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:

  • FIFO (First In First Out)
  • Maximum size is fixed; the pointers are stored in a table.
  • Lockless implementation.
  • Multi- or single-consumer dequeue.
  • Multi- or single-producer enqueue.
  • Bulk dequeue.
  • Bulk enqueue.
  • Ability to select different sync modes for producer/consumer.
  • Dequeue start/finish (depending on consumer sync modes).
  • Enqueue start/finish (depending on producer sync mode).

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

Function Documentation

ssize_t rte_ring_get_memsize (unsigned int 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:

count The 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.

int rte_ring_init (struct rte_ring * r, const char * name, unsigned int count, unsigned int 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. The real usable ring size is count-1 instead of count to differentiate a full 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:

r The pointer to the ring structure followed by the objects table.
name The name of the ring.
count The number of elements in the ring (must be a power of 2, unless RING_F_EXACT_SZ is set in flags).
flags An OR of the following:
•
One of mutually exclusive flags that define producer behavior:
•
RING_F_SP_ENQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_enqueue() or rte_ring_enqueue_bulk() is 'single-producer'.
•
RING_F_MP_RTS_ENQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_enqueue() or rte_ring_enqueue_bulk() is 'multi-producer RTS mode'.
•
RING_F_MP_HTS_ENQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_enqueue() or rte_ring_enqueue_bulk() is 'multi-producer HTS mode'. If none of these flags is set, then default 'multi-producer' behavior is selected.
•
One of mutually exclusive flags that define consumer behavior:
•
RING_F_SC_DEQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_dequeue() or rte_ring_dequeue_bulk() is 'single-consumer'. Otherwise, it is 'multi-consumers'.
•
RING_F_MC_RTS_DEQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_dequeue() or rte_ring_dequeue_bulk() is 'multi-consumer RTS mode'.
•
RING_F_MC_HTS_DEQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_dequeue() or rte_ring_dequeue_bulk() is 'multi-consumer HTS mode'. If none of these flags is set, then default 'multi-consumer' behavior is selected.
•
RING_F_EXACT_SZ: If this flag is set, the ring will hold exactly the requested number of entries, and 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. Without this flag set, the ring size requested must be a power of 2, and the usable space will be that size - 1.

Returns:

0 on success, or a negative value on error.

struct rte_ring* rte_ring_create (const char * name, unsigned int count, int socket_id, unsigned int 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. The real usable ring size is count-1 instead of count to differentiate a full ring from an empty ring.

The ring is added in RTE_TAILQ_RING list.

Parameters:

name The name of the ring.
count The size of the ring (must be a power of 2, unless RING_F_EXACT_SZ is set in flags).
socket_id The 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.
flags An OR of the following:
•
One of mutually exclusive flags that define producer behavior:
•
RING_F_SP_ENQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_enqueue() or rte_ring_enqueue_bulk() is 'single-producer'.
•
RING_F_MP_RTS_ENQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_enqueue() or rte_ring_enqueue_bulk() is 'multi-producer RTS mode'.
•
RING_F_MP_HTS_ENQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_enqueue() or rte_ring_enqueue_bulk() is 'multi-producer HTS mode'. If none of these flags is set, then default 'multi-producer' behavior is selected.
•
One of mutually exclusive flags that define consumer behavior:
•
RING_F_SC_DEQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_dequeue() or rte_ring_dequeue_bulk() is 'single-consumer'. Otherwise, it is 'multi-consumers'.
•
RING_F_MC_RTS_DEQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_dequeue() or rte_ring_dequeue_bulk() is 'multi-consumer RTS mode'.
•
RING_F_MC_HTS_DEQ: If this flag is set, the default behavior when using rte_ring_dequeue() or rte_ring_dequeue_bulk() is 'multi-consumer HTS mode'. If none of these flags is set, then default 'multi-consumer' behavior is selected.
•
RING_F_EXACT_SZ: If this flag is set, the ring will hold exactly the requested number of entries, and 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. Without this flag set, the ring size requested must be a power of 2, and the usable space will be that size - 1.

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
  • 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
