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 parenthesized 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"

Typedef Documentation

typedef int(* rte_dev_cmp_t) (const struct rte_device *dev, const void *data)

Device comparison function.

This type of function is used to compare an rte_device with arbitrary data.

Parameters

dev	Device handle.
data	Data to compare against. The type of this parameter is determined by the kind of comparison performed by the function.

Returns

0 if the device matches the data. !0 if the device does not match. <0 if ordering is possible and the device is lower than the data. >0 if ordering is possible and the device is greater than the data.

Definition at line 253 of file rte_dev.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

enum rte_kernel_driver

Device driver.

Definition at line 123 of file rte_dev.h.

enum rte_dev_policy

Device policies.

Definition at line 135 of file rte_dev.h.

Function Documentation

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

(

struct rte_device *

dev

)

Detach a device from its driver.

Parameters

dev	A pointer to a rte_device structure.

Returns

0 on success, negative on error.

int rte_eal_hotplug_add	(	const char *	busname,
		const char *	devname,
		const char *	devargs
	)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Hotplug add a given device to a specific bus.

Parameters

busname	The bus name the device is added to.
devname	The device name. 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_hotplug_remove	(	const char *	busname,
		const char *	devname
	)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Hotplug remove a given device from a specific bus.

Parameters

busname	The bus name the device is removed from.
devname	The device name being removed.

Returns

0 on success, negative on error.
