◆ rte_vhost_vring_stats_get_names()

int rte_vhost_vring_stats_get_names ( int  vid,
uint16_t  queue_id,
struct rte_vhost_stat_name name,
unsigned int  size 
)

Retrieve names of statistics of a Vhost virtqueue.

There is an assumption that 'stat_names' and 'stats' arrays are matched by array index: stats_names[i].name => stats[i].value

Parameters
vidvhost device ID
queue_idvhost queue index
namearray of at least size elements to be filled. If set to NULL, the function returns the required number of elements.
sizeThe number of elements in stats_names array.
Returns
  • Success if greater than 0 and lower or equal to size. The return value indicates the number of elements filled in the names array.
  • Failure if greater than size. The return value indicates the number of elements the names array that should be given to succeed.
  • Failure if lower than 0. The device ID or queue ID is invalid or
  • statistics collection is not enabled.

◆ rte_vhost_vring_stats_get()

int rte_vhost_vring_stats_get ( int  vid,
uint16_t  queue_id,
struct rte_vhost_stat stats,
unsigned int  n 
)

Retrieve statistics of a Vhost virtqueue.

There is an assumption that 'stat_names' and 'stats' arrays are matched by array index: stats_names[i].name => stats[i].value

Parameters
vidvhost device ID
queue_idvhost queue index
statsA pointer to a table of structure of type rte_vhost_stat to be filled with virtqueue statistics ids and values.
nThe number of elements in stats array.
Returns
  • Success if greater than 0 and lower or equal to n. The return value indicates the number of elements filled in the stats array.
  • Failure if greater than n. The return value indicates the number of elements the stats array that should be given to succeed.
  • Failure if lower than 0. The device ID or queue ID is invalid, or statistics collection is not enabled.

◆ rte_vhost_vring_stats_reset()

int rte_vhost_vring_stats_reset ( int  vid,
uint16_t  queue_id 
)

Reset statistics of a Vhost virtqueue.

Parameters
