| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
