently RTE_MAX_RXTX_INTR_VEC_ID imposes a limit of maximum 512
MSI-X interrupts that can be defined for a PCI device, while PCI
specification allows maximum 2048 MSI-X interrupts that can be used.
If some PCI device requires more than 512 vectors, either change the
RTE_MAX_RXTX_INTR_VEC_ID limit or dynamically allocate based on
PCI device MSI-X size on probe time. Either way its an ABI breakage.

Change already included in 21.11 ABI improvement spreadsheet (item 42):

This series makes struct rte_intr_handle totally opaque to the outside
world by wrapping it inside a .c file and providing get set wrapper APIs
to read or manipulate its fields.. Any changes to be made to any of the
fields should be done via these get set APIs.
Introduced a new eal_common_interrupts.c where all these APIs are defined
and also hides struct rte_intr_handle definition.

Details on each patch of the series:
Patch 1: eal: interrupt handle API prototypes
This patch provides prototypes of all the new get set APIs, and
also rearranges the headers related to interrupt framework. Epoll
related definitions prototypes are moved into a new header i.e.
rte_epoll.h and APIs defined in rte_eal_interrupts.h which were
driver specific are moved to rte_interrupts.h (as anyways it was
accessible and used outside DPDK library. Later in the series
rte_eal_interrupts.h is removed.

Patch 2: eal/interrupts: implement get set APIs
Implementing all get, set and alloc APIs. Alloc APIs are implemented
to allocate memory for interrupt handle instance. Currently most of
the drivers defines interrupt handle instance as static but now it cant
be static as size of rte_intr_handle is unknown to all the drivers.
Drivers are expected to allocate interrupt instances during initialization
and free these instances during cleanup phase.

Patch 3: eal/interrupts: avoid direct access to interrupt handle
Modifying the interrupt framework for linux and freebsd to use these
get set alloc APIs as per requirement and avoid accessing the fields
directly.

Patch 4: test/interrupt: apply get set interrupt handle APIs
Updating interrupt test suite to use interrupt handle APIs.

Patch 5: drivers: remove direct access to interrupt handle fields
Modifying all the drivers and libraries which are currently directly
accessing the interrupt handle fields. Drivers are expected to
allocated the interrupt instance, use get set APIs with the allocated
interrupt handle and free it on cleanup.

Patch 6: eal/interrupts: make interrupt handle structure opaque
In this patch rte_eal_interrupt.h is removed, struct rte_intr_handle
definition is moved to c file to make it completely opaque. As part of
interrupt handle allocation, array like efds and elist(which are currently
static) are dynamically allocated with default size
(RTE_MAX_RXTX_INTR_VEC_ID). Later these arrays can be reallocated as per
device requirement using new API rte_intr_handle_event_list_update().
Eg, on PCI device probing MSIX size can be queried and these arrays can
be reallocated accordingly.

Patch 7: eal/alarm: introduce alarm fini routine
Introducing alarm fini routine, as the memory allocated for alarm interrupt
instance can be freed in alarm fini.

Testing performed:
1. Validated the series by running interrupts and alarm test suite.
2. Validate l3fwd power functionality with octeontx2 and i40e intel cards,
   where interrupts are expected on packet arrival.

Defining protypes of get/set APIs for accessing/manipulating
interrupt handle fields.

Internal interrupt header i.e. rte_eal_interrupt.h is rearranged,
as APIs defined are moved to rte_interrupts.h and epoll specific
definitions are moved to a new header rte_epoll.h.
Later in the series rte_eal_interrupt.h will be removed.

From: Harman Kalra @ 2021-08-26 14:57 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dev, Harman Kalra, Bruce Richardson

Making changes to the interrupt framework to use interrupt handle
APIs to get/set any field. Direct access to any of the fields
should be avoided to avoid any ABI breakage in future.

rather use respective get set APIs for the same.
Making changes to all the drivers and libraries access the
interrupt handle fields.

From: Harman Kalra @ 2021-08-26 14:57 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dev, Anatoly Burakov, Harman Kalra

Moving interrupt handle structure definition inside the c file
to make its fields totally opaque to the outside world.

Dynamically allocating the efds and elist array os intr_handle
structure, based on size provided by user. Eg size can be
MSIX interrupts supported by a PCI device.

