Detailed Description

RTE Event Device API

In a traditional DPDK application model, the application polls Ethdev port RX queues to look for work, and processing is done in a run-to-completion manner, after which the packets are transmitted on a Ethdev TX queue. Load is distributed by statically assigning ports and queues to lcores, and NIC receive-side scaling (RSS), or similar, is employed to distribute network flows (and thus work) on the same port across multiple RX queues.

In contrast, in an event-driven model, as supported by this "eventdev" library, incoming packets (or other input events) are fed into an event device, which schedules those packets across the available lcores, in accordance with its configuration. This event-driven programming model offers applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing, pipelining, packet order maintenance, synchronization, and prioritization/quality of service.

The Event Device API is composed of two parts:

•   The application-oriented Event API that includes functions to setup an event device (configure it, setup its queues, ports and start it), to establish the links between queues and ports to receive events, and so on.

•   The driver-oriented Event API that exports a function allowing an event poll Mode Driver (PMD) to register itself as an event device driver.

Event device: A hardware or software-based event scheduler.

Event: Represents an item of work and is the smallest unit of scheduling. An event carries metadata, such as queue ID, scheduling type, and event priority, and data such as one or more packets or other kinds of buffers. Some examples of events are:

•   a software-generated item of work originating from a lcore, perhaps carrying a packet to be processed.

•   a crypto work completion notification.

•   a timer expiry notification.

Event queue: A queue containing events that are to be scheduled by the event device. An event queue contains events of different flows associated with scheduling types, such as atomic, ordered, or parallel. Each event given to an event device must have a valid event queue id field in the metadata, to specify on which event queue in the device the event must be placed, for later scheduling.

Event port: An application's interface into the event dev for enqueue and dequeue operations. Each event port can be linked with one or more event queues for dequeue operations. Enqueue and dequeue from a port is not thread-safe, and the expected use-case is that each port is polled by only a single lcore. [If this is not the case, a suitable synchronization mechanism should be used to prevent simultaneous access from multiple lcores.] To schedule events to an lcore, the event device will schedule them to the event port(s) being polled by that lcore.

NOTE: By default, all the functions of the Event Device API exported by a PMD are non-thread-safe functions, which must not be invoked on the same object in parallel on different logical cores. For instance, the dequeue function of a PMD cannot be invoked in parallel on two logical cores to operate on same event port. Of course, this function can be invoked in parallel by different logical cores on different ports. It is the responsibility of the upper level application to enforce this rule.

In all functions of the Event API, the Event device is designated by an integer >= 0 named the device identifier dev_id

The functions exported by the application Event API to setup a device must be invoked in the following order:

•   rte_event_dev_configure()

•   rte_event_queue_setup()

•   rte_event_port_setup()

•   rte_event_port_link()

•   rte_event_dev_start()

Then, the application can invoke, in any order, the functions exported by the Event API to dequeue events, enqueue events, and link and unlink event queue(s) to event ports.

Before configuring a device, an application should call rte_event_dev_info_get() to determine the capabilities of the event device, and any queue or port limits of that device. The parameters set in the various device configuration structures may need to be adjusted based on the max values provided in the device information structure returned from the rte_event_dev_info_get() API. An application may use rte_event_queue_default_conf_get() or rte_event_port_default_conf_get() to get the default configuration to set up an event queue or event port by overriding few default values.

If the application wants to change the configuration (i.e. call rte_event_dev_configure(), rte_event_queue_setup(), or rte_event_port_setup()), it must call rte_event_dev_stop() first to stop the device and then do the reconfiguration before calling rte_event_dev_start() again. The schedule, enqueue and dequeue functions should not be invoked when the device is stopped.

Finally, an application can close an Event device by invoking the rte_event_dev_close() function. Once closed, a device cannot be reconfigured or restarted.

  Driver-Oriented Event API
At the Event driver level, Event devices are represented by a generic data structure of type rte_event_dev.

Event devices are dynamically registered during the PCI/SoC device probing phase performed at EAL initialization time. When an Event device is being probed, an rte_event_dev structure is allocated for it and the event_dev_init() function supplied by the Event driver is invoked to properly initialize the device.

The role of the device init function is to reset the device hardware or to initialize the software event driver implementation.

