A new sample app demonstrating use of driver for CBDMA.
The app receives packets, performs software or hardware
copy, changes packets' MAC addresses (if enabled) and
forwards them. The patch includes sample application
as well as it's guide.

> +Sample Application of packet copying using Intel\|reg| QuickData Technology
> +============================================================================
> +
> +Overview
> +--------
> +
> +This sample is intended as a demonstration of the basic components of a DPDK
> +forwarding application and example of how to use IOAT driver API to make
> +packets copies.
> +
> +Also while forwarding, the MAC addresses are affected as follows:
> +
> +*   The source MAC address is replaced by the TX port MAC address
> +
> +*   The destination MAC address is replaced by  02:00:00:00:00:TX_PORT_ID
> +
> +This application can be used to compare performance of using software packet
> +copy with copy done using a DMA device for different sizes of packets.
> +The example will print out statistics each second. The stats shows
> +received/send packets and packets dropped or failed to copy.
> +
> +Compiling the Application
> +-------------------------
> +
> +To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
> +
> +The application is located in the ``ioat`` sub-directory.
> +
> +
> +Running the Application
> +-----------------------
> +
> +In order to run the hardware copy application, the copying device
> +needs to be bound to user-space IO driver.
> +
> +Refer to the *IOAT Rawdev Driver for Intel\ |reg| QuickData Technology*
> +guide for information on using the driver.
> +
> +The application requires a number of command line options:
> +
> +.. code-block:: console
> +
> +    ./build/ioatfwd [EAL options] -- -p MASK [-C CT] [--[no-]mac-updating]

> +the copy. For each configuration an additional lcore is needed since

> +printing and safe deinitialization of all ports and devices.
> +

> +Explanation
> +-----------
> +
> +The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
> +code.
> +
> +All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with
> +``rte_`` and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
> +
> +
> +The Main Function
> +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> +
> +The ``main()`` function performs the initialization and calls the execution
> +threads for each lcore.
> +
> +The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).
> +The ``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
> +function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
> +
> +.. code-block:: c
> +
> +    /* init EAL */
> +    ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
> +    if (ret < 0)
> +        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Invalid EAL arguments\n");
> +
> +
> +The ``main()`` also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs (Message Buffers)
> +used by the application:
> +
> +.. code-block:: c
> +
> +    nb_mbufs = RTE_MAX(rte_eth_dev_count_avail() * (nb_rxd + nb_txd
> +        + MAX_PKT_BURST + rte_lcore_count() * MEMPOOL_CACHE_SIZE),
> +        MIN_POOL_SIZE);
> +
> +    /* Create the mbuf pool */
> +    ioat_pktmbuf_pool = rte_pktmbuf_pool_create("mbuf_pool", nb_mbufs,
> +        MEMPOOL_CACHE_SIZE, 0, RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE,
> +        rte_socket_id());
> +    if (ioat_pktmbuf_pool == NULL)
> +        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot init mbuf pool\n");
> +
> +Mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
> +detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
> +
> +The ``main()`` function also initializes the ports:
> +
> +.. code-block:: c
> +
> +    /* Initialise each port */
> +    RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV(portid) {
> +        port_init(portid, ioat_pktmbuf_pool);
> +    }
> +
> +Each port is configured using ``port_init()``:

> +
> +    static inline void
> +    port_init(uint16_t portid, struct rte_mempool *mbuf_pool)

You'll need to add the pmd_ioat dependency to this example it seems:

Actually, its added. What I think is missing is a check to disable the app
if the dependency is not available.

I think the app uses lower case "c" rather than upper case, as called out
below. Since the "CT" value can only be one of two possibilities, I think
you should explicitly include them, e.g. "[-c <sw|rawdev>]". "rawdev" is
also a rather long name for this parameter, why not just call them sw and
hw?

This parameter is missing from the summary above.

Two thoughts here:
a) is this not obvious from the parameter list
b) is not more that two configurations, given that you can have:
  * sw copy with mac updating
  * sw copy without mac updating
  * etc.
not including the possibly port-mask, ring size and single-core vs two core
configurations.

I believe the app also supports running with 1 or 2 cores total, right?

Seems a low max, assume this is actually the default burst size?

For these stats, it would be nice to have deltas i.e. pps, rather than (or
as well as) the raw packet count numbers. Since your main stats loop below
has a "sleep(1)" at the start, just computing the deltas should give a good
enough PPS value.

