rte eth rss conf Struct Reference
Data Fields
uint8_t rss_key
uint16_t rss_hf
2.22.1
Detailed Description
A structure used to configure the Receive Side Scaling (RSS) feature of an Ethernet port. If not NULL, the
rss_key pointer of the rss_conf structure points to an array of 40 bytes holding the RSS key to use for
hashing specific header fields of received packets. Otherwise, a default random hash key is used by the
device driver.
The rss_hf field of the rss_conf structure indicates the different types of IPv4/IPv6 packets to which the
RSS hashing must be applied. Supplying an rss_hf equal to zero disables the RSS feature.

The producer and the consumer have a head and a tail index. The particularity of these index is that they
are not between 0 and size(ring). These indexes are between 0 and 2 32, and we mask their value when
we access the ring[] field. Thanks to this assumption, we can do subtractions between 2 index values in a
modulo-32bit base: thats why the overflow of the indexes is not a problem.

3.1.3.1
int rte eal alarm set ( uint64 t us, rte_eal_alarm_callback cb, void cb arg )
Function to set a callback to be triggered when us microseconds have expired. Accuracy of timing to the
microsecond is not guaranteed. The alarm function will not be called before the requested time, but may
be called a short period of time afterwards. The alarm handler will be called only once. There is no need to
call "rte_eal_alarm_cancel" from within the callback function.
Parameters
us The time in microseconds before the callback is called
cb The function to be called when the alarm expires
cb_arg Pointer parameter to be passed to the callback function
Returns
On success, zero. On failure, a negative error number
3.1.3.2
int rte eal alarm cancel ( rte_eal_alarm_callback cb fn, void cb arg )
Function to cancel an alarm callback which has been registered before.
Parameters
cb_fn alarm callback
cb_arg Pointer parameter to be passed to the callback function. To remove all copies of a given
callback function, irrespective of parameter, (void )-1 can be used here.
Returns
The number of callbacks removed

3.5.3
Function Documentation
3.5.3.1
static uintptr t rte align floor int ( uintptr t ptr, uintptr t align ) [static]
Function which rounds an unsigned int down to a given power-of-two value. Takes uintptr_t types as
parameters, as this type of operation is most commonly done for pointer alignment. (See also RTE_ALIGN_FLOOR, RTE_ALIGN_CEIL, RTE_ALIGN, RTE_PTR_ALIGN_FLOOR, RTE_PTR_ALIGN_CEL, RTE_PTR_ALIGN macros)
Parameters
ptr The value to be rounded down
align The power-of-two of which the result must be a multiple.
Returns
Function returns a properly aligned value where align is a power-of-two. If align is not a power-of-two,
result will be incorrect.
3.5.3.2
static int rte is aligned ( void ptr, unsigned align ) [static]
Checks if a pointer is aligned to a given power-of-two value
Parameters
ptr The pointer whose alignment is to be checked
align The power-of-two value to which the ptr should be aligned
Returns
True(1) where the pointer is correctly aligned, false(0) otherwise
3.5.3.3
static int rte is power of 2 ( uint32 t n ) [static]
Returns true if n is a power of 2
Parameters
n Number to check
Returns
1 if true, 0 otherwise

3.5.3.4
static uint32 t rte align32pow2 ( uint32 t x ) [static]
Aligns input parameter to the next power of 2
Parameters
x The integer value to algin
Returns
Input parameter aligned to the next power of 2
3.5.3.5
static void rte pause ( void ) [static]
PAUSE instruction for tight loops (avoid busy waiting)
3.5.3.6
static uint64 t rte str to size ( const char str ) [static]
Converts a numeric string to the equivalent uint64_t value. As well as straight number conversion, also
recognises the suffixes k, m and g for kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes respectively.
If a negative number is passed in i.e. a string with the first non-black character being "-", zero is returned.
Zero is also returned in the case of an error with the strtoull call in the function.
Parameters
str String containing number to convert.
Returns
Number.
3.5.3.7
void rte exit ( int exit code, const char format, ... )
Function to terminate the application immediately, printing an error message and returning the exit_code
back to the shell.
This function never returns
Parameters
exit_code The exit code to be returned by the application
format The format string to be used for printing the message. This can include printf format
characters which will be expanded using any further parameters to the function.

int rte eal init ( int argc, char argv )
Initialize the Environment Abstraction Layer (EAL).
This function is to be executed on the MASTER lcore only, as soon as possible in the applications main()
function.
The function finishes the initialization process that was started during boot (in case of baremetal) or before
main() is called (in case of linuxapp). It puts the SLAVE lcores in the WAIT state.
When the multi-partition feature is supported, depending on the configuration (if CONFIG_RTE_EAL_MAIN_PARTITION is disabled), this function waits to ensure that the magic number is set before returning. See
also the rte_eal_get_configuration() function. Note: This behavior may change in the future.