Seems strange putting the API changes as a separate patch?

Moving struct rte_intr_handle as an internal structure to
avoid any ABI breakages in future. Since this structure defines
some static arrays and changing respective macros breaks the ABI.
Eg:
Currently RTE_MAX_RXTX_INTR_VEC_ID imposes a limit of maximum 512
MSI-X interrupts that can be defined for a PCI device, while PCI
specification allows maximum 2048 MSI-X interrupts that can be used.
If some PCI device requires more than 512 vectors, either change the
RTE_MAX_RXTX_INTR_VEC_ID limit or dynamically allocate based on
PCI device MSI-X size on probe time. Either way its an ABI breakage.

Change already included in 21.11 ABI improvement spreadsheet (item 42):

This series makes struct rte_intr_handle totally opaque to the outside
world by wrapping it inside a .c file and providing get set wrapper APIs
to read or manipulate its fields.. Any changes to be made to any of the
fields should be done via these get set APIs.
Introduced a new eal_common_interrupts.c where all these APIs are defined
and also hides struct rte_intr_handle definition.

Details on each patch of the series:
Patch 1: eal: interrupt handle API prototypes
This patch provides prototypes of all the new get set APIs, and
also rearranges the headers related to interrupt framework. Epoll
related definitions prototypes are moved into a new header i.e.
rte_epoll.h and APIs defined in rte_eal_interrupts.h which were
driver specific are moved to rte_interrupts.h (as anyways it was
accessible and used outside DPDK library. Later in the series
rte_eal_interrupts.h is removed.

Patch 2: eal/interrupts: implement get set APIs
Implementing all get, set and alloc APIs. Alloc APIs are implemented
to allocate memory for interrupt handle instance. Currently most of
the drivers defines interrupt handle instance as static but now it cant
be static as size of rte_intr_handle is unknown to all the drivers.
Drivers are expected to allocate interrupt instances during initialization
and free these instances during cleanup phase.

Patch 3: eal/interrupts: avoid direct access to interrupt handle
Modifying the interrupt framework for linux and freebsd to use these
get set alloc APIs as per requirement and avoid accessing the fields
directly.

Patch 4: test/interrupt: apply get set interrupt handle APIs
Updating interrupt test suite to use interrupt handle APIs.

Patch 5: drivers: remove direct access to interrupt handle fields
Modifying all the drivers and libraries which are currently directly
accessing the interrupt handle fields. Drivers are expected to
allocated the interrupt instance, use get set APIs with the allocated
interrupt handle and free it on cleanup.

Patch 6: eal/interrupts: make interrupt handle structure opaque
In this patch rte_eal_interrupt.h is removed, struct rte_intr_handle
definition is moved to c file to make it completely opaque. As part of
interrupt handle allocation, array like efds and elist(which are currently
static) are dynamically allocated with default size
(RTE_MAX_RXTX_INTR_VEC_ID). Later these arrays can be reallocated as per
device requirement using new API rte_intr_handle_event_list_update().
Eg, on PCI device probing MSIX size can be queried and these arrays can
be reallocated accordingly.

Patch 7: eal/alarm: introduce alarm fini routine
Introducing alarm fini routine, as the memory allocated for alarm interrupt
instance can be freed in alarm fini.

Testing performed:
1. Validated the series by running interrupts and alarm test suite.
2. Validate l3fwd power functionality with octeontx2 and i40e intel cards,
   where interrupts are expected on packet arrival.

v1:
* Fixed freebsd compilation failure
* Fixed seg fault in case of memif

Defining protypes of get/set APIs for accessing/manipulating
interrupt handle fields.

Internal interrupt header i.e. rte_eal_interrupt.h is rearranged,
as APIs defined are moved to rte_interrupts.h and epoll specific
definitions are moved to a new header rte_epoll.h.
Later in the series rte_eal_interrupt.h will be removed.

From: Harman Kalra @ 2021-09-03 12:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dev, Harman Kalra, Bruce Richardson

Making changes to the interrupt framework to use interrupt handle
APIs to get/set any field. Direct access to any of the fields
should be avoided to avoid any ABI breakage in future.

Removing direct access to interrupt handle structure fields,
rather use respective get set APIs for the same.
Making changes to all the drivers and libraries access the
interrupt handle fields.