If the device init operation is successful, the device is assigned a device id (dev_id) for application use. Otherwise, the rte_event_dev structure is freed.

Each function of the application Event API invokes a specific function of the PMD that controls the target device designated by its device identifier.

For this purpose, all device-specific functions of an Event driver are supplied through a set of pointers contained in a generic structure of type event_dev_ops. The address of the event_dev_ops structure is stored in the rte_event_dev structure by the device init function of the Event driver, which is invoked during the PCI/SoC device probing phase, as explained earlier.

In other words, each function of the Event API simply retrieves the rte_event_dev structure associated with the device identifier and performs an indirect invocation of the corresponding driver function supplied in the event_dev_ops structure of the rte_event_dev structure.

For performance reasons, the addresses of the fast-path functions of the event driver are not contained in the event_dev_ops structure. Instead, they are directly stored at the beginning of the rte_event_dev structure to avoid an extra indirect memory access during their invocation.

  Event Enqueue, Dequeue and Scheduling
RTE event device drivers do not use interrupts for enqueue or dequeue operation. Instead, Event drivers export Poll-Mode enqueue and dequeue functions to applications.

The events are injected to event device through enqueue operation by event producers in the system. The typical event producers are ethdev subsystem for generating packet events, CPU(SW) for generating events based on different stages of application processing, cryptodev for generating crypto work completion notification etc

The dequeue operation gets one or more events from the event ports. The application processes the events and sends them to a downstream event queue through rte_event_enqueue_burst(), if it is an intermediate stage of event processing. On the final stage of processing, the application may use the Tx adapter API for maintaining the event ingress order while sending the packet/event on the wire via NIC Tx.

The point at which events are scheduled to ports depends on the device. For hardware devices, scheduling occurs asynchronously without any software intervention. Software schedulers can either be distributed (each worker thread schedules events to its own port) or centralized (a dedicated thread schedules to all ports). Distributed software schedulers perform the scheduling inside the enqueue or dequeue functions, whereas centralized software schedulers need a dedicated service core for scheduling. The absence of the RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_DISTRIBUTED_SCHED capability flag indicates that the device is centralized and thus needs a dedicated scheduling thread (generally an RTE service that should be mapped to one or more service cores) that repeatedly calls the software specific scheduling function.

An event driven worker thread has following typical workflow on fastpath:

while (1) {
   rte_event_dequeue_burst(...);
   (event processing)
   rte_event_enqueue_burst(...);
}

Macro Definition Documentation

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_QUEUE_QOS RTE_BIT32(0)
Event scheduling prioritization is based on the priority and weight associated with each event queue.

Events from a queue with highest priority are scheduled first. If the queues are of same priority, weight of the queues are considered to select a queue in a weighted round robin fashion. Subsequent dequeue calls from an event port could see events from the same event queue, if the queue is configured with an affinity count. Affinity count is the number of subsequent dequeue calls, in which an event port should use the same event queue if the queue is non-empty

NOTE: A device may use both queue prioritization and event prioritization (RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_EVENT_QOS capability) when making packet scheduling decisions.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_EVENT_QOS RTE_BIT32(1)
Event scheduling prioritization is based on the priority associated with each event.

Priority of each event is supplied in rte_event structure on each enqueue operation. If this capability is not set, the priority field of the event structure is ignored for each event.

NOTE: A device may use both queue prioritization (RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_QUEUE_QOS capability) and event prioritization when making packet scheduling decisions.

In distributed scheduling mode, event scheduling happens in HW or rte_event_dequeue_burst() / rte_event_enqueue_burst() or the combination of these two. If the flag is not set then eventdev is centralized and thus needs a dedicated service core that acts as a scheduling thread.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_QUEUE_ALL_TYPES RTE_BIT32(3)
Event device is capable of accepting enqueued events, of any type advertised as supported by the device, to all destination queues.

When this capability is set, and RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_ALL_TYPES flag is set in event_queue_cfg, the "schedule_type" field of the rte_event_queue_conf structure is ignored when a queue is being configured. Instead the "sched_type" field of each event enqueued is used to select the scheduling to be performed on that event.

