Detailed Description

RTE BPF support.

Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: All functions in this file may be changed or removed without prior notice.

librte_bpf provides a framework to load and execute eBPF bytecode inside user-space dpdk based applications. It supports basic set of features from eBPF spec (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/filter.txt).

Function Documentation

void __rte_experimental rte_bpf_destroy ( struct rte_bpf *  bpf)

De-allocate all memory used by this eBPF execution context.

Parameters
bpfBPF handle to destroy.
struct rte_bpf* __rte_experimental rte_bpf_load ( const struct rte_bpf_prm prm)

Create a new eBPF execution context and load given BPF code into it.

Parameters
prmParameters used to create and initialise the BPF execution context.
Returns
BPF handle that is used in future BPF operations, or NULL on error, with error code set in rte_errno. Possible rte_errno errors include:
  • EINVAL - invalid parameter passed to function
  • ENOMEM - can't reserve enough memory
struct rte_bpf* __rte_experimental rte_bpf_elf_load ( const struct rte_bpf_prm prm,
const char *  fname,
const char *  sname 
)

Create a new eBPF execution context and load BPF code from given ELF file into it. Note that if the function will encounter EBPF_PSEUDO_CALL instruction that references external symbol, it will treat is as standard BPF_CALL to the external helper function.

Parameters
prmParameters used to create and initialise the BPF execution context.
fnamePathname for a ELF file.
snameName of the executable section within the file to load.
Returns
BPF handle that is used in future BPF operations, or NULL on error, with error code set in rte_errno. Possible rte_errno errors include:
  • EINVAL - invalid parameter passed to function
  • ENOMEM - can't reserve enough memory
uint64_t __rte_experimental rte_bpf_exec ( const struct rte_bpf *  bpf,
void *  ctx 
)

Execute given BPF bytecode.

Parameters
bpfhandle for the BPF code to execute.
ctxpointer to input context.
Returns
BPF execution return value.
uint32_t __rte_experimental rte_bpf_exec_burst ( const struct rte_bpf *  bpf,
void *  ctx[],
uint64_t  rc[],
uint32_t  num 
)

Execute given BPF bytecode over a set of input contexts.

Parameters
bpfhandle for the BPF code to execute.
ctxarray of pointers to the input contexts.
rcarray of return values (one per input).
numnumber of elements in ctx[] (and rc[]).
Returns
number of successfully processed inputs.
int __rte_experimental rte_bpf_get_jit ( const struct rte_bpf *  bpf,
struct rte_bpf_jit jit 
)

Provide information about natively compiled code for given BPF handle.

Parameters
bpfhandle for the BPF code.
jitpointer to the rte_bpf_jit structure to be filled with related data.
Returns
  • -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
  • Zero if operation completed successfully.
