The ultimate goal is to remove all traces of the legacy filtering API
from ethdev_driver.h and rte_eth_ctrl.h (whole file).

This is just one more step of cleanup in progress.
The next steps will require the involvement of some driver maintainers.

Thomas Monjalon (2):
  ethdev: replace callback getting filter operations
  drivers/net: remove explicit include of legacy filtering

Since rte_flow is the only API for filtering operations,
the legacy driver interface filter_ctrl was too much complicated
for the simple task of getting the struct rte_flow_ops.

The filter type RTE_ETH_FILTER_GENERIC and
the filter operarion RTE_ETH_FILTER_GET are removed.
The new driver callback flow_ops_get replaces filter_ctrl.

The header file rte_eth_ctrl.h should not be needed because
this legacy filtering API is completely replaced with the rte_flow API.
However some definitions from this file are still used by some drivers,
but such usage is already covered by an implicit include via rte_ethdev.h.

How about to change the return type to "const struct rte_flow_ops *" directly ?

typedef const struct rte_flow_ops * (*eth_flow_ops_get_t)(struct rte_eth_dev *dev);

A couple of minor notes below. Other than that:

Mass substitution is dangerous. I guess this one is not
intended.

I'm OK with the callback prototype. I think there is no point
to optimize it and make ops a return value. It is called in
just one place. Nothing to optimize.

If the callback return error code, may be it should be used
and forwarded here?

Not sure.
Returning an int may allow different error codes.
Any opinions?

I would keep int return value. There is no point to optimize it
(make it simpler). It is called in just one place where
int return value may be used/forwarded (see my review notes).

Yes you are right.
Strange that it was not already forwarded.

NULL ops means ENOSYS, non-NULL ops means that PMD can have different
runtime ops ? Just guess. ;-)

The ultimate goal is to remove all traces of the legacy filtering API
from ethdev_driver.h and rte_eth_ctrl.h (whole file).

This is just one more step of cleanup in progress.
The next steps will require the involvement of some driver maintainers.


v2:
    - remove changes in release notes
    - forward error code from flow_ops_get in rte_flow_ops_get
    - introduce error codes ENOTSUP and EACCES in rte_flow_ops_get
    - no change in eth_flow_ops_get_t: return explicit error code

Since rte_flow is the only API for filtering operations,
the legacy driver interface filter_ctrl was too much complicated
for the simple task of getting the struct rte_flow_ops.

The filter type RTE_ETH_FILTER_GENERIC and
the filter operarion RTE_ETH_FILTER_GET are removed.
The new driver callback flow_ops_get replaces filter_ctrl.

The header file rte_eth_ctrl.h should not be needed because
this legacy filtering API is completely replaced with the rte_flow API.
However some definitions from this file are still used by some drivers,
but such usage is already covered by an implicit include via rte_ethdev.h.

It looks something new. I think it should be mentioned in flow_ops_get
type documentation (similar to eth_promiscuous_enable_t) and
rte_flow_validate() etc functions
return values description.

It is an internal function used only in rte_flow.c.
The real consequence is to set rte_errno in a lot of rte_flow API.
Not sure there is a good way to document the code details.
Other codes are not documented in rte_flow.h

First of all it is a behaviour of the flow_ops_get callback and
driver developers should know that it is a legal to return 0 and
ops==NULL and know what it means.

Second, it is visible as rte_flow_validate() (and other functions
which use rte_flow_ops_get()) return value value which has
special meaning. So, should be documented.

The combination code 0 and ops NULL is not new.
Previously, it was returning ENOSYS.
I've just given a more meaningful error code: EACCES,
while replacing ENOSYS with ENOTSUP for the other case.

> Second, it is visible as rte_flow_validate() (and other functions

> special meaning. So, should be documented.

Yes, I should update the API doc where ENOSYS was mentioned.
Or probably better: I should keep the error code ENOSYS
and do not break API.
Preference?

It is described as:
   -ENOTSUP: valid but unsupported rule specification (e.g.
   partial bit-masks are unsupported).
So, it looks different. May be it is really better to keep
ENOSYS.

