Function Documentation

void* rte_gro_ctx_create (const struct rte_gro_param * param)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

This function create a GRO context object, which is used to merge packets in rte_gro_reassemble().

Parameters

param applications use it to pass needed parameters to create a GRO context object.

Returns

if create successfully, return a pointer which points to the GRO context object. Otherwise, return NULL.

void rte_gro_ctx_destroy (void * ctx)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

This function destroys a GRO context object.

Parameters

ctx pointer points to a GRO context object.

uint16_t rte_gro_reassemble_burst (struct rte_mbuf ** pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts, const struct rte_gro_param * param)

This is one of the main reassembly APIs, which merges numbers of packets at a time. It doesn't check if input packets have correct checksums and doesn't re-calculate checksums for merged packets. It assumes the packets are complete (i.e., MF==0 && frag_off==0), when IP fragmentation is possible (i.e., DF==0). The GROed packets are returned as soon as the function finishes.

Parameters

pkts Pointer array pointing to the packets to reassemble. Besides, it keeps MBUF addresses for the GROed packets.
nb_pkts The number of packets to reassemble
param Application-determined parameters for reassembling packets.

Returns

The number of packets after been GROed. If no packets are merged, the return value is equals to nb_pkts.

uint16_t rte_gro_reassemble (struct rte_mbuf ** pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts, void * ctx)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Reassembly function, which tries to merge input packets with the existed packets in the reassembly tables of a given GRO context. It doesn't check if input packets have correct checksums and doesn't re-calculate checksums for merged packets. Additionally, it assumes the packets are complete (i.e., MF==0 && frag_off==0), when IP fragmentation is possible (i.e., DF==0).

If the input packets have invalid parameters (e.g. no data payload, unsupported GRO types), they are returned to applications. Otherwise, they are either merged or inserted into the table. Applications need to flush packets from the tables by flush API, if they want to get the GROed packets.

Parameters

pkts Packets to reassemble. It's also used to store the unprocessed packets.
nb_pkts The number of packets to reassemble
ctx GRO context object pointer

Returns

The number of unprocessed packets.

uint16_t rte_gro_timeout_flush (void * ctx, uint64_t timeout_cycles, uint64_t gro_types, struct rte_mbuf ** out, uint16_t max_nb_out)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

This function flushes the timeout packets from the reassembly tables of desired GRO types. The max number of flushed packets is the element number of 'out'.

Additionally, the flushed packets may have incorrect checksums, since this function doesn't re-calculate checksums for merged packets.

Parameters

ctx GRO context object pointer.
timeout_cycles The max TTL for packets in reassembly tables, measured in nanosecond.
gro_types This function flushes packets whose GRO types are specified by gro_types.
out Pointer array used to keep flushed packets.
max_nb_out The element number of 'out'. It's also the max number of timeout packets that can be flushed finally.

Returns

The number of flushed packets.

uint64_t rte_gro_get_pkt_count (void * ctx)

Warning

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

This function returns the number of packets in all reassembly tables of a given GRO context.

Parameters

ctx GRO context object pointer.

Returns

The number of packets in the tables.
