This series adds per-queue Tx rate limiting to the mlx5 PMD using
the HW packet pacing (PP) rate table.
The ConnectX-6 Dx and later NICs expose a per-SQ
packet_pacing_rate_limit_index that can be changed on a live SQ
via modify_bitmask without queue teardown. The kernel mlx5 driver
refcounts PP contexts internally, so queues configured at the same
rate share a single HW rate table entry.
The series is structured as follows:
1. Doc fix for stale packet pacing documentation
2-3. common/mlx5: query PP capabilities and extend SQ modify
4-6. net/mlx5: per-queue PP infrastructure, rate_limit callback,
burst pacing devargs (tx_burst_bound, tx_typical_pkt_sz)
7. net/mlx5: testpmd command to query per-queue rate state
8. ethdev: add rte_eth_get_queue_rate_limit() symmetric getter
9. net/mlx5: share PP rate table entries across queues
10. net/mlx5: rate table capacity query API
Usage with testpmd:
set port 0 queue 0 rate 1000
set port 0 queue 1 rate 5000
set port 0 queue 0 rate 0 # disable
mlx5 port 0 txq 0 rate show # query
Tested on ConnectX-6 Dx only.