You need a space before the |reg| bit otherwise the reg doesn't get the symbol replaced. It should be "Intel\ |reg|".
[Marcin] Will fix this in v2

I think the app uses lower case "c" rather than upper case, as called out below. Since the "CT" value can only be one of two possibilities, I think you should explicitly include them, e.g. "[-c <sw|rawdev>]". "rawdev" is also a rather long name for this parameter, why not just call them sw and hw?
[Marcin] Yes, it should be lower case. It is my mistake, the doc was not updated before sending patch. Proper guide is already prepared for v2. As for the "rawdev" parameter name, I will correct it.

This parameter is missing from the summary above.
[Marcin] Didn't update doc along with code. It is fixed for v2.

Two thoughts here:
a) is this not obvious from the parameter list
b) is not more that two configurations, given that you can have:
  * sw copy with mac updating
  * sw copy without mac updating
  * etc.
not including the possibly port-mask, ring size and single-core vs two core configurations.
[Marcin] Good point. I will rephrase that.

I believe the app also supports running with 1 or 2 cores total, right?
[Marcin]Yes, that's right. Didn't update doc along with code. It is fixed for v2.

Why this limitation?
[Marcin] Seemed reasonable since on testing machine one IOAT device had 8 channels.

For these stats, it would be nice to have deltas i.e. pps, rather than (or as well as) the raw packet count numbers. Since your main stats loop below has a "sleep(1)" at the start, just computing the deltas should give a good enough PPS value.
[Marcin] Ok, will be prepared for v2 as PPS value.

