Detailed Description

RTE Ethernet Device PMD API

These APIs for the use from Ethernet drivers, user applications shouldn't use them.

Function Documentation

rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve()

const struct rte_memzone* rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve	(	const struct rte_eth_dev *	eth_dev,
		const char *	name,
		uint16_t	queue_id,
		size_t	size,
		unsigned	align,
		int	socket_id
	)

Create memzone for HW rings. malloc can't be used as the physical address is needed. If the memzone is already created, then this function returns a ptr to the old one.

Parameters

eth_dev	The eth_dev pointer is the address of the rte_eth_dev structure
name	The name of the memory zone
queue_id	The index of the queue to add to name
size	The sizeof of the memory area
align	Alignment for resulting memzone. Must be a power of 2.
socket_id	The socket_id argument is the socket identifier in case of NUMA.

rte_eth_switch_domain_alloc()

int __rte_experimental rte_eth_switch_domain_alloc

(

uint16_t *

domain_id

)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

Allocate an unique switch domain identifier.

A pool of switch domain identifiers which can be allocated on request. This will enabled devices which support the concept of switch domains to request a switch domain id which is guaranteed to be unique from other devices running in the same process.

Parameters

domain_id

switch domain identifier parameter to pass back to application

Returns

Negative errno value on error, 0 on success.

rte_eth_switch_domain_free()

int __rte_experimental rte_eth_switch_domain_free

(

uint16_t

domain_id

)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

Free switch domain.

Return a switch domain identifier to the pool of free identifiers after it is no longer in use by device.

Parameters

domain_id

switch domain identifier to free

Returns

Negative errno value on error, 0 on success.

rte_eth_devargs_parse()

int __rte_experimental rte_eth_devargs_parse	(	const char *	devargs,
		struct rte_eth_devargs *	eth_devargs
	)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

PMD helper function to parse ethdev arguments

Parameters

devargs	device arguments
eth_devargs	parsed ethdev specific arguments.

Returns

Negative errno value on error, 0 on success.

rte_eth_dev_create()

int __rte_experimental rte_eth_dev_create	(	struct rte_device *	device,
		const char *	name,
		size_t	priv_data_size,
		ethdev_bus_specific_init	bus_specific_init,
		void *	bus_init_params,
		ethdev_init_t	ethdev_init,
		void *	init_params
	)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

PMD helper function for the creation of a new ethdev ports.

Parameters

device	rte_device handle.
name	port name.
priv_data_size	size of private data required for port.
bus_specific_init	port bus specific initialisation callback function
bus_init_params	port bus specific initialisation parameters
ethdev_init	device specific port initialization callback function
init_params	port initialisation parameters

Returns

Negative errno value on error, 0 on success.

rte_eth_dev_destroy()

int __rte_experimental rte_eth_dev_destroy	(	struct rte_eth_dev *	ethdev,
		ethdev_uninit_t	ethdev_uninit
	)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

PMD helper function for cleaning up the resources of a ethdev port on it's destruction.

Parameters

ethdev	ethdev handle of port.
ethdev_uninit	device specific port un-initialise callback function

Returns

Negative errno value on error, 0 on success.