If this capability is not set, or the configuration flag is not set, the queue only supports events of the RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ type specified in the rte_event_queue_conf structure at time of configuration. The behaviour when events of other scheduling types are sent to the queue is undefined.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_BURST_MODE RTE_BIT32(4)
Event device is capable of operating in burst mode for enqueue(forward, release) and dequeue operation.

If this capability is not set, application can still use the rte_event_dequeue_burst() and rte_event_enqueue_burst() but PMD accepts or returns only one event at a time.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_IMPLICIT_RELEASE_DISABLE RTE_BIT32(5)
Event device ports support disabling the implicit release feature, in which the port will release all unreleased events in its dequeue operation.

If this capability is set and the port is configured with implicit release disabled, the application is responsible for explicitly releasing events using either the RTE_EVENT_OP_FORWARD or the RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE event enqueue operations.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_NONSEQ_MODE RTE_BIT32(6)
Event device is capable of operating in non-sequential mode.

The path of the event is not necessary to be sequential. Application can change the path of event at runtime and events may be sent to queues in any order.

If the flag is not set, then event each event will follow a path from queue 0 to queue 1 to queue 2 etc. The eventdev will return an error when the application enqueues an event for a qid which is not the next in the sequence.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_RUNTIME_PORT_LINK RTE_BIT32(7)
Event device is capable of reconfiguring the queue/port link at runtime.

If the flag is not set, the eventdev queue/port link is only can be configured during initialization, or by stopping the device and then later restarting it after reconfiguration.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_MULTIPLE_QUEUE_PORT RTE_BIT32(8)
Event device is capable of setting up links between multiple queues and a single port.

If the flag is not set, each port may only be linked to a single queue, and so can only receive events from that queue. However, each queue may be linked to multiple ports.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_MAINTENANCE_FREE RTE_BIT32(10)
Event device does not require calls to rte_event_maintain().

An event device that does not set this flag requires calls to rte_event_maintain() during periods when neither rte_event_dequeue_burst() nor rte_event_enqueue_burst() are called on a port. This will allow the event device to perform internal processing, such as flushing buffered events, return credits to a global pool, or process signaling related to load balancing.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_RUNTIME_QUEUE_ATTR RTE_BIT32(11)
Event device is capable of changing the queue attributes at runtime i.e after rte_event_queue_setup() or rte_event_dev_start() call sequence.

If this flag is not set, event queue attributes can only be configured during rte_event_queue_setup().

Event device is capable of supporting multiple link profiles per event port.

When set, the value of rte_event_dev_info::max_profiles_per_port is greater than one, and multiple profiles may be configured and then switched at runtime. If not set, only a single profile may be configured, which may itself be runtime adjustable (if RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_RUNTIME_PORT_LINK is set).

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_INDEPENDENT_ENQ RTE_BIT32(16)
Event device is capable of independent enqueue. A new capability, RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_INDEPENDENT_ENQ, will indicate that Eventdev supports the enqueue in any order or specifically in a different order than the dequeue. Eventdev PMD can either dequeue events in the changed order in which they are enqueued or restore the original order before sending them to the underlying hardware device. A flag is provided during the port configuration to inform Eventdev PMD that the application intends to use an independent enqueue order on a particular port. Note that this capability only matters for eventdevs supporting burst mode.

When an implicit release is enabled on a port, Eventdev PMD will also handle the insertion of RELEASE events in place of dropped events. The independent enqueue feature only applies to FORWARD and RELEASE events. New events (op=RTE_EVENT_OP_NEW) will be dequeued in the order the application enqueues them and do not maintain any order relative to FORWARD/RELEASE events. FORWARD vs NEW relaxed ordering only applies to ports that have enabled independent enqueue feature.

Definition at line 446 of file rte_eventdev.h.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_EVENT_PRESCHEDULE RTE_BIT32(17)
Event device supports event pre-scheduling.

When this capability is available, the application can enable event pre-scheduling on the event device to pre-schedule events to a event port when rte_event_dequeue_burst() is issued. The pre-schedule process starts with the rte_event_dequeue_burst() call and the pre-scheduled events are returned on the next rte_event_dequeue_burst() call.

  #define RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_EVENT_PRESCHEDULE_ADAPTIVE RTE_BIT32(18)
Event device supports adaptive event pre-scheduling.

