Function Documentation

struct rte_hash* rte_hash_create ( const struct rte_hash_parameters params)
read

Create a new hash table.

Parameters
paramsParameters used to create and initialise the hash table.
Returns
Pointer to hash table structure that is used in future hash table operations, or NULL on error, with error code set in rte_errno. Possible rte_errno errors 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
  • ENOENT - missing entry
  • EINVAL - invalid parameter passed to function
  • 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
Examples:
examples/ipsec-secgw/ipsec-secgw.c, examples/l3fwd-power/main.c, examples/l3fwd-vf/main.c, examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_em.c, examples/performance-thread/l3fwd-thread/main.c, and examples/server_node_efd/node/node.c.
void rte_hash_set_cmp_func ( struct rte_hash h,
rte_hash_cmp_eq_t  func 
)

Set a new hash compare function other than the default one.

Note
Function pointer does not work with multi-process, so do not use it in multi-process mode.
Parameters
hHash table for which the function is to be changed
funcNew compare function
struct rte_hash* rte_hash_find_existing ( const char *  name)
read

Find an existing hash table object and return a pointer to it.

Parameters
nameName of the hash table as passed to rte_hash_create()
Returns
Pointer to hash table or NULL if object not found with rte_errno set appropriately. Possible rte_errno values include:
  • ENOENT - value not available for return
void rte_hash_free ( struct rte_hash h)

De-allocate all memory used by hash table.

Parameters
hHash table to free
void rte_hash_reset ( struct rte_hash h)

Reset all hash structure, by zeroing all entries. When RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_RW_CONCURRENCY_LF is enabled, it is application's responsibility to make sure that none of the readers are referencing the hash table while calling this API.

Parameters
hHash table to reset
int32_t rte_hash_count ( const struct rte_hash h)

Return the number of keys in the hash table

Parameters
hHash table to query from
Returns
  • -EINVAL if parameters are invalid
  • A value indicating how many keys were inserted in the table.
int rte_hash_add_key_data ( const struct rte_hash h,
const void *  key,
void *  data 
)

Add a key-value pair to an existing hash table. This operation is not multi-thread safe and should only be called from one thread by default. Thread safety can be enabled by setting flag during table creation. If the key exists already in the table, this API updates its value with 'data' passed in this API. It is the responsibility of the application to manage any memory associated with the old value. The readers might still be using the old value even after this API has returned.

Parameters
hHash table to add the key to.
keyKey to add to the hash table.
dataData to add to the hash table.
Returns
  • 0 if added successfully
  • -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
  • -ENOSPC if there is no space in the hash for this key.
Examples:
examples/ipsec-secgw/ipsec-secgw.c.
int32_t rte_hash_add_key_with_hash_data ( const struct rte_hash h,
const void *  key,
hash_sig_t  sig,
void *  data 
)

Add a key-value pair with a pre-computed hash value to an existing hash table. This operation is not multi-thread safe and should only be called from one thread by default. Thread safety can be enabled by setting flag during table creation. If the key exists already in the table, this API updates its value with 'data' passed in this API. It is the responsibility of the application to manage any memory associated with the old value. The readers might still be using the old value even after this API has returned.

Parameters
hHash table to add the key to.
keyKey to add to the hash table.
sigPrecomputed hash value for 'key'
dataData to add to the hash table.
Returns
  • 0 if added successfully
  • -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
  • -ENOSPC if there is no space in the hash for this key.
int32_t rte_hash_add_key ( const struct rte_hash h,
const void *  key 
)

Parameters
hHash table to add the key to.
keyKey to add to the hash table.
Returns
  • -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
  • -ENOSPC if there is no space in the hash for this key.
  • A positive value that can be used by the caller as an offset into an array of user data. This value is unique for this key.
Examples:
examples/l3fwd-power/main.c, examples/l3fwd-vf/main.c, examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_em.c, examples/performance-thread/l3fwd-thread/main.c, and examples/server_node_efd/node/node.c.
int32_t rte_hash_add_key_with_hash ( const struct rte_hash h,
const void *  key,

keyKey to add to the hash table.
sigPrecomputed hash value for 'key'.
Returns
  • -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
  • -ENOSPC if there is no space in the hash for this key.
  • A positive value that can be used by the caller as an offset into an array of user data. This value is unique for this key.
int32_t rte_hash_del_key ( const struct rte_hash h,
const void *  key 
)

Remove a key from an existing hash table. This operation is not multi-thread safe and should only be called from one thread by default. Thread safety can be enabled by setting flag during table creation. If RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_NO_FREE_ON_DEL or RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_RW_CONCURRENCY_LF is enabled, the key index returned by rte_hash_add_key_xxx APIs will not be freed by this API. rte_hash_free_key_with_position API must be called additionally to free the index associated with the key. rte_hash_free_key_with_position API should be called after all the readers have stopped referencing the entry corresponding to this key. RCU mechanisms could be used to determine such a state.

Parameters
hHash table to remove the key from.
keyKey to remove from the hash table.
Returns
  • -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
  • -ENOENT if the key is not found.
  • A positive value that can be used by the caller as an offset into an array of user data. This value is unique for this key, and is the same value that was returned when the key was added.
int32_t rte_hash_del_key_with_hash ( const struct rte_hash h,
const void *  key,
hash_sig_t  sig 
)

Thread safety can be enabled by setting flag during table creation. If RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_NO_FREE_ON_DEL or RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_RW_CONCURRENCY_LF is enabled, the key index returned by rte_hash_add_key_xxx APIs will not be freed by this API. rte_hash_free_key_with_position API must be called additionally to free the index associated with the key. rte_hash_free_key_with_position API should be called after all the readers have stopped referencing the entry corresponding to this key. RCU mechanisms could be used to determine such a state.

Parameters
hHash table to remove the key from.
keyKey to remove from the hash table.
sigPrecomputed hash value for 'key'.
Returns
  • -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
  • -ENOENT if the key is not found.
  • A positive value that can be used by the caller as an offset into an array of user data. This value is unique for this key, and is the same value that was returned when the key was added.

const int32_t  position,
void **  key 
)

This API does not validate if the key is already freed.

Returns
  • 0 if freed successfully
  • -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