Detailed Description
RTE Ethernet Device API
The Ethernet Device API is composed of two parts:
The application-oriented Ethernet API that includes functions to setup an Ethernet device (configure
it, setup its RX and TX queues and start it), to get its MAC address, the speed and the status of its
physical link, to receive and to transmit packets, and so on.
Intel Data Plane Development Kit (Intel DPDK)
API Reference

November 2012
Reference Number: 326004-001
rte_ethdev.h File Reference - Intel DPDK
The driver-oriented Ethernet API that exports a function allowing an Ethernet Poll Mode Driver (PMD)
to simultaneously register itself as an Ethernet device driver and as a PCI driver for a set of matching
PCI [Ethernet] devices classes.
By default, all the functions of the Ethernet Device API exported by a PMD are lock-free functions which
assume to not be invoked in parallel on different logical cores to work on the same target object. For
instance, the receive function of a PMD cannot be invoked in parallel on two logical cores to poll the same
RX queue [of the same port]. Of course, this function can be invoked in parallel by different logical cores on
different RX queues. It is the responsibility of the upper level application to enforce this rule.
If needed, parallel accesses by multiple logical cores to shared queues shall be explicitly protected by
dedicated inline lock-aware functions built on top of their corresponding lock-free functions of the PMD API.
In all functions of the Ethernet API, the Ethernet device is designated by an integer >= 0 named the device
port identifier.
At the Ethernet driver level, Ethernet devices are represented by a generic data structure of type rte_eth_dev.
Ethernet devices are dynamically registered during the PCI probing phase performed at EAL initialization
time. When an Ethernet device is being probed, an rte_eth_dev structure and a new port identifier are
allocated for that device. Then, the eth_dev_init() function supplied by the Ethernet driver matching the
probed PCI device is invoked to properly initialize the device.
The role of the device init function consists of resetting the hardware, checking access to Non-volatile Memory (NVM), reading the MAC address from NVM etc.
If the device init operation is successful, the correspondence between the port identifier assigned to the new
device and its associated rte_eth_dev structure is effectively registered. Otherwise, both the rte_eth_dev structure and the port identifier are freed.
The functions exported by the application Ethernet API to setup a device designated by its port identifier
must be invoked in the following order:
rte_eth_dev_configure()
rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()
rte_eth_dev_start()
Then, the network application can invoke, in any order, the functions exported by the Ethernet API to get the
MAC address of a given device, to get the speed and the status of a device physical link, to receive/transmit
[burst of] packets, and so on.
If the application wants to change the configuration (i.e. call rte_eth_dev_configure(), rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(), or rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()), it must call rte_eth_dev_stop() first to stop the device and then do
the reconfiguration before calling rte_eth_dev_start() again. The tramsit and receive functions should not be
invoked when the device is stopped.
Please note that some configuration is not stored between calls to rte_eth_dev_stop()/rte_eth_dev_start().
The following configuration will be retained:
flow control settings

API Reference

Intel DPDK - rte_ethdev.h File Reference
receive mode configuration (promiscuous mode, hardware checksum mode, RSS/VMDQ settings etc.)
VLAN filtering configuration
MAC addresses supplied to MAC address array
flow director filtering mode (but not filtering rules)
Any other configuration will not be stored and will need to be re-entered after a call to rte_eth_dev_start().
Finally, a network application can close an Ethernet device by invoking the rte_eth_dev_close() function.
Each function of the application Ethernet API invokes a specific function of the PMD that controls the target
device designated by its port identifier. For this purpose, all device-specific functions of an Ethernet driver
are supplied through a set of pointers contained in a generic structure of type eth_dev_ops. The address
of the eth_dev_ops structure is stored in the rte_eth_dev structure by the device init function of the
Ethernet driver, which is invoked during the PCI probing phase, as explained earlier.
In other words, each function of the Ethernet API simply retrieves the rte_eth_dev structure associated
with the device port identifier and performs an indirect invocation of the corresponding driver function
supplied in the eth_dev_ops structure of the rte_eth_dev structure.
For performance reasons, the address of the burst-oriented RX and TX functions of the Ethernet driver
are not contained in the eth_dev_ops structure. Instead, they are directly stored at the beginning of the
rte_eth_dev structure to avoid an extra indirect memory access during their invocation.
RTE ethernet device drivers do not use interrupts for transmitting or receiving. Instead, Ethernet drivers
export Poll-Mode receive and transmit functions to applications. Both receive and transmit functions are
packet-burst oriented to minimize their cost per packet through the following optimizations:
Sharing among multiple packets the incompressible cost of the invocation of receive/transmit functions.
Enabling receive/transmit functions to take advantage of burst-oriented hardware features (L1 cache,
prefetch instructions, NIC head/tail registers) to minimize the number of CPU cycles per packet, for
instance, by avoiding useless read memory accesses to ring descriptors, or by systematically using
arrays of pointers that exactly fit L1 cache line boundaries and sizes.
The burst-oriented receive function does not provide any error notification, to avoid the corresponding
overhead. As a hint, the upper-level application might check the status of the device link once being
systematically returned a 0 value by the receive function of the driver for a given number of tries.

