Detailed Description

RTE Ring

The Ring Manager is a fixed-size queue, implemented as a table of pointers. Head and tail pointers are modified atomically, allowing concurrent access to it. It has the following features:

Note: the ring implementation is not preemptible. Refer to Programmer's guide/Environment Abstraction Layer/Multiple pthread/Known Issues/rte_ring for more information.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ RTE_RING_NAMESIZE

#define RTE_RING_NAMESIZE
Value:
sizeof(RTE_RING_MZ_PREFIX) + 1)
#define RTE_MEMZONE_NAMESIZE
Definition: rte_memzone.h:51

The maximum length of a ring name.

Examples
examples/quota_watermark/qw/init.c.

Definition at line 61 of file rte_ring.h.

◆ RING_F_SP_ENQ

#define RING_F_SP_ENQ   0x0001

◆ RING_F_SC_DEQ

#define RING_F_SC_DEQ   0x0002

◆ RING_F_EXACT_SZ

#define RING_F_EXACT_SZ   0x0004

Ring is to hold exactly requested number of entries. Without this flag set, the ring size requested must be a power of 2, and the usable space will be that size - 1. With the flag, the requested size will be rounded up to the next power of two, but the usable space will be exactly that requested. Worst case, if a power-of-2 size is requested, half the ring space will be wasted.

Definition at line 116 of file rte_ring.h.

◆ RTE_RING_SZ_MASK

#define RTE_RING_SZ_MASK   (0x7fffffffU)

Ring size mask

Function Documentation

◆ rte_ring_get_memsize()

ssize_t rte_ring_get_memsize ( unsigned  count)

Calculate the memory size needed for a ring

This function returns the number of bytes needed for a ring, given the number of elements in it. This value is the sum of the size of the structure rte_ring and the size of the memory needed by the objects pointers. The value is aligned to a cache line size.

Parameters
countThe number of elements in the ring (must be a power of 2).
Returns
  • The memory size needed for the ring on success.
  • -EINVAL if count is not a power of 2.

◆ rte_ring_init()

int rte_ring_init ( struct rte_ring r,
const char *  name,
unsigned  count,
unsigned  flags 
)

Initialize a ring structure.

Initialize a ring structure in memory pointed by "r". The size of the memory area must be large enough to store the ring structure and the object table. It is advised to use rte_ring_get_memsize() to get the appropriate size.

The ring size is set to count, which must be a power of two. Water marking is disabled by default. The real usable ring size is count-1 instead of count to differentiate a free ring from an empty ring.

The ring is not added in RTE_TAILQ_RING global list. Indeed, the memory given by the caller may not be shareable among dpdk processes.

Parameters
rThe pointer to the ring structure followed by the objects table.
nameThe name of the ring.
countThe number of elements in the ring (must be a power of 2).
flagsAn OR of the following:
Returns
0 on success, or a negative value on error.

◆ rte_ring_create()

struct rte_ring* rte_ring_create ( const char *  name,
unsigned  count,
int  socket_id,
unsigned  flags 
)

Create a new ring named name in memory.

This function uses memzone_reserve() to allocate memory. Then it calls rte_ring_init() to initialize an empty ring.

The new ring size is set to count, which must be a power of two. Water marking is disabled by default. The real usable ring size is count-1 instead of count to differentiate a free ring from an empty ring.

The ring is added in RTE_TAILQ_RING list.

Parameters
nameThe name of the ring.
countThe size of the ring (must be a power of 2).
socket_idThe socket_id argument is the socket identifier in case of NUMA. The value can be SOCKET_ID_ANY if there is no NUMA constraint for the reserved zone.
flagsAn OR of the following:
Returns
On success, the pointer to the new allocated ring. NULL on error with rte_errno set appropriately. Possible errno values include:
  • E_RTE_NO_CONFIG - function could not get pointer to rte_config structure
  • E_RTE_SECONDARY - function was called from a secondary process instance
  • EINVAL - count provided is not a power of 2
  • ENOSPC - the maximum number of memzones has already been allocated
  • EEXIST - a memzone with the same name already exists
  • ENOMEM - no appropriate memory area found in which to create memzone
