Detailed Description

RTE Mempool.

A memory pool is an allocator of fixed-size object. It is identified by its name, and uses a ring to store free objects. It provides some other optional services, like a per-core object cache, and an alignment helper to ensure that objects are padded to spread them equally on all RAM channels, ranks, and so on.

Objects owned by a mempool should never be added in another mempool. When an object is freed using rte_mempool_put() or equivalent, the object data is not modified; the user can save some meta-data in the object data and retrieve them when allocating a new object.

Note: the mempool implementation is not preemptible. An lcore must not be interrupted by another task that uses the same mempool (because it uses a ring which is not preemptible). Also, usual mempool functions like rte_mempool_get() or rte_mempool_put() are designed to be called from an EAL thread due to the internal per-lcore cache. Due to the lack of caching, rte_mempool_get() or rte_mempool_put() performance will suffer when called by unregistered non-EAL threads. Instead, unregistered non-EAL threads should call rte_mempool_generic_get() or rte_mempool_generic_put() with a user cache created with rte_mempool_cache_create().

Typedef Documentation

◆ rte_mempool_memchunk_free_cb_t

typedef void() rte_mempool_memchunk_free_cb_t(struct rte_mempool_memhdr *memhdr, void *opaque)

Callback used to free a memory chunk

Definition at line 179 of file rte_mempool.h.

◆ rte_mempool_alloc_t

typedef int(* rte_mempool_alloc_t) (struct rte_mempool *mp)

Prototype for implementation specific data provisioning function.

The function should provide the implementation specific memory for use by the other mempool ops functions in a given mempool ops struct. E.g. the default ops provides an instance of the rte_ring for this purpose. it will most likely point to a different type of data structure, and will be transparent to the application programmer. This function should set mp->pool_data.

Definition at line 435 of file rte_mempool.h.

◆ rte_mempool_free_t

typedef void(* rte_mempool_free_t) (struct rte_mempool *mp)

Free the opaque private data pointed to by mp->pool_data pointer.

typedef unsigned(* rte_mempool_get_count) (const struct rte_mempool *mp)

Return the number of available objects in the external pool.

Definition at line 469 of file rte_mempool.h.

◆ rte_mempool_calc_mem_size_t

typedef ssize_t(* rte_mempool_calc_mem_size_t) (const struct rte_mempool *mp, uint32_t obj_num, uint32_t pg_shift, size_t *min_chunk_size, size_t *align)

Calculate memory size required to store given number of objects.

If mempool objects are not required to be IOVA-contiguous (the flag RTE_MEMPOOL_F_NO_IOVA_CONTIG is set), min_chunk_size defines virtually contiguous chunk size. Otherwise, if mempool objects must be IOVA-contiguous (the flag RTE_MEMPOOL_F_NO_IOVA_CONTIG is clear), min_chunk_size defines IOVA-contiguous chunk size.

Parameters
[in]mpPointer to the memory pool.
[in]obj_numNumber of objects.
[in]pg_shiftLOG2 of the physical pages size. If set to 0, ignore page boundaries.
[out]min_chunk_sizeLocation for minimum size of the memory chunk which may be used to store memory pool objects.

typedef void() rte_mempool_populate_obj_cb_t(struct rte_mempool *mp, void *opaque, void *vaddr, rte_iova_t iova)

Function to be called for each populated object.

Parameters
[in]mpA pointer to the mempool structure.
[in]opaqueAn opaque pointer passed to iterator.
[in]vaddrObject virtual address.

Populate memory pool objects using provided memory chunk.

Populated objects should be enqueued to the pool, e.g. using rte_mempool_ops_enqueue_bulk().

If the given IO address is unknown (iova = RTE_BAD_IOVA), the chunk doesn't need to be physically contiguous (only virtually), and allocated objects may span two pages.

Parameters
[in]mpA pointer to the mempool structure.
[in]max_objsMaximum number of objects to be populated.
[in]vaddrThe virtual address of memory that should be used to store objects.
[in]iovaThe IO address
[in]lenThe length of memory in bytes.
[in]obj_cbCallback function to be executed for each populated object.
[in]obj_cb_argAn opaque pointer passed to the callback function.
Returns
The number of objects added on success. On error, no objects are populated and a negative errno is returned.