Retrieve a burst of input packets from a receive queue of an Ethernet device. The retrieved packets are
stored in rte_mbuf structures whose pointers are supplied in the rx_pkts array.
The rte_eth_rx_burst() function loops, parsing the RX ring of the receive queue, up to nb_pkts packets,
and for each completed RX descriptor in the ring, it performs the following operations:
Initialize the rte_mbuf data structure associated with the RX descriptor according to the information
provided by the NIC into that RX descriptor.
Intel Data Plane Development Kit (Intel DPDK)
API Reference
128
November 2012
Reference Number: 326004-001
rte_ethdev.h File Reference - Intel DPDK
Store the rte_mbuf data structure into the next entry of the rx_pkts array.
Replenish the RX descriptor with a new rte_mbuf buffer allocated from the memory pool associated
with the receive queue at initialization time.
When retrieving an input packet that was scattered by the controller into multiple receive descriptors, the
rte_eth_rx_burst() function appends the associated rte_mbuf buffers to the first buffer of the packet.
The rte_eth_rx_burst() function returns the number of packets actually retrieved, which is the number of
rte_mbuf data structures effectively supplied into the rx_pkts array. A return value equal to nb_pkts indicates that the RX queue contained at least rx_pkts packets, and this is likely to signify that
other received packets remain in the input queue. Applications implementing a "retrieve as much received
packets as possible" policy can check this specific case and keep invoking the rte_eth_rx_burst() function
until a value less than nb_pkts is returned.
This receive method has the following advantages:
It allows a run-to-completion network stack engine to retrieve and to immediately process received
packets in a fast burst-oriented approach, avoiding the overhead of unnecessary intermediate packet
queue/dequeue operations.
Conversely, it also allows an asynchronous-oriented processing method to retrieve bursts of received
packets and to immediately queue them for further parallel processing by another logical core, for
instance. However, instead of having received packets being individually queued by the driver, this
approach allows the invoker of the rte_eth_rx_burst() function to queue a burst of retrieved packets at
a time and therefore dramatically reduce the cost of enqueue/dequeue operations per packet.
It allows the rte_eth_rx_burst() function of the driver to take advantage of burst-oriented hardware
features (CPU cache, prefetch instructions, and so on) to minimize the number of CPU cycles per
packet.
To summarize, the proposed receive API enables many burst-oriented optimizations in both synchronous
and asynchronous packet processing environments with no overhead in both cases.
The rte_eth_rx_burst() function does not provide any error notification to avoid the corresponding overhead.
As a hint, the upper-level application might check the status of the device link once being systematically
returned a 0 value for a given number of tries.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_id The index of the receive queue from which to retrieve input packets. The value must be
in the range [0, nb_rx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
rx_pkts The address of an array of pointers to rte_mbuf structures that must be large enough
to store nb_pkts pointers in it.
nb_pkts The maximum number of packets to retrieve.

static uint16 t rte eth tx burst ( uint8 t port id, uint16 t queue id, struct rte_mbuf tx pkts, uint16 t
nb pkts ) [static]
3.11.5.27
Send a burst of output packets on a transmit queue of an Ethernet device.
The rte_eth_tx_burst() function is invoked to transmit output packets on the output queue queue_id of the
Ethernet device designated by its port_id. The nb_pkts parameter is the number of packets to send
which are supplied in the tx_pkts array of rte_mbuf structures. The rte_eth_tx_burst() function loops,
sending nb_pkts packets, up to the number of transmit descriptors available in the TX ring of the transmit
queue. For each packet to send, the rte_eth_tx_burst() function performs the following operations:
Pick up the next available descriptor in the transmit ring.
Free the network buffer previously sent with that descriptor, if any.
Initialize the transmit descriptor with the information provided in the rte_mbuf data structure.
In the case of a segmented packet composed of a list of rte_mbuf buffers, the rte_eth_tx_burst() function
uses several transmit descriptors of the ring.
The rte_eth_tx_burst() function returns the number of packets it actually sent. A return value equal to nb_pkts means that all packets have been sent, and this is likely to signify that other output packets could
be immediately transmitted again. Applications that implement a "send as many packets to transmit as
possible" policy can check this specific case and keep invoking the rte_eth_tx_burst() function until a value
less than nb_pkts is returned.
It is the responsibility of the rte_eth_tx_burst() function to transparently free the memory buffers of packets
previously sent. This feature is driven by the tx_free_thresh value supplied to the rte_eth_dev_configure()
function at device configuration time. When the number of previously sent packets reached the "minimum
transmit packets to free" threshold, the rte_eth_tx_burst() function must [attempt to] free the rte_mbuf
buffers of those packets whose transmission was effectively completed.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_id The index of the transmit queue through which output packets must be sent. The
value must be in the range [0, nb_tx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
tx_pkts The address of an array of nb_pkts pointers to rte_mbuf structures which contain
the output packets.
nb_pkts The maximum number of packets to transmit.