When this capability is available, the application can enable adaptive pre-scheduling on the event device where the events are pre-scheduled when there are no forward progress constraints with the currently held flow contexts. The pre-schedule process starts with the rte_event_dequeue_burst() call and the pre-scheduled events are returned on the next rte_event_dequeue_burst() call.

  #define RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ORDERED 0
Ordered scheduling

Events from an ordered flow of an event queue can be scheduled to multiple ports for concurrent processing while maintaining the original event order, i.e. the order in which they were first enqueued to that queue. This scheme allows events pertaining to the same, potentially large, flow to be processed in parallel on multiple cores without incurring any application-level order restoration logic overhead.

After events are dequeued from a set of ports, as those events are re-enqueued to another queue (with the op field set to RTE_EVENT_OP_FORWARD), the event device restores the original event order - including events returned from all ports in the set - before the events are placed on the destination queue, for subsequent scheduling to ports.

Any events not forwarded i.e. dropped explicitly via RELEASE or implicitly released by the next dequeue operation on a port, are skipped by the reordering stage and do not affect the reordering of other returned events.

Any NEW events sent on a port are not ordered with respect to FORWARD events sent on the same port, since they have no original event order. They also are not ordered with respect to NEW events enqueued on other ports. However, NEW events to the same destination queue from the same port are guaranteed to be enqueued in the order they were submitted via rte_event_enqueue_burst().

NOTE: In restoring event order of forwarded events, the eventdev API guarantees that all events from the same flow (i.e. same flow_id, priority and queue_id) will be put in the original order before being forwarded to the destination queue. Some eventdevs may implement stricter ordering to achieve this aim, for example, restoring the order across all flows dequeued from the same ORDERED queue.

  #define RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ATOMIC 1
Atomic scheduling

Events from an atomic flow, identified by a combination of flow_id, queue_id and priority, can be scheduled only to a single port at a time. The port is guaranteed to have exclusive (atomic) access to the associated flow context, which enables the user to avoid SW synchronization. Atomic flows also maintain event ordering since only one port at a time can process events from each flow of an event queue, and events within a flow are not reordered within the scheduler.

An atomic flow is locked to a port when events from that flow are first scheduled to that port. That lock remains in place until the application calls rte_event_dequeue_burst() from the same port, which implicitly releases the lock (if RTE_EVENT_PORT_CFG_DISABLE_IMPL_REL flag is not set). User may allow the scheduler to release the lock earlier than that by invoking rte_event_enqueue_burst() with RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE operation for each event from that flow.

NOTE: Where multiple events from the same queue and atomic flow are scheduled to a port, the lock for that flow is only released once the last event from the flow is released, or forwarded to another queue. So long as there is at least one event from an atomic flow scheduled to a port/core (including any events in the port's dequeue queue, not yet read by the application), that port will hold the synchronization lock for that flow.

  #define RTE_SCHED_TYPE_PARALLEL 2
Parallel scheduling

The scheduler performs priority scheduling, load balancing, etc. functions but does not provide additional event synchronization or ordering. It is free to schedule events from a single parallel flow of an event queue to multiple events ports for concurrent processing. The application is responsible for flow context synchronization and event ordering (SW synchronization).

The application must set the op field to this operation type to return a previously dequeued event to the event device to be scheduled for further processing.

The event's fields, including (but not limited to) flow_id, scheduling type, destination queue, and event payload e.g. mbuf pointer, may all be updated as desired by the application, but the impl_opaque field must be kept to the same value as was present when the event was dequeued.

Definition at line 1625 of file rte_eventdev.h.

  #define RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE 2
Release the flow context associated with the schedule type.

If current flow's scheduler type method is RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ATOMIC then this operation type hints the scheduler that the user has completed critical section processing for this event in the current atomic context, and that the scheduler may unlock any atomic locks held for this event. If this is the last event from an atomic flow, i.e. all flow locks are released (see RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ATOMIC for details), the scheduler is now allowed to schedule events from that flow from to another port. However, the atomic locks may be still held until the next rte_event_dequeue_burst() call; enqueuing an event with opt type RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE is a hint only, allowing the scheduler to release the atomic locks early, but not requiring it to do so.

