Detailed Description

RTE PMD Driver Registration Interface

This file manages the list of device drivers.

Definition in file rte_dev.h.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define RTE_PMD_REGISTER_KMOD_DEP	(		name,
			str
	)

Value:

static const char DRV_EXP_TAG(name, kmod_dep_export)[] \
__attribute__((used)) = str

Advertise the list of kernel modules required to run this driver

This string lists the kernel modules required for the devices associated to a PMD. The format of each line of the string is: "<device-pattern> <kmod-expression>".

The possible formats for the device pattern are: "*" all devices supported by this driver "pci:*" all PCI devices supported by this driver "pci:v8086:d*:sv*:sd*" all PCI devices supported by this driver whose vendor id is 0x8086.

The format of the kernel modules list is a parenthesed expression containing logical-and (&) and logical-or (|).

The device pattern and the kmod expression are separated by a space.

Example:

• "* igb_uio | uio_pci_generic | vfio"

Function Documentation

int rte_vdev_init	(	const char *	name,
		const char *	args
	)

Initialize a driver specified by name.

Parameters

name	The pointer to a driver name to be initialized.
args	The pointer to arguments used by driver initialization.

Returns

0 on success, negative on error

int rte_vdev_uninit

(

const char *

name

)

Uninitalize a driver specified by name.

Parameters

name	The pointer to a driver name to be initialized.

Returns

0 on success, negative on error

int rte_eal_dev_attach	(	const char *	name,
		const char *	devargs
	)

Attach a device to a registered driver.

Parameters

name	The device name, that refers to a pci device (or some private way of designating a vdev device). Based on this device name, eal will identify a driver capable of handling it and pass it to the driver probing function.
devargs	Device arguments to be passed to the driver.

Returns

0 on success, negative on error.

int rte_eal_dev_detach

(

const char *

name

)

Detach a device from its driver.

Parameters

name	Same description as for rte_eal_dev_attach(). Here, eal will call the driver detaching function.

Returns

0 on success, negative on error.
