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

epfd	Epoll instance fd on which the caller wait for events.
events	Memory area contains the events that will be available for the caller.
maxevents	Up to maxevents are returned, must greater than zero.
timeout	Specifying 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

epfd	Epoll instance fd on which the caller perform control operations.
op	The operation be performed for the target fd.
fd	The target fd on which the control ops perform.
event	Describes 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_handle	Pointer to the interrupt handle.
epfd	Epoll instance fd which the intr vector associated to.
op	The operation be performed for the vector. Operation type of {ADD, DEL}.
vec	RX intr vector number added to the epoll instance wait list.
data	User 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_handle

Pointer 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_handle	Pointer to the interrupt handle.
nb_efd	Number 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_handle

Pointer 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_handle

Pointer 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_handle

Pointer 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_handle

Pointer to the interrupt handle.
