Detailed Description

RTE generic flow API

This interface provides the ability to program packet matching and associated actions in hardware through flow rules.

Definition in file rte_flow.h.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_VALID

#define RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_VALID   RTE_BIT32(0)

The packet is valid after conntrack checking.

Definition at line 1955 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_CHANGED

#define RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_CHANGED   RTE_BIT32(1)

The state of the connection is changed.

Definition at line 1959 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_INVALID

#define RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_INVALID   RTE_BIT32(2)

Error is detected on this packet for this connection and an invalid state is set.

Definition at line 1964 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_DISABLED

#define RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_DISABLED   RTE_BIT32(3)

The HW connection tracking module is disabled. It can be due to application command or an invalid state.

Definition at line 1969 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_BAD

#define RTE_FLOW_CONNTRACK_PKT_STATE_BAD   RTE_BIT32(4)

The packet contains some bad field(s) and cannot continue with the conntrack module checking.

Definition at line 1974 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_RESTORE_INFO_TUNNEL

#define RTE_FLOW_RESTORE_INFO_TUNNEL   RTE_BIT64(0)

Indicate that the packet has a tunnel.

Definition at line 5218 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_RESTORE_INFO_ENCAPSULATED

#define RTE_FLOW_RESTORE_INFO_ENCAPSULATED   RTE_BIT64(1)

Indicate that the packet has a non decapsulated tunnel header.

Definition at line 5223 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_RESTORE_INFO_GROUP_ID

#define RTE_FLOW_RESTORE_INFO_GROUP_ID   RTE_BIT64(2)

Indicate that the packet has a group_id.

Definition at line 5228 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_PORT_FLAG_STRICT_QUEUE

#define RTE_FLOW_PORT_FLAG_STRICT_QUEUE   RTE_BIT32(0)

Indicate all operations for a given flow rule will strictly happen on the same queue (create/destroy/query/update).

Definition at line 5473 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_PORT_FLAG_SHARE_INDIRECT

#define RTE_FLOW_PORT_FLAG_SHARE_INDIRECT   RTE_BIT32(1)

Indicate all steering objects should be created on contexts of the host port, providing indirect object sharing between ports.

Definition at line 5480 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_TABLE_SPECIALIZE_TRANSFER_WIRE_ORIG

#define RTE_FLOW_TABLE_SPECIALIZE_TRANSFER_WIRE_ORIG   RTE_BIT32(0)

Specialize table for transfer flows which come only from wire. It allows PMD not to allocate resources for non-wire originated traffic. This bit is not a matching criteria, just an optimization hint. Flow rules which match non-wire originated traffic will be missed if the hint is supported.

Definition at line 5871 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_TABLE_SPECIALIZE_TRANSFER_VPORT_ORIG

#define RTE_FLOW_TABLE_SPECIALIZE_TRANSFER_VPORT_ORIG   RTE_BIT32(1)

Specialize table for transfer flows which come only from vport (e.g. VF, SF). It allows PMD not to allocate resources for non-vport originated traffic. This bit is not a matching criteria, just an optimization hint. Flow rules which match non-vport originated traffic will be missed if the hint is supported.

Definition at line 5879 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ RTE_FLOW_TABLE_SPECIALIZE_RESIZABLE

#define RTE_FLOW_TABLE_SPECIALIZE_RESIZABLE   RTE_BIT32(2)

Specialize table for resize.

Definition at line 5883 of file rte_flow.h.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ rte_flow_item_type

Matching pattern item types.

Pattern items fall in two categories:

  • Matching protocol headers and packet data, usually associated with a specification structure. These must be stacked in the same order as the protocol layers to match inside packets, starting from the lowest.
  • Matching meta-data or affecting pattern processing, often without a specification structure. Since they do not match packet contents, their position in the list is usually not relevant.

See the description of individual types for more information. Those marked with [META] fall into the second category.

◆ rte_flow_action_type

Action types.

Each possible action is represented by a type. An action can have an associated configuration object. Several actions combined in a list can be assigned to a flow rule and are performed in order.

They fall in three categories:

  • Actions that modify the fate of matching traffic, for instance by dropping or assigning it a specific destination.
  • Actions that modify matching traffic contents or its properties. This includes adding/removing encapsulation, encryption, compression and marks.
  • Actions related to the flow rule itself, such as updating counters or making it non-terminating.

