  Multiple PMDs have dummy/noop Rx/Tx packet burst functions.

These dummy functions are very simple, introduce a common function in
the ethdev and update drivers to use it instead of each driver having
its own functions.

The mlx4 and mlx5 PMDs lose a call to rte_mb() when switching over to the new dummy functions. Maybe the maintainer can comment on whether that's an issue or not? Other than that LGTM.

After briefly considering if the dummy TX should free the burst, I concluded that the current behavior is correct.

Good clean-up. :-)

Could you share your thoughts, please. I'm wondering as well.

Returning 0 means that the packets were not transmitted.

This leaves it up to the application to decide what to do: drop or retransmit.

If the dummy TX function frees the burst, it would effectively mean that the driver dropped the packets. (In that case, some drop counters should probably also be updated in the driver; but that is irrelevant now.)

Not dropping the packets could be significant during startup.

Makes sense, thank you.

Thinking twice I am not sure if above change works.

Since function is in the header file, and the .c file that assign
the 'dev->rx_pkt_burst' and the .c file that check function pointer
are different, these two different instance of same function may
have different addresses and above check may fail when it should match.

I guess solution is move the function to a .c file and export it
internally.
I was thinking to add ethdev_driver.c file, perhaps this can be
a motivation to start that file.
Thomas, Andrew, what do you think about ethdev_driver.c file?

Hi,

For mlx4/mlx5 tx_burst we build hardware descriptors, push ones into hardware and write
doorbell register. The doorbell register can be mapped by mlx4/mlx5 into user space either
with non-cache or with write-combining (just regular attribute) memory attributes.
The write-combining mapping requires the explicit memory barrier to push the written
data to the destination hardware, it takes noticeable time and PMDs try to optimize out.

mlx4 just does not perform wmb after the doorbelling, it is always supposed it will happen
on the next call. 

For mlx5 we have the very special Tx doorbelling mode (explicitly controlled via "tx_db_nc" devarg)
to skip the last wmb in tx_burst routine. The user requesting this should understand all risks
and take countermeasures in application if he/she cares about packet drops on queue/device stop.

In the worst case, if wmb is postponed (even never happens anymore) it just causes 
the increased send latency for the packets in the last burst. If queue stop happens during
the "non-promoted doorbell time period" the last burst packets might be dropped (and we suppose
this is not crucial for service being terminated)

To summarize:
- mlx4 is in moderate risk of final send burst packet drop (we've never seen this in practice, just did not check though)
- mlx5 is in minor risk of final send burst packet drop (in very special mode only, and we observed latency issues in practice), can be disregarded
- barrier in dummy routine does not fully resolve this mlx specific issue (not invoked in guaranteed way on right core)

My conclusion - I would prefer to keep barrier in dummy, "just for the case", but have no strong objections about removing,
we can accept the patch being discussed.

Right putting it the header file ends up with multiple copies of same
code compiled into each driver.

I'm OK with introducing such .c file.
