[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net: adjust the header length parse size

[Haiyue Wang]

Align to the rte_mbuf's design about Tx header length data size for the
header length parse result.
	struct {
		uint64_t   l2_len:7;             /*    88: 0  8 */
		uint64_t   l3_len:9;             /*    88: 7  8 */
		uint64_t   l4_len:8;             /*    88:16  8 */
		uint64_t   tso_segsz:16;         /*    88:24  8 */
		uint64_t   outer_l3_len:9;       /*    88:40  8 */
		uint64_t   outer_l2_len:7;       /*    88:49  8 */
	};

Now the IPv6 can support bigger extension header.

The below is the structure hole analysis result:

Before:
struct rte_net_hdr_lens {
        uint8_t                    l2_len;               /*     0     1 */
        uint8_t                    l3_len;               /*     1     1 */
        uint8_t                    l4_len;               /*     2     1 */
        uint8_t                    tunnel_len;           /*     3     1 */
        uint8_t                    inner_l2_len;         /*     4     1 */
        uint8_t                    inner_l3_len;         /*     5     1 */
        uint8_t                    inner_l4_len;         /*     6     1 */

        /* size: 7, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
        /* last cacheline: 7 bytes */
};

Now:
struct rte_net_hdr_lens {
        uint64_t                   l2_len:7;             /*     0: 0  8 */
        uint64_t                   l3_len:9;             /*     0: 7  8 */
        uint64_t                   l4_len:8;             /*     0:16  8 */
        uint64_t                   tunnel_len:8;         /*     0:24  8 */
        uint64_t                   inner_l2_len:7;       /*     0:32  8 */
        uint64_t                   inner_l3_len:9;       /*     0:39  8 */
        uint64_t                   inner_l4_len:8;       /*     0:48  8 */

        /* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */
        /* bit_padding: 8 bits */
        /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
