PATCH v3 3/6 examples/ip_pipeline: remove example

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

The ip_pipeline example is built on the legacy pipeline library API (rte_pipeline_*) and the associated port and table action APIs, which were announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The pipeline example covers the SWX pipeline API.

PATCH v3 4/6 pipeline: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy pipeline API (rte_pipeline_*) together with the port and table action APIs built on top of it, as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX pipeline API remains.

The sched dependency was only used by the table action API, so drop it.

PATCH v3 5/6 table: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy table library API (rte_table_*) as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX table API remains.

The lpm and port dependencies were only used by the legacy API, so drop them. The hash and acl dependencies are still needed by the SWX exact match and wildcard match tables.

PATCH v3 6/6 port: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy port library API (rte_port_*) as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX port API remains.

The sched, ip_frag, cryptodev and eventdev dependencies were only used by the legacy port types, so drop them. The pcap dependency is kept for the SWX source/sink port.

Re: [PATCH v3 0/6] remove legacy packet framework

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Quoted 6 lines · Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy packet framework examples and libraries. This was announced in 24.11 but never completed.
v3 - also cleanup cocci scripts

Quoted 7 lines

Stephen Hemminger (6):
app/test: remove packet framework tests
app/test-pipeline: remove application
examples/ip_pipeline: remove example
pipeline: remove legacy API
table: remove legacy API
port: remove legacy API

Not sure why, but downloading the mbox from patchwork gives broken patches. Maybe the binary part gets mangled...

At least, downloading from inbox.dpdk.org works.

Re: [PATCH v4 0/7] remove deprecated packet framework

Quoted 5 lines · Stephen Hemminger

The packet framework was marked as deprecated in 24.11.
This patch series completes the removal of the libraries, documentation, and tests.

Quoted 8 lines

Stephen Hemminger (7):
app/test: remove packet framework tests
app/test-pipeline: remove application
examples/ip_pipeline: remove example
pipeline: remove legacy API
table: remove legacy API
port: remove legacy API
doc: remove packet framework images

So it seems we have a bug in patchwork wrt binary content in patches.

Please send the series without the last patch, so that the CI can do a pass.

PATCH v4 1/7 app/test: remove packet framework tests

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

The legacy packet framework libraries (port, table, pipeline) are being removed, so remove the unit tests exercising them.

PATCH v4 2/7 app/test-pipeline: remove application

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

The test-pipeline application is built on the legacy pipeline library API (rte_pipeline_*), which was announced for removal in the 24.11 release. Remove it before removing the library.

PATCH v4 4/7 pipeline: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy pipeline API (rte_pipeline_*) together with the port and table action APIs built on top of it, as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX pipeline API remains.

The sched dependency was only used by the table action API, so drop it.

PATCH v4 5/7 table: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy table library API (rte_table_*) as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX table API remains.

The lpm and port dependencies were only used by the legacy API, so drop them. The hash and acl dependencies are still needed by the SWX exact match and wildcard match tables.

PATCH v4 6/7 port: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy port library API (rte_port_*) as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX port API remains.

The sched, ip_frag, cryptodev and eventdev dependencies were only used by the legacy port types, so drop them. The pcap dependency is kept for the SWX source/sink port.

v5 cover remove legacy packet framework

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

The legacy Packet Framework APIs were announced for removal in the 24.11 release but the removal never happened:

* pipeline: The pipeline library legacy API (functions rte_pipeline_*)
* table: The table library legacy API (functions rte_table_*)
* port: The port library legacy API (functions rte_port_*)

Do the removal now, in the 26.11 ABI window. The SWX API in the same libraries (rte_swx_*) is unaffected and remains the Packet Framework API. The softnic driver and the pipeline example already use only the SWX API.

The applications built on the legacy API (test-pipeline, ip_pipeline) and the unit tests are removed first, then the legacy half of each library, pipeline before table before port to follow the dependency chain. Library dependencies and the programmer's guide are trimmed accordingly.

Follow-up candidates, kept out of this series: the stale comments in lib/ethdev/ethdev_trace.h still refer to examples/ip_pipeline, and struct rte_pipeline_acl_rule in the removed rte_table_acl.c was only a local name.

Note: there are some figures leftover that will need maintainer to manually remove with 'git rm' since patchwork mangled that.

v5 - resend of v4 without patch that broke patchwork

Stephen Hemminger (6):
app/test: remove packet framework tests
app/test-pipeline: remove application
examples/ip_pipeline: remove example
pipeline: remove legacy API
table: remove legacy API
port: remove legacy API

PATCH v5 2/6 app/test-pipeline: remove application

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

The test-pipeline application is built on the legacy pipeline library API (rte_pipeline_*), which was announced for removal in the 24.11 release. Remove it before removing the library.

PATCH v5 4/6 pipeline: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy pipeline API (rte_pipeline_*) together with the port and table action APIs built on top of it, as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX pipeline API remains.

The sched dependency was only used by the table action API, so drop it.

