[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/5] add LSC and Rxq interrupt for virtio-user

[Jianfeng Tan]

v2:
  - Drop the support of LSC for virtio-user + vhost-kernel as the backend.
  - Rearrange the sequence of intr config and DRIVER_OK.
  - Address comments from yuanhan.
  - Update doc.

This is an attempt to add LSC and Rxq interrupt for a virtual device,
virtio-user (with the backend of both vhost-user and vhost-kernel).

We need to support:
Case 1. Rxq interrupt for virtio-user + vhost-user as the backend.
Case 2. LSC interrupt for virtio-user + vhost-user as the backend.
Case 3. Rxq interrupt for virtio-user + vhost-kernel as the backend.

Another case is not supported now as we did not find a way to monitor
tap device up/down events:
  - LSC interrupt for virtio-user + vhost-kernel as the backend.

HOW TO TEST:

Step 1: start testpmd with a virtual vhost device:
  $ testpmd -c 0x3 -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --no-pci \
	  --vdev 'eth_vhost0,iface=/tmp/sock0' -- -i

Step 2: start l3fwd-power with a virtio-user device:
  $ l3fwd-power -c 0xc -n 4 --socket-mem 1024 --no-pci \
	  --file-prefix=l3fwd-pwd \
	  --vdev=virtio_user0,path=/tmp/sock0 \
	  -- -p 1 -P --config="(0,0,1)" \
	  --no-numa --parse-ptype

Step 3: start burst in testpmd
  (testpmd)> start tx_first

  Packets will be received and forwarded back by l3fwd-power.
  And l3fwd-power will keep in polling mode.

Step 4: stop burst in testpmd
  (testpmd)> stop

  l3fwd-power will change to interrupt mode with few CPU
  consumption.

Step 5: kill testpmd
  $ kill -p `pidof testpmd`

  The link status will be changed to down in l3fwd-power.
