* dpdk: Add support for DPDK 18.11 APImattprost2022-04-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | Substituting old values to restore API breakage from DPDK 18.11 to DPDK 19. It is recommended at this point that users upgrade to more recent DPDK LTS versions, but the DPDK 18.11 API is functional with UHD. Signed-off-by: mattprost <matt.prost@ni.com>

* host: fix build with DPDK v21.11 LTSLuca Boccassi2022-01-201-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some APIs were changed with the latest DPDK LTS release, add some ifdefs to fix the build. Fixes https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/issues/547 Updated CMake file to reflect updated DPDK version. Fixed mbuf size to take ethernet headers into account. Updated documentation.

* dpdk: Add new DPDK stack to integrate with I/O servicesAlex Williams2019-12-201-9/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | docs: Update DPDK docs with new parameters: Parameter names have had their hyphens changed to underscores, and the I/O CPU argument is now named after the lcores and reflects the naming used by DPDK. transport: Add new udp_dpdk_link, based atop the new APIs: This link is tightly coupled with the DPDK I/O service. The link class carries all the address information to communicate with the other host, and it can send packets directly through the DPDK NIC ports. However, for receiving packets, the I/O service must pull the packets from the DMA queue and attach them to the appropriate link object. The link object merely formats the frame_buff object underneath, which is embedded in the rte_mbuf container. For get_recv_buff, the link will pull buffers only from its internal queue (the one filled by the I/O service). transport: Add DPDK-specific I/O service: The I/O service is split into two parts, the user threads and the I/O worker threads. The user threads submit requests through various appropriate queues, and the I/O threads perform all the I/O on their behalf. This includes routing UDP packets to the correct receiver and getting the MAC address of a destination (by performing the ARP request and handling the ARP replies). The DPDK context stores I/O services. The context spawns all I/O services on init(), and I/O services can be fetched from the dpdk_ctx object by using a port ID. I/O service clients: The clients have two lockless ring buffers. One is to get a buffer from the I/O service; the other is to release a buffer back to the I/O service. Threads sleeping on buffer I/O are kept in a separate list from the service queue and are processed in the course of doing RX or TX. The list nodes are embedded in the dpdk_io_if, and the head of the list is on the dpdk_io_service. The I/O service will transfer the embedded wait_req to the list if it cannot acquire the mutex to complete the condition for waking.