This is a hash table implementation for four byte keys (fbk).
Note that the return value of the add function should always be checked as, if a bucket is full, the key is not
added even if there is space in other buckets. This keeps the lookup function very simple and therefore fast.

3.19.4
Function Documentation
3.19.4.1
int rte eal remote launch ( lcore_function_t f, void arg, unsigned slave id )
Launch a function on another lcore.
To be executed on the MASTER lcore only.
Sends a message to a slave lcore (identified by the slave_id) that is in the WAIT state (this is true after the
first call to rte_eal_init()). This can be checked by first calling rte_eal_wait_lcore(slave_id).
When the remote lcore receives the message, it switches to the RUNNING state, then calls the function f
with argument arg. Once the execution is done, the remote lcore switches to a FINISHED state and the
return value of f is stored in a local variable to be read using rte_eal_wait_lcore().
The MASTER lcore returns as soon as the message is sent and knows nothing about the completion of f.
Note: This function is not designed to offer optimum performance. It is just a practical way to launch a
function on another lcore at initialization time.
Parameters
f The function to be called.
arg The argument for the function.
slave_id The identifier of the lcore on which the function should be executed.

Returns

(-EBUSY): The remote lcore is not in a WAIT state.
3.19.4.2
int rte eal mp remote launch ( lcore_function_t f, void arg, enum rte_rmt_call_master_t
call master )
Launch a function on all lcores.
Check that each SLAVE lcore is in a WAIT state, then call rte_eal_remote_launch() for each lcore.
Parameters
f The function to be called.
arg The argument for the function.
call_master If call_master set to SKIP_MASTER, the MASTER lcore does not call the function. If call_master is set to CALL_MASTER, the function is also called on master before
returning. In any case, the master lcore returns as soon as it finished its job and knows
nothing about the completion of f on the other lcores.
Returns
0: Success. Execution of function f started on all remote lcores.
(-EBUSY): At least one remote lcore is not in a WAIT state. In this case, no message is sent to
any of the lcores.
3.19.4.3
enum rte_lcore_state_t rte eal get lcore state ( unsigned slave id )

If the slave lcore identified by the slave_id is in a FINISHED state, switch to the WAIT state. If the lcore is in
RUNNING state, wait until the lcore finishes its job and moves to the FINISHED state.
Parameters
slave_id The identifier of the lcore.
Returns
0: If the lcore identified by the slave_id is in a WAIT state.
The value that was returned by the previous remote launch function call if the lcore identified by
the slave_id was in a FINISHED or RUNNING state. In this case, it changes the state of the lcore
to WAIT.
3.19.4.5
void rte eal mp wait lcore ( void )
Wait until all lcores finish their jobs.
To be executed on the MASTER lcore only. Issue an rte_eal_wait_lcore() for every lcore. The return values
are ignored.
After a call to rte_eal_mp_wait_lcores(), the caller can assume that all slave lcores are in a WAIT state.

November 2012
Reference Number: 326004-001
Intel Data Plane Development Kit (Intel DPDK)
API Reference
181
Intel DPDK - rte_log.h File Reference
RTE_LOG() can be used to remove debug logs at compilation time, depending on RTE_LOG_LEVEL
configuration option, and compilation optimization level. If optimization is enabled, the tests involving
constants only are pre-computed. If compilation is done with -O0, these tests will be done at run time.
The log level and log type names are smaller, for example: RTE_LOG(INFO, EAL, "this is a %s", "log");
Parameters
l Log level. A value between EMERG (1) and DEBUG (8). The short name is expanded
by the macro, so it cannot be an integer value.
t The log type, for example, EAL. The short name is expanded by the macro, so it cannot
be an integer value.
fmt The fmt string, as in printf(3), followed by the variable arguments required by the format.
args The variable list of arguments according to the format string.
Returns
0: Success.
Negative on error.
3.21.3
Function Documentation
3.21.3.1
int rte openlog stream ( FILE f )
Change the stream that will be used by the logging system.
This can be done at any time. The f argument represents the stream to be used to send the logs. If f is
NULL, the default output is used, which is the serial line in case of bare metal, or directly sent to syslog in
case of linux application.
Parameters
f Pointer to the stream.
Returns
0 on success.
Negative on error.
3.21.3.2
void rte set log level ( uint32 t level )
Set the global log level.
After this call, all logs that are lower or equal than level and lower or equal than the RTE_LOG_LEVEL
configuration option will be displayed.