Early atomic lock release may increase parallelism and thus system performance, but the user needs to design carefully the split into critical vs non-critical sections.

If current flow's scheduler type method is RTE_SCHED_TYPE_ORDERED then this operation type informs the scheduler that the current event has completed processing and will not be returned to the scheduler, i.e. it has been dropped, and so the reordering context for that event should be considered filled.

Events with this operation type must only be enqueued to the same port that the event to be released was dequeued from. The impl_opaque field in the release event must have the same value as that in the original dequeued event.

If a dequeued event is re-enqueued with operation type of RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE, then any subsequent enqueue of that event - or a copy of it - must be done as event of type RTE_EVENT_OP_NEW, not RTE_EVENT_OP_FORWARD. This is because any context for the originally dequeued event, i.e. atomic locks, or reorder buffer entries, will have been removed or invalidated by the release operation.

  void rte_event_port_quiesce (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, rte_eventdev_port_flush_t release_cb, void * args)
Quiesce any core specific resources consumed by the event port.

Event ports are generally coupled with lcores, and a given Hardware implementation might require the PMD to store port specific data in the lcore. When the application decides to migrate the event port to another lcore or teardown the current lcore it may to call rte_event_port_quiesce to make sure that all the data associated with the event port are released from the lcore, this might also include any prefetched events. While releasing the event port from the lcore, this function calls the user-provided flush callback once per event.

Note
    Invocation of this API does not affect the existing port configuration.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id The index of the event port to quiesce. The value must be less than nb_event_ports previously supplied to rte_event_dev_configure().
    release_cb Callback function invoked once per flushed event.

The device start step is the last one in device setup, and enables the event ports and queues to start accepting events and scheduling them to event ports.

On success, all basic functions exported by the API (event enqueue, event dequeue and so on) can be invoked.

Parameters
    dev_id Event device identifier.

Returns

    •   0: Success, device started.

    •   -EINVAL: Invalid device id provided.

    •   -ENOTSUP: Device does not support this operation.

  void rte_event_dev_stop (uint8_t dev_id)
Stop an event device.

This function causes all queued events to be drained, including those residing in event ports. While draining events out of the device, this function calls the user-provided flush callback (if one was registered) once per event.

The device can be restarted with a call to rte_event_dev_start(). Threads that continue to enqueue/dequeue while the device is stopped, or being stopped, will result in undefined behavior. This includes event adapters, which must be stopped prior to stopping the eventdev.

Parameters
    dev_id Event device identifier.

The callback function is only registered for the calling process. The callback function must be registered in every process that can call rte_event_dev_stop().

Only one callback function may be registered. Each new call replaces the existing registered callback function with the new function passed in.

To unregister a callback, call this function with a NULL callback pointer.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    callback Callback function to be invoked once per flushed event. Pass NULL to unset any previously-registered callback function.

  int rte_event_port_link (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, const uint8_t queues[], const uint8_t priorities[], uint16_t nb_links)
Link multiple source event queues supplied in queues to the destination event port designated by its port_id with associated service priority supplied in priorities on the event device designated by its dev_id.

The link establishment shall enable the event port port_id from receiving events from the specified event queue(s) supplied in queues

An event queue may link to one or more event ports. The number of links can be established from an event queue to event port is implementation defined.

Event queue(s) to event port link establishment can be changed at runtime without re-configuring the device to support scaling and to reduce the latency of critical work by establishing the link with more event ports at runtime.

When the value of rte_event_dev_info::max_profiles_per_port is greater than or equal to one, this function links the event queues to the default profile_id i.e. profile_id 0 of the event port.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id Event port identifier to select the destination port to link.
    queues Points to an array of nb_links event queues to be linked to the event port. NULL value is allowed, in which case this function links all the configured event queues nb_event_queues which previously supplied to rte_event_dev_configure() to the event port port_id
    priorities Points to an array of nb_links service priorities associated with each event queue link to event port. The priority defines the event port's servicing priority for event queue, which may be ignored by an implementation. The requested priority should in the range of [RTE_EVENT_DEV_PRIORITY_HIGHEST, RTE_EVENT_DEV_PRIORITY_LOWEST]. The implementation shall normalize the requested priority to implementation supported priority value. NULL value is allowed, in which case this function links the event queues with RTE_EVENT_DEV_PRIORITY_NORMAL servicing priority
    nb_links The number of links to establish. This parameter is ignored if queues is NULL.