Flow rules being terminating by default, not specifying any action of the fate kind results in undefined behavior. This applies to both ingress and egress.

PASSTHRU, when supported, makes a flow rule non-terminating.

Enumerator
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_END 

End marker for action lists. Prevents further processing of actions, thereby ending the list.

Definition at line 4581 of file rte_flow.h.

◆ rte_flow_dynf_metadata_register()

__rte_experimental int rte_flow_dynf_metadata_register ( void  )

Register mbuf dynamic field and flag for metadata.

This function must be called prior to use SET_META action in order to register the dynamic mbuf field. Otherwise, the data cannot be delivered to application.

Returns
0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set.

◆ rte_flow_validate()

int rte_flow_validate ( uint16_t  port_id,
const struct rte_flow_attr attr,
const struct rte_flow_item  pattern[],
const struct rte_flow_action  actions[],
struct rte_flow_error error 
)

Check whether a flow rule can be created on a given port.

The flow rule is validated for correctness and whether it could be accepted by the device given sufficient resources. The rule is checked against the current device mode and queue configuration. The flow rule may also optionally be validated against existing flow rules and device resources. This function has no effect on the target device.

The returned value is guaranteed to remain valid only as long as no successful calls to rte_flow_create() or rte_flow_destroy() are made in the meantime and no device parameter affecting flow rules in any way are modified, due to possible collisions or resource limitations (although in such cases EINVAL should not be returned).

Parameters
port_idPort identifier of Ethernet device.
[in]attrFlow rule attributes.
[in]patternPattern specification (list terminated by the END pattern item).
[in]actionsAssociated actions (list terminated by the END action).
[out]errorPerform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize this structure in case of error only.
Returns
0 if flow rule is valid and can be created. A negative errno value otherwise (rte_errno is also set), the following errors are defined:

-ENOSYS: underlying device does not support this functionality.

-EIO: underlying device is removed.

-EINVAL: unknown or invalid rule specification.

-ENOTSUP: valid but unsupported rule specification (e.g. partial bit-masks are unsupported).

-EEXIST: collision with an existing rule. Only returned if device supports flow rule collision checking and there was a flow rule collision. Not receiving this return code is no guarantee that creating the rule will not fail due to a collision.

-ENOMEM: not enough memory to execute the function, or if the device supports resource validation, resource limitation on the device.

-EBUSY: action cannot be performed due to busy device resources, may succeed if the affected queues or even the entire port are in a stopped state (see rte_eth_dev_rx_queue_stop() and rte_eth_dev_stop()).

Examples:
examples/flow_filtering/flow_blocks.c, examples/ipsec-secgw/flow.c, examples/ipsec-secgw/ipsec-secgw.c, examples/ipsec-secgw/ipsec.c, and examples/l2fwd-macsec/main.c.

◆ rte_flow_destroy()

int rte_flow_destroy ( uint16_t  port_id,
struct rte_flow *  flow,
struct rte_flow_error error 
)

Destroy a flow rule on a given port.

Failure to destroy a flow rule handle may occur when other flow rules depend on it, and destroying it would result in an inconsistent state.

This function is only guaranteed to succeed if handles are destroyed in reverse order of their creation.

Parameters
port_idPort identifier of Ethernet device.
flowFlow rule handle to destroy.
[out]errorPerform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize this structure in case of error only.
Returns
0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set.

Parameters
port_idPort identifier of Ethernet device.
[out]errorPerform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize this structure in case of error only.
Returns
0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set.

int rte_flow_query ( uint16_t  port_id,
struct rte_flow *  flow,
const struct rte_flow_action action,
void *  data,
struct rte_flow_error error 
)

Query an existing flow rule.

This function allows retrieving flow-specific data such as counters. Data is gathered by special actions which must be present in the flow rule definition.

See also
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_COUNT
Parameters
port_idPort identifier of Ethernet device.
flowFlow rule handle to query.

◆ rte_flow_isolate()

int rte_flow_isolate ( uint16_t  port_id,
int  set,
struct rte_flow_error error 
)

Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules.

Isolated mode guarantees that all ingress traffic comes from defined flow rules only (current and future). When enabled with a bifurcated driver, non-matched packets are routed to the kernel driver interface. When disabled (the default), there may be some default rules routing traffic to the DPDK port.

