[PATCH 00/20] promote long standing experimental API to stable

[PATCH 00/20] promote long standing experimental API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The experimental tag is supposed to be temporary: a way to ship an API
while its shape is still being settled. In practice many symbols keep
the tag long after the interface has stopped changing. That discourages
use, because applications reasonably avoid an API that advertises it may
disappear, and it hides the small number of APIs that really are still
in flux.

This series promotes 196 symbols across fifteen libraries. The oldest
date from 20.11 and the bulk are three years old or more. In every case
the prototype has not changed since it was introduced, and most are in
use by in-tree applications, examples or drivers.

By introduction release:

  20.11  SWX port, table and pipeline API
  21.05  SWX fd and ring ports, wildcard match table,
         cryptodev raw enqueue/dequeue and mbuf-to-vec helpers
  21.08  SWX selector table
  21.11  SWX learner table
  22.07  SWX hash function registration, learner timeout and rearm
  22.11  SWX pipeline lookup and code generation
  23.03  SWX RSS and IPsec, cryptodev algorithm name helpers
  23.07  pdcp library, node ip6 route and rewrite
  23.11  dispatcher library, node ip4 reassembly and udp4 input,
         power uncore environment and frequency list
  24.03  argparse parse and parse_type, node ethdev rx next update
  24.07  hash RCU queue reclaim, mempool memory range and
         object alignment getters
  24.11  power PM QoS, thash key generation, eal lcore variables,
         cryptodev asymmetric opcap check
  25.03  soring enqueue, dequeue, acquire and release,
         cmdline bool token ops
  25.07  node ip4/ip6 FIB and mbuf dynfield register,
         rte_memzero_explicit, rte_free_sensitive, rte_size_to_str
  25.11  argparse print_help, rte_basename,
         ethdev link connector to string

Where a library had nothing left to keep experimental the file level
"all functions in this file may be changed or removed" warnings are
dropped as well, along with the then unused rte_compat.h includes.

The node library deserves a note. Most of its headers carried that file
level warning while rte_node_ip4_route_add() and rte_node_ip4_rewrite_add()
sat underneath it as stable exports, so the warning was already wrong.
The whole library is promoted. An API that cannot be declared stable
after several releases of use is not helping anyone, and should be
removed rather than left in limbo.

Deliberately left experimental:

  - trace point symbols (__rte_*_trace_*) in eal, ethdev, eventdev,
    cryptodev, dmadev, bbdev and mempool
  - debug and dump output whose format may still change:
    rte_soring_dump, rte_ring_headtail_dump, rte_bbdev_queue_ops_dump,
    rte_bbdev_ops_param_string and rte_bbdev_ops_trace
  - APIs with only one implementation, where the interface should not
    be frozen before a second driver has tried to use it.
  - the metrics rte_metrics_tel_* API, which has no in-tree users and
    should be deprecated rather than promoted; a deprecation notice
    will be sent separately
  - new subsystems that have not had a release of real use: the
    eventdev vector adapter, the graph feature arc and the pmu
    library (all 25.07), and the dmadev access pair group API (25.11)
  - the soring peek API, rte_eth_get_queue_rate_limit,
    rte_mempool_stats_reset and rte_bbdev_queue_stats_get, added in
    26.07
  - rte_cpu_socket_id, added this release
  - rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queues_add, deferred in commit
    42235267000c ("eventdev/eth_rx: promote adapter API to stable")
  - eal rte_vfio_get_device_info, left alone while the VFIO rework is
    in progress
  - rte_str_skip_leading_spaces, a static inline in rte_string_fns.h
    with no exported symbol; it can follow separately
  - mbuf history API; debug and new in 25.11

No change in functionality, and test results are the same as
before these changes.

[PATCH 01/20] eal: add missing export for rte_basename

[Stephen Hemminger]

The export for rte_basename was missed on the Windows version.
If it is a public API it needs to be on all OS's supported.

rte_basename() was added in 25.11 as a portable replacement for
basename(), whose behaviour differs between the POSIX and GNU versions.
The prototype has not changed.

[PATCH 03/20] eal: promote explicit zero and sensitive free to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

rte_memzero_explicit() and rte_free_sensitive() were added in 25.07 and
have not changed since. They are used by the QAT crypto driver for
asymmetric and symmetric session keys and by the ixgbe IPsec code, which
are exactly the sensitive data paths they exist for.

An API for clearing keys is of little use to applications while it is
marked as subject to change, so promote it.

[PATCH 05/20] eal: promote lcore variables API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

rte_lcore_var_alloc() was added in 24.11 and has not changed. The
RTE_LCORE_VAR_* macros that form the public interface were never marked
experimental, so the header carried a file level warning while the
macros applications actually use looked stable.

The API is used by rte_random, rte_service, the x86 power intrinsics and
the power PMD management code. Promote the allocator and drop the file
level warning.

[PATCH 07/20] ethdev: promote link connector to string to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

rte_eth_link_connector_to_str() was added in 25.11 and has not changed.
It is a pure enum to string helper with no driver involvement, like the
already stable rte_eth_link_speed_to_str().

The xstats counter enable and query functions are left experimental.
They are currently implemented only by net/mlx5, so the interface
should not be frozen before a second driver has tried to use it.