Returns
    The number of links actually established. The return value can be less than the value of the nb_links parameter when the implementation has the limitation on specific queue to port link establishment or if invalid parameters are specified in queues If the return value is less than nb_links, the remaining links at the end of link[] are not established, and the caller has to take care of them. If return value is less than nb_links then implementation shall update the rte_errno accordingly, Possible rte_errno values are (EDQUOT) Quota exceeded(Application tried to link the queue configured with
     RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_SINGLE_LINK to more than one event ports) (EINVAL) Invalid parameter

  int rte_event_port_unlink (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, uint8_t queues[], uint16_t nb_unlinks)
Unlink multiple source event queues supplied in queues from the destination event port designated by its port_id on the event device designated by its dev_id.

The unlink call issues an async request to disable the event port port_id from receiving events from the specified event queue queue_id. Event queue(s) to event port unlink establishment can be changed at runtime without re-configuring the device.

When the value of rte_event_dev_info::max_profiles_per_port is greater than or equal to one, this function unlinks the event queues from the default profile identifier i.e. profile 0 of the event port.

See also

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id Event port identifier to select the destination port to unlink.
    queues Points to an array of nb_unlinks event queues to be unlinked from the event port. NULL value is allowed, in which case this function unlinks all the event queue(s) from the event port port_id.
    nb_unlinks The number of unlinks to establish. This parameter is ignored if queues is NULL.

Returns
    The number of unlinks successfully requested. The return value can be less than the value of the nb_unlinks parameter when the implementation has the limitation on specific queue to port unlink establishment or if invalid parameters are specified. If the return value is less than nb_unlinks, the remaining queues at the end of queues[] are not unlinked, and the caller has to take care of them. If return value is less than nb_unlinks then implementation shall update the rte_errno accordingly, Possible rte_errno values are (EINVAL) Invalid parameter

  __rte_experimental int rte_event_port_profile_links_set (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, const uint8_t queues[], const uint8_t priorities[], uint16_t nb_links, uint8_t profile_id)
Link multiple source event queues supplied in queues to the destination event port designated by its port_id with associated profile identifier supplied in profile_id with service priorities supplied in priorities on the event device designated by its dev_id.

If profile_id is set to 0 then, the links created by the call rte_event_port_link will be overwritten.

Event ports by default use profile_id 0 unless it is changed using the call rte_event_port_profile_switch().

The link establishment shall enable the event port port_id from receiving events from the specified event queue(s) supplied in queues

An event queue may link to one or more event ports. The number of links can be established from an event queue to event port is implementation defined.

Event queue(s) to event port link establishment can be changed at runtime without re-configuring the device to support scaling and to reduce the latency of critical work by establishing the link with more event ports at runtime.

The return value can be less than the value of the nb_links parameter when the implementation has the limitation on specific queue to port link establishment or if invalid parameters are specified in queues If the return value is less than nb_links, the remaining links at the end of link[] are not established, and the caller has to take care of them. If return value is less than nb_links then implementation shall update the rte_errno accordingly, Possible rte_errno values are (EDQUOT) Quota exceeded(Application tried to link the queue configured with
     RTE_EVENT_QUEUE_CFG_SINGLE_LINK to more than one event ports) (EINVAL) Invalid parameter

  __rte_experimental int rte_event_port_profile_unlink (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, uint8_t queues[], uint16_t nb_unlinks, uint8_t profile_id)
Unlink multiple source event queues supplied in queues that belong to profile designated by profile_id from the destination event port designated by its port_id on the event device designated by its dev_id.

If profile_id is set to 0 i.e., the default profile then, then this function will act as rte_event_port_unlink.

The unlink call issues an async request to disable the event port port_id from receiving events from the specified event queue queue_id. Event queue(s) to event port unlink establishment can be changed at runtime without re-configuring the device.