rte_log.h File Reference - Intel DPDK
Parameters
level Log level. A value between RTE_LOG_EMERG (1) and RTE_LOG_DEBUG (8).
3.21.3.3
void rte set log type ( uint32 t type, int enable )
Enable or disable the log type.
Parameters
type Log type, for example, RTE_LOGTYPE_EAL.
enable True for enable; false for disable.
3.21.3.4
int rte log cur msg loglevel ( void )
Get the current loglevel for the message being processed.
Before calling the user-defined stream for logging, the log subsystem sets a per-lcore variable containing
the loglevel and the logtype of the message being processed. This information can be accessed by the
user-defined log output function through this function.
Returns
The loglevel of the message being processed.
3.21.3.5
int rte log cur msg logtype ( void )
Get the current logtype for the message being processed.
Before calling the user-defined stream for logging, the log subsystem sets a per-lcore variable containing
the loglevel and the logtype of the message being processed. This information can be accessed by the
user-defined log output function through this function.
Returns
The logtype of the message being processed.
3.21.3.6
void rte log set history ( int enable )

3.21.3.8
int rte log add in history ( const char buf, size t size )
Add a log message to the history.
This function can be called from a user-defined log stream. It adds the given message in the history that
can be dumped using rte_log_dump_history().
Parameters
buf A data buffer containing the message to be saved in the history.
size The length of the data buffer.
Returns
0: Success.
(-ENOBUFS) if there is no room to store the message.
3.21.3.9
int rte log ( uint32 t level, uint32 t logtype, const char format, ... )
Generates a log message.
The message will be sent in the stream defined by the previous call to rte_openlog_stream().
The level argument determines if the log should be displayed or not, depending on the global rte_logs
variable.
The preferred alternative is the RTE_LOG() function because debug logs may be removed at compilation
time if optimization is enabled. Moreover, logs are automatically prefixed by type when using the macro.
Parameters
level Log level. A value between RTE_LOG_EMERG (1) and RTE_LOG_DEBUG (8).
logtype The log type, for example, RTE_LOGTYPE_EAL.
format The format string, as in printf(3), followed by the variable arguments required by the
format.
Returns
0: Success.

Detailed Description
RTE Malloc. This library provides methods for dynamically allocating memory from hugepages.
3.23.2
Function Documentation
3.23.2.1
void rte malloc ( const char type, size t size, unsigned align )
This function allocates memory from the huge-page area of memory. The memory is not cleared.
Parameters
type A string identifying the type of allocated objects (useful for debug purposes, such as
identifying the cause of a memory leak). Can be NULL.
size Size (in bytes) to be allocated.
align If 0, the return is a pointer that is suitably aligned for any kind of variable (in the same
manner as malloc()). Otherwise, the return is a pointer that is a multiple of align. In this case, it must be a power of two. (Minimum alignment is the cacheline size, i.e.
64-bytes)
Returns
NULL on error. Not enough memory, or invalid arguments (size is 0, align is not a power of two).
Otherwise, the pointer to the allocated object.
3.23.2.2
void rte zmalloc ( const char type, size t size, unsigned align )
Allocate zeroed memory from the heap.
Equivalent to rte_malloc() except that the memory zone is initialised with zeros.

size Size (in bytes) to be allocated.
align If 0, the return is a pointer that is suitably aligned for any kind of variable (in the same
manner as malloc()). Otherwise, the return is a pointer that is a multiple of align. In
this case, it must obviously be a power of two. (Minimum alignment is the cacheline size,
i.e. 64-bytes)
Returns
NULL on error. Not enough memory, or invalid arguments (size is 0, align is not a power of two).
Otherwise, the pointer to the allocated object.

identifying the cause of a memory leak). Can be NULL.
num Number of elements to be allocated.
size Size (in bytes) of a single element.
align If 0, the return is a pointer that is suitably aligned for any kind of variable (in the same
manner as malloc()). Otherwise, the return is a pointer that is a multiple of align. In
this case, it must obviously be a power of two. (Minimum alignment is the cacheline size,
i.e. 64-bytes)
Returns
NULL on error. Not enough memory, or invalid arguments (size is 0, align is not a power of two).
Otherwise, the pointer to the allocated object.

void rte realloc ( void ptr, size t size, unsigned align )
Replacement function for realloc(), using huge-page memory. Reserved area memory is resized, preserving
contents.
Parameters
ptr Pointer to already allocated memory
size Size (in bytes) of new area. If this is 0, memory is freed.
align If 0, the return is a pointer that is suitably aligned for any kind of variable (in the same
manner as malloc()). Otherwise, the return is a pointer that is a multiple of align. In
this case, it must obviously be a power of two. (Minimum alignment is the cacheline size,

