MLX5_HOST_SHAPER_FLAG_AVAIL_THRESH_TRIGGERED

#define MLX5_HOST_SHAPER_FLAG_AVAIL_THRESH_TRIGGERED   0

The rate of the host port shaper will be updated directly at the next available descriptor threshold event to the rate that comes with this flag set; set rate 0 to disable this rate update. Unset this flag to update the rate of the host port shaper directly in the API call; use rate 0 to disable the current shaper.

Definition at line 126 of file rte_pmd_mlx5.h.

MLX5_FLOW_ENGINE_FLAG_STANDBY_DUP_INGRESS

#define MLX5_FLOW_ENGINE_FLAG_STANDBY_DUP_INGRESS   RTE_BIT32(0)

When set on the flow engine of a standby process, ingress flow rules will be effective in active and standby processes, so the ingress traffic may be duplicated.

Function Documentation

rte_pmd_mlx5_get_dyn_flag_names()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_get_dyn_flag_names	(	char *	names[],
		unsigned int	n
	)

Returns the dynamic flags name, that are supported.

Parameters

[out]	names	Array that is used to return the supported dynamic flags names.
[in]	n	The number of elements in the names array.

Returns

The number of dynamic flags that were copied if not negative. Otherwise:

• ENOMEM - not enough entries in the array
• EINVAL - invalid array entry

rte_pmd_mlx5_sync_flow()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_sync_flow	(	uint16_t	port_id,
		uint32_t	domains
	)

Synchronize the flows to make them take effort on hardware. It only supports DR flows now. For DV and Verbs flows, there is no need to call this function, and a success will return directly in case of Verbs.

Parameters

[in]	port_id	The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]	domains	Refer to "/usr/include/infiniband/mlx5dv.h". Bitmask of domains in which the synchronization will be done. MLX5_DOMAIN_BIT* macros are used to specify the domains. An ADD or OR operation could be used to synchronize flows in more than one domain per call.

Returns

• (0) if successful.
• Negative value if an error.

rte_pmd_mlx5_external_rx_queue_id_map()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_external_rx_queue_id_map	(	uint16_t	port_id,
		uint16_t	dpdk_idx,
		uint32_t	hw_idx
	)

Update mapping between rte_flow queue index (16 bits) and HW queue index (32 bits) for RxQs which is created outside the PMD.

Parameters

[in]	port_id	The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]	dpdk_idx	Queue index in rte_flow.
[in]	hw_idx	Queue index in hardware.

Returns

0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set. Possible values for rte_errno:

• EEXIST - a mapping with the same rte_flow index already exists.
• EINVAL - invalid rte_flow index, out of range.
• ENODEV - there is no Ethernet device for this port id.
• ENOTSUP - the port doesn't support external RxQ.

rte_pmd_mlx5_external_rx_queue_id_unmap()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_external_rx_queue_id_unmap	(	uint16_t	port_id,
		uint16_t	dpdk_idx
	)

Remove mapping between rte_flow queue index (16 bits) and HW queue index (32 bits) for RxQs which is created outside the PMD.

Parameters

[in]	port_id	The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]	dpdk_idx	Queue index in rte_flow.

Returns

0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set. Possible values for rte_errno:

• EINVAL - invalid index, out of range, still referenced or doesn't exist.
• ENODEV - there is no Ethernet device for this port id.
• ENOTSUP - the port doesn't support external RxQ.

rte_pmd_mlx5_host_shaper_config()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_host_shaper_config	(	int	port_id,
		uint8_t	rate,
		uint32_t	flags
	)

Configure a HW shaper to limit Tx rate for a host port. The configuration will affect all the ethdev ports belonging to the same rte_device.

Parameters

[in]	port_id	The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]	rate	Unit is 100Mbps, setting the rate to 0 disables the shaper.
[in]	flags	Host shaper flags.

Returns

0 : operation success. Otherwise:

• ENOENT - no ibdev interface.
• EBUSY - the register access unit is busy.
• EIO - the register access command meets IO error.

rte_pmd_mlx5_external_sq_enable()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_external_sq_enable	(	uint16_t	port_id,
		uint32_t	sq_num
	)

Enable traffic for external SQ.

Parameters

[in]	port_id	The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
[in]	sq_num	SQ HW number.

Returns

0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set. Possible values for rte_errno:

• EINVAL - invalid sq_number or port type.
• ENODEV - there is no Ethernet device for this port id.

rte_pmd_mlx5_flow_engine_set_mode()

__rte_experimental int rte_pmd_mlx5_flow_engine_set_mode	(	enum mlx5_flow_engine_mode	mode,
		uint32_t	flags
	)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Set the flow engine mode of the process to active or standby, affecting network traffic handling.

If one device does not support this operation or fails, the whole operation is failed and rolled back.

It is forbidden to have multiple flow engines with the same mode unless only one of them is configured to handle the traffic.

The application's flow engine is active by default. The configuration from the active flow engine is effective immediately while the configuration from the standby flow engine is queued by hardware. When configuring the device from a standby flow engine, it has no effect except for below situations:

• traffic not handled by the active flow engine configuration
• no active flow engine

When flow engine of a process is changed from a standby to an active mode, all preceding configurations that are queued by hardware should become effective immediately. Before mode transition, all the traffic handling configurations set by the active flow engine should be flushed first.

In summary, the operations are expected to happen in this order in "old" and "new" applications: device: already configured by the old application new: start as active new: probe the same device new: set as standby new: configure the device device: has configurations from old and new applications old: clear its device configuration device: has only 1 configuration from new application new: set as active device: downtime for connecting all to the new application old: shutdown

Parameters

mode	The desired mode mlx5_flow_engine_mode.
flags	Mode specific flags.

Returns

Positive value on success, -rte_errno value on error:

• (> 0) Number of switched devices.
• (-EINVAL) if error happen and rollback internally.
• (-EPERM) if operation failed and can't recover.
