◆ MLX5_EXTERNAL_RX_QUEUE_ID_MIN

#define MLX5_EXTERNAL_RX_QUEUE_ID_MIN   (UINT16_MAX - 1000 + 1)

External Rx queue rte_flow index minimal value.

Definition at line 69 of file rte_pmd_mlx5.h.

◆ MLX5_LINEAR_HASH_TAG_INDEX

#define MLX5_LINEAR_HASH_TAG_INDEX   255

Tag level to set the linear hash index.

Definition at line 74 of file rte_pmd_mlx5.h.

◆ MLX5_HOST_SHAPER_FLAG_AVAIL_THRESH_TRIGGERED

#define MLX5_HOST_SHAPER_FLAG_AVAIL_THRESH_TRIGGERED   0

The rate of the host port shaper will be updated directly at the next available descriptor threshold event to the rate that comes with this flag set; set rate 0 to disable this rate update. Unset this flag to update the rate of the host port shaper directly in the API call; use rate 0 to disable the current shaper.

Definition at line 126 of file rte_pmd_mlx5.h.

◆ MLX5_FLOW_ENGINE_FLAG_STANDBY_DUP_INGRESS

#define MLX5_FLOW_ENGINE_FLAG_STANDBY_DUP_INGRESS   RTE_BIT32(0)

When set on the flow engine of a standby process, ingress flow rules will be effective in active and standby processes, so the ingress traffic may be duplicated.

Definition at line 176 of file rte_pmd_mlx5.h.

Function Documentation

◆ rte_pmd_mlx5_get_dyn_flag_names()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_get_dyn_flag_names ( char *  names[],
unsigned int  n 
)

Returns the dynamic flags name, that are supported.

Parameters
[out]namesArray that is used to return the supported dynamic flags names.
[in]nThe number of elements in the names array.
Returns
The number of dynamic flags that were copied if not negative. Otherwise:
  • ENOMEM - not enough entries in the array
  • EINVAL - invalid array entry

◆ rte_pmd_mlx5_sync_flow()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_sync_flow ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint32_t  domains 
)

Synchronize the flows to make them take effort on hardware. It only supports DR flows now. For DV and Verbs flows, there is no need to call this function, and a success will return directly in case of Verbs.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]domainsRefer to "/usr/include/infiniband/mlx5dv.h". Bitmask of domains in which the synchronization will be done. MLX5_DOMAIN_BIT* macros are used to specify the domains. An ADD or OR operation could be used to synchronize flows in more than one domain per call.
Returns
  • (0) if successful.
  • Negative value if an error.

◆ rte_pmd_mlx5_external_rx_queue_id_map()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_external_rx_queue_id_map ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint16_t  dpdk_idx,
uint32_t  hw_idx 
)

Update mapping between rte_flow queue index (16 bits) and HW queue index (32 bits) for RxQs which is created outside the PMD.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]dpdk_idxQueue index in rte_flow.
[in]hw_idxQueue index in hardware.
Returns
0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set. Possible values for rte_errno:
  • EEXIST - a mapping with the same rte_flow index already exists.
  • EINVAL - invalid rte_flow index, out of range.
  • ENODEV - there is no Ethernet device for this port id.
  • ENOTSUP - the port doesn't support external RxQ.

◆ rte_pmd_mlx5_external_rx_queue_id_unmap()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_external_rx_queue_id_unmap ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint16_t  dpdk_idx 
)

Remove mapping between rte_flow queue index (16 bits) and HW queue index (32 bits) for RxQs which is created outside the PMD.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]dpdk_idxQueue index in rte_flow.
Returns
0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set. Possible values for rte_errno:
  • EINVAL - invalid index, out of range, still referenced or doesn't exist.
  • ENODEV - there is no Ethernet device for this port id.
  • ENOTSUP - the port doesn't support external RxQ.

◆ rte_pmd_mlx5_host_shaper_config()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_host_shaper_config ( int  port_id,
uint8_t  rate,
uint32_t  flags 
)

Configure a HW shaper to limit Tx rate for a host port. The configuration will affect all the ethdev ports belonging to the same rte_device.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]rateUnit is 100Mbps, setting the rate to 0 disables the shaper.
[in]flagsHost shaper flags.
Returns
0 : operation success. Otherwise:
  • ENOENT - no ibdev interface.
  • EBUSY - the register access unit is busy.
  • EIO - the register access command meets IO error.

◆ rte_pmd_mlx5_external_sq_enable()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_external_sq_enable ( uint16_t  port_id,
uint32_t  sq_num 
)

Enable traffic for external SQ.

Parameters
[in]port_idThe port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]sq_numSQ HW number.
Returns
0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set. Possible values for rte_errno:
  • EINVAL - invalid sq_number or port type.
  • ENODEV - there is no Ethernet device for this port id.

◆ rte_pmd_mlx5_flow_engine_set_mode()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_flow_engine_set_mode ( enum mlx5_flow_engine_mode  mode,
uint32_t  flags 
)
Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Set the flow engine mode of the process to active or standby, affecting network traffic handling.

If one device does not support this operation or fails, the whole operation is failed and rolled back.

It is forbidden to have multiple flow engines with the same mode unless only one of them is configured to handle the traffic.

The application's flow engine is active by default. The configuration from the active flow engine is effective immediately while the configuration from the standby flow engine is queued by hardware. When configuring the device from a standby flow engine, it has no effect except for below situations:

  • traffic not handled by the active flow engine configuration
  • no active flow engine

When flow engine of a process is changed from a standby to an active mode, all preceding configurations that are queued by hardware should become effective immediately. Before mode transition, all the traffic handling configurations set by the active flow engine should be flushed first.

In summary, the operations are expected to happen in this order in "old" and "new" applications: device: already configured by the old application new: start as active new: probe the same device new: set as standby new: configure the device device: has configurations from old and new applications old: clear its device configuration device: has only 1 configuration from new application new: set as active device: downtime for connecting all to the new application old: shutdown

Parameters
modeThe desired mode mlx5_flow_engine_mode.
flagsMode specific flags.
Returns
Positive value on success, -rte_errno value on error:
  • (> 0) Number of switched devices.
  • (-EINVAL) if error happen and rollback internally.
  • (-EPERM) if operation failed and can't recover.