+Sample Application of packet copying using Intel\|reg| QuickData Technology
+============================================================================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This sample is intended as a demonstration of the basic components of a DPDK
+forwarding application and example of how to use IOAT driver API to make
+packets copies.
+
+Also while forwarding, the MAC addresses are affected as follows:
+
+*   The source MAC address is replaced by the TX port MAC address
+
+*   The destination MAC address is replaced by  02:00:00:00:00:TX_PORT_ID
+
+This application can be used to compare performance of using software packet
+copy with copy done using a DMA device for different sizes of packets.
+The example will print out statistics each second. The stats shows
+received/send packets and packets dropped or failed to copy.
+
+Compiling the Application
+-------------------------
+
+To compile the sample application see :doc:`compiling`.
+
+The application is located in the ``ioat`` sub-directory.
+
+
+Running the Application
+-----------------------
+
+In order to run the hardware copy application, the copying device
+needs to be bound to user-space IO driver.
+
+Refer to the *IOAT Rawdev Driver for Intel\ |reg| QuickData Technology*
+guide for information on using the driver.
+
+The application requires a number of command line options:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    ./build/ioatfwd [EAL options] -- -p MASK [-C CT] [--[no-]mac-updating]
+
+where,
+
+*   p MASK: A hexadecimal bitmask of the ports to configure
+
+*   c CT: Performed packet copy type: software (sw) or hardware using
+    DMA (rawdev)
+
+*   s RS: size of IOAT rawdev ring for hardware copy mode or rte_ring for
+    software copy mode
+
+*   --[no-]mac-updating: Whether MAC address of packets should be changed
+    or not
+
+The application can be launched in 2 different configurations:
+
+*   Performing software packet copying
+
+*   Performing hardware packet copying
+
+Each port needs 2 lcores: one of them receives incoming traffic and makes
+a copy of each packet. The second lcore then updates MAC address and sends
+the copy. For each configuration an additional lcore is needed since
+master lcore in use which is responsible for configuration, statistics
+printing and safe deinitialization of all ports and devices.
+
+The application can use a maximum of 8 ports.
+
+To run the application in a Linux environment with 3 lcores (one of them
+is master lcore), 1 port (port 0), software copying and MAC updating issue
+the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ ./build/ioatfwd -l 0-2 -n 2 -- -p 0x1 --mac-updating -c sw
+
+To run the application in a Linux environment with 5 lcores (one of them
+is master lcore), 2 ports (ports 0 and 1), hardware copying and no MAC
+updating issue the command:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ ./build/ioatfwd -l 0-4 -n 1 -- -p 0x3 --no-mac-updating -c rawdev
+
+Refer to the *DPDK Getting Started Guide* for general information on
+running applications and the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL) options.
+
+Explanation
+-----------
+
+The following sections provide an explanation of the main components of the
+code.
+
+All DPDK library functions used in the sample code are prefixed with
+``rte_`` and are explained in detail in the *DPDK API Documentation*.
+
+
+The Main Function
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``main()`` function performs the initialization and calls the execution
+threads for each lcore.
+
+The first task is to initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).
+The ``argc`` and ``argv`` arguments are provided to the ``rte_eal_init()``
+function. The value returned is the number of parsed arguments:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    /* init EAL */
+    ret = rte_eal_init(argc, argv);
+    if (ret < 0)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Invalid EAL arguments\n");
+
+
+The ``main()`` also allocates a mempool to hold the mbufs (Message Buffers)
+used by the application:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    nb_mbufs = RTE_MAX(rte_eth_dev_count_avail() * (nb_rxd + nb_txd
+        + MAX_PKT_BURST + rte_lcore_count() * MEMPOOL_CACHE_SIZE),
+        MIN_POOL_SIZE);
+
+    /* Create the mbuf pool */
+    ioat_pktmbuf_pool = rte_pktmbuf_pool_create("mbuf_pool", nb_mbufs,
+        MEMPOOL_CACHE_SIZE, 0, RTE_MBUF_DEFAULT_BUF_SIZE,
+        rte_socket_id());
+    if (ioat_pktmbuf_pool == NULL)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot init mbuf pool\n");
+
+Mbufs are the packet buffer structure used by DPDK. They are explained in
+detail in the "Mbuf Library" section of the *DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
+
+The ``main()`` function also initializes the ports:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    /* Initialise each port */
+    RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV(portid) {
+        port_init(portid, ioat_pktmbuf_pool);
+    }
+
+Each port is configured using ``port_init()``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static inline void
+    port_init(uint16_t portid, struct rte_mempool *mbuf_pool)
+    {
+        struct rte_eth_rxconf rxq_conf;
+        struct rte_eth_txconf txq_conf;
+        struct rte_eth_conf local_port_conf = port_conf;
+        struct rte_eth_dev_info dev_info;
+        int ret;
+
+        /* Skip ports that are not enabled */
+        if ((ioat_enabled_port_mask & (1 << portid)) == 0) {
+            printf("Skipping disabled port %u\n", portid);
+            return;
+        }
+
+        /* Init port */
+        printf("Initializing port %u... ", portid);
+        fflush(stdout);
+        rte_eth_dev_info_get(portid, &dev_info);
+        if (dev_info.tx_offload_capa & DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE)
+            local_port_conf.txmode.offloads |=
+                DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MBUF_FAST_FREE;
+        ret = rte_eth_dev_configure(portid, 1, 1, &local_port_conf);
+        if (ret < 0)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot configure device: err=%d, port=%u\n",
+                    ret, portid);
+
+        ret = rte_eth_dev_adjust_nb_rx_tx_desc(portid, &nb_rxd,
+                            &nb_txd);
+        if (ret < 0)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+                    "Cannot adjust number of descriptors: err=%d, port=%u\n",
+                    ret, portid);
+
+        rte_eth_macaddr_get(portid, &ioat_ports_eth_addr[portid]);
+
+        /* Init one RX queue */
+        fflush(stdout);
+        rxq_conf = dev_info.default_rxconf;
+        rxq_conf.offloads = local_port_conf.rxmode.offloads;
+        ret = rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(portid, 0, nb_rxd,
+                        rte_eth_dev_socket_id(portid),
+                        &rxq_conf,
+                        mbuf_pool);
+        if (ret < 0)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_rx_queue_setup:err=%d, port=%u\n",
+                    ret, portid);
+
+        /* Init one TX queue on each port */
+        fflush(stdout);
+        txq_conf = dev_info.default_txconf;
+        txq_conf.offloads = local_port_conf.txmode.offloads;
+        ret = rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(portid, 0, nb_txd,
+                rte_eth_dev_socket_id(portid),
+                &txq_conf);
+        if (ret < 0)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_tx_queue_setup:err=%d, port=%u\n",
+                ret, portid);
+
+        /* Initialize TX buffers */
+        tx_buffer[portid] = rte_zmalloc_socket("tx_buffer",
+                RTE_ETH_TX_BUFFER_SIZE(MAX_PKT_BURST), 0,
+                rte_eth_dev_socket_id(portid));
+        if (tx_buffer[portid] == NULL)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Cannot allocate buffer for tx "
+                    "on port %u\n", portid);
+
+        rte_eth_tx_buffer_init(tx_buffer[portid], MAX_PKT_BURST);
+
+        ret = rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback(tx_buffer[portid],
+                rte_eth_tx_buffer_count_callback,
+                &port_statistics[portid].tx_dropped);
+        if (ret < 0)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+            "Cannot set error callback for tx buffer on port %u\n",
+                    portid);
+
+        /* Start device */
+        ret = rte_eth_dev_start(portid);
+        if (ret < 0)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_dev_start:err=%d, port=%u\n",
+                    ret, portid);
+
+        rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(portid);
+
+        printf("Port %u, MAC address: %02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X:%02X\n\n",
+                portid,
+                ioat_ports_eth_addr[portid].addr_bytes[0],
+                ioat_ports_eth_addr[portid].addr_bytes[1],
+                ioat_ports_eth_addr[portid].addr_bytes[2],
+                ioat_ports_eth_addr[portid].addr_bytes[3],

