[PATCH 0/2] iavf: use ptype for LLDP and add AVX2 ctx paths

[Ciara Loftus]

This series changes the iavf driver to use the mbuf packet type
field instead of a dynamic field for LLDP packets, and adds new AVX2
context descriptor Tx paths which support LLDP.

[PATCH 1/2] net/iavf: use mbuf packet type instead of dynfield for LLDP

[Ciara Loftus]

Instead of using a dynamic mbuf field to flag a packet as LLDP, instead
utilise the mbuf packet type field as the identifier instead. If the
type is RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_LLDP the packet is identified as LLDP. This
approach is preferable because the use of dynamic mbuf fields should be
reserved for features that are not easily implemented using the existing
mbuf infrastructure. No negative performance impacts were observed with
the new approach.

For ABI compatibility, though, I think we need to keep the old method of
identifying LLDP packets there too. While I completely agree that using
packet types is the better approach, we need to go through a deprecation
process for the old dynamic field method, though.

Rather than a private function, this looks something that should be a
feature flag or capability somewhere, e.g. like TSO.

I will submit a v2 supporting both the dynfield and ptype approach, and a
deprecation notice flagging the future removal of the dynfield.

I think that would be a neater solution for iavf, but I
can't find any evidence of any other driver requiring this
sort of explicit enabling of LLDP as a feature. So it would
be hard to justify adding such a feature flag/capability
when it looks like there might only be one driver to use it.
I will consider this some more.
Since we are keeping the dynfield implementation for now,
registering the dynfield is equivalent to enabling the
feature so we don't need an API like this in the v2. When we
eventually remove the dynfield I will try to find a better
solution for enabling the feature, that isn't a private
function.

[PATCH 2/2] net/iavf: add AVX2 context descriptor Tx paths

[Ciara Loftus]

Prior to this commit the transmit paths implemented for AVX2 used the
transmit descriptor only, making some offloads and features unavailable
on the AVX2 path, like LLDP. Enable two new AVX2 transmit paths, both
of which support using a context descriptor, one which performs offload
and the other which does not.

[PATCH v2 0/3] iavf: LLDP ptype and AVX2 ctx paths

[Ciara Loftus]

This series adds another way to detect LLDP packets in the Tx paths
of the iavf PMD, which is based on the mbuf packet type field. This is
in addition to the existing method of using a dynamic field. The series
also adds new AVX2 context descriptor Tx paths that support LLDP. Finally,
a deprecation notice is added to the documentation to flag that the
dynamic mbuf field method of LLDP packet detection will be removed in a
future release.

v2:
* Support both dynfield and ptype to preserve ABI
* Add deprecation notice for dynfield approach

[PATCH v2 1/3] net/iavf: support LLDP Tx based on mbuf ptype or dynfield

[Ciara Loftus]

Prior to this commit the only way to flag to the iavf PMD that an mbuf
contained an LLDP packet intended for transmission was to register and
set a dynamic mbuf field. This commit introduces an alternative
approach: rather than setting the dynamic mbuf field, the user may
instead set the packet type of the mbuf to RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_LLDP. If
the LLDP feature is enabled (ie. if the dynamic mbuf field is
registered), on Tx the driver will check both the dynamic mbuf field and
the packet type, and if either indicates that the packet is an LLDP
packet, it will be transmitted.

Using the packet type to identify an LLDP packet instead of the dynamic
mbuf field is preferred because the use of dynamic mbuf fields should be
reserved for features that are not easily implemented using the existing
mbuf infrastructure. Also, it may remove some overhead in the
application if the Rx driver sets the packet type to LLDP as that would
remove the burden from the application to explicitly set any fields
before Tx. It is intended that the dynamic mbuf field approach will be
removed in a future release, at which point only the packet type
approach will be supported. A deprecation notice announcing this
intention will be submitted separately.

[PATCH v2 2/3] net/iavf: add AVX2 context descriptor Tx paths

[Ciara Loftus]

Prior to this commit the transmit paths implemented for AVX2 used the
transmit descriptor only, making some offloads and features unavailable
on the AVX2 path, like LLDP. Enable two new AVX2 transmit paths, both
of which support using a context descriptor, one which performs offload
and the other which does not.

[PATCH v2 3/3] doc: announce change to LLDP packet detection in iavf PMD

[Ciara Loftus]

The iavf PMD transmit paths currently use two methods to
identify if an mbuf holds an LLDP packet: a dynamic mbuf
field and the mbuf ptype. A future release will remove the
dynamic mbuf field approach at which point the ptype will be
the only approach used.

 * bus/vmbus: Starting DPDK 25.11, all the vmbus API defined in
   ``drivers/bus/vmbus/rte_bus_vmbus.h`` will become internal to DPDK.
   Those API functions are used internally by DPDK core and netvsc PMD.

+* net/iavf: The method of detecting an LLDP packet on the transmit path
+  in the iavf PMD will be changed. Instead of using either a dynamic mbuf
+  field or the mbuf ptype, only the mbuf ptype will be used.
