Detailed Description

RTE Event Ethernet Rx Adapter

An eventdev-based packet processing application enqueues/dequeues mbufs to/from the event device. Packet flow from the ethernet device to the event device can be accomplished using either HW or SW mechanisms depending on the platform and the particular combination of ethernet and event devices. The event ethernet Rx adapter provides common APIs to configure the packet flow from the ethernet devices to event devices across both these transfer mechanisms.

The adapter uses a EAL service core function for SW based packet transfer and uses the eventdev PMD functions to configure HW based packet transfer between the ethernet device and the event device.

The ethernet Rx event adapter's functions are:

The application creates an ethernet to event adapter using rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_create_ext() or rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_create() functions. The adapter needs to know which ethernet rx queues to poll for mbufs as well as event device parameters such as the event queue identifier, event priority and scheduling type that the adapter should use when constructing events. The rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_add() function is provided for this purpose. The servicing weight parameter in the rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_conf is applicable when the Rx adapter uses a service core function and is intended to provide application control of the frequency of polling ethernet device receive queues, for example, the application may want to poll higher priority queues with a higher frequency but at the same time not starve lower priority queues completely. If this parameter is zero and the receive interrupt is enabled when configuring the device, the receive queue is interrupt driven; else, the queue is assigned a servicing weight of one.

The application can start/stop the adapter using the rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_start() and the rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_stop() functions. If the adapter uses a rte_service function, then the application is also required to assign a core to the service function and control the service core using the rte_service APIs. The rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_service_id_get() function can be used to retrieve the service function ID of the adapter in this case.

Note: Interrupt driven receive queues are currently unimplemented.

Typedef Documentation

typedef int(* rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_conf_cb)(uint8_t id, uint8_t dev_id, struct rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_conf *conf, void *arg)
Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Function type used for adapter configuration callback. The callback is used to fill in members of the struct rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_conf, this callback is invoked when creating a SW service for packet transfer from ethdev queues to the event device. The SW service is created within the rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_add() function if SW based packet transfers from ethdev queues to the event device are required.

Parameters
idAdapter identifier.
dev_idEvent device identifier.
[out]confStructure that needs to be populated by this callback.
argArgument to the callback. This is the same as the conf_arg passed to the rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_create_ext().

Create a new ethernet Rx event adapter with the specified identifier.

Parameters
idThe identifier of the ethernet Rx event adapter.
dev_idThe identifier of the device to configure.
conf_cbCallback function that fills in members of a struct rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_conf struct passed into it.
conf_argArgument that is passed to the conf_cb function.
Returns
  • 0: Success
  • <0: Error code on failure
int rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_create ( uint8_t  id,
uint8_t  dev_id,
struct rte_event_port_conf port_config 
)
Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Create a new ethernet Rx event adapter with the specified identifier. This function uses an internal configuration function that creates an event port. This default function reconfigures the event device with an additional event port and setups up the event port using the port_config parameter passed into this function. In case the application needs more control in configuration of the service, it should use the rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_create_ext() version.

Parameters
idThe identifier of the ethernet Rx event adapter.
dev_idThe identifier of the device to configure.
port_configArgument of type rte_event_port_conf that is passed to the conf_cb function.
Returns
  • 0: Success
  • <0: Error code on failure
Examples:
examples/eventdev_pipeline/pipeline_worker_generic.c, and examples/eventdev_pipeline/pipeline_worker_tx.c.
int rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_free ( uint8_t  id)
Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Free an event adapter

Parameters
idAdapter identifier.
Returns
  • 0: Success
  • <0: Error code on failure, If the adapter still has Rx queues added to it, the function returns -EBUSY.
int rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_add ( uint8_t  id,
uint8_t  eth_dev_id,
int32_t  rx_queue_id,
const struct rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_queue_conf conf 
)
Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Add receive queue to an event adapter. After a queue has been added to the event adapter, the result of the application calling rte_eth_rx_burst(eth_dev_id, rx_queue_id, ..) is undefined.

Parameters
idAdapter identifier.
eth_dev_idPort identifier of Ethernet device.
rx_queue_idEthernet device receive queue index. If rx_queue_id is -1, then all Rx queues configured for the device are added. If the ethdev Rx queues can only be connected to a single event queue then rx_queue_id is required to be -1.
See Also
RTE_EVENT_ETH_RX_ADAPTER_CAP_MULTI_EVENTQ
Parameters
confAdditional configuration structure of type rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_conf
Returns
  • 0: Success, Receive queue added correctly.
  • <0: Error code on failure.
  • (-EIO) device reconfiguration and restart error. The adapter reconfigures the event device with an additional port if it is required to use a service function for packet transfer from the ethernet device to the event device. If the device had been started before this call, this error code indicates an error in restart following an error in reconfiguration, i.e., a combination of the two error codes.

Delete receive queue from an event adapter.

Parameters
