[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 0/5] runtime queue setup

[Qi Zhang]

From: Qi Zhang <Qi.z.zhang at intel.com>

v7:
- update default.ini and i40e.ini.
- rename runtime_queue_setup_capa to dev_capa for generic. 
- testpmd queue setup command be moved to "ports" command group.
- remove ring_size and offload from queue setup command in testpmd.
- enable per queue config in testpmd.
- enable queue ring size configure command in testpmd.
- fix couple typo.

TODO:
  queue offload config commmand is not implemented yet, but per queue 
  configure data structure is already supported in PATCH 3

v6:
- fix tx queue state check in rte_eth_rx_queue_setup
- fix error message in testpmd.

v5:
- fix first tx queue check in i40e.

v4:
- fix i40e rx/tx funciton conflict handle.
- no need conflict check for first rx/tx queue at runtime setup.
- fix missing offload paramter in testpmd cmdline.

v3:
- not overload deferred start.
- rename deferred setup to runtime setup.
- remove unecessary testpmd parameters (patch 2/4 of v2)
- add offload support to testpmd queue setup command line
- i40e fix: return fail when required rx/tx function conflict with
  exist setup.

v2:
- enhance comment in rte_ethdev.h

According to exist implementation,rte_eth_[rx|tx]_queue_setup will
always return fail if device is already started(rte_eth_dev_start).

This can't satisfied the usage when application want to deferred setup
part of the queues while keep traffic running on those queues already
be setup.

example:
rte_eth_dev_config(nb_rxq = 2, nb_txq =2)
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx = 0 ...)
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx = 0 ...)
rte_eth_dev_start(...) /* [rx|tx]_burst is ready to start on queue 0 */
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx=1 ...) /* fail*/

Basically this is not a general hardware limitation, because for NIC
like i40e, ixgbe, it is not necessary to stop the whole device before
configure a fresh queue or reconfigure an exist queue with no traffic
on it.

The patch let etherdev driver expose the capability flag through
rte_eth_dev_info_get when it support deferred queue configuraiton,
then base on these flag, rte_eth_[rx|tx]_queue_setup could decide
continue to setup the queue or just return fail when device already
started.
