Detailed Description

RTE Ethernet Device API

The Ethernet Device API is composed of two parts:

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 transmit and receive functions should not be invoked when the device or the queue 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: 

- MTU
- flow control settings
- receive mode configuration (promiscuous mode, all-multicast mode,
  hardware checksum mode, RSS/VMDQ settings etc.)
- VLAN filtering configuration
- default MAC address
- 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 before 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:

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

◆ rte_eth_iterator_init()

int rte_eth_iterator_init ( struct rte_dev_iterator *  iter,
const char *  devargs 
)

Initializes a device iterator.

This iterator allows accessing a list of devices matching some devargs.

Parameters
iterDevice iterator handle initialized by the function. The fields bus_str and cls_str might be dynamically allocated, and could be freed by calling rte_eth_iterator_cleanup().
devargsDevice description string.
Returns
0 on successful initialization, negative otherwise.

◆ rte_eth_iterator_next()

uint16_t rte_eth_iterator_next ( struct rte_dev_iterator *  iter)

Iterates on devices with devargs filter. The ownership is not checked.

The next port id is returned, and the iterator is updated.

Parameters
iterDevice iterator handle initialized by rte_eth_iterator_init(). Some fields bus_str and cls_str might be freed when no more port is found, by calling rte_eth_iterator_cleanup().
Returns
A port id if found, RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS otherwise.

◆ rte_eth_iterator_cleanup()

void rte_eth_iterator_cleanup ( struct rte_dev_iterator *  iter)

Free some allocated fields of the iterator.

This function is automatically called by rte_eth_iterator_next() on the last iteration (i.e. when no more matching port is found).

It is safe to call this function twice; it will do nothing more.

Parameters
iterDevice iterator handle initialized by rte_eth_iterator_init(). The fields bus_str and cls_str are freed if needed.

◆ rte_eth_rss_hf_refine()

static uint64_t rte_eth_rss_hf_refine ( uint64_t  rss_hf)

)

Configure an Ethernet device. This function must be invoked first before any other function in the Ethernet API. This function can also be re-invoked when a device is in the stopped state.

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device to configure.
nb_rx_queueThe number of receive queues to set up for the Ethernet device.
nb_tx_queueThe number of transmit queues to set up for the Ethernet device.
eth_confThe pointer to the configuration data to be used for the Ethernet device. The rte_eth_conf structure includes:
  • the hardware offload features to activate, with dedicated fields for each statically configurable offload hardware feature provided by Ethernet devices, such as IP checksum or VLAN tag stripping for example. The Rx offload bitfield API is obsolete and will be deprecated. Applications should set the ignore_bitfield_offloads bit on rxmode structure and use offloads field to set per-port offloads instead.
  • Any offloading set in eth_conf->[rt]xmode.offloads must be within the [rt]x_offload_capa returned from rte_eth_dev_info_get(). Any type of device supported offloading set in the input argument eth_conf->[rt]xmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure() is enabled on all queues and it can't be disabled in rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup()
  • the Receive Side Scaling (RSS) configuration when using multiple RX queues per port. Any RSS hash function set in eth_conf->rss_conf.rss_hf must be within the flow_type_rss_offloads provided by drivers via rte_eth_dev_info_get() API.

Embedding all configuration information in a single data structure is the more flexible method that allows the addition of new features without changing the syntax of the API.

Returns
  • 0: Success, device configured.
  • <0: Error code returned by the driver configuration function.

unsigned int  socket_id,
const struct rte_eth_rxconf *  rx_conf,
struct rte_mempool *  mb_pool 
)

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

The function allocates a contiguous block of memory for nb_rx_desc receive descriptors from a memory zone associated with socket_id and initializes each receive descriptor with a network buffer allocated from the memory pool mb_pool.