[PATCH 08/20] port: promote SWX port API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The SWX port ops structures have been experimental since 20.11 (ethdev,
source/sink) and 21.05 (fd, ring). They have not changed since being
introduced and are the only port API remaining now that the legacy
rte_port_* API has been removed, so there is no reason to keep them
experimental.

[PATCH 09/20] table: promote SWX table API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The SWX table symbols have been experimental since 20.11 (exact match),
21.05 (wildcard match), 21.08 (selector) and 21.11 (learner), with only
the learner timeout and rearm additions in 22.07 being more recent.

The interface has been unchanged for several releases and is the only
table API remaining now that the legacy rte_table_* API has been
removed, so promote it to stable.

[PATCH 10/20] pipeline: promote SWX IPsec API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The rte_swx_ipsec_* symbols have been experimental since 23.03 and have
had no functional change since. Promote them to stable along with the
rest of the SWX pipeline API.

[PATCH 11/20] pipeline: promote SWX pipeline and control API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The rte_swx_pipeline_* symbols date from 20.11, with later additions for
the register and meter arrays (21.05), selector (21.08), learner (21.11),
hash function registration (22.07), pipeline lookup and code generation
(22.11) and RSS (23.03). The rte_swx_ctl_* control plane symbols span the
same range of releases.

The API has been in use unchanged for several releases and is the only
pipeline API remaining now that the legacy rte_pipeline_* API has been
removed, so promote it to stable.

The pipeline and control parts are promoted together because they cannot
be separated: rte_swx_ctl.h declares symbols defined in both
rte_swx_ctl.c and rte_swx_pipeline.c, so dropping __rte_experimental from
that header requires updating the exports in both files at once.

[PATCH 12/20] power: promote PM QoS and uncore API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The PM QoS API (rte_power_qos_{set,get}_cpu_resume_latency) has been
experimental since 24.11, and the uncore environment and frequency list
functions (rte_power_{set,unset,get}_uncore_env, rte_power_uncore_freqs)
since 23.11.

These interfaces have not changed since they were introduced and the
rest of the uncore API is already stable, so promote them.

[PATCH 13/20] ring: promote soring API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The staged ordered ring (soring) API was introduced in 25.03 and the
core enqueue, dequeue, acquire and release functions have not changed
since.

Promote those to stable. The peek API added in 26.07 is left
experimental since it is only one release old, as is the soring and
ring headtail dump debug output which may still change.

[PATCH 14/20] dispatcher: promote API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The dispatcher library was added in 23.11 and none of its functions
have changed since. It has been experimental for two years, which is
long enough to call the interface settled.

Promote all of it: the whole library is covered by a single file level
experimental warning in the header, so there is nothing left to keep
experimental once the symbols are promoted.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>

[PATCH 15/20] argparse: promote API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The rte_argparse_parse() and rte_argparse_parse_type() functions were
added in 24.03 and rte_argparse_print_help() in 25.11. No prototype has
changed and they are used by the EAL option parsing as well as several
applications and examples, so the interface is settled.

This promotes the whole library, so the header no longer needs
rte_compat.h.

[PATCH 16/20] node: promote API to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The node control path functions were added between 23.07 and 25.07 and
none of the prototypes have changed. They are used by the graph
application and the l3fwd-graph example.

Most of the node headers carried a file level warning claiming that all
functions in the file may be changed or removed. That warning was
already wrong, since rte_node_ip4_route_add() and friends have been
stable for years while sitting under it.

Promote the whole library and drop those warnings. An API that cannot
be declared stable after several releases of use is not useful to
applications and should be removed instead.

[PATCH 17/20] hash: promote RCU reclaim and thash key generation to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

rte_hash_rcu_qsbr_dq_reclaim() was added in 24.07 and
rte_thash_gen_key() in 24.11. Neither prototype has changed and the
rest of both APIs is already stable.

[PATCH 18/20] cryptodev: promote algorithm helpers to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

The algorithm name lookup helpers were added in 23.03 and the
asymmetric opcap check in 24.11. The inline raw enqueue/dequeue and
mbuf-to-vec helpers date back to 21.05. None of them have changed and
all are driver independent.

The queue pair reset, event error query and queue pair depth functions
are left experimental. They are currently implemented only by
crypto/cnxk, so the interface should not be frozen before a second
driver has tried to use it.

The PDCP library was added in 23.07 and none of its functions have
changed since. The whole library was experimental, including the inline
packet pre and post process helpers, so there is nothing left to keep
experimental once the symbols are promoted.

[PATCH 20/20] mempool: promote memory range and alignment to stable

[Stephen Hemminger]

rte_mempool_get_mem_range() and rte_mempool_get_obj_alignment() were
added in 24.07 and have not changed since. The bulk of the mempool API
is already stable.

The trace points and rte_mempool_stats_reset() from 26.07 are left
experimental.

This would be better done as a bulleted list so it can be easily added to
by patches. Patch 2 of this set should start by adding to release note:

* Promoted the following APIs to stable:
  - ``rte_basename`` in EAL

with the later patches adding a new bullet each time.

Though see previous comment about release note entries. This might be
better just as a bullet under a main stabilization heading.
