Detailed Description

An RTE ring structure.

The producer and the consumer have a head and a tail index. The particularity of these index is that they are not between 0 and size(ring). These indexes are between 0 and 2^32, and we mask their value when we access the ring[] field. Thanks to this assumption, we can do subtractions between 2 index values in a modulo-32bit base: that's why the overflow of the indexes is not a problem.

Field Documentation

char name[RTE_MEMZONE_NAMESIZE]

Name of the ring.

Definition at line 158 of file rte_ring.h.

int flags

Flags supplied at creation.

Definition at line 159 of file rte_ring.h.

struct rte_memzone* memzone

Memzone, if any, containing the rte_ring

Definition at line 160 of file rte_ring.h.

void* ring [] __rte_cache_aligned

Memory space of ring starts here. not volatile so need to be careful about compiler re-ordering
