+RegEx Device Library
+=====================
+
+The RegEx library provides a RegEx device framework for management and
+provisioning of hardware and software RegEx poll mode drivers, defining generic
+APIs which support a number of different RegEx operations.
+
+
+Design Principles
+-----------------
+
+The RegEx library follows the same basic principles as those used in DPDK's
+Ethernet Device framework and the Crypto framework. The RegEx framework provides
+a generic Crypto device framework which supports both physical (hardware)
+and virtual (software) RegEx devices as well as a generic RegEx API which allows
+RegEx devices to be managed and configured and supports RegEx operations to be
+provisioned on RegEx poll mode driver.
+
+
+Device Management
+-----------------
+
+Device Creation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Physical RegEx devices are discovered during the PCI probe/enumeration of the
+EAL function which is executed at DPDK initialization, based on
+their PCI device identifier, each unique PCI BDF (bus/bridge, device,
+function). Specific physical ReEx devices, like other physical devices in DPDK
+can be white-listed or black-listed using the EAL command line options.
+
+
+Device Identification
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each device, whether virtual or physical is uniquely designated by two
+identifiers:
+
+- A unique device index used to designate the RegEx device in all functions
+  exported by the regexdev API.
+
+- A device name used to designate the RegEx device in console messages, for
+  administration or debugging purposes.
+
+
+Device Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The configuration of each RegEx device includes the following operations:
+
+- Allocation of resources, including hardware resources if a physical device.
+- Resetting the device into a well-known default state.
+- Initialization of statistics counters.
+
+The rte_regexdev_configure API is used to configure a RegEx device.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   int rte_regexdev_configure(uint8_t dev_id,
+                              const struct rte_regexdev_config *cfg);
+
+The ``rte_regexdev_config`` structure is used to pass the configuration
+parameters for the RegEx device for example  number of queue pairs, number of
+groups, max number of matches and so on.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   struct rte_regexdev_config {
+        uint16_t nb_max_matches;
+        /**< Maximum matches per scan configured on this device.
+         * This value cannot exceed the *max_matches*
+         * which previously provided in rte_regexdev_info_get().
+         * The value 0 is allowed, in which case, value 1 used.
+         * @see struct rte_regexdev_info::max_matches
+         */
+        uint16_t nb_queue_pairs;
+        /**< Number of RegEx queue pairs to configure on this device.
+         * This value cannot exceed the *max_queue_pairs* which previously
+         * provided in rte_regexdev_info_get().
+         * @see struct rte_regexdev_info::max_queue_pairs
+         */
+        uint32_t nb_rules_per_group;
+        /**< Number of rules per group to configure on this device.
+         * This value cannot exceed the *max_rules_per_group*
+         * which previously provided in rte_regexdev_info_get().
+         * The value 0 is allowed, in which case,
+         * struct rte_regexdev_info::max_rules_per_group used.
+         * @see struct rte_regexdev_info::max_rules_per_group
+         */
+        uint16_t nb_groups;
+        /**< Number of groups to configure on this device.
+         * This value cannot exceed the *max_groups*
+         * which previously provided in rte_regexdev_info_get().
+         * @see struct rte_regexdev_info::max_groups
+         */
+        const char *rule_db;
+        /**< Import initial set of prebuilt rule database on this device.
+         * The value NULL is allowed, in which case, the device will not
+         * be configured prebuilt rule database. Application may use
+         * rte_regexdev_rule_db_update() or rte_regexdev_rule_db_import() API
+         * to update or import rule database after the
+         * rte_regexdev_configure().
+         * @see rte_regexdev_rule_db_update(), rte_regexdev_rule_db_import()
+         */
+        uint32_t rule_db_len;
+        /**< Length of *rule_db* buffer. */
+        uint32_t dev_cfg_flags;
+        /**< RegEx device configuration flags, See RTE_REGEXDEV_CFG_*  */
+    };
+
+
+Configuration of Rules Database
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each Regex device should be configured with the rule database.