Returns
NULL on error. Not enough memory, or invalid arguments (size is 0, align is not a power of two).
Otherwise, the pointer to the reallocated memory.
3.23.2.5
void rte free ( void ptr )
Frees the memory space pointed to by the provided pointer.
This pointer must have been returned by a previous call to rte_malloc(), rte_zmalloc(), rte_calloc() or rte_realloc(). The behaviour of rte_free() is undefined if the pointer does not match this requirement.
If the pointer is NULL, the function does nothing.
Parameters
ptr The pointer to memory to be freed.
3.23.2.6
int rte malloc validate ( void ptr, size t size )
If malloc debug is enabled, check a memory block for header and trailer markers to indicate that all is well
with the block. If size is non-null, also return the size of the block.
Parameters
ptr pointer to the start of a data block, must have been returned by a previous call to rte_malloc(), rte_zmalloc(), rte_calloc() or rte_realloc()
size if non-null, and memory block pointer is valid, returns the size of the memory block
Returns
-1 on error, invalid pointer passed or header and trailer markers are missing or corrupted 0 on success
3.23.2.7
void rte malloc dump stats ( const char type )
Dump statistics.
Dump for the specified type to the console. If the type argument is NULL, all memory types will be dumped.
Parameters

Detailed Description
RTE Mbuf
The mbuf library provides the ability to create and destroy buffers that may be used by the RTE application
to store message buffers. The message buffers are stored in a mempool, using the RTE mempool library.
This library provide an API to allocate/free mbufs, manipulate control message buffer (ctrlmbuf), which are
generic message buffers, and packet buffers (pktmbuf), which are used to carry network packets.
To understand the concepts of packet buffers or mbufs, you should read "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2:
The Implementation, Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0-201-63354-X from Richard Stevens" http://www.kohala.com/start/tcpipiv2.html
The main modification of this implementation is the use of mbuf for transports other than packets. mbufs
can have other types.

Get the layout of the available physical memory.
It can be useful for an application to have the full physical memory layout to decide the size of a memory
zone to reserve. This table is stored in rte_config (see rte_eal_get_configuration()).
Returns
On success, return a pointer to a read-only table of struct rte_physmem_desc elements, containing
the layout of all addressable physical memory. The last element of the table contains a NULL
address.
On error, return NULL. This should not happen since it is a fatal error that will probably cause the

Detailed Description
RTE Mempool.
A memory pool is an allocator of fixed-size object. It is identified by its name, and uses a ring to store free
objects. It provides some other optional services, like a per-core object cache, and an alignment helper to
ensure that objects are padded to spread them equally on all RAM channels, ranks, and so on.
Objects owned by a mempool should never be added in another mempool. When an object is freed using
rte_mempool_put() or equivalent, the object data is not modified; the user can save some meta-data in the
object data and retrieve them when allocating a new object.

Note: the mempool implementation is not preemptable. A lcore must not be interrupted by another task
that uses the same mempool (because it uses a ring which is not preemptable). Also, mempool functions
must not be used outside the DPDK environment: for example, in linuxapp environment, a thread that is
not created by the EAL must not use mempools. This is due to the per-lcore cache that wont work as
rte_lcore_id() will not return a correct value.

rte_mempool_obj_ctor_t obj init, void obj init arg, int socket id, unsigned flags ) [read]
Creates a new mempool named name in memory.
This function uses memzone_reserve() to allocate memory. The pool contains n elements of elt_size. Its
size is set to n. By default, bulk_default_count (the default number of elements to get/put in the pool) is set
to 1.
See also
rte_mempool_set_bulk_count() to modify this valule.
Parameters
name The name of the mempool.
n The number of elements in the mempool. The optimum size (in terms of memory usage)
for a mempool is when n is a power of two minus one: n = (2 q - 1).
elt_size The size of each element.

