requires patch: http://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/51511/
Memif uses a unix domain socket as control channel (cc).
rte_interrupts.h is used to handle interrupts for this cc.
This patch is required, because the message received can
be a reason for disconnecting.

v3:
- coding style fixes
- documentation
- doxygen comments
- use strlcpy() instead of strncpy()
- use RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON instead of _Static_assert()
- fix meson build deps

v4:
- coding style fixes
- doc update (desc format, messaging, features, ...)
- pointer arithmetic fix
- __rte_packed and __rte_aligned instead of __attribute__()
- fixed multi-queue
- support additional archs (memfd_create syscall)

v5:
- coding style fixes
- add release notes
- remove unused dependencies
- doc update

v6:
- remove socket on termination of testpmd application
- disallow memif probing in secondary process (return error), multi-process support will be implemented in separate patch
- fix chained buffer packet length
- use single region for rings and buffers (non-zero-copy)
- doc update

v7:
- coding style fixes

v8:
- release notes: 19.05 -> 19.08

v9:
- rearrange elements in structures to remove holes
- default socket file in /run
- #define name sizes
- implement dev_close op

v10:
- fix shared lib build
- clear memory allocated by PMD in .dev_close
- fix NULL pointer string 'error: ‘%s’ directive argument is null'

Minor nit, this should be a V1 instead of V10 after your RFC.

It'd be better to have more descrition of this new PMD in the commit log, something 
like you have in memif.rst

Thanks,
Xiaolong

I'll keep that in mind, but what version number should I use in the next patch, since I did use V10 in this one?

Thanks,
Jakub

> +In this example we run two instances of testpmd application and transmit packets over memif.
> +
> +First create ``master`` interface::
> +
> +    #./build/app/testpmd -l 0-1 --proc-type=primary --file-prefix=pmd1 --vdev=net_memif,role=master -- -i
> +
> +Now create ``slave`` interface (master must be already running so the slave will connect)::
> +
> +    #./build/app/testpmd -l 2-3 --proc-type=primary --file-prefix=pmd2 --vdev=net_memif -- -i
> +
> +Start forwarding packets::
> +
> +    Slave:
> +        testpmd> start
> +
> +    Master:
> +        testpmd> start tx_first
> +
> +Show status::
> +
> +    testpmd> show port stats 0
> +
> +For more details on testpmd please refer to :doc:`../testpmd_app_ug/index`.
> +
> +Example: testpmd and VPP
> +------------------------
> +For information on how to get and run VPP please see `<https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP>`_.
> +
> +Start VPP in interactive mode (should be by default). Create memif master interface in VPP::
> +
> +    vpp# create interface memif id 0 master no-zero-copy
> +    vpp# set interface state memif0/0 up
> +    vpp# set interface ip address memif0/0 192.168.1.1/24
> +
> +To see socket filename use show memif command::
> +
> +    vpp# show memif
> +    sockets
> +     id  listener    filename
> +      0   yes (1)     /run/vpp/memif.sock
> +    ...
> +
> +Now create memif interface by running testpmd with these command line options::
> +
> +    #./testpmd --vdev=net_memif,socket=/run/vpp/memif.sock -- -i
> +
> +Testpmd should now create memif slave interface and try to connect to master.
> +In testpmd set forward option to icmpecho and start forwarding::
> +
> +    testpmd> set fwd icmpecho
> +    testpmd> start

I see that GCC from Xenial:

  gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.11) 5.4.0 20160609

Complains as follows:

../drivers/net/memif/memif_socket.c: In function ‘memif_msg_receive’:
../drivers/net/memif/memif_socket.c:665:33: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]
     afd = *(int *)CMSG_DATA(cmsg);
                                 ^

I am not sure what's DPDK convention for this case, Maybe Ferruh can suggest
on this.

Almost there, can you please check below comments? I am hoping to merge next
version of the patch.

This is a long line, and breaking it won't reduce the readability, can you
please break it. Checkpatch warning:

Although they point same function, better to use 'dev_ops->tx_queue_release' for
Tx queues.

"process_private" is not used in this PMD at all, no need to free it I think.

