The patch introduces a new PMD. This PMD is implemented as thin wrapper
of librte_vhost.
I've submitted below patches in former patch sets. But it seems some issues
were fixed already.
- [PATCH 1/3] vhost: Fix return value of GET_VRING_BASE message
- [PATCH 2/3] vhost: Fix RESET_OWNER handling not to close callfd
- [PATCH 3/3] vhost: Fix RESET_OWNER handling not to free virtqueue
I've still seen some reasource leaks of vhost library, but in this RFC,
I focused on vhost PMD.
After I get agreement, I will submit a patch for the leak issue as separated
patch. So please check directionality of vhost PMD.
PATCH v3 changes:
- Optimize performance.
In RX/TX functions, change code to access only per core data.
- Add below API to allow user to use vhost library APIs for a port managed
by vhost PMD. There are a bit of limitations. See "rte_eth_vhost.h".
- rte_eth_vhost_portid2vdev()
To support this functionality, vhost library is also changed.
Anyway, if users doesn't use vhost PMD, can fully use vhost library APIs.
- Add code to support vhost multiple queues.
Actually, multiple queues functionality is not enabled so far.
