Function Documentation

struct rte_acl_ctx* rte_acl_create ( const struct rte_acl_param * param )

read

Create a new ACL context.

Parameters

param Parameters used to create and initialise the ACL context.

Returns

Pointer to ACL context structure that is used in future ACL operations, or NULL on error, with error code set in rte_errno. Possible rte_errno errors include:

EINVAL - invalid parameter passed to function

Examples:: examples/ipsec-secgw/sp4.c, examples/ipsec-secgw/sp6.c, and examples/l3fwd-acl/main.c.

struct rte_acl_ctx* rte_acl_find_existing ( const char * name )

read

Find an existing ACL context object and return a pointer to it.

Parameters

name	Name of the ACL context as passed to rte_acl_create()

Returns

Pointer to ACL context or NULL if object not found with rte_errno set appropriately. Possible rte_errno values include:

ENOENT - value not available for return

void rte_acl_free ( struct rte_acl_ctx * ctx )

De-allocate all memory used by ACL context.

Parameters

ctx	ACL context to free

int rte_acl_add_rules	(	struct rte_acl_ctx *	ctx,
		const struct rte_acl_rule *	rules,
		uint32_t	num
	)

Add rules to an existing ACL context. This function is not multi-thread safe.

Parameters

ctx	ACL context to add patterns to.
rules	Array of rules to add to the ACL context. Note that all fields in rte_acl_rule structures are expected to be in host byte order. Each rule expected to be in the same format and not exceed size specified at ACL context creation time.
num	Number of elements in the input array of rules.

Returns

-ENOMEM if there is no space in the ACL context for these rules.
-EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
Zero if operation completed successfully.

Examples:: examples/ipsec-secgw/sp4.c, examples/ipsec-secgw/sp6.c, and examples/l3fwd-acl/main.c.

void rte_acl_reset_rules ( struct rte_acl_ctx * ctx )

Delete all rules from the ACL context. This function is not multi-thread safe. Note that internal run-time structures are not affected.

Parameters

ctx	ACL context to delete rules from.

int rte_acl_build	(	struct rte_acl_ctx *	ctx,
		const struct rte_acl_config *	cfg
	)

Analyze set of rules and build required internal run-time structures. This function is not multi-thread safe.

Parameters

ctx	ACL context to build.
cfg	Pointer to struct rte_acl_config - defines build parameters.

Returns

-ENOMEM if couldn't allocate enough memory.
-EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
Negative error code if operation failed.
Zero if operation completed successfully.

Examples:: examples/ipsec-secgw/sp4.c, examples/ipsec-secgw/sp6.c, and examples/l3fwd-acl/main.c.

void rte_acl_reset ( struct rte_acl_ctx * ctx )

Delete all rules from the ACL context and destroy all internal run-time structures. This function is not multi-thread safe.

Parameters

ctx	ACL context to reset.

int rte_acl_classify	(	const struct rte_acl_ctx *	ctx,
		const uint8_t **	data,
		uint32_t *	results,
		uint32_t	num,
		uint32_t	categories
	)

Perform search for a matching ACL rule for each input data buffer. Each input data buffer can have up to categories matches. That implies that results array should be big enough to hold (categories * num) elements. Also categories parameter should be either one or multiple of RTE_ACL_RESULTS_MULTIPLIER and can't be bigger than RTE_ACL_MAX_CATEGORIES. If more than one rule is applicable for given input buffer and given category, then rule with highest priority will be returned as a match. Note, that it is a caller's responsibility to ensure that input parameters are valid and point to correct memory locations.

Parameters

ctx	ACL context to search with.
data	Array of pointers to input data buffers to perform search. Note that all fields in input data buffers supposed to be in network byte order (MSB).
results	Array of search results, categories results per each input data buffer.
num	Number of elements in the input data buffers array.
categories	Number of maximum possible matches for each input buffer, one possible match per category.

Returns: zero on successful completion. -EINVAL for incorrect arguments.

Examples:: examples/ipsec-secgw/ipsec-secgw.c, and examples/l3fwd-acl/main.c.

int rte_acl_classify_alg	(	const struct rte_acl_ctx *	ctx,
		const uint8_t **	data,
		uint32_t *	results,
		uint32_t	num,
		uint32_t	categories,
		enum rte_acl_classify_alg	alg
	)

Perform search using specified algorithm for a matching ACL rule for each input data buffer. Each input data buffer can have up to categories matches. That implies that results array should be big enough to hold (categories * num) elements. Also categories parameter should be either one or multiple of RTE_ACL_RESULTS_MULTIPLIER and can't be bigger than RTE_ACL_MAX_CATEGORIES. If more than one rule is applicable for given input buffer and given category, then rule with highest priority will be returned as a match. Note, that it is a caller's responsibility to ensure that input parameters are valid and point to correct memory locations.

Parameters

ctx	ACL context to search with.
data	Array of pointers to input data buffers to perform search. Note that all fields in input data buffers supposed to be in network byte order (MSB).
results	Array of search results, categories results per each input data buffer.
num	Number of elements in the input data buffers array.
categories	Number of maximum possible matches for each input buffer, one possible match per category.
alg	Algorithm to be used for the search. It is the caller responsibility to ensure that the value refers to the existing algorithm, and that it could be run on the given CPU.

Returns: zero on successful completion. -EINVAL for incorrect arguments.

void rte_acl_dump ( const struct rte_acl_ctx * ctx )

Dump an ACL context structure to the console.

Parameters

ctx	ACL context to dump.

Examples:: examples/ipsec-secgw/sp4.c, examples/ipsec-secgw/sp6.c, and examples/l3fwd-acl/main.c.

void rte_acl_list_dump ( void )

Dump all ACL context structures to the console.