Yes, exactly. What I'm trying to say that it would be
helpful to make it a bit more transparent to PMD developers.
Yes, it was not documented before, I agree. I think it is
a good time to improve documentation.

Good question. I think we should not distinguish NULL callback
and NULL ops returned by not-NULL callback. So, I think
keeping ENOSYS is the best option here.

OK, thank you for the review.
So the conclusion is: keep ENOSYS and document NULL ops case.

After more thoughts, I don't think we need to insist on the NULL ops case.
The function rte_flow_ops_get returns the ops,
and it is documented that returning NULL is an error.
So the function is just setting ENOSYS error code to have
an error code associated with returning NULL.
For the PMD, returning an ops NULL has no interest.

May be I misunderstand above, but

One driver may support different NIC types. It could support flow API
for one NIC type and do not support for another. Sometimes it could
be easier to sort it out in flow ops get callback rather than
provide different set of ethdev ops callback. If so, returning NULL
ops makes sense and easier way to say that flow API is not supported
(vs, for example, providing dummy callbacks which return ENOSYS).

Yes you're right, returning NULL ops may have an interest.
I will document it in eth_flow_ops_get_t.

The ultimate goal is to remove all traces of the legacy filtering API
from ethdev_driver.h and rte_eth_ctrl.h (whole file).

This is just one more step of cleanup in progress.
The next steps will require the involvement of some driver maintainers.


v3:
    - keep ENOSYS error code
    - add comments about error reasons
v2:
    - remove changes in release notes
    - forward error code from flow_ops_get in rte_flow_ops_get
    - introduce error codes ENOTSUP and EACCES in rte_flow_ops_get
    - no change in eth_flow_ops_get_t: return explicit error code

Since rte_flow is the only API for filtering operations,
the legacy driver interface filter_ctrl was too much complicated
for the simple task of getting the struct rte_flow_ops.

The filter type RTE_ETH_FILTER_GENERIC and
the filter operarion RTE_ETH_FILTER_GET are removed.
The new driver callback flow_ops_get replaces filter_ctrl.

The header file rte_eth_ctrl.h should not be needed because
this legacy filtering API is completely replaced with the rte_flow API.
However some definitions from this file are still used by some drivers,
but such usage is already covered by an implicit include via rte_ethdev.h.

Although this will work, if the above drives are using the defines from the 
header file, isn't it better to include it explicitly?

What is the benefit of including the header implicitly?

The benefit is to progressively remove rte_eth_ctrl.h.
I want it to disappear.

This is just hiding its usage, the patch is not making it less used as a step 
forward to remove it.
But anyway I guess it doesn't worth spending more time to discuss it ...

Yes you're right. The only step forward is esthetic:
hiding something which should be removed.
And maybe some of these files don't need the include at all.

Feel free to reject if you feel it is not a good step.

What do you think doing exact opposite,

remove "#include <rte_eth_ctrl.h>" from 'rte_ethdev.h',
and include 'rte_eth_ctrl.h' explicitly where ever it is required,

this can make more clear what components use the 'rte_eth_ctrl.h' and why, which 
may help clearing them to remove the header. Plus it highlights if a new PMD 
wants to use the header, we can catch it easier.

When I tried above approach, it highlighted that not only drivers, libraries 
also using this header, 'librte_ehtdev' & 'librte_flow_classify'.
And for 'ethdev', the structs defined in the 'rte_eth_ctrl.h' are part of public 
structs, so it is hard to remove them.
Some PMD specific APIs also needs 'rte_eth_ctrl.h' header, but that is hidden 
because of the implicit include, but again some structs in the 'rte_eth_ctrl.h' 
are part of public APIs (although they are experimental).

Also, it turned out that same required headers in the drivers are hidden because 
of this implicit include in 'rte_ethdev.h', I will send a fix for it soon.

Applied to dpdk-next-net/main, thanks.

(extern from 'dpaa2_ethdev.h' removed while merging)

Only 1/2 merged, 2/2 can be discussed more or merged later.