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
rx_queue_idThe index of the receive queue to set up. The value must be in the range [0, nb_rx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
nb_rx_descThe number of receive descriptors to allocate for the receive ring.
socket_idThe 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 DMA memory allocated for the receive descriptors of the ring.
rx_confThe pointer to the configuration data to be used for the receive queue. NULL value is allowed, in which case default RX configuration will be used. The rx_conf structure contains an rx_thresh structure with the values of the Prefetch, Host, and Write-Back threshold registers of the receive ring. In addition it contains the hardware offloads features to activate using the DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_* flags. If an offloading set in rx_conf->offloads hasn't been set in the input argument eth_conf->rxmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure(), it is a new added offloading, it must be per-queue type and it is enabled for the queue. No need to repeat any bit in rx_conf->offloads which has already been enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure() at port level. An offloading enabled at port level can't be disabled at queue level.
mb_poolThe pointer to the memory pool from which to allocate rte_mbuf network memory buffers to populate each descriptor of the receive ring.
Returns
  • 0: Success, receive queue correctly set up.
  • -EIO: if device is removed.
  • -EINVAL: The memory pool pointer is null or the size of network buffers which can be allocated from this memory pool does not fit the various buffer sizes allowed by the device controller.
  • -ENOMEM: Unable to allocate the receive ring descriptors or to allocate network memory buffers from the memory pool when initializing receive descriptors.

Allocate and set up a hairpin receive queue for an Ethernet device.

The function set up the selected queue to be used in hairpin.

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
rx_queue_idThe index of the receive queue to set up. The value must be in the range [0, nb_rx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
nb_rx_descThe number of receive descriptors to allocate for the receive ring. 0 means the PMD will use default value.
confThe pointer to the hairpin configuration.
Returns
  • (0) if successful.
  • (-ENOTSUP) if hardware doesn't support.
  • (-EINVAL) if bad parameter.
  • (-ENOMEM) if unable to allocate the resources.

◆ rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()

const struct rte_eth_txconf *  tx_conf 
)

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

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
tx_queue_idThe 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_descThe number of transmit descriptors to allocate for the transmit ring.
socket_idThe 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_confThe pointer to the configuration data to be used for the transmit queue. NULL value is allowed, in which case default TX 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 offloads member contains Tx offloads to be enabled. If an offloading set in tx_conf->offloads hasn't been set in the input argument eth_conf->txmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure(), it is a new added offloading, it must be per-queue type and it is enabled for the queue. No need to repeat any bit in tx_conf->offloads which has already been enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure() at port level. An offloading enabled at port level can't be disabled at queue level.

    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.

◆ rte_eth_dev_close()

void rte_eth_dev_close ( uint16_t  port_id)

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.

examples/eventdev_pipeline/main.c, examples/flow_filtering/main.c, examples/ioat/ioatfwd.c, examples/l2fwd-event/main.c, examples/l2fwd/main.c, examples/l3fwd-power/main.c, examples/l3fwd/main.c, examples/multi_process/client_server_mp/mp_server/main.c, and examples/ntb/ntb_fwd.c.

◆ rte_eth_dev_reset()

int rte_eth_dev_reset ( uint16_t  port_id)

Reset a Ethernet device and keep its port id.

When a port has to be reset passively, the DPDK application can invoke this function. For example when a PF is reset, all its VFs should also be reset. Normally a DPDK application can invoke this function when RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event is detected, but can also use it to start a port reset in other circumstances.

When this function is called, it first stops the port and then calls the PMD specific dev_uninit( ) and dev_init( ) to return the port to initial state, in which no Tx and Rx queues are setup, as if the port has been reset and not started. The port keeps the port id it had before the function call.

After calling rte_eth_dev_reset( ), the application should use rte_eth_dev_configure( ), rte_eth_rx_queue_setup( ), rte_eth_tx_queue_setup( ), and rte_eth_dev_start( ) to reconfigure the device as appropriate.

Note: To avoid unexpected behavior, the application should stop calling Tx and Rx functions before calling rte_eth_dev_reset( ). For thread safety, all these controlling functions should be called from the same thread.

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
Returns
  • (0) if successful.
  • (-EINVAL) if port identifier is invalid.
  • (-ENOTSUP) if hardware doesn't support this function.
  • (-EPERM) if not ran from the primary process.
  • (-EIO) if re-initialisation failed or device is removed.
  • (-ENOMEM) if the reset failed due to OOM.
  • (-EAGAIN) if the reset temporarily failed and should be retried later.

◆ rte_eth_promiscuous_enable()

int rte_eth_promiscuous_enable ( uint16_t  port_id)

uint32_t  ptype_mask,
uint32_t *  ptypes,
int  num 
)

Retrieve the supported packet types of an Ethernet device.