There are two exit path from a PMD:
1) rte_eth_dev_close() API
2) rte_vdev_driver->remove() called by hotplug remove APIs ('rte_dev_remove()'
or 'rte_eal_hotplug_remove()')

Both should clear all PMD allocated resources. Since you are calling
'rte_eth_dev_close() from this .remove() function, it makes sense to move all
resource cleanup to .dev_close (like queue cleanup calls above).

Normally Xiaolong is right, after RFC the actual patches numbering resets, but
for this case I think it is OK as long as people can follow the order, I am OK
to continue as v11 for next version, up to you.

Hi Jakup,

Above comments seems not implemented in v11, can you please check them?
If anything is not clear feel free to reach me on the irc.

Sorry, I missed that mail. I'll get it fixed right away, but I don't understand what's wrong with 'static const char *valid_arguments[]...' other PMDs handle args the same way, can you please give me a hint?

It is not wrong, but good to have that second 'const', it prevents you update
the valid_arguments[] by mistake, like following will work without that 'const':

 char p = "test";
 valid_arguments[0] = p;

Since we don't support dynamically changing device arguments in runtime, good to
have the protection, it won't hurt.

+======================
+Memif Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+
+Shared memory packet interface (memif) PMD allows for DPDK and any other client
+using memif (DPDK, VPP, libmemif) to communicate using shared memory. Memif is
+Linux only.
+
+The created device transmits packets in a raw format. It can be used with
+Ethernet mode, IP mode, or Punt/Inject. At this moment, only Ethernet mode is
+supported in DPDK memif implementation.
+
+Memif works in two roles: master and slave. Slave connects to master over an
+existing socket. It is also a producer of shared memory file and initializes
+the shared memory. Each interface can be connected to one peer interface
+at same time. The peer interface is identified by id parameter. Master
+creates the socket and listens for any slave connection requests. The socket
+may already exist on the system. Be sure to remove any such sockets, if you
+are creating a master interface, or you will see an "Address already in use"
+error. Function ``rte_pmd_memif_remove()``, which removes memif interface,
+will also remove a listener socket, if it is not being used by any other
+interface.
+
+The method to enable one or more interfaces is to use the
+``--vdev=net_memif0`` option on the DPDK application command line. Each
+``--vdev=net_memif1`` option given will create an interface named net_memif0,
+net_memif1, and so on. Memif uses unix domain socket to transmit control
+messages. Each memif has a unique id per socket. This id is used to identify
+peer interface. If you are connecting multiple
+interfaces using same socket, be sure to specify unique ids ``id=0``, ``id=1``,
+etc. Note that if you assign a socket to a master interface it becomes a
+listener socket. Listener socket can not be used by a slave interface on same
+client.

+
+**Connection establishment**
+
+In order to create memif connection, two memif interfaces, each in separate
+process, are needed. One interface in ``master`` role and other in
+``slave`` role. It is not possible to connect two interfaces in a single
+process. Each interface can be connected to one interface at same time,
+identified by matching id parameter.
+
+Memif driver uses unix domain socket to exchange required information between
+memif interfaces. Socket file path is specified at interface creation see
+*Memif configuration options* table above. If socket is used by ``master``
+interface, it's marked as listener socket (in scope of current process) and
+listens to connection requests from other processes. One socket can be used by
+multiple interfaces. One process can have ``slave`` and ``master`` interfaces
+at the same time, provided each role is assigned unique socket.
+
+For detailed information on memif control messages, see: net/memif/memif.h.
+
+Slave interface attempts to make a connection on assigned socket. Process
+listening on this socket will extract the connection request and create a new
+connected socket (control channel). Then it sends the 'hello' message
+(``MEMIF_MSG_TYPE_HELLO``), containing configuration boundaries. Slave interface
+adjusts its configuration accordingly, and sends 'init' message
+(``MEMIF_MSG_TYPE_INIT``). This message among others contains interface id. Driver
+uses this id to find master interface, and assigns the control channel to this
+interface. If such interface is found, 'ack' message (``MEMIF_MSG_TYPE_ACK``) is
+sent. Slave interface sends 'add region' message (``MEMIF_MSG_TYPE_ADD_REGION``) for
+every region allocated. Master responds to each of these messages with 'ack'
+message. Same behavior applies to rings. Slave sends 'add ring' message
+(``MEMIF_MSG_TYPE_ADD_RING``) for every initialized ring. Master again responds to
+each message with 'ack' message. To finalize the connection, slave interface
+sends 'connect' message (``MEMIF_MSG_TYPE_CONNECT``). Upon receiving this message
+master maps regions to its address space, initializes rings and responds with
+'connected' message (``MEMIF_MSG_TYPE_CONNECTED``). Disconnect
+(``MEMIF_MSG_TYPE_DISCONNECT``) can be sent by both master and slave interfaces at
+any time, due to driver error or if the interface is being deleted.