Intel DPDK - rte_mempool.h File Reference
cache_size If cache_size is non-zero, the rte_mempool library will try to limit the accesses to the
common lockless pool, by maintaining a per-lcore object cache. This argument must
be lower or equal to CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE. It is advised to
choose cache_size to have "n modulo cache_size == 0": if this is not the case, some
elements will always stay in the pool and will never be used. The access to the perlcore table is of course faster than the multi-producer/consumer pool. The cache can be
disabled if the cache_size argument is set to 0; it can be useful to avoid loosing objects
in cache. Note that even if not used, the memory space for cache is always reserved in
a mempool structure, except if CONFIG_RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE is set
to 0.
private_data_- The size of the private data appended after the mempool structure. This is useful for
size storing some private data after the mempool structure, as is done for rte_mbuf_pool for
example.
mp_init A function pointer that is called for initialization of the pool, before object initialization.
The user can initialize the private data in this function if needed. This parameter can be
NULL if not needed.
mp_init_arg An opaque pointer to data that can be used in the mempool constructor function.
obj_init A function pointer that is called for each object at initialization of the pool. The user can
set some meta data in objects if needed. This parameter can be NULL if not needed.
The obj_init() function takes the mempool pointer, the init_arg, the object pointer and the
object number as parameters.
obj_init_arg An opaque pointer to data that can be used as an argument for each call to the object
constructor function.
socket_id The socket_id argument is the socket identifier in the case of NUMA. The value can
be SOCKET_ID_ANY if there is no NUMA constraint for the reserved zone.
flags The flags arguments is an OR of following flags:
MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD: By default, objects addresses are spread between
channels in RAM: the pool allocator will add padding between objects depending
on the hardware configuration. See Memory alignment constraints for details. If
this flag is set, the allocator will just align them to a cache line.
MEMPOOL_F_NO_CACHE_ALIGN: By default, the returned objects are cachealigned. This flag removes this constraint, and no padding will be present between
objects. This flag implies MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD.
MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_mempool_put() or rte_mempool_put_bulk() is "single-producer". Otherwise, it is
"multi-producers".
MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_mempool_get() or rte_mempool_get_bulk() is "single-consumer". Otherwise, it is
"multi-consumers".
Returns
The pointer to the new allocated mempool, on success. NULL on error with rte_errno set appropriately.
Possible rte_errno values include:

This zone is accessed using rte_eal_get_configuration(). The lookup (by name) of a memory zone can be
done in any partition and returns the same physical address.
A reserved memory zone cannot be unreserved. The reservation shall be done at initialization time only.

Currently two families of devices are recognised: those supported by the IGB driver, and those supported
by the IXGBE driver. The inclusion of these in an array built using this file depends on the definition of
RTE_LIBRTE_IGB_PMD and RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_PMD at the time when this file is included.
In order to populate an array, the user of this file must define this macro: RTE_PCI_DEV_ID_DECL(vendorID, deviceID). For example:
struct device {

Detailed Description
RTE Ring
The Ring Manager is a fixed-size queue, implemented as a table of pointers. Head and tail pointers are
modified atomically, allowing concurrent access to it. It has the following features:
FIFO (First In First Out)
Maximum size is fixed; the pointers are stored in a table.
Lockless implementation.
Multi- or single-consumer dequeue.
Multi- or single-producer enqueue.
Bulk dequeue.
Bulk enqueue.
Note: the ring implementation is not preemptable. A lcore must not be interrupted by another task that uses
the same ring.

Function Documentation
3.34.3.1
struct rte_ring rte ring create ( const char name, unsigned count, int socket id, unsigned flags )
[read]
Create a new ring named name in memory.
This function uses memzone_reserve() to allocate memory. Its size is set to count, which must be a
power of two. Water marking is disabled by default. The default bulk count is initialized to 1. Note that the
real usable ring size is count-1 instead of count.
Parameters
name The name of the ring.
count The size of the ring (must be a power of 2).
socket_id The socket_id argument is the socket identifier in case of NUMA. The value can be
SOCKET_ID_ANY if there is no NUMA constraint for the reserved zone.
flags An OR of the following:
RING_F_SP_ENQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_enqueue() or rte_ring_enqueue_bulk() is "single-producer". Otherwise, it is
"multi-producers".
RING_F_SC_DEQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_dequeue() or rte_ring_dequeue_bulk() is "single-consumer". Otherwise, it is
"multi-consumers".
Returns
On success, the pointer to the new allocated ring. NULL on error with rte_errno set appropriately.
Possible errno values include:
E_RTE_NO_CONFIG - function could not get pointer to rte_config structure
E_RTE_SECONDARY - function was called from a secondary process instance
E_RTE_NO_TAILQ - no tailq list could be got for the ring list
EINVAL - count provided is not a power of 2
ENOSPC - the maximum number of memzones has already been allocated
EEXIST - a memzone with the same name already exists
ENOMEM - no appropriate memory area found in which to create memzone
3.34.3.2
static int rte ring set bulk count ( struct rte_ring r, unsigned count ) [static]
Set the default bulk count for enqueue/dequeue.
The parameter count is the default number of bulk elements to get/put when using rte_ring__{en,de}queue_bulk(). It must be greater than 0 and less than half of the ring size.

