Field Documentation

◆ new_device

int(* new_device) (int vid)

Add device.

Examples:: examples/vdpa/main.c, examples/vhost/main.c, examples/vhost_blk/vhost_blk.c, and examples/vhost_crypto/main.c.

Definition at line 278 of file rte_vhost.h.

◆ destroy_device

void(* destroy_device) (int vid)

Remove device.

Examples:: examples/vdpa/main.c, examples/vhost/main.c, examples/vhost_blk/vhost_blk.c, and examples/vhost_crypto/main.c.

Definition at line 279 of file rte_vhost.h.

◆ vring_state_changed

int(* vring_state_changed) (int vid, uint16_t queue_id, int enable)

triggered when a vring is enabled or disabled

Examples:: examples/vhost/main.c.

Definition at line 281 of file rte_vhost.h.

◆ features_changed

int(* features_changed) (int vid, uint64_t features)

Features could be changed after the feature negotiation. For example, VHOST_F_LOG_ALL will be set/cleared at the start/end of live migration, respectively. This callback is used to inform the application on such change.

Definition at line 289 of file rte_vhost.h.

◆ guest_notified

void(* guest_notified) (int vid)

This callback gets called each time a guest gets notified about waiting packets. This is the interrupt handling through the eventfd_write(callfd), which can be used for counting these "slow" syscalls.

Definition at line 300 of file rte_vhost.h.

◆ guest_notify

bool(* guest_notify) (int vid, uint16_t queue_id)

If this callback is registered, notification to the guest can be handled by the front-end calling rte_vhost_notify_guest(). If it's not handled, 'false' should be returned. This can be used to remove the "slow" eventfd_write() syscall from the datapath.