+There are two modes of setting the rule database, online or offline.
+The online mode means, that the rule database in being compiled by the
+RegEx PMD while in the offline mode the rule database is compiled by external
+compiler, and is being loaded to the PMD as a buffer.
+The configuration mode is depended on the PMD capabilities.
+
+Online rule configuration is done using the following API functions:
+``rte_regexdev_rule_db_update`` which add / remove rules from the rules
+precomplied list, and ``rte_regexdev_rule_db_compile_activate``
+which compile the rules and loads them to the RegEx HW.
+
+Offline rule configuration can be done by adding a pointer to the compiled
+rule database in the configuration step, or by using
+``rte_regexdev_rule_db_import`` API.
+
+
+Configuration of Queue Pairs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each RegEx device can be configured with number of queue pairs.
+Each queue pair is configured using ``rte_regexdev_queue_pair_setup``
+
+
+Logical Cores, Memory and Queues Pair Relationships
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Multiple logical cores should never share the same queue pair for enqueuing
+operations or dequeuing operations on the same RegEx device since this would
+require global locks and hinder performance.
+
+
+Device Features and Capabilities
+---------------------------------
+
+RegEx devices may support different feature set.
+In order to get the supported PMD feature ``rte_regexdev_info_get``
+API which return the info of the device and it's supported features.
+
+
+Enqueue / Dequeue Burst APIs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The burst enqueue API uses a RegEx device identifier and a queue pair
+identifier to specify the device queue pair to schedule the processing on.
+The ``nb_ops`` parameter is the number of operations to process which are
+supplied in the ``ops`` array of ``rte_regex_ops`` structures.
+The enqueue function returns the number of operations it actually enqueued for
+processing, a return value equal to ``nb_ops`` means that all packets have been
+enqueued.
+
+Data pointed in each op, should not be released until the dequeue of for that
+op.
+
+The dequeue API uses the same format as the enqueue API of processed but
+the ``nb_ops`` and ``ops`` parameters are now used to specify the max processed
+operations the user wishes to retrieve and the location in which to store them.
+The API call returns the actual number of processed operations returned, this
+can never be larger than ``nb_ops``.

+ *   update the rule database and so on.
+ *
+ * - The driver-oriented RegEx API that exports a function allowing

+ *
+ * RegEx: A regular expression is a concise and flexible means for matching
+ * strings of text, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of
+ * characters. A common abbreviation for this is “RegEx”.
+ *
+ * RegEx device: A hardware or software-based implementation of RegEx
+ * device API for PCRE based pattern matching syntax and semantics.
+ *
+ * PCRE RegEx syntax and semantics specification:
+ * http://regexkit.sourceforge.net/Documentation/pcre/pcrepattern.html
+ *
+ * RegEx queue pair: Each RegEx device should have one or more queue pair to
+ * transmit a burst of pattern matching request and receive a burst of
+ * receive the pattern matching response. The pattern matching request/response
+ * embedded in *rte_regex_ops* structure.
+ *
+ * Rule: A pattern matching rule expressed in PCRE RegEx syntax along with
+ * Match ID and Group ID to identify the rule upon the match.
+ *
+ * Rule database: The RegEx device accepts regular expressions and converts them
+ * into a compiled rule database that can then be used to scan data.
+ * Compilation allows the device to analyze the given pattern(s) and
+ * pre-determine how to scan for these patterns in an optimized fashion that
+ * would be far too expensive to compute at run-time. A rule database contains
+ * a set of rules that compiled in device specific binary form.
+ *
+ * Match ID or Rule ID: A unique identifier provided at the time of rule
+ * creation for the application to identify the rule upon match.
+ *
+ * Group ID: Group of rules can be grouped under one group ID to enable
+ * rule isolation and effective pattern matching. A unique group identifier
+ * provided at the time of rule creation for the application to identify the
+ * rule upon match.
