Detailed Description

DPDK device class interface.

This file describes the interface of the device class abstraction layer.

A device class defines the type of function a device will be used for e.g.: Ethernet adapter (eth), cryptographic co-processor (crypto), etc.

Macro Definition Documentation

RTE_REGISTER_CLASS

#define RTE_REGISTER_CLASS	(		nm,
			cls
	)

Value:

RTE_INIT_PRIO(classinitfn_ ##nm, CLASS) \
{\
    (cls).name = RTE_STR(nm); \
    rte_class_register(&cls); \
}

Helper for Class registration. The constructor has lower priority than Bus constructors. The constructor has higher priority than PMD constructors.

Typedef Documentation

rte_class_cmp_t

typedef int(* rte_class_cmp_t) (const struct rte_class *cls, const void *data)

Class comparison function.

Parameters

cls	Class under test.
data	Data to compare against.

Returns

0 if the class matches the data. !0 if the class does not match. <0 if ordering is possible and the class is lower than the data. >0 if ordering is possible and the class is greater than the data.

Function Documentation

RTE_TAILQ_HEAD()

RTE_TAILQ_HEAD	(	rte_class_list	,
		rte_class
	)

Double linked list of classes

rte_class_find()

__rte_experimental struct rte_class * rte_class_find	(	const struct rte_class *	start,
		rte_class_cmp_t	cmp,
		const void *	data
	)

Class iterator to find a particular class.

This function compares each registered class to find one that matches the data passed as parameter.

If the comparison function returns zero this function will stop iterating over any more classes. To continue a search the class of a previous search can be passed via the start parameter.

Parameters

start	Starting point for the iteration.
cmp	Comparison function.
data	Data to pass to comparison function.

Returns

A pointer to a rte_class structure or NULL in case no class matches

rte_class_find_by_name()

__rte_experimental struct rte_class * rte_class_find_by_name

(

const char *

name

)

Find the registered class for a given name.

rte_class_register()

__rte_experimental void rte_class_register

(

struct rte_class *

cls

)

Register a Class handle.

Parameters

cls	A pointer to a rte_class structure describing the class to be registered.

rte_class_unregister()

__rte_experimental void rte_class_unregister

(

struct rte_class *

cls

)

Unregister a Class handle.

Parameters

cls	A pointer to a rte_class structure describing the class to be unregistered.