3.38.2.1
static int rte snprintf ( char buffer, int buflen, const char format, ... ) [static]
Safer version of snprintf that writes up to buflen characters to the output buffer and ensures that the resultant
string is null-terminated, that is, it writes at most buflen-1 actual string characters to buffer. The return value
is the number of characters which should be written to the buffer, so string truncation can be detected by
the caller by checking if the return value is greater than or equal to the buflen.
Parameters
buffer The buffer into which the output is to be written
buflen The size of the output buffer
format The format string to be printed to the buffer

3.38.2.2
static int rte strsplit ( char string, int stringlen, char tokens, int maxtokens, char delim ) [static]
Takes string "string" parameter and splits it at character "delim" up to maxtokens-1 times - to give
"maxtokens" resulting tokens. Like strtok or strsep functions, this modifies its input string, by replacing
instances of "delim" with \0. All resultant tokens are returned in the "tokens" array which must have enough
entries to hold "maxtokens".
Parameters
string
stringlen
tokens
maxtokens
The input string to be split into tokens
The max length of the input buffer
The array to hold the pointers to the tokens in the string
The number of elements in the tokens array. At most, maxtokens-1 splits of the string
will be done.
delim The character on which the split of the data will be done
Returns
The number of tokens in the tokens array.

Detailed Description
RTE Timer
This library provides a timer service to RTE Data Plane execution units that allows the execution of callback
functions asynchronously.
Timers can be periodic or single (one-shot).
The timers can be loaded from one core and executed on another. This has to be specified in the call
to rte_timer_reset().
High precision is possible. NOTE: this depends on the call frequency to rte_timer_manage() that check
the timer expiration for the local core.

API Reference

November 2012
Reference Number: 326004-001
rte_timer.h File Reference - Intel DPDK
If not used in an application, for improved performance, it can be disabled at compilation time by not
calling the rte_timer_manage() to improve performance.
The timer library uses the rte_get_hpet_cycles() function that uses the HPET, when available, to provide a
reliable time reference. [HPET routines are provided by EAL, which falls back to using the chip TSC (timestamp counter) as fallback when HPET is not available]
This library provides an interface to add, delete and restart a timer. The API is based on the BSD callout(9)
API with a few differences.
See the RTE architecture documentation for more information about the design of this library.

3.41.5.2
void rte timer init ( struct rte_timer tim )
Initialize a timer handle.
The rte_timer_init() function initializes the timer handle tim for use. No operations can be performed on a
timer before it is initialized.
Parameters
tim The timer to initialize.
3.41.5.3
int rte timer reset ( struct rte_timer tim, uint64 t ticks, enum rte_timer_type type, unsigned tim lcore,
rte_timer_cb_t fct, void arg )
Reset and start the timer associated with the timer handle.
The rte_timer_reset() function resets and starts the timer associated with the timer handle tim. When the
timer expires after ticks HPET cycles, the function specified by fct will be called with the argument arg
on core tim_lcore.
If the timer associated with the timer handle is already running (in the RUNNING state), the function will
fail. The user has to check the return value of the function to see if there is a chance that the timer is in the
RUNNING state.
If the timer is being configured on another core (the CONFIG state), it will also fail.
If the timer is pending or stopped, it will be rescheduled with the new parameters.

Parameters
tim The timer handle.
ticks The number of cycles (see rte_get_hpet_hz()) before the callback function is called.
type The type can be either:
PERIODICAL: The timer is automatically reloaded after execution (returns to the
PENDING state)
SINGLE: The timer is one-shot, that is, the timer goes to a STOPPED state after
execution.
tim_lcore The ID of the lcore where the timer callback function has to be executed. If tim_lcore is
LCORE_ID_ANY, the timer library will launch it on a different core for each call (roundrobin).
fct The callback function of the timer.
arg The user argument of the callback function.
Returns
0: Success; the timer is scheduled.
(-1): Timer is in the RUNNING or CONFIG state.

3.41.5.5
int rte timer stop ( struct rte_timer tim )
Stop a timer.
The rte_timer_stop() function stops the timer associated with the timer handle tim. It may fail if the timer
is currently running or being configured.
If the timer is pending or stopped (for instance, already expired), the function will succeed. The timer handle
tim must have been initialized using rte_timer_init(), otherwise, undefined behavior will occur.
This function can be called safely from a timer callback. If it succeeds, the timer is not referenced anymore
by the timer library and the timer structure can be freed (even in the callback function).
Parameters
tim The timer handle.
Returns
0: Success; the timer is stopped.
(-1): The timer is in the RUNNING or CONFIG state.
3.41.5.6
void rte timer stop sync ( struct rte_timer tim )
Loop until rte_timer_stop() succeeds.
After a call to this function, the timer identified by tim is stopped. See rte_timer_stop() for details.
Parameters
tim The timer handle.
3.41.5.7
int rte timer pending ( struct rte_timer tim )
Test if a timer is pending.
The rte_timer_pending() function tests the PENDING status of the timer handle tim. A PENDING timer is
one that has been scheduled and whose function has not yet been called.
Parameters
tim The timer handle.
Returns
0: The timer is not pending.
1: The timer is pending.