+ *
+ * Scan: A pattern matching request through *enqueue* API.
+ *
+ * It may possible that a given RegEx device may not support all the features
+ * of PCRE. The application may probe unsupported features through
+ * struct rte_regexdev_info::pcre_unsup_flags
+ *
+ * By default, all the functions of the RegEx Device API exported by a PMD
+ * are lock-free functions which assume to not be invoked in parallel on
+ * different logical cores to work on the same target object. For instance,
+ * the dequeue function of a PMD cannot be invoked in parallel on two logical
+ * cores to operates on same RegEx queue pair. Of course, this function
+ * can be invoked in parallel by different logical core on different queue pair.
+ * It is the responsibility of the upper level application to enforce this rule.
+ *
+ * In all functions of the RegEx API, the RegEx device is
+ * designated by an integer >= 0 named the device identifier *dev_id*
+ *
+ * At the RegEx driver level, RegEx devices are represented by a generic
+ * data structure of type *rte_regexdev*.
+ *
+ * RegEx devices are dynamically registered during the PCI/SoC device probing
+ * phase performed at EAL initialization time.
+ * When a RegEx device is being probed, a *rte_regexdev* structure and
+ * a new device identifier are allocated for that device. Then, the
+ * regexdev_init() function supplied by the RegEx driver matching the probed
+ * device is invoked to properly initialize the device.
+ *
+ * The role of the device init function consists of resetting the hardware or
+ * software RegEx driver implementations.
+ *
+ * If the device init operation is successful, the correspondence between
+ * the device identifier assigned to the new device and its associated
+ * *rte_regexdev* structure is effectively registered.
+ * Otherwise, both the *rte_regexdev* structure and the device identifier are
+ * freed.
+ *
+ * The functions exported by the application RegEx API to setup a device
+ * designated by its device identifier must be invoked in the following order:
+ *     - rte_regexdev_configure()
+ *     - rte_regexdev_queue_pair_setup()
+ *     - rte_regexdev_start()
+ *
+ * Then, the application can invoke, in any order, the functions
+ * exported by the RegEx API to enqueue pattern matching job, dequeue pattern
+ * matching response, get the stats, update the rule database,
+ * get/set device attributes and so on
+ *
+ * If the application wants to change the configuration (i.e. call
+ * rte_regexdev_configure() or rte_regexdev_queue_pair_setup()), it must call
+ * rte_regexdev_stop() first to stop the device and then do the reconfiguration
+ * before calling rte_regexdev_start() again. The enqueue and dequeue
+ * functions should not be invoked when the device is stopped.
+ *
+ * Finally, an application can close a RegEx device by invoking the
+ * rte_regexdev_close() function.
+ *
+ * Each function of the application RegEx API invokes a specific function
+ * of the PMD that controls the target device designated by its device
+ * identifier.
+ *
+ * For this purpose, all device-specific functions of a RegEx driver are
+ * supplied through a set of pointers contained in a generic structure of type
+ * *regexdev_ops*.
+ * The address of the *regexdev_ops* structure is stored in the *rte_regexdev*
+ * structure by the device init function of the RegEx driver, which is
+ * invoked during the PCI/SoC device probing phase, as explained earlier.
+ *
+ * In other words, each function of the RegEx API simply retrieves the
+ * *rte_regexdev* structure associated with the device identifier and
+ * performs an indirect invocation of the corresponding driver function
+ * supplied in the *regexdev_ops* structure of the *rte_regexdev* structure.
+ *
+ * For performance reasons, the address of the fast-path functions of the
+ * RegEx driver is not contained in the *regexdev_ops* structure.
+ * Instead, they are directly stored at the beginning of the *rte_regexdev*
+ * structure to avoid an extra indirect memory access during their invocation.
+ *
+ * RTE RegEx device drivers do not use interrupts for enqueue or dequeue
+ * operation. Instead, RegEx drivers export Poll-Mode enqueue and dequeue