When a packet type is announced as supported, it must be recognized by the PMD. For instance, if RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER, RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN and RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4 are announced, the PMD must return the following packet types for these packets:

  • Ether/IPv4 -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER | RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4
  • Ether/Vlan/IPv4 -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN | RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4
  • Ether/[anything else] -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER
  • Ether/Vlan/[anything else] -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN

When a packet is received by a PMD, the most precise type must be returned among the ones supported. However a PMD is allowed to set packet type that is not in the supported list, at the condition that it is more precise. Therefore, a PMD announcing no supported packet types can still set a matching packet type in a received packet.

Note
Better to invoke this API after the device is already started or rx burst function is decided, to obtain correct supported ptypes.
if a given PMD does not report what ptypes it supports, then the supported ptype count is reported as 0.
Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
ptype_maskA hint of what kind of packet type which the caller is interested in.
ptypesAn array pointer to store adequate packet types, allocated by caller.
numSize of the array pointed by param ptypes.
Returns
  • (>=0) Number of supported ptypes. If the number of types exceeds num, only num entries will be filled into the ptypes array, but the full count of supported ptypes will be returned.
  • (-ENODEV) if port_id invalid.

Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

Inform Ethernet device about reduced range of packet types to handle.

Application can use this function to set only specific ptypes that it's interested. This information can be used by the PMD to optimize Rx path.

The function accepts an array set_ptypes allocated by the caller to store the packet types set by the driver, the last element of the array is set to RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN. The size of the set_ptype array should be rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes() + 1 else it might only be filled partially.

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
ptype_maskThe ptype family that application is interested in should be bitwise OR of RTE_PTYPE_*_MASK or 0.
set_ptypesAn array pointer to store set packet types, allocated by caller. The function marks the end of array with RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN.
numSize of the array pointed by param ptypes. Should be rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes() + 1 to accommodate the set ptypes.
Returns
  • (0) if Success.
  • (-ENODEV) if port_id invalid.

)

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
bufferThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
callbackThe function to be used as the callback.
userdataArbitrary parameter to be passed to the callback function

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.

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.

◆ rte_eth_read_clock()

__rte_experimental int rte_eth_read_clock ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint64_t *  clock 
)
Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

Read the current clock counter of an Ethernet device

This returns the current raw clock value of an Ethernet device. It is a raw amount of ticks, with no given time reference. The value returned here is from the same clock than the one filling timestamp field of Rx packets when using hardware timestamp offload. Therefore it can be used to compute a precise conversion of the device clock to the real time.

E.g, a simple heuristic to derivate the frequency would be: uint64_t start, end; rte_eth_read_clock(port, start); rte_delay_ms(100); rte_eth_read_clock(port, end); double freq = (end - start) * 10;

Compute a common reference with: uint64_t base_time_sec = current_time(); uint64_t base_clock; rte_eth_read_clock(port, base_clock);

Then, convert the raw mbuf timestamp with: base_time_sec + (double)(mbuf->timestamp - base_clock) / freq;

This simple example will not provide a very good accuracy. One must at least measure multiple times the frequency and do a regression. To avoid deviation from the system time, the common reference can be repeated from time to time. The integer division can also be converted by a multiplication and a shift for better performance.

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
clockPointer to the uint64_t that holds the raw clock value.
Returns
  • 0: Success.
  • -ENODEV: The port ID is invalid.
  • -ENOTSUP: The function is not supported by the Ethernet driver.

◆ rte_eth_rx_burst()

static uint16_t rte_eth_rx_burst ( uint16_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 caller 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_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_idThe 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_pktsThe address of an array of pointers to rte_mbuf structures that must be large enough to store nb_pkts pointers in it.
nb_pktsThe maximum number of packets to retrieve.
Returns
The number of packets actually retrieved, which is the number of pointers to rte_mbuf structures effectively supplied to the rx_pkts array.

◆ rte_eth_rx_descriptor_status()

static int rte_eth_rx_descriptor_status ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint16_t  queue_id,
uint16_t  offset 
)
inlinestatic

Check the status of a Rx descriptor in the queue

It should be called in a similar context than the Rx function:

  • on a dataplane core
  • not concurrently on the same queue

Since it's a dataplane function, no check is performed on port_id and queue_id. The caller must therefore ensure that the port is enabled and the queue is configured and running.

Note: accessing to a random descriptor in the ring may trigger cache misses and have a performance impact.