+                ioat_ports_eth_addr[portid].addr_bytes[5]);
+    }
+
+The Ethernet ports are configured with local settings using the
+``rte_eth_dev_configure()`` function and the ``port_conf`` struct:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
+        .rxmode = {
+            .max_rx_pkt_len = RTE_ETHER_MAX_LEN,
+        },
+    };
+
+For this example the ports are set up with 1 RX and 1 TX queue using the
+``rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()`` and ``rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()`` functions.
+
+The Ethernet port is then started:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    ret = rte_eth_dev_start(portid);
+    if (ret < 0)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "rte_eth_dev_start:err=%d, port=%u\n",
+            ret, portid);
+
+
+Finally the RX port is set in promiscuous mode:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    rte_eth_promiscuous_enable(portid);
+
+
+After that each port application assigns resources needed.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    check_link_status(ioat_enabled_port_mask);
+
+    if (!cfg.nb_ports) {
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+            "All available ports are disabled. Please set portmask.\n");
+    }
+
+    /* Check if there is enough lcores for all ports. */
+    cfg.nb_lcores = rte_lcore_count() - 1;
+    if (cfg.nb_lcores < 1)
+        rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+            "There should be at least one slave lcore.\n");
+
+    ret = 0;
+
+    if (copy_mode == COPY_MODE_IOAT_NUM) {
+        assign_rawdevs();
+    } else /* copy_mode == COPY_MODE_SW_NUM */ {
+        assign_rings();
+    }
+
+A link status is checked of each port enabled by port mask
+using ``check_link_status()`` function.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    /* Check the link status of all ports in up to 9s, and print them finally */
+    static void
+    check_link_status(uint32_t port_mask)
+    {
+
+        uint16_t portid;

+
+Depending on mode set (whether copy should be done by software or by hardware)
+special structures are assigned to each port. If software copy was chosen,
+application have to assign ring structures for packet exchanging between lcores
+assigned to ports.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static void
+    assign_rings(void)
+    {
+        uint32_t i;
+
+        for (i = 0; i < cfg.nb_ports; i++) {

