Typedef Documentation
typedef uint64_t(* rte_swx_table_footprint_get_t) (struct rte_swx_table_params *params, struct rte_swx_table_entry_list *entries, const char *args)
Table memory footprint get
- Parameters
params Table create parameters.
entries Table entries.
args Any additional table create arguments. It may be NULL.- Returns
Table memory footprint in bytes, if successful, or zero, on error.
Definition at line 133 of file rte_swx_table.h.
typedef uint64_t(* rte_swx_table_mailbox_size_get_t) (void)
Table mailbox size get
The mailbox is used to store the context of a lookup operation that is in progress and it is passed as a parameter to the lookup operation. This allows for multiple concurrent lookup operations into the same table.
- Returns
Table memory footprint in bytes, on success, or zero, on error.
Definition at line 148 of file rte_swx_table.h.
typedef void *(* rte_swx_table_create_t) (struct rte_swx_table_params *params, struct rte_swx_table_entry_list *entries, const char *args, int numa_node)
Table create
- Parameters
params Table creation parameters.
entries Entries to be added to the table at creation time.
args Any additional table create arguments. It may be NULL.
numa_node Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) node.- Returns
Table handle, on success, or NULL, on error.
Definition at line 165 of file rte_swx_table.h.
typedef int(* rte_swx_table_add_t) (void *table, struct rte_swx_table_entry *entry)
Table entry add
- Parameters
table Table handle.
entry Entry to be added to the table.
Returns
0 on success or the following error codes otherwise: -EINVAL: Invalid table handle, entry or entry field; -ENOSPC: Table full.
Definition at line 183 of file rte_swx_table.h.
typedef int(* rte_swx_table_delete_t) (void *table, struct rte_swx_table_entry *entry)
Table entry delete
- Parameters
table Table handle.
entry Entry to be deleted from the table. The entry action_id and action_data fields are ignored.
Returns
0 on success or the following error codes otherwise: -EINVAL: Invalid table handle, entry or entry field; -ENOSPC: Table full.

typedef int(* rte_swx_table_lookup_t) (void *table, void *mailbox, uint8_t **key, uint64_t *action_id, uint8_t **action_data, size_t *entry_id, int *hit)
Table lookup
The table lookup operation searches a given key in the table and upon its completion it returns an indication of whether the key is found in the table (lookup hit) or not (lookup miss). In case of lookup hit, the action_id and the action_data associated with the key are also returned.
Multiple invocations of this function may be required in order to complete a single table lookup operation for a given table and a given lookup key. The completion of the table lookup operation is flagged by a return value of 1; in case of a return value of 0, the function must be invoked again with exactly the same arguments.
The mailbox argument is used to store the context of an on-going table lookup operation. The mailbox mechanism allows for multiple concurrent table lookup operations into the same table.
The typical reason an implementation may choose to split the table lookup operation into multiple steps is to hide the latency of the inherent memory read operations: before a read operation with the source data likely not in the CPU cache, the source data prefetch is issued and the table lookup operation is postponed in favor of some other unrelated work, which the CPU executes in parallel with the source data being fetched into the CPU cache; later on, the table lookup operation is resumed, this time with the source data likely to be read from the CPU cache with no CPU pipeline stall, which significantly improves the table lookup performance.
The table entry consists of the action ID and the action data. Each table entry is unique, although different table entries can have identical content, i.e. same values for the action ID and the action data. The table entry ID is also returned by the table lookup operation. It can be used to index into an external array of resources such as counters, registers or meters to identify the resource directly associated with the current table entry with no need to store the corresponding index into the table entry. The index of the external resource is thus auto-generated instead of being stored in the table entry.
- Parameters
table Table handle.
mailbox Mailbox for the current table lookup operation.
key Lookup key. Its size mult be equal to the table key_size. If the latter is zero, then the lookup key must be NULL.
action_id ID of the action associated with the key. Must point to a valid 64-bit variable. Only valid when the function returns 1 and hit is set to true.
action_data Action data for the action_id action. Must point to a valid array of table action_data_size bytes. Only valid when the function returns 1 and hit is set to true.
entry_id Table entry unique ID. Must point to a valid 32-bit variable. Only valid when the function returns 1 and hit is set to true.
hit Only valid when the function returns 1. Set to non-zero (true) on table lookup hit and to zero (false) on table lookup miss.
Returns
0 when the table lookup operation is not yet completed, and 1 when the table lookup operation is completed. No other return values are allowed.