Parameters
port_idA valid port identifier of the Ethernet device which.
queue_idA valid Rx queue identifier on this port.
offsetThe offset of the descriptor starting from tail (0 is the next packet to be received by the driver).
Returns
  • (RTE_ETH_RX_DESC_AVAIL): Descriptor is available for the hardware to receive a packet.
  • (RTE_ETH_RX_DESC_DONE): Descriptor is done, it is filled by hw, but not yet processed by the driver (i.e. in the receive queue).
  • (RTE_ETH_RX_DESC_UNAVAIL): Descriptor is unavailable, either hold by the driver and not yet returned to hw, or reserved by the hw.
  • (-EINVAL) bad descriptor offset.
  • (-ENOTSUP) if the device does not support this function.
  • (-ENODEV) bad port or queue (only if compiled with debug).

◆ rte_eth_tx_descriptor_status()

static int rte_eth_tx_descriptor_status ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint16_t  queue_id,
uint16_t  offset 
)
inlinestatic

Check the status of a Tx descriptor in the queue.

It should be called in a similar context than the Tx function:

  • on a dataplane core
  • not concurrently on the same queue

Since it's a dataplane function, no check is performed on port_id and queue_id. The caller must therefore ensure that the port is enabled and the queue is configured and running.

Note: accessing to a random descriptor in the ring may trigger cache misses and have a performance impact.

Parameters
port_idA valid port identifier of the Ethernet device which.
queue_idA valid Tx queue identifier on this port.
offsetThe offset of the descriptor starting from tail (0 is the place where the next packet will be send).
Returns
  • (RTE_ETH_TX_DESC_FULL) Descriptor is being processed by the hw, i.e. in the transmit queue.
  • (RTE_ETH_TX_DESC_DONE) Hardware is done with this descriptor, it can be reused by the driver.
  • (RTE_ETH_TX_DESC_UNAVAIL): Descriptor is unavailable, reserved by the driver or the hardware.
  • (-EINVAL) bad descriptor offset.
  • (-ENOTSUP) if the device does not support this function.
  • (-ENODEV) bad port or queue (only if compiled with debug).

◆ rte_eth_tx_burst()

static uint16_t rte_eth_tx_burst ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint16_t  queue_id,
struct rte_mbuf **  tx_pkts,
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, each of them allocated from a pool created with rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(). 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.

If the PMD is DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE capable, multiple threads can invoke this function concurrently on the same tx queue without SW lock.

rte_eth_dev_info_get, struct rte_eth_txconf::offloads
rte_eth_tx_prepare to perform some prior checks or adjustments for offloads.
Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_idThe 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_pktsThe address of an array of nb_pkts pointers to rte_mbuf structures which contain the output packets.
nb_pktsThe 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.

◆ rte_eth_tx_prepare()

static uint16_t rte_eth_tx_prepare ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint16_t  queue_id,
struct rte_mbuf **  tx_pkts,
uint16_t  nb_pkts 
)
inlinestatic

Process a burst of output packets on a transmit queue of an Ethernet device.

The rte_eth_tx_prepare() function is invoked to prepare output packets to be transmitted 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 be prepared which are supplied in the tx_pkts array of rte_mbuf structures, each of them allocated from a pool created with rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(). For each packet to send, the rte_eth_tx_prepare() function performs the following operations:

  • Check if packet meets devices requirements for tx offloads.
  • Check limitations about number of segments.
  • Check additional requirements when debug is enabled.
  • Update and/or reset required checksums when tx offload is set for packet.

Since this function can modify packet data, provided mbufs must be safely writable (e.g. modified data cannot be in shared segment).

The rte_eth_tx_prepare() function returns the number of packets ready to be sent. A return value equal to nb_pkts means that all packets are valid and ready to be sent, otherwise stops processing on the first invalid packet and leaves the rest packets untouched.

When this functionality is not implemented in the driver, all packets are are returned untouched.

Parameters
port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device. The value must be a valid port id.
queue_idThe 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_pktsThe address of an array of nb_pkts pointers to rte_mbuf structures which contain the output packets.
nb_pktsThe maximum number of packets to process.
Returns
The number of packets correct and ready to be sent. The return value can be less than the value of the tx_pkts parameter when some packet doesn't meet devices requirements with rte_errno set appropriately:
  • EINVAL: offload flags are not correctly set
  • ENOTSUP: the offload feature is not supported by the hardware

static uint16_t rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush ( uint16_t  port_id,
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_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_idThe 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().
bufferBuffer 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.

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

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_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_idThe 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().
bufferBuffer used to collect packets to be sent.
tx_pktPointer 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.