+                    ring_name, ring_size,
+                    rte_socket_id(), RING_F_SP_ENQ);
+
+            if (cfg.ports[i].rx_to_tx_ring == NULL)
+                rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "%s\n",
+                        rte_strerror(rte_errno));
+        }
+    }
+
+
+When using hardware copy each port is assigned an IOAT device
+(``assign_rawdevs()``) using IOAT Rawdev Driver API functions:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static void
+    assign_rawdevs(void)
+    {
+        uint16_t nb_rawdev = 0;
+        uint32_t i;
+
+        for (i = 0; i < cfg.nb_ports; i++) {
+            struct rte_rawdev_info rdev_info = {0};
+            rte_rawdev_info_get(0, &rdev_info);
+
+            if (strcmp(rdev_info.driver_name, "rawdev_ioat") == 0) {
+                configure_rawdev_queue(i);
+                cfg.ports[i].dev_id = i;
+                ++nb_rawdev;
+            }
+        }
+
+        RTE_LOG(INFO, IOAT, "Number of used rawdevs: %u.\n", nb_rawdev);
+
+        if (nb_rawdev < cfg.nb_ports)
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Not enough IOAT rawdevs (%u) for ports (%u).\n",
+                    nb_rawdev, cfg.nb_ports);
+    }
+
+
+The initialization of hardware device is done by ``rte_rawdev_configure()``
+function and ``rte_rawdev_info`` struct. After configuration the device is
+started using ``rte_rawdev_start()`` function. Each of the above operations
+is done in ``configure_rawdev_queue()``.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static void
+    configure_rawdev_queue(uint32_t dev_id)
+    {
+        struct rte_rawdev_info info = { .dev_private = &dev_config };
+
+        /* Configure hardware copy device */
+        dev_config.ring_size = ring_size;
+
+        if (rte_rawdev_configure(dev_id, &info) != 0) {
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+                "Error with rte_rawdev_configure()\n");
+        }
+        rte_rawdev_info_get(dev_id, &info);
+        if (dev_config.ring_size != ring_size) {
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+                "Error, ring size is not %d (%d)\n",
+                ring_size, (int)dev_config.ring_size);
+        }
+        if (rte_rawdev_start(dev_id) != 0) {
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
+                "Error with rte_rawdev_start()\n");
+        }
+    }
+
+If initialization is successful memory for hardware device
+statistics is allocated.
+
+Finally ``main()`` functions starts all processing lcores and starts
+printing stats in a loop on master lcore. The application can be
+interrupted and closed using ``Ctrl-C``. The master lcore waits for
+all slave processes to finish, deallocates resources and exits.
+
+The processing lcores launching function are described below.
+
+The Lcores Launching Functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As described above ``main()`` function invokes ``run_transmission()``
+function in order to start processing for each lcore:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static void run_transmission(void)
+    {
+        uint32_t lcore_id = rte_lcore_id();
+
+        RTE_LOG(INFO, IOAT, "Entering %s on lcore %u\n",
+                __func__, rte_lcore_id());
+
+        if (cfg.nb_lcores == 1) {
+            lcore_id = rte_get_next_lcore(lcore_id, true, true);
+            rte_eal_remote_launch((lcore_function_t *)rxtx_main_loop, NULL, lcore_id);
+        } else if (cfg.nb_lcores > 1) {
+            lcore_id = rte_get_next_lcore(lcore_id, true, true);
+            rte_eal_remote_launch((lcore_function_t *)rx_main_loop, NULL, lcore_id);
+
+            lcore_id = rte_get_next_lcore(lcore_id, true, true);
+            rte_eal_remote_launch((lcore_function_t *)tx_main_loop, NULL, lcore_id);
+        }
+    }
+
+The function launches rx/tx processing functions on configured lcores
+for each port using ``rte_eal_remote_launch()``. The configured ports,
+their number and number of assigned lcores are stored in user-defined
+``rxtx_transmission_config`` struct that is initialized before launching
+tasks:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    struct rxtx_transmission_config {
+        struct rxtx_port_config ports[RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS];
+        uint16_t nb_ports;
+        uint16_t nb_lcores;
+    };
+
+The Lcores Processing Functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For receiving packets on each port an ``ioat_rx_port()`` function is used.
+Depending on mode the user chose, it will enqueue packets to IOAT rawdev
+and then invoke copy process (hardware copy), or perform software copy
+of each packet using ``pktmbuf_sw_copy()`` function and enqueue them to
+rte_ring:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    /* Receive packets on one port and enqueue to IOAT rawdev or rte_ring. */
+    static void
+    ioat_rx_port(struct rxtx_port_config *rx_config)
+    {
+        uint32_t nb_rx, nb_enq, i;
+        struct rte_mbuf *pkts_burst[MAX_PKT_BURST];
+
+        nb_rx = rte_eth_rx_burst(rx_config->rx_portId, 0,
+            pkts_burst, MAX_PKT_BURST);
+
