Detailed Description

RTE Spinlocks

This file defines an API for read-write locks, which are implemented in an architecture-specific way. This kind of lock simply waits in a loop repeatedly checking until the lock becomes available.

All locks must be initialised before use, and only initialised once.

Definition in file rte_spinlock.h.

Function Documentation

static void rte_spinlock_init ( rte_spinlock_t *  sl )

inlinestatic

Initialize the spinlock to an unlocked state.

Parameters

sl	A pointer to the spinlock.

Examples:

examples/bond/main.c, examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/main.c, examples/l2fwd-jobstats/main.c, examples/l3fwd-power/main.c, examples/netmap_compat/lib/compat_netmap.c, examples/vm_power_manager/channel_manager.c, and examples/vm_power_manager/power_manager.c.

Definition at line 46 of file rte_spinlock.h.

static void rte_spinlock_lock ( rte_spinlock_t *  sl )

inlinestatic

Take the spinlock.

Parameters

sl	A pointer to the spinlock.

Examples:

examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/main.c, examples/l2fwd-jobstats/main.c, examples/l3fwd-power/main.c, examples/l3fwd-vf/main.c, examples/netmap_compat/lib/compat_netmap.c, examples/vm_power_manager/channel_manager.c, and examples/vm_power_manager/power_manager.c.

static void rte_spinlock_unlock ( rte_spinlock_t *  sl )

inlinestatic

Release the spinlock.

Parameters

sl	A pointer to the spinlock.

Examples:

examples/bond/main.c, examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/main.c, examples/l2fwd-jobstats/main.c, examples/l3fwd-power/main.c, examples/l3fwd-vf/main.c, examples/netmap_compat/lib/compat_netmap.c, examples/vm_power_manager/channel_manager.c, and examples/vm_power_manager/power_manager.c.

static int rte_spinlock_trylock ( rte_spinlock_t *  sl )

inlinestatic

Try to take the lock.

Parameters

sl	A pointer to the spinlock.

Returns

1 if the lock is successfully taken; 0 otherwise.

Examples:

examples/bond/main.c, and examples/ethtool/ethtool-app/main.c.

static int rte_spinlock_is_locked ( rte_spinlock_t *  sl )

inlinestatic

Test if the lock is taken.

Parameters

sl	A pointer to the spinlock.

Returns

1 if the lock is currently taken; 0 otherwise.

Definition at line 122 of file rte_spinlock.h.

static int rte_tm_supported ( void  )

inlinestatic

Test if hardware transactional memory (lock elision) is supported

Returns

1 if the hardware transactional memory is supported; 0 otherwise.

static void rte_spinlock_lock_tm ( rte_spinlock_t *  sl )

inlinestatic

Try to execute critical section in a hardware memory transaction, if it fails or not available take the spinlock.

NOTE: An attempt to perform a HW I/O operation inside a hardware memory transaction always aborts the transaction since the CPU is not able to roll-back should the transaction fail. Therefore, hardware transactional locks are not advised to be used around rte_eth_rx_burst() and rte_eth_tx_burst() calls.

Parameters

sl	A pointer to the spinlock.

static void rte_spinlock_unlock_tm ( rte_spinlock_t *  sl )

inlinestatic

Commit hardware memory transaction or release the spinlock if the spinlock is used as a fall-back

Parameters

sl	A pointer to the spinlock.

static int rte_spinlock_trylock_tm ( rte_spinlock_t *  sl )

inlinestatic

Try to execute critical section in a hardware memory transaction, if it fails or not available try to take the lock.

NOTE: An attempt to perform a HW I/O operation inside a hardware memory transaction always aborts the transaction since the CPU is not able to roll-back should the transaction fail. Therefore, hardware transactional locks are not advised to be used around rte_eth_rx_burst() and rte_eth_tx_burst() calls.

Parameters

sl	A pointer to the spinlock.

Returns

1 if the hardware memory transaction is successfully started or lock is successfully taken; 0 otherwise.

static void rte_spinlock_recursive_init ( rte_spinlock_recursive_t *  slr )

inlinestatic

Initialize the recursive spinlock to an unlocked state.

Parameters

slr	A pointer to the recursive spinlock.

Definition at line 200 of file rte_spinlock.h.

static void rte_spinlock_recursive_lock ( rte_spinlock_recursive_t *  slr )

inlinestatic

Take the recursive spinlock.

Parameters

slr	A pointer to the recursive spinlock.

Definition at line 213 of file rte_spinlock.h.

static void rte_spinlock_recursive_unlock ( rte_spinlock_recursive_t *  slr )

inlinestatic

Try to execute critical section in a hardware memory transaction, if it fails or not available take the recursive spinlocks

NOTE: An attempt to perform a HW I/O operation inside a hardware memory transaction always aborts the transaction since the CPU is not able to roll-back should the transaction fail.
