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.

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:

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
- 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)
- NIC queue statistics mappings

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.

Function Documentation

uint8_t rte_eth_dev_count ( void )

Get the total number of Ethernet devices that have been successfully initialized by the [matching] Ethernet driver during the PCI probing phase. All devices whose port identifier is in the range [0, rte_eth_dev_count() - 1] can be operated on by network applications immediately after invoking rte_eal_init(). If the application unplugs a port using hotplug function, The enabled port numbers may be noncontiguous. In the case, the applications need to manage enabled port by themselves.

Returns

The total number of usable Ethernet devices.

int rte_eth_tx_queue_setup	(	uint8_t	port_id,
		uint16_t	tx_queue_id,
		uint16_t	nb_tx_desc,
		unsigned int	socket_id,
		const struct rte_eth_txconf *	tx_conf
	)

Allocate and set up a transmit queue for an Ethernet device.

Parameters

port_id	The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
tx_queue_id	The index of the transmit queue to set up. The value must be in the range [0, nb_tx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
nb_tx_desc	The number of transmit descriptors to allocate for the transmit ring.
socket_id	The socket_id argument is the socket identifier in case of NUMA. Its value can be SOCKET_ID_ANY if there is no NUMA constraint for the DMA memory allocated for the transmit descriptors of the ring.
tx_conf	The pointer to the configuration data to be used for the transmit queue. NULL value is allowed, in which case default RX configuration will be used. The tx_conf structure contains the following data: The tx_thresh structure with the values of the Prefetch, Host, and Write-Back threshold registers of the transmit ring. When setting Write-Back threshold to the value greater then zero, tx_rs_thresh value should be explicitly set to one. The tx_free_thresh value indicates the [minimum] number of network buffers that must be pending in the transmit ring to trigger their [implicit] freeing by the driver transmit function. The tx_rs_thresh value indicates the [minimum] number of transmit descriptors that must be pending in the transmit ring before setting the RS bit on a descriptor by the driver transmit function. The tx_rs_thresh value should be less or equal then tx_free_thresh value, and both of them should be less then nb_tx_desc - 3. The txq_flags member contains flags to pass to the TX queue setup function to configure the behavior of the TX queue. This should be set to 0 if no special configuration is required. Note that setting tx_free_thresh or tx_rs_thresh value to 0 forces the transmit function to use default values.

Returns

0: Success, the transmit queue is correctly set up.
-ENOMEM: Unable to allocate the transmit ring descriptors.

static uint16_t rte_eth_rx_burst	(	uint8_t	port_id,
		uint16_t	queue_id,
		struct rte_mbuf **	rx_pkts,
		const uint16_t	nb_pkts
	)

inlinestatic

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.

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.

		uint16_t	nb_pkts
	)

inlinestatic

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 free TX descriptors drops below this 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.

Returns: The number of output packets actually stored in transmit descriptors of the transmit ring. The return value can be less than the value of the tx_pkts parameter when the transmit ring is full or has been filled up.

		uint16_t	queue_id,
		struct rte_eth_dev_tx_buffer *	buffer
	)

inlinestatic

Send any packets queued up for transmission on a port and HW queue

This causes an explicit flush of packets previously buffered via the rte_eth_tx_buffer() function. It returns the number of packets successfully sent to the NIC, and calls the error callback for any unsent packets. Unless explicitly set up otherwise, the default callback simply frees the unsent packets back to the owning mempool.

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().
buffer	Buffer of packets to be transmit.

Returns: The number of packets successfully sent to the Ethernet device. The error callback is called for any packets which could not be sent.

Examples:: l2fwd-jobstats/main.c, l2fwd-keepalive/main.c, l2fwd/main.c, l3fwd-acl/main.c, l3fwd-power/main.c, link_status_interrupt/main.c, multi_process/client_server_mp/mp_client/client.c, multi_process/l2fwd_fork/main.c, and qos_meter/main.c.

		uint16_t	queue_id,
		struct rte_eth_dev_tx_buffer *	buffer,
		struct rte_mbuf *	tx_pkt
	)

inlinestatic

Buffer a single packet for future transmission on a port and queue

This function takes a single mbuf/packet and buffers it for later transmission on the particular port and queue specified. Once the buffer is full of packets, an attempt will be made to transmit all the buffered packets. In case of error, where not all packets can be transmitted, a callback is called with the unsent packets as a parameter. If no callback is explicitly set up, the unsent packets are just freed back to the owning mempool. The function returns the number of packets actually sent i.e. 0 if no buffer flush occurred, otherwise the number of packets successfully flushed

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().
buffer	Buffer used to collect packets to be sent.
tx_pkt	Pointer to the packet mbuf to be sent.

Returns: 0 = packet has been buffered for later transmission N > 0 = packet has been buffered, and the buffer was subsequently flushed, causing N packets to be sent, and the error callback to be called for the rest.

int rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback	(	struct rte_eth_dev_tx_buffer *	buffer,
		buffer_tx_error_fn	callback,
		void *	userdata
	)

Configure a callback for buffered packets which cannot be sent

Register a specific callback to be called when an attempt is made to send all packets buffered on an ethernet port, but not all packets can successfully be sent. The callback registered here will be called only from calls to rte_eth_tx_buffer() and rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush() APIs. The default callback configured for each queue by default just frees the packets back to the calling mempool. If additional behaviour is required, for example, to count dropped packets, or to retry transmission of packets which cannot be sent, this function should be used to register a suitable callback function to implement the desired behaviour. The example callback "rte_eth_count_unsent_packet_callback()" is also provided as reference.

Parameters

buffer	The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
callback	The function to be used as the callback.
userdata	Arbitrary parameter to be passed to the callback function

Returns: 0 on success, or -1 on error with rte_errno set appropriately

		uint16_t	unsent,
		void *	userdata
	)

Callback function for silently dropping unsent buffered packets.

This function can be passed to rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback() to adjust the default behavior when buffered packets cannot be sent. This function drops any unsent packets silently and is used by tx buffered operations as default behavior.

NOTE: this function should not be called directly, instead it should be used as a callback for packet buffering.

NOTE: when configuring this function as a callback with rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback(), the final, userdata parameter should point to an uint64_t value.

Parameters

pkts	The previously buffered packets which could not be sent
unsent	The number of unsent packets in the pkts array
userdata	Not used

void rte_eth_tx_buffer_count_callback	(	struct rte_mbuf **	pkts,

		void *	userdata
	)

Callback function for tracking unsent buffered packets.

This function can be passed to rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback() to adjust the default behavior when buffered packets cannot be sent. This function drops any unsent packets, but also updates a user-supplied counter to track the overall number of packets dropped. The counter should be an uint64_t variable.

NOTE: this function should not be called directly, instead it should be used as a callback for packet buffering.

NOTE: when configuring this function as a callback with rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback(), the final, userdata parameter should point to an uint64_t value.
