VPP-279: Document changes for vnet/vnet/devices
Add doxygen documentation for dpdk CLI commands.
Outside of adding documentation to the CLI Commands, modified the CLI
code as follows:
* The "set dpdk interface placement" command allows the user to move
interface/queues to a different thread. But there is only a subset of
threads that are valid. Updated the "show dpdk interface placement"
command to display all valid threads, even if all interface/queues
have been moved off. Updated the "show dpdk interface hqos placement"
the same way.
* There is a command to modify the Subport attributes, but no way to
display the changes. Added a "Subport" section to the "show dpdk
interface hqos" command.
* Reworked the "set dpdk interface hqos subport" command.
- The current implementation had a local rte_sched_subport_params
structure and initialized it to default values, then overwrote with
what was input. The side effect of this is that if all the current
data is non-default, and a new command is entered with just one
attribute, all the remaining attrbutes are getting set back to
default under the cover. Very confusing for the user. Updated the
code to read the current value and overwrite what has changed.
- DPDK does not have a read subport data, so no way query the current
applied values. The set command was not updating the local copy that
is created at init. Modified the code to store the updated values if
the DPDK apply function was successful.
- Several functions repeated the same code to get a pointer to the
local HQoS data. Added a utility function.get_hqos(..), to perform
this action. Did not port other code to use new function.
* The "set dpdk interface hqos pktfield" allows the user to set the
packet fields required for classifiying the incoming packet. The
classification is across three fields (subport, pipe, tc). The command
was using 0,1,2 to represent these three fields, but had no
explanation regarding these magic numbers. Updated the command to take
the three tokens (subport, pipe, tc) for more clarity. For legacy
sake, still allow 0,1,2 to be entered. Also updated the "show dpdk
interface hqos" command to show these tokens.
* The "set dpdk interface hqos tctbl" maps an interface and value 0-63
to a traffic class and queue. The "show dpdk interface hqos" command
showed the internal DPDK magic number for traffic class and queue.
Updated the show command to display what was input instead of the
magic number.
* The "show dpdk hqos queue" command always returns zeros by default
because RTE_SCHED_COLLECT_STATS is not defined in DPDK. Took me a
while to figure out why I wasn't getting values returned. So returned
an error message if RTE_SCHED_COLLECT_STATS is not defined instead of
zeros.