+        if (nb_rx == 0)
+            return;
+
+        port_statistics[rx_config->rx_portId].rx += nb_rx;
+
+        if (copy_mode == COPY_MODE_IOAT_NUM) {
+            /* Perform packet hardware copy */
+            nb_enq = ioat_enqueue_packets(rx_config,
+                pkts_burst, nb_rx);
+
+            if (nb_enq > 0)
+                rte_ioat_do_copies(rx_config->dev_id);
+        } else {
+            /* Perform packet software copy, free source packets */
+            int ret;
+            struct rte_mbuf *pkts_burst_copy[MAX_PKT_BURST];
+
+            ret = rte_pktmbuf_alloc_bulk(ioat_pktmbuf_pool,
+                    pkts_burst_copy, nb_rx);
+
+            if (unlikely(ret < 0))
+                rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Unable to allocate memory.\n");
+
+            for (i = 0; i < nb_rx; i++) {
+                pktmbuf_sw_copy(pkts_burst[i], pkts_burst_copy[i]);
+                rte_pktmbuf_free(pkts_burst[i]);
+            }
+
+            nb_enq = rte_ring_enqueue_burst(rx_config->rx_to_tx_ring,
+                (void *)pkts_burst_copy, nb_rx, NULL);
+
+            /* Free any not enqueued packets. */
+            for (i = nb_enq; i < nb_rx; i++)
+                rte_pktmbuf_free(pkts_burst_copy[i]);
+        }
+
+        port_statistics[rx_config->rx_portId].copy_dropped
+            += (nb_rx - nb_enq);
+    }
+
+The packets are received in burst mode using ``rte_eth_rx_burst()``
+function. When using hardware copy mode the packets are enqueued in
+copying device's buffer using ``ioat_enqueue_packets()`` which calls
+``rte_ioat_enqueue_copy()``. When all received packets are in the
+buffer the copies are invoked by calling ``rte_ioat_do_copies()``.
+Function ``rte_ioat_enqueue_copy()`` operates on physical address of
+the packet. Structure ``rte_mbuf`` contains only physical address to
+start of the data buffer (``buf_iova``). Thus the address is shifted
+by ``addr_offset`` value in order to get pointer to ``rearm_data``
+member of ``rte_mbuf``. That way the packet is copied all at once
+(with data and metadata).
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static uint32_t
+    ioat_enqueue_packets(struct rxtx_port_config *rx_config,
+        struct rte_mbuf **pkts, uint32_t nb_rx)
+    {
+        int ret;
+        uint32_t i;
+        struct rte_mbuf *pkts_copy[MAX_PKT_BURST];
+
+        const uint64_t addr_offset = RTE_PTR_DIFF(pkts[0]->buf_addr,
+            &pkts[0]->rearm_data);
+
+        ret = rte_pktmbuf_alloc_bulk(ioat_pktmbuf_pool, pkts_copy, nb_rx);
+
+        if (unlikely(ret < 0))
+            rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Unable to allocate memory.\n");
+
+        for (i = 0; i < nb_rx; i++) {
+            /* Perform data copy */
+            ret = rte_ioat_enqueue_copy(rx_config->dev_id,
+                pkts[i]->buf_iova
+                    - addr_offset,
+                pkts_copy[i]->buf_iova
+                    - addr_offset,
+                rte_pktmbuf_data_len(pkts[i])
+                    + addr_offset,
+                (uintptr_t)pkts[i],
+                (uintptr_t)pkts_copy[i],
+                0 /* nofence */);
+
+            if (ret != 1)
+                break;
+        }
+
+        ret = i;
+        /* Free any not enqueued packets. */
+        for (; i < nb_rx; i++) {
+            rte_pktmbuf_free(pkts[i]);
+            rte_pktmbuf_free(pkts_copy[i]);
+        }
+
+        return ret;
+    }
+
+
+All done copies are processed by ``ioat_tx_port()`` function. When using
+hardware copy mode the function invokes ``rte_ioat_completed_copies()``
+to gather copied packets. If software copy mode is used the function
+dequeues copied packets from rte_ring. Then each packet MAC address
+is changed if it was enabled. After that copies are sent in burst mode
+using `` rte_eth_tx_burst()``.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    /* Transmit packets from IOAT rawdev/rte_ring for one port. */
+    static void
+    ioat_tx_port(struct rxtx_port_config *tx_config)

+    }
+
+The Packet Copying Functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to perform packet copy there is a user-defined function
+``pktmbuf_sw_copy()`` used. It copies a whole packet by copying
+metadata from source packet to new mbuf, and then copying a data
+chunk of source packet. Both memory copies are done using
+``rte_memcpy()``:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    static inline void
+    pktmbuf_sw_copy(struct rte_mbuf *src, struct rte_mbuf *dst)
+    {
+        /* Copy packet metadata */
+        rte_memcpy(&dst->rearm_data,
+            &src->rearm_data,
+            offsetof(struct rte_mbuf, cacheline1)
+                - offsetof(struct rte_mbuf, rearm_data));
+
+        /* Copy packet data */
+        rte_memcpy(rte_pktmbuf_mtod(dst, char *),
+            rte_pktmbuf_mtod(src, char *), src->data_len);
+    }
+
+The metadata in this example is copied from ``rearm_data`` member of
+``rte_mbuf`` struct up to ``cacheline1``.
+
+In order to understand why software packet copying is done as shown
+above please refer to the "Mbuf Library" section of the
+*DPDK Programmer's Guide*.