Besides making ingress more deterministic, it allows PMDs to safely reuse resources otherwise assigned to handle the remaining traffic, such as global RSS configuration settings, VLAN filters, MAC address entries, legacy filter API rules and so on in order to expand the set of possible flow rule types.

Calling this function as soon as possible after device initialization, ideally before the first call to rte_eth_dev_configure(), is recommended to avoid possible failures due to conflicting settings.

Once effective, leaving isolated mode may not be possible depending on PMD implementation.

Additionally, the following functionality has no effect on the underlying port and may return errors such as ENOTSUP ("not supported"):

  • Toggling promiscuous mode.
  • Toggling allmulticast mode.
  • Configuring MAC addresses.
  • Configuring multicast addresses.
  • Configuring VLAN filters.
  • Configuring Rx filters through the legacy API (e.g. FDIR).
  • Configuring global RSS settings.
Parameters
port_idPort identifier of Ethernet device.
setNonzero to enter isolated mode, attempt to leave it otherwise.
[out]errorPerform verbose error reporting if not NULL. PMDs initialize this structure in case of error only.
Returns
0 on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set.

◆ rte_flow_error_set()

int rte_flow_error_set ( struct rte_flow_error error,
int  code,
enum rte_flow_error_type  type,
const void *  cause,
const char *  message 
)

Initialize flow error structure.

Parameters
[out]errorPointer to flow error structure (may be NULL).
codeRelated error code (rte_errno).
typeCause field and error types.
causeObject responsible for the error.
messageHuman-readable error message.
Returns
Negative error code (errno value) and rte_errno is set.

◆ rte_flow_copy()

__rte_deprecated size_t rte_flow_copy ( struct rte_flow_desc fd,
size_t  len,
const struct rte_flow_attr attr,
const struct rte_flow_item items,
const struct rte_flow_action actions 
)
Deprecated:
Copy an rte_flow rule description.

This interface is kept for compatibility with older applications but is implemented as a wrapper to rte_flow_conv(). It is deprecated due to its lack of flexibility and reliance on a type unusable with C++ programs (struct rte_flow_desc).

Parameters
[in]fdFlow rule description.
[in]lenTotal size of allocated data for the flow description.
[in]attrFlow rule attributes.
[in]itemsPattern specification (list terminated by the END pattern item).
[in]actionsAssociated actions (list terminated by the END action).
Returns
If len is greater or equal to the size of the flow, the total size of the flow description and its data. If len is lower than the size of the flow, the number of bytes that would have been written to desc had it been sufficient. Nothing is written.

◆ rte_flow_conv()

__rte_experimental int rte_flow_conv ( enum rte_flow_conv_op  op,
void *  dst,
size_t  size,
const void *  src,
struct rte_flow_error error 
)

Flow object conversion helper.

This function performs conversion of various flow API objects to a pre-allocated destination buffer. See enum rte_flow_conv_op for possible operations and details about each of them.

Since destination buffer must be large enough, it works in a manner reminiscent of snprintf():

  • If size is 0, dst may be a NULL pointer, otherwise dst must be non-NULL.
  • If positive, the returned value represents the number of bytes needed to store the conversion of src to dst according to op regardless of the size parameter.
  • Since no more than size bytes can be written to dst, output is truncated and may be inconsistent when the returned value is larger than that.
  • In case of conversion error, a negative error code is returned and dst contents are unspecified.
Parameters
opOperation to perform, related to the object type of dst.
[out]dstDestination buffer address. Must be suitably aligned by the caller.
sizeDestination buffer size in bytes.
[in]srcSource object to copy. Depending on op, its type may differ from that of dst.
[out]errorPerform verbose error reporting if not NULL. Initialized in case of error only.
Returns
The number of bytes required to convert src to dst on success, a negative errno value otherwise and rte_errno is set.

void **  contexts,
uint32_t  nb_contexts,
struct rte_flow_error error 
)

Get aged-out flows of a given port.

RTE_ETH_EVENT_FLOW_AGED event will be triggered when at least one new aged out flow was detected after the last call to rte_flow_get_aged_flows. This function can be called to get the aged flows asynchronously from the event callback or synchronously regardless the event. This is not safe to call rte_flow_get_aged_flows function with other flow functions from multiple threads simultaneously.

Parameters
port_idPort identifier of Ethernet device.
[in,out]contextsThe address of an array of pointers to the aged-out flows contexts.
[in]nb_contextsThe length of context array pointers.
