New features: - VLAN tag insertion on Tx and stripping on Rx - Runtime VLAN offload configuration via vlan_offload_set callback - Nanosecond precision timestamps (when hardware/libpcap supports it) - Accurate link state, speed, and duplex reporting in interface mode - Link status change (LSC) interrupt support in interface mode - EOF notification via link status change for rx_pcap mode - Support for Windows interface mode - Advertise RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MULTI_SEGS capability - Configurable snapshot length via snapshot_len devarg Bug fixes: - Fix multi-segment transmit to dynamically allocate instead of silently truncating packets larger than 9K stack buffer - Change Tx burst to always consume all packets; failed sends increment error counter rather than leaving mbufs for retry (pcap_sendpacket failures are not transient) - Reject non-Ethernet interfaces to prevent malformed packets and kernel warnings on FreeBSD/macOS loopback - Fix infinite_rx ring fill applying VLAN strip and timestamp offloads to template packets, preventing those offloads from working correctly during packet delivery Code cleanup: - Convert internal flags from int to bool - Remove unnecessary casts of void* from rte_zmalloc - Replace rte_malloc/rte_memcpy with libc equivalents in osdep code - Include headers explicitly rather than relying on indirect includes - Remove unnecessary volatile qualifier on statistics - Reduce scope of file-level variables - Defer pcap handle opening until device start - Use bulk free for better Tx performance Testing: - Add comprehensive unit test suite covering basic operations, timestamps, jumbo frames, VLAN handling, multi-queue, and more - Test discovers network interfaces using pcap_findalldevs API for portable interface enumeration across Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows - New tests for runtime VLAN offload toggle, VLAN strip with infinite_rx mode, and timestamp generation in infinite_rx mode v14: - Add LSC interrupt support for iface mode using alarm-based polling - Add EOF devarg for rx_pcap mode: signals end-of-file via link down and LSC event (mutually exclusive with infinite_rx) - Fix mbuf leak in eth_pcap_tx() when dropping oversized multi-segment packets (missing rte_pktmbuf_free before continue) - Fix rte_pktmbuf_read() NULL path falling through to success counters (num_tx/tx_bytes now inside else branch only) - Fix VLAN insert for indirect/shared mbufs: use rte_pktmbuf_adj() to advance data_off, preventing duplicated Ethernet header in the mbuf chain v13: - Fix VLAN insert to pass mbuf by reference so caller sees updated pointer after indirect mbuf handling - Fix VLAN insert error path to not free mbuf (let bulk free handle it, avoiding double-free) - Fix handling of pcap_sendpacket() errors - Fix theoretical format string overflows in test suite Stephen Hemminger (18): maintainers: update for pcap driver doc: update features for PCAP PMD net/pcap: include used headers net/pcap: remove unnecessary casts net/pcap: avoid using rte_malloc and rte_memcpy net/pcap: rework transmit burst handling net/pcap: consolidate boolean flag handling net/pcap: support VLAN strip and insert offloads net/pcap: add link state and speed for interface mode net/pcap: support nanosecond timestamp precision net/pcap: reject non-Ethernet interfaces net/pcap: reduce scope of file-level variables net/pcap: avoid use of volatile net/pcap: clarify maximum received packet net/pcap: add snapshot length devarg net/pcap: add link status change support for iface mode net/pcap: add EOF notification via link status change test: add comprehensive test suite for pcap PMD MAINTAINERS | 1 + app/test/meson.build | 2 + app/test/test_pmd_pcap.c | 3422 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ doc/guides/nics/features/pcap.ini | 9 + doc/guides/nics/pcap.rst | 41 + doc/guides/rel_notes/release_26_03.rst | 12 + drivers/net/pcap/pcap_ethdev.c | 920 +++++-- drivers/net/pcap/pcap_osdep.h | 39 + drivers/net/pcap/pcap_osdep_freebsd.c | 98 +- drivers/net/pcap/pcap_osdep_linux.c | 124 +- drivers/net/pcap/pcap_osdep_windows.c | 95 +- 11 files changed, 4524 insertions(+), 239 deletions(-) create mode 100644 app/test/test_pmd_pcap.c -- 2.51.0