Remove the legacy table library API (rte_table_*) as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX table API remains.

The lpm and port dependencies were only used by the legacy API, so drop them. The hash and acl dependencies are still needed by the SWX exact match and wildcard match tables.

PATCH v5 6/6 port: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy port library API (rte_port_*) as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX port API remains.

The sched, ip_frag, cryptodev and eventdev dependencies were only used by the legacy port types, so drop them. The pcap dependency is kept for the SWX source/sink port.

v6 cover remove deprecated packet framework

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

The legacy Packet Framework APIs were announced for removal in the 24.11 release but the removal never happened:

* pipeline: The pipeline library legacy API (functions rte_pipeline_*)
* table: The table library legacy API (functions rte_table_*)
* port: The port library legacy API (functions rte_port_*)

Note: there are some figures leftover that will need maintainer to manually remove with 'git rm' since patchwork mangled that.

v6 - rebase and cleanup some leftovers

Re: [PATCH v6 0/6] remove deprecated packet framework

The legacy Packet Framework APIs were announced for removal in the 24.11 release but the removal never happened:

* pipeline: The pipeline library legacy API (functions rte_pipeline_*)
* table: The table library legacy API (functions rte_table_*)
* port: The port library legacy API (functions rte_port_*)

Note: there are some figures leftover that will need maintainer to manually remove with 'git rm' since patchwork mangled that.

v6 - rebase and cleanup some leftovers

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

The legacy packet framework libraries (port, table, pipeline) are being removed, so remove the unit tests exercising them.

PATCH v6 2/6 app/test-pipeline: remove application

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

The test-pipeline application is built on the legacy pipeline library API (rte_pipeline_*), which was announced for removal in the 24.11 release. Remove it before removing the library.

PATCH v6 4/6 pipeline: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy pipeline API (rte_pipeline_*) together with the port and table action APIs built on top of it, as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX pipeline API remains.

The sched dependency was only used by the table action API, so drop it.

PATCH v6 5/6 table: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy table library API (rte_table_*) as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX table API remains.

The lpm and port dependencies were only used by the legacy API, so drop them. The hash and acl dependencies are still needed by the SWX exact match and wildcard match tables.

PATCH v6 6/6 port: remove legacy API

In reply to Stephen Hemminger

Remove the legacy port library API (rte_port_*) as announced for removal in the 24.11 release. The SWX port API remains.

The sched, ip_frag, cryptodev and eventdev dependencies were only used by the legacy port types, so drop them. The pcap dependency is kept for the SWX source/sink port.

The CI build infrastructure reports a failure when building docs but this report is bogus. The docs build, the way it is doing it is all wrong. It is applying single patch without others before it; then complaining.

Wordier AI analysis:

Subject: Intel PER_PATCH_BUILD applies patches in isolation, produces false compilation failures

Report: pw167045, sid 38829, job PER_PATCH_BUILD19605, series "packet framework removal" v6 6/6 ("port: remove legacy API"), baseline dpdk-next-net 9231dc7c.

Reported failure: doc build on UB2604-64 (x86_64-native-linuxapp-doc). Doxygen aborts with doc/api/doxy-api-index.md:185: error: unable to resolve reference to 'rte_port.h'.

The series is correct. Patch 6/6 removes that reference in the same commit that deletes lib/port/rte_port.h, so every commit in the series is self-consistent and the tree bisects clean.

Root cause is in the CI, two defects:

The job applied 6/6 alone on top of the baseline rather than
applying 1/6 through 6/6 in order. The resulting tree exists nowhere in history. Patch 6/6's index hunk has trailing context * SWX pipeline:
immediately after the port list, which only holds once 4/6 and 5/6 have removed the pipeline and table entries, so the hunk cannot apply to the bare baseline. The apply was reject-tolerant and the job continued. The lib/port/* deletions landed while doxy-api-index.md stayed untouched, and the build proceeded on that mixed tree.

Proof: line 185 in the log is * [port](@ref rte_port.h):, which is line 185 of the unmodified file at baseline blob 9296042 (byte-identical to main). Had 1/6 through 6/6 been applied in order, 4/6's hunk alone would have shifted that line. Doxygen aborts on the first unresolved reference, which is why rte_table.h and rte_pipeline.h are not also listed. Reproduced locally:

$ git apply --check <6/6 doxy hunk>    # on baseline
error: patch failed: doc/api/doxy-api-index.md:182
$ patch -p1 --dry-run < <same>
Hunk #1 FAILED at 182.

Requested fixes:

Apply the full series with git am onto the baseline, then build
each commit, e.g. git rebase --exec '<build>' <base>. That tests bisectability, which testing patches in isolation does not. Treat any rejected hunk as a job abort, reported as an apply error, not as a compilation FAILURE attributed to the submitter.

Note for anyone hitting this: a bare Recheck-request: retests the patch as-is without re-applying, so it reproduces the same bad tree. rebase={branch} is needed.
