Parameters

h	Hash table to free

void rte_hash_reset ( struct rte_hash * h )

Reset all hash structure, by zeroing all entries. When RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_RW_CONCURRENCY_LF is enabled, it is application's responsibility to make sure that none of the readers are referencing the hash table while calling this API.

Parameters

h	Hash table to reset

int32_t rte_hash_count ( const struct rte_hash * h )

Return the number of keys in the hash table

Parameters

h	Hash table to query from

Returns

-EINVAL if parameters are invalid
A value indicating how many keys were inserted in the table.

	)

Add a key-value pair to an existing hash table. This operation is not multi-thread safe and should only be called from one thread by default. Thread safety can be enabled by setting flag during table creation. If the key exists already in the table, this API updates its value with 'data' passed in this API. It is the responsibility of the application to manage any memory associated with the old value. The readers might still be using the old value even after this API has returned.

Parameters

h	Hash table to add the key to.
key	Key to add to the hash table.
data	Data to add to the hash table.

Returns

0 if added successfully
-EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
-ENOSPC if there is no space in the hash for this key.

Examples:: examples/ipsec-secgw/ipsec-secgw.c.

int32_t rte_hash_add_key_with_hash_data	(	const struct rte_hash *	h,
		const void *	key,
		hash_sig_t	sig,
		void *	data
	)

Add a key-value pair with a pre-computed hash value to an existing hash table. This operation is not multi-thread safe and should only be called from one thread by default. Thread safety can be enabled by setting flag during table creation. If the key exists already in the table, this API updates its value with 'data' passed in this API. It is the responsibility of the application to manage any memory associated with the old value. The readers might still be using the old value even after this API has returned.

Parameters

h	Hash table to add the key to.
key	Key to add to the hash table.
sig	Precomputed hash value for 'key'
data	Data to add to the hash table.

Returns

0 if added successfully

key	Key to add to the hash table.

Returns

-EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
-ENOSPC if there is no space in the hash for this key.

int32_t rte_hash_del_key	(	const struct rte_hash *	h,
		const void *	key
	)

Thread safety can be enabled by setting flag during table creation. If RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_NO_FREE_ON_DEL or RTE_HASH_EXTRA_FLAGS_RW_CONCURRENCY_LF is enabled, the key index returned by rte_hash_add_key_xxx APIs will not be freed by this API. rte_hash_free_key_with_position API must be called additionally to free the index associated with the key. rte_hash_free_key_with_position API should be called after all the readers have stopped referencing the entry corresponding to this key. RCU mechanisms could be used to determine such a state.

Parameters

key	Key to remove from the hash table.

Returns

-EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
-ENOENT if the key is not found.
