Hemant Agrawal Jan. 18, 2018, 1:26 p.m. UTC
This patch add support for various mempool ops config helper APIs.

1.User defined mempool ops
2.Platform detected HW mempool ops (active).
3.Best selection of mempool ops by looking into user defined,
  platform registered and compile time configured.

I have some doubts about secondary processes.

Maybe it's ok if the loaded driver and eal arguments are exactly the
same in the secondary process. It would be safer to use a named memzone
for that.

It would be even safer to not use secondary processes ;)

We have "register" for platform and "set" for user.
I think "set" should be used everywhere.

If strlen(ops_name) >= RTE_MEMPOOL_OPS_NAMESIZE, this may lead to
bad behavior.

I suggest to simply do a strdup() instead.

So, this log means that a we should try to never have 2 drivers registering
different platform drivers on the same machine, right?

So this API is kind of reserved for network processors and should not be
used in usual PCI PMDs?

Instead of calling the EAL API, we can set a static variable as
for platform ops.

And here, I suggest instead:

	rte_mbuf_user_mempool_ops(void)
	{
		if (user_mbuf_pool_ops_name != NULL)
			return user_mbuf_pool_ops_name;
		return rte_eal_mbuf_default_mempool_ops();
	}

i.e. rte_eal_mbuf_default_mempool_ops() remains the ops passed as
command line arguments.

I like this function, this is much clearer than what we have today :)

Typically a secondary process should not set the platform mempool name.
I can also add a check to know if secondary process is trying to do it.

Yes. I can change it to a named memzone.

That should not happen, we can check that.

Well, strdup based string will not be readable/accessible from the 
secondary process?

No, PCI PMDs can also use it. But only one registration allowed for now.

As I mentioned in the cover letter:
~~~~~
This logic can be further extended with addition for following
patch, which is still under discussion. The ethdev PMD capability exposed
through existing rte_eth_dev_pool_ops_supported() to select the update
the mempool ops with some "weight" based algorithm like:
http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/32245/

With a memzone, maybe there is even no need for a static variable.
Something like this?

set():
  mz = rte_memzone_lookup("mbuf_platform_pool_ops");
  if (mz == NULL) {
    mz = rte_memzone_reszerve("mbuf_platform_pool_ops", LEN);
    if (mz == NULL)
      return -rte_errno; /* << this even protects against a set() in a 2nd process */
  }
  if (strlen(name) >= LEN)
    return -ENAMETOOLONG;
  strncpy(mz->addr, name, LEN);


get():
  mz = rte_memzone_lookup("mbuf_platform_pool_ops");
  if (mz == NULL)
    return NULL;
  return mz->addr;

Correct.
something to check the length should be added though.
