Detailed Description

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

RTE BPF support. librte_bpf provides a framework to load and execute eBPF bytecode inside user-space dpdk based applications. It supports basic set of features from eBPF spec (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/filter.txt).

Function Documentation

rte_bpf_destroy()

void __rte_experimental rte_bpf_destroy

(

struct rte_bpf *

bpf

)

De-allocate all memory used by this eBPF execution context.

Parameters

bpf	BPF handle to destroy.

rte_bpf_load()

struct rte_bpf* __rte_experimental rte_bpf_load

(

const struct rte_bpf_prm *

prm

)

Create a new eBPF execution context and load given BPF code into it.

Parameters

prm	Parameters used to create and initialise the BPF execution context.

Returns

BPF handle that is used in future BPF operations, or NULL on error, with error code set in rte_errno. Possible rte_errno errors include:

• EINVAL - invalid parameter passed to function
• ENOMEM - can't reserve enough memory

rte_bpf_elf_load()

struct rte_bpf* __rte_experimental rte_bpf_elf_load	(	const struct rte_bpf_prm *	prm,
		const char *	fname,
		const char *	sname
	)

Create a new eBPF execution context and load BPF code from given ELF file into it. Note that if the function will encounter EBPF_PSEUDO_CALL instruction that references external symbol, it will treat is as standard BPF_CALL to the external helper function.

Parameters

prm	Parameters used to create and initialise the BPF execution context.
fname	Pathname for a ELF file.
sname	Name of the executable section within the file to load.

Returns

BPF handle that is used in future BPF operations, or NULL on error, with error code set in rte_errno. Possible rte_errno errors include:

• EINVAL - invalid parameter passed to function
• ENOMEM - can't reserve enough memory

rte_bpf_exec()

uint64_t __rte_experimental rte_bpf_exec	(	const struct rte_bpf *	bpf,
		void *	ctx
	)

Execute given BPF bytecode.

Parameters

bpf	handle for the BPF code to execute.
ctx	pointer to input context.

Returns

BPF execution return value.

rte_bpf_exec_burst()

uint32_t __rte_experimental rte_bpf_exec_burst	(	const struct rte_bpf *	bpf,
		void *	ctx[],
		uint64_t	rc[],
		uint32_t	num
	)

Execute given BPF bytecode over a set of input contexts.

Parameters

bpf	handle for the BPF code to execute.
ctx	array of pointers to the input contexts.
rc	array of return values (one per input).
num	number of elements in ctx[] (and rc[]).

Returns

number of successfully processed inputs.

rte_bpf_get_jit()

int __rte_experimental rte_bpf_get_jit	(	const struct rte_bpf *	bpf,
		struct rte_bpf_jit *	jit
	)

Provide information about natively compiled code for given BPF handle.

Parameters

bpf	handle for the BPF code.
jit	pointer to the rte_bpf_jit structure to be filled with related data.

Returns

• -EINVAL if the parameters are invalid.
• Zero if operation completed successfully.
