[PATCH v5 0/2] example/l3fwd: relax l3fwd rx RSS/Offload if needed

[Trevor Tao]

This series try to relax l3fwd rx RSS/Offload mode requirement if they
are not supported by underlying hw or virtual devices, there is an
option named relax_rx_mode added to enable this option.

[PATCH v5 1/2] examples/l3fwd: relax RSS requirement with option

[Trevor Tao]

Now the port Rx mq_mode had been set to RTE_ETH_MQ_RX_RSS
by default, but some hw and/or virtual interface does not
support the RSS and offload mode presupposed, e.g., some
virtio interfaces in the cloud don't support
RSS and the error msg may like:

virtio_dev_configure(): RSS support requested but not supported by
the device
Port0 dev_configure = -95

So to enable the l3fwd running in that environment, the Rx mode requirement
can be relaxed to reflect the hardware feature reality here, and the l3fwd
can run smoothly then.

An option named "disable-rss" is added to disable the RX RSS explicitly,
and it's disabled by default.

[PATCH v5 2/2] examples/l3fwd: relax RX Offload with option

[Trevor Tao]

Now the port Rx offload mode is set to RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_CHECKSUM
by default, but some hw and/or virtual interface does not support
the offload mode presupposed, e.g., some virtio interfaces in
the cloud may only partly support RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_UDP_CKSUM/
RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_TCP_CKSUM,
but not RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM, and the error msg here:

Ethdev port_id=0 requested Rx offloads 0xe does not match Rx offloads
capabilities 0x201d in rte_eth_dev_configure()

So to enable the l3fwd running in that environment, the Rx mode requirement
can be relaxed to reflect the hardware feature reality here with an option
relax_rx_offload, and the l3fwd can run smoothly then.
A warning msg would be provided to user in case it happens here.

On the other side, enabling the software cksum check in case missing the
hw support.

The relax action for rx cksum offload is just enabled when
relax_rx_offload is true which is false by default.

Actually, we probably also need to check for RTE_MBUF_F_RX_IP_CKSUM_BAD,
But that is a subject for another patch (fix actually).