+Shared memory
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+**Shared memory format**
+
+Slave is producer and master is consumer. Memory regions, are mapped shared memory files,
+created by memif slave and provided to master at connection establishment.
+Regions contain rings and buffers. Rings and buffers can also be separated into multiple
+regions. For no-zero-copy, rings and buffers are stored inside single memory
+region to reduce the number of opened files.
+
+region n (no-zero-copy):
+
++-----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+| Rings                 | Buffers                                                                 |
++-----------+-----------+-----------------+---+---------------------------------------------------+
+| S2M rings | M2S rings | packet buffer 0 | . | pb ((1 << pmd->run.log2_ring_size)*(s2m + m2s))-1 |
++-----------+-----------+-----------------+---+---------------------------------------------------+
+
+S2M OR M2S Rings:
+
++--------+--------+-----------------------+
+| ring 0 | ring 1 | ring num_s2m_rings - 1|
++--------+--------+-----------------------+
+
+ring 0:
+
++-------------+---------------------------------------+
+| ring header | (1 << pmd->run.log2_ring_size) * desc |
++-------------+---------------------------------------+
+
+Descriptors are assigned packet buffers in order of rings creation. If we have one ring
+in each direction and ring size is 1024, then first 1024 buffers will belong to S2M ring and
+last 1024 will belong to M2S ring. In case of zero-copy, buffers are dequeued and
+enqueued as needed.

+
+Example: testpmd
+----------------------------
+In this example we run two instances of testpmd application and transmit packets over memif.
+
+First create ``master`` interface::
+
+    #./build/app/testpmd -l 0-1 --proc-type=primary --file-prefix=pmd1 --vdev=net_memif,role=master -- -i
+
+Now create ``slave`` interface (master must be already running so the slave will connect)::
+
+    #./build/app/testpmd -l 2-3 --proc-type=primary --file-prefix=pmd2 --vdev=net_memif -- -i
+
+Start forwarding packets::
+
+    Slave:
+        testpmd> start
+
+    Master:
+        testpmd> start tx_first
+
+Show status::
+
+    testpmd> show port stats 0
+
+For more details on testpmd please refer to :doc:`../testpmd_app_ug/index`.
+
+Example: testpmd and VPP
+------------------------
+For information on how to get and run VPP please see `<https://wiki.fd.io/view/VPP>`_.
+
+Start VPP in interactive mode (should be by default). Create memif master interface in VPP::
+
+    vpp# create interface memif id 0 master no-zero-copy
+    vpp# set interface state memif0/0 up
+    vpp# set interface ip address memif0/0 192.168.1.1/24
+
+To see socket filename use show memif command::
+
+    vpp# show memif
+    sockets
+     id  listener    filename
+      0   yes (1)     /run/vpp/memif.sock
+    ...
+
+Now create memif interface by running testpmd with these command line options::
+
+    #./testpmd --vdev=net_memif,socket=/run/vpp/memif.sock -- -i
+
+Testpmd should now create memif slave interface and try to connect to master.
+In testpmd set forward option to icmpecho and start forwarding::
+
+    testpmd> set fwd icmpecho
+    testpmd> start
+
+Send ping from VPP::
+
+    vpp# ping 192.168.1.2
+    64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=36.2918 ms
+    64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=254 time=23.3927 ms
+    64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=4 ttl=254 time=24.2975 ms
+    64 bytes from 192.168.1.2: icmp_seq=5 ttl=254 time=17.7049 ms