See also
    rte_event_port_unlinks_in_progress() to poll for completed unlinks.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id Event port identifier to select the destination port to unlink.
    queues Points to an array of nb_unlinks event queues to be unlinked from the event port. NULL value is allowed, in which case this function unlinks all the event queue(s) from the event port port_id.
    nb_unlinks The number of unlinks to establish. This parameter is ignored if queues is NULL.
    profile_id The profile identifier associated with the links between event queues and event port. Should be less than the max capability reported by rte_event_dev_info::max_profiles_per_port

Returns
    The number of unlinks successfully requested. The return value can be less than the value of the nb_unlinks parameter when the implementation has the limitation on specific queue to port unlink establishment or if invalid parameters are specified. If the return value is less than nb_unlinks, the remaining queues at the end of queues[] are not unlinked, and the caller has to take care of them. If return value is less than nb_unlinks then implementation shall update the rte_errno accordingly, Possible rte_errno values are (EINVAL) Invalid parameter

  uint16_t rte_event_enqueue_burst (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, const struct rte_event ev[], uint16_t nb_events) [inline], [static]
Enqueue a burst of events objects or an event object supplied in rte_event structure on an event device designated by its dev_id through the event port specified by port_id. Each event object specifies the event queue on which it will be enqueued.

The nb_events parameter is the number of event objects to enqueue which are supplied in the ev array of rte_event structure.

Event operations RTE_EVENT_OP_FORWARD and RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE must only be enqueued to the same port that their associated events were dequeued from.

The rte_event_enqueue_burst() function returns the number of events objects it actually enqueued. A return value equal to nb_events means that all event objects have been enqueued.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id The identifier of the event port.
    ev Points to an array of nb_events objects of type rte_event structure which contain the event object enqueue operations to be processed.
    nb_events The number of event objects to enqueue, typically number of rte_event_port_attr_get(...RTE_EVENT_PORT_ATTR_ENQ_DEPTH...) available for this port.

Returns
    The number of event objects actually enqueued on the event device. The return value can be less than the value of the nb_events parameter when the event devices queue is full or if invalid parameters are specified in a rte_event. If the return value is less than nb_events, the remaining events at the end of ev[] are not consumed and the caller has to take care of them, and rte_errno is set accordingly. Possible errno values include:

    •   EINVAL The port ID is invalid, device ID is invalid, an event's queue ID is invalid, or an event's sched type doesn't match the capabilities of the destination queue.

    •   ENOSPC The event port was backpressured and unable to enqueue one or more events. This error code is only applicable to closed systems.

Enqueue a burst of events objects of operation type RTE_EVENT_OP_NEW on an event device designated by its dev_id through the event port specified by port_id.

Provides the same functionality as rte_event_enqueue_burst(), expect that application can use this API when the all objects in the burst contains the enqueue operation of the type RTE_EVENT_OP_NEW. This specialized function can provide the additional hint to the PMD and optimize if possible.

The rte_event_enqueue_new_burst() result is undefined if the enqueue burst has event object of operation type != RTE_EVENT_OP_NEW.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id The identifier of the event port.
    ev Points to an array of nb_events objects of type rte_event structure which contain the event object enqueue operations to be processed.
    nb_events The number of event objects to enqueue, typically number of rte_event_port_attr_get(...RTE_EVENT_PORT_ATTR_ENQ_DEPTH...) available for this port.

Returns
    The number of event objects actually enqueued on the event device. The return value can be less than the value of the nb_events parameter when the event devices queue is full or if invalid parameters are specified in a rte_event. If the return value is less than nb_events, the remaining events at the end of ev[] are not consumed and the caller has to take care of them, and rte_errno is set accordingly. Possible errno values include:

    •   EINVAL The port ID is invalid, device ID is invalid, an event's queue ID is invalid, or an event's sched type doesn't match the capabilities of the destination queue.

    •   ENOSPC The event port was backpressured and unable to enqueue one or more events. This error code is only applicable to closed systems.

  uint16_t rte_event_dequeue_burst (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, struct rte_event ev[], uint16_t nb_events, uint64_t timeout_ticks) [inline], [static]
Dequeue a burst of events objects or an event object from the event port designated by its event_port_id, on an event device designated by its dev_id.

rte_event_dequeue_burst() does not dictate the specifics of scheduling algorithm as each eventdev driver may have different criteria to schedule an event. However, in general, from an application perspective scheduler may use the following scheme to dispatch an event to the port.

