        RFC 3635 helps also here to define properties of an
        Ethernet-like interface. It's not so as crucial to follow RFC
        terms and definitions here as it's with counters, but we can
        use it as a guide line. Addresses and promisc mode are
        classification issues. Name and pktio status (stopped /
        started) ( == ifAdminStatus) are pktio level data.


        typedef struct odp_pktio_link_state_t {
                uint8_t  type;        // 0: Ethernet (or enum
        ODP_PKTIO_ETHERNET), ...


    type is not state.  I think there might be odp_pktio_info_t which
    is filled by init of each pktio.
    and some call like:
     const odp_pktio_info_t * odp_pktio_info(pktio);

    where
    odp_pktio_info_t {

    char *name;
    uint8_t  type;        // 0: Ethernet (or enum ODP_PKTIO_ETHERNET)

    // what also do we need, i/o address space, number of hw queues,
    nodes and etc.
    }

    But it looks like Bill right pointed that for now we have separate
    call for each function.
    We already have mtu and name for example. So we need to understand
    if we are going
    to modify existence API or add new.

    Also I can understand that:
    1. speed -  might be needed to set up some timeout setting.
    2.  status link up/down and logical pktio started / stopped is
    needed to check why odp_schedule() returns timeouts instead of
    packets.

    But I have no idea why application needs type, autoneg and duplex.

    I think for first try we need to stay just with:
    +typedef struct odp_pktio_link_state_t {
    +       uint32_t speed;         /**< Speed in Mbps: 10, 100, 1000
    etc */
    +       odp_bool_t up;          /**< 1 - link up, 0 - link down */
    +       odp_bool_t stopped;     /**< 1 - pktio stopped, 0 - started */

Again, "stopped" is a poor name. Why not "running"?

Just serious why "stopped" is poor name and "running" is good name? In future we might have several states for pktio, something like paused. More likely it will be better to have just
state which is some state enum.

    +} odp_pktio_link_state_t;

    I want to have up and stopped in one struct to speed that data
    plane calls.

Are these calls performance critical?

    Most likely it will be the following check

    ev = odp_schedule(wait_time);
    if (ev == ODP_EVENT_INVALID) {
       odp_pktio_link_state(pktio, &link_state);
       if (!link_state.up || link_state.stopped) {
                    <send something to control plane,  >
                      <or just wait for link, or pktio started>
                      continue;
        } else {
            <just timeout, packet can be in any moment, ready to get them>
            continue;
      }
    }

    I.e. try to not do 2 calls and roll stack for 2 calls.

The example up doesn't look like it requires (or even benefits from) link state and interface status to be obtained in the absolutely shortest time, they are not called when we are actually processing an event.


    Does that reasonable?

No.

Interface (pktio) and physical link are different concepts which I do not think should be mixed.


Ok, if there is no reason, then I will send patch only with up/down and speed.

              uint8_t  status;      // 1: link up, 0: down, -1
        not_present (== ifOperStatus )
                uint8_t  autoneg;     // 1: autoneg on, 0: off, -1:
        not supported
                uint8_t  duplex;      // 1: full duplex, 0: half duplex
                uint32_t speed_mbps;  // Speed in Mbps. This leaves
        room for
                                           // speed_bps which would
        support odd (Mbps) link speeds
                uint32_t mtu;         // MTU in bytes
        } odp_pktio_link_state_t;


        Better to use int (uint8_t) than bool to enable extendable
        status definitions. E.g. ifOperStatus == not_present means
        that some HW component is missing, rather than user have
        configured link down.

            Define API to get pktio link state: seed, autoneg, link
            up/down,
            duplex, started/stopped state.

              v2: - use simple struct to return pktio link state;
                  - odp will not modify link, only ready it's state;
