d25692e4b7 pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample05_flow_per_thread.sh
This pktgen sample script is useful for scalability testing a
receiver.  The script will simply generate one flow per
thread (option -t N) using the thread number as part of the
source IP-address.

The single flow sample (pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh)
have become quite popular, but it is important that developers
also make sure to benchmark scalability of multiple receive
queues.

15f2cbbde4 pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample04_many_flows.sh
Adding a pktgen sample script that demonstrates how to use pktgen
for simulating flows.  Script will generate a certain number of
concurrent flows ($FLOWS) and each flow will contain $FLOWLEN
packets, which will be send back-to-back, before switching to a
new flow, due to flag FLOW_SEQ.

This script obsoletes the old sample script 'pktgen.conf-1-1-flows',
which is removed.

6fd980ac39 net: samples: pktgen mode samples/tests for qdisc layer
This adds samples for pktgen to use with new mode to inject pkts into
the qdisc layer. This also doubles as nice test cases to test any
patches against qdisc layer.

05a14d5e17 pktgen: add benchmark script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh
This script pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_netif_receive.sh is a benchmark
script, which can be used for benchmarking part of the network stack.
This can be used for performance improving or catching regression in
that area.

The script is developed for benchmarking ingress qdisc path, original
idea by Alexei Starovoitov.  This script don't really need any
hardware.  This is achieved via the recently introduced stack inject
feature "xmit_mode netif_receive". See commit 62f64aed62 ("pktgen:
introduce xmit_mode '<start_xmit|netif_receive>'").

1d73ba16ad pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample03_burst_single_flow.sh
that demonstrates how to acheive maximum performance.

If correctly tuned[1] single CPU 10Gbit/s wirespeed small pkts is
possible[2] which is 14.88Mpps.  The trick is to take advantage of the
"burst" feature introduced in commit 38b2cf2982 ("net: pktgen:
packet bursting via skb->xmit_more").

282fb58947 pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh
Add the pktgen samples script pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh that
demonstrates generating packets on multiqueue NICs.

Specifically notice the options "-t" that specifies how many
kernel threads to activate.  Also notice the flag QUEUE_MAP_CPU,
which cause the SKB TX queue to be mapped to the CPU running the
kernel thread.  For best scalability people are also encourage to
map NIC IRQ /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity to CPU number.

Usage example with "-t" 4 threads and help:
 ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh -i eth4 -m 00:1B:21:3C:9D:F8 -t 4

Usage: ./pktgen_sample02_multiqueue.sh [-vx] -i ethX
  -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
  -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
  -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
  -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr
  -t : ($THREADS)   threads to start
  -c : ($SKB_CLONE) SKB clones send before alloc new SKB
  -b : ($BURST)     HW level bursting of SKBs
  -v : ($VERBOSE)   verbose
  -x : ($DEBUG)     debug

Removing pktgen.conf-2-1 and pktgen.conf-2-2 as these examples
should be covered now.

6f09479758 pktgen: add sample script pktgen_sample01_simple.sh
Add the first basic pktgen samples script pktgen_sample01_simple.sh,
which demonstrates the a simple use of the helper functions.
Removing pktgen.conf-1-1 as that example should be covered now.

The naming scheme pktgen_sampleNN, where NN is a number, should encourage
reading the samples in a specific order.

Script cause pktgen sending with a single thread and single interface,
and introduce flow variation via random UDP source port.

Usage example and help:
 ./pktgen_sample01_simple.sh -i eth4 -m 00:1B:21:3C:9D:F8 -d 192.168.8.2

Usage: ./pktgen_sample01_simple.sh [-vx] -i ethX
  -i : ($DEV)       output interface/device (required)
  -s : ($PKT_SIZE)  packet size
  -d : ($DEST_IP)   destination IP
  -m : ($DST_MAC)   destination MAC-addr

b64b0d1e64 pktgen: new pktgen helper functions for samples scripts
Preparing for removing existing samples/pktgen/ scripts, and
replacing these with easier to use samples.

This commit provides two helper shell files, that can
be "included" by shell source'ing. Namely "functions.sh"
and "parameters.sh".

The parameters.sh file support easy and consistant parameter
parsing across the sample scripts.  Usage example is printed on
errors.

The functions.sh file provides, three new shell functions for
configuring the different components of pktgen: pg_ctrl(),
pg_thread() and pg_set().  A slightly improved version of the old
pgset() function is also provided for backwards compat.

The new functions correspond to pktgens different components.
 * pg_ctrl()   control "pgctrl" (/proc/net/pktgen/pgctrl)
 * pg_thread() control the kernel threads and binding to devices
 * pg_set()    control setup of individual devices

db72aba30a samples/pktgen: Use bash as interpreter
These scripts use the non-POSIX 'function' and 'local' keywords so
they won't work with every /bin/sh.  We could drop 'function' as it is
a no-op, but 'local' makes for cleaner scripts.  Require use of bash.
