2018-03-27bond: coverity woesSteven1-1/+1
coverity complains about statements in function A function A { x % vec_len (y) } because vec_len (y) is a macro and may return 0 if the pointer y is null. But coverity fails to realize the same statement vec_len (y) was already invoked and checked in the caller of function A and punt if vec_len (y) is 0. We can fix the coverity warning and shave off a few cpu cycles by caching the result of vec_len (y) and pass it around to avoid calling vec_len (y) again in multiple places.

2018-03-22bond: performance enhancementSteven1-0/+9
We were only puting one packet per frame to the output node. Change to buffer multiple packets per frame. Performance is now on top of dpdk-based bonding. Put a spinlock in the tx thread in case the rug is pulled under us. Change-Id: Ifda5af086a984a7301972cd6c8e428217f676a95 Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>
2018-03-21bond: Add bonding driver and LACP protocolSteven1-0/+451
Add bonding driver to support creation of bond interface which composes of multiple slave interfaces. The slave interfaces could be physical interfaces, or just any virtual interfaces. For example, memif interfaces. The syntax to create a bond interface is create bond mode <lacp | xor | acitve-backup | broadcast | round-robin> To enslave an interface to the bond interface, enslave interface TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0 to BondEthernet0 Please see src/plugins/lacp/lacp_doc.md for more examples and additional options. LACP is a control plane protocol which manages and monitors the status of the slave interfaces. The protocol is part of 802.3ad standard. This patch implements LACPv1. LACPv2 is not supported. To enable LACP on the bond interface, specify "mode lacp" when the bond interface is created. The syntax to enslave a slave interface is the same as other bonding modes.