◆ rte_mempool_create()

struct rte_mempool* rte_mempool_create ( const char *  name,
unsigned  n,
unsigned  elt_size,
unsigned  cache_size,
unsigned  private_data_size,
rte_mempool_ctor_t mp_init,
void *  mp_init_arg,
rte_mempool_obj_cb_t obj_init,
void *  obj_init_arg,
int  socket_id,
unsigned  flags 
)

Create a new mempool named name in memory.

This function uses rte_memzone_reserve() to allocate memory. The pool contains n elements of elt_size. Its size is set to n.

Parameters
nameThe name of the mempool.
nThe number of elements in the mempool. The optimum size (in terms of memory usage) for a mempool is when n is a power of two minus one: n = (2^q - 1).
elt_sizeThe size of each element.
cache_sizeIf cache_size is non-zero, the rte_mempool library will try to limit the accesses to the common lockless pool, by maintaining a per-lcore object cache. This argument must be lower or equal to RTE_MEMPOOL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE and n / 1.5. It is advised to choose cache_size to have "n modulo cache_size == 0": if this is not the case, some elements will always stay in the pool and will never be used. The access to the per-lcore table is of course faster than the multi-producer/consumer pool. The cache can be disabled if the cache_size argument is set to 0; it can be useful to avoid losing objects in cache.
private_data_sizeThe size of the private data appended after the mempool structure. This is useful for storing some private data after the mempool structure, as is done for rte_mbuf_pool for example.
mp_initA function pointer that is called for initialization of the pool, before object initialization. The user can initialize the private data in this function if needed. This parameter can be NULL if not needed.
mp_init_argAn opaque pointer to data that can be used in the mempool constructor function.
obj_initA function pointer that is called for each object at initialization of the pool. The user can set some meta data in objects if needed. This parameter can be NULL if not needed. The obj_init() function takes the mempool pointer, the init_arg, the object pointer and the object number as parameters.
obj_init_argAn opaque pointer to data that can be used as an argument for each call to the object constructor function.
socket_idThe socket_id argument is the socket identifier in the case of NUMA. The value can be SOCKET_ID_ANY if there is no NUMA constraint for the reserved zone.
flagsThe flags arguments is an OR of following flags:
  • RTE_MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD: By default, objects addresses are spread between channels in RAM: the pool allocator will add padding between objects depending on the hardware configuration. See Memory alignment constraints for details. If this flag is set, the allocator will just align them to a cache line.
  • RTE_MEMPOOL_F_NO_CACHE_ALIGN: By default, the returned objects are cache-aligned. This flag removes this constraint, and no padding will be present between objects. This flag implies RTE_MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD.
  • RTE_MEMPOOL_F_SP_PUT: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_mempool_put() or rte_mempool_put_bulk() is "single-producer". Otherwise, it is "multi-producers".
  • RTE_MEMPOOL_F_SC_GET: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_mempool_get() or rte_mempool_get_bulk() is "single-consumer". Otherwise, it is "multi-consumers".
  • RTE_MEMPOOL_F_NO_IOVA_CONTIG: If set, allocated objects won't necessarily be contiguous in IO memory.
Returns
The pointer to the new allocated mempool, on success. NULL on error with rte_errno set appropriately. Possible rte_errno values include:
  • E_RTE_NO_CONFIG - function could not get pointer to rte_config structure
  • EINVAL - cache size provided is too large or an unknown flag was passed
  • ENOSPC - the maximum number of memzones has already been allocated
  • EEXIST - a memzone with the same name already exists
  • ENOMEM - no appropriate memory area found in which to create memzone

)

Create an empty mempool

The mempool is allocated and initialized, but it is not populated: no memory is allocated for the mempool elements. The user has to call rte_mempool_populate_*() to add memory chunks to the pool. Once populated, the user may also want to initialize each object with rte_mempool_obj_iter().

nameThe name of the mempool.
nThe maximum number of elements that can be added in the mempool. The optimum size (in terms of memory usage) for a mempool is when n is a power of two minus one: n = (2^q - 1).
elt_sizeThe size of each element.
cache_sizeSize of the cache. See rte_mempool_create() for details.
private_data_sizeThe size of the private data appended after the mempool structure. This is useful for storing some private data after the mempool structure, as is done for rte_mbuf_pool for example.
socket_idThe socket_id argument is the socket identifier in the case of NUMA. The value can be SOCKET_ID_ANY if there is no NUMA constraint for the reserved zone.
flagsFlags controlling the behavior of the mempool. See rte_mempool_create() for details.
Returns
The pointer to the new allocated mempool, on success. NULL on error with rte_errno set appropriately. See rte_mempool_create() for details.
