Detailed Description

RTE Pipeline Input Port Actions

This API provides a common set of actions for pipeline input ports to speed up application development.

Each pipeline input port can be assigned an action handler to be executed on every input packet during the pipeline execution. The pipeline library allows the user to define his own input port actions by providing customized input port action handler. While the user can still follow this process, this API is intended to provide a quicker development alternative for a set of predefined actions.

The typical steps to use this API are:

• Define an input port action profile. This is a configuration template that can potentially be shared by multiple input ports from the same or different pipelines, with different input ports from the same pipeline able to use different action profiles. For every input port using a given action profile, the profile defines the set of actions and the action configuration to be executed by the input port. API functions: rte_port_in_action_profile_create(), rte_port_in_action_profile_action_register(), rte_port_in_action_profile_freeze().
• Instantiate the input port action profile to create input port action objects. Each pipeline input port has its own action object. API functions: rte_port_in_action_create().
• Use the input port action object to generate the input port action handler invoked by the pipeline. API functions: rte_port_in_action_params_get().
• Use the input port action object to generate the internal data structures used by the input port action handler based on given action parameters. API functions: rte_port_in_action_apply().

Function Documentation

rte_port_in_action_profile_create()

__rte_experimental struct rte_port_in_action_profile * rte_port_in_action_profile_create

(

uint32_t

socket_id

)

Input port action profile create.

Parameters

[in]

socket_id

CPU socket ID for the internal data structures memory allocation.

Returns

Input port action profile handle on success, NULL otherwise.

Examples

examples/ip_pipeline/action.c.

rte_port_in_action_profile_free()

__rte_experimental int rte_port_in_action_profile_free

(

struct rte_port_in_action_profile *

profile

)

Input port action profile free.

Parameters

[in]

profile

Input port action profile handle (needs to be valid). If profile is NULL, no operation is performed.

Returns

Always zero.

Examples

examples/ip_pipeline/action.c.

rte_port_in_action_profile_action_register()

__rte_experimental int rte_port_in_action_profile_action_register	(	struct rte_port_in_action_profile *	profile,
		enum rte_port_in_action_type	type,
		void *	action_config
	)

Input port action profile action register.

Parameters

[in]	profile	Input port action profile handle (needs to be valid and not in frozen state).
[in]	type	Specific input port action to be registered for profile.
[in]	action_config	Configuration for the type action. If struct rte_port_in_action_*type*_config is defined, it needs to point to a valid instance of this structure, otherwise it needs to be set to NULL.

Returns

Zero on success, non-zero error code otherwise.

Examples

examples/ip_pipeline/action.c.

rte_port_in_action_profile_freeze()

__rte_experimental int rte_port_in_action_profile_freeze

(

struct rte_port_in_action_profile *

profile

)

Input port action profile freeze.

Once this function is called successfully, the given profile enters the frozen state with the following immediate effects: no more actions can be registered for this profile, so the profile can be instantiated to create input port action objects.

Parameters

[in]

profile

Input port profile action handle (needs to be valid and not in frozen state).

Returns

Zero on success, non-zero error code otherwise.

rte_port_in_action_create()

__rte_experimental struct rte_port_in_action * rte_port_in_action_create	(	struct rte_port_in_action_profile *	profile,
		uint32_t	socket_id
	)

Input port action create.

Instantiates the given input port action profile to create an input port action object.

Parameters

[in]	profile	Input port profile action handle (needs to be valid and in frozen state).
[in]	socket_id	CPU socket ID where the internal data structures required by the new input port action object should be allocated.

Returns

Handle to input port action object on success, NULL on error.

Examples

examples/ip_pipeline/pipeline.c.

rte_port_in_action_free()

__rte_experimental int rte_port_in_action_free

(

struct rte_port_in_action *

action

)

Input port action free.

Parameters

[in]

action

Handle to input port action object (needs to be valid). If action is NULL, no operation is performed.

Returns

Always zero.

__rte_experimental int rte_port_in_action_params_get	(	struct rte_port_in_action *	action,
		struct rte_pipeline_port_in_params *	params
	)

Input port params get.

Parameters

[in]	action	Handle to input port action object (needs to be valid).
[in,out]	params	Pipeline input port parameters (needs to be pre-allocated).

Returns

Zero on success, non-zero error code otherwise.

		enum rte_port_in_action_type	type,
		void *	action_params
	)

Input port action apply.

Parameters

[in]	action	Handle to input port action object (needs to be valid).
[in]	type	Specific input port action previously registered for the input port action profile of the action object.
[in]	action_params	Parameters for the type action. If struct rte_port_in_action_*type*_params is defined, it needs to point to a valid instance of this structure, otherwise it needs to be set to NULL.
