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

ssize_t rte_ring_get_memsize ( unsigned count )

Calculate the memory size needed for a ring

This function returns the number of bytes needed for a ring, given the number of elements in it. This value is the sum of the size of the structure rte_ring and the size of the memory needed by the objects pointers. The value is aligned to a cache line size.

Parameters

count The number of elements in the ring (must be a power of 2).

Returns

The memory size needed for the ring on success.
-EINVAL if count is not a power of 2.

int rte_ring_init	(	struct rte_ring *	r,
		const char *	name,
		unsigned	count,
		unsigned	flags
	)

Initialize a ring structure.

Initialize a ring structure in memory pointed by "r". The size of the memory area must be large enough to store the ring structure and the object table. It is advised to use rte_ring_get_memsize() to get the appropriate size.

The ring size is set to count, which must be a power of two. Water marking is disabled by default. The real usable ring size is count-1 instead of count to differentiate a free ring from an empty ring.

The ring is not added in RTE_TAILQ_RING global list. Indeed, the memory given by the caller may not be shareable among dpdk processes.

Parameters

r	The pointer to the ring structure followed by the objects table.
name	The name of the ring.
count	The number of elements in the ring (must be a power of 2).
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: 0 on success, or a negative value on error.

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. Then it calls rte_ring_init() to initialize an empty ring.

The new ring size is set to count, which must be a power of two. Water marking is disabled by default. The real usable ring size is count-1 instead of count to differentiate a free ring from an empty ring.

The ring is added in RTE_TAILQ_RING list.

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
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

Examples:: distributor/main.c, ip_pipeline/init.c, l2fwd-ivshmem/host/host.c, load_balancer/init.c, multi_process/client_server_mp/mp_server/init.c, multi_process/l2fwd_fork/main.c, multi_process/simple_mp/main.c, packet_ordering/main.c, performance-thread/common/lthread_tls.c, performance-thread/l3fwd-thread/main.c, qos_sched/init.c, quota_watermark/qw/init.c, and vhost/main.c.

void rte_ring_free ( struct rte_ring * r )

De-allocate all memory used by the ring.

Parameters

r	Ring to free

int rte_ring_set_water_mark	(	struct rte_ring *	r,
		unsigned	count
	)

Change the high water mark.

If count is 0, water marking is disabled. Otherwise, it is set to the count value. The count value must be greater than 0 and less than the ring size.

This function can be called at any time (not necessarily at initialization).

Parameters

r	A pointer to the ring structure.
count	The new water mark value.

Returns

0: Success; water mark changed.
-EINVAL: Invalid water mark value.

Parameters

f	A pointer to a file for output
r	A pointer to the ring structure.
