Function Documentation

◆ rte_mbuf_set_platform_mempool_ops()

int rte_mbuf_set_platform_mempool_ops ( const char *  ops_name)

Set the platform supported pktmbuf HW mempool ops name

This function allow the HW to register the actively supported HW mempool ops_name. Only one HW mempool ops can be registered at any point of time.

Parameters
ops_name
Returns
  • On success, zero.
  • On failure, a negative value.

◆ rte_mbuf_platform_mempool_ops()

const char* rte_mbuf_platform_mempool_ops ( void  )

Get configured platform supported pktmbuf HW mempool ops name

This function returns the platform supported mempool ops name.

Returns
  • On success, platform pool ops name.
  • On failure, NULL.

◆ rte_mbuf_set_user_mempool_ops()

int rte_mbuf_set_user_mempool_ops ( const char *  ops_name)

Set the user preferred pktmbuf mempool ops name

This function can be used by the user to configure user preferred mempool ops name.

  • On failure, NULL.

◆ rte_mbuf_best_mempool_ops()

const char* rte_mbuf_best_mempool_ops ( void  )

Get the best mempool ops name for pktmbuf.

This function is used to determine the best options for mempool ops for pktmbuf allocations. Following are the priority order:

  1. User defined, 2. Platform HW supported, 3. Compile time configured. This function is also used by the rte_pktmbuf_pool_create to get the best mempool ops name.
Returns
returns preferred mbuf pool ops name
