Function Documentation

int rte_epoll_wait ( int  epfd,
struct rte_epoll_event events,
int  maxevents,
int  timeout 
)

It waits for events on the epoll instance.

Parameters
epfdEpoll instance fd on which the caller wait for events.
eventsMemory area contains the events that will be available for the caller.
maxeventsUp to maxevents are returned, must greater than zero.
timeoutSpecifying a timeout of -1 causes a block indefinitely. Specifying a timeout equal to zero cause to return immediately.
Returns
  • On success, returns the number of available event.
  • On failure, a negative value.
Examples:
examples/l3fwd-power/main.c.
int rte_epoll_ctl ( int  epfd,
int  op,
int  fd,
struct rte_epoll_event event 
)

It performs control operations on epoll instance referred by the epfd. It requests that the operation op be performed for the target fd.

Parameters
epfdEpoll instance fd on which the caller perform control operations.
opThe operation be performed for the target fd.
fdThe target fd on which the control ops perform.
eventDescribes the object linked to the fd. Note: The caller must take care the object deletion after CTL_DEL.
Returns
  • On success, zero.
  • On failure, a negative value.
int rte_intr_tls_epfd ( void  )

The function returns the per thread epoll instance.

Returns
epfd the epoll instance referred to.
int rte_intr_rx_ctl ( struct rte_intr_handle intr_handle,
int  epfd,
int  op,
unsigned int  vec,
void *  data 
)
Parameters
intr_handlePointer to the interrupt handle.
epfdEpoll instance fd which the intr vector associated to.
opThe operation be performed for the vector. Operation type of {ADD, DEL}.
vecRX intr vector number added to the epoll instance wait list.
dataUser raw data.
Returns
  • On success, zero.
  • On failure, a negative value.
void rte_intr_free_epoll_fd ( struct rte_intr_handle intr_handle)

It deletes registered eventfds.

Parameters
intr_handlePointer to the interrupt handle.
int rte_intr_efd_enable ( struct rte_intr_handle intr_handle,
uint32_t  nb_efd 
)

It enables the packet I/O interrupt event if it's necessary. It creates event fd for each interrupt vector when MSIX is used, otherwise it multiplexes a single event fd.

Parameters
intr_handlePointer to the interrupt handle.
nb_efdNumber of interrupt vector trying to enable. The value 0 is not allowed.
Returns
  • On success, zero.
  • On failure, a negative value.
void rte_intr_efd_disable ( struct rte_intr_handle intr_handle)

It disables the packet I/O interrupt event. It deletes registered eventfds and closes the open fds.

Parameters
intr_handlePointer to the interrupt handle.
int rte_intr_dp_is_en ( struct rte_intr_handle intr_handle)

The packet I/O interrupt on datapath is enabled or not.

Parameters
intr_handlePointer to the interrupt handle.
int rte_intr_allow_others ( struct rte_intr_handle intr_handle)

The interrupt handle instance allows other causes or not. Other causes stand for any none packet I/O interrupts.

Parameters
intr_handlePointer to the interrupt handle.
int rte_intr_cap_multiple ( struct rte_intr_handle intr_handle)

The multiple interrupt vector capability of interrupt handle instance. It returns zero if no multiple interrupt vector support.

Parameters
intr_handlePointer to the interrupt handle.