1) Selection of event queue based on a) The list of event queues are linked to the event port. b) If the device has RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_QUEUE_QOS capability then event queue selection from list is based on event queue priority relative to other event queue supplied as priority in rte_event_queue_setup() c) If the device has RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_EVENT_QOS capability then event queue selection from the list is based on event priority supplied as priority in rte_event_enqueue_burst() 2) Selection of event a) The number of flows available in selected event queue. b) Schedule type method associated with the event

The nb_events parameter is the maximum number of event objects to dequeue which are returned in the ev array of rte_event structure.

The rte_event_dequeue_burst() function returns the number of events objects it actually dequeued. A return value equal to nb_events means that all event objects have been dequeued.

The number of events dequeued is the number of scheduler contexts held by this port. These contexts are automatically released in the next rte_event_dequeue_burst() invocation if the port supports implicit releases, or invoking rte_event_enqueue_burst() with RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE operation can be used to release the contexts early.

Event operations RTE_EVENT_OP_FORWARD and RTE_EVENT_OP_RELEASE must only be enqueued to the same port that their associated events were dequeued from.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id The identifier of the event port.
    ev Points to an array of nb_events objects of type rte_event structure for output to be populated with the dequeued event objects.
    nb_events The maximum number of event objects to dequeue, typically number of rte_event_port_dequeue_depth() available for this port.
    timeout_ticks

    •   0 no-wait, returns immediately if there is no event.

    •   >0 wait for the event, if the device is configured with RTE_EVENT_DEV_CFG_PER_DEQUEUE_TIMEOUT then this function will wait until at least one event is available or timeout_ticks time. if the device is not configured with RTE_EVENT_DEV_CFG_PER_DEQUEUE_TIMEOUT then this function will wait until the event available or dequeue_timeout_ns ns which was previously supplied to rte_event_dev_configure()

Returns
    The number of event objects actually dequeued from the port. The return value can be less than the value of the nb_events parameter when the event port's queue is not full.

  int rte_event_maintain (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, int op) [inline], [static]
Maintain an event device.

This function is only relevant for event devices which do not have the RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_MAINTENANCE_FREE flag set. Such devices require an application thread using a particular port to periodically call rte_event_maintain() on that port during periods which it is neither attempting to enqueue events to nor dequeue events from the port. rte_event_maintain() is a low-overhead function and should be called at a high rate (e.g., in the application's poll loop).

No port may be left unmaintained.

At the application thread's convenience, rte_event_maintain() may (but is not required to) be called even during periods when enqueue or dequeue functions are being called, at the cost of a slight increase in overhead.

rte_event_maintain() may be called on event devices which have set RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_MAINTENANCE_FREE, in which case it is a no-operation.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id The identifier of the event port.
    op 0, or RTE_EVENT_DEV_MAINT_OP_FLUSH.

Returns

    •   0 on success.

    •   -EINVAL if dev_id, port_id, or op is invalid.

  uint8_t rte_event_port_profile_switch (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, uint8_t profile_id) [inline], [static]
Change the active profile on an event port.

This function is used to change the current active profile on an event port when multiple link profiles are configured on an event port through the function call rte_event_port_profile_links_set.

On the subsequent rte_event_dequeue_burst call, only the event queues that were associated with the newly active profile will participate in scheduling.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id The identifier of the event port.
    profile_id The identifier of the profile.

Returns

    •   0 on success.

    •   -EINVAL if dev_id, port_id, or profile_id is invalid.

Definition at line 2959 of file rte_eventdev.h.

  __rte_experimental int rte_event_port_preschedule_modify (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, enum rte_event_dev_preschedule_type type) [inline], [static]
Modify the pre-schedule type to use on an event port.

This function is used to change the current pre-schedule type configured on an event port, the pre-schedule type can be set to none to disable pre-scheduling. This effects the subsequent rte_event_dequeue_burst call. The event device should support RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_PER_PORT_PRESCHEDULE capability.

To avoid fastpath capability checks if an event device does not support RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_PER_PORT_PRESCHEDULE capability, then this function will return -ENOTSUP.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id The identifier of the event port.
    type The preschedule type to use on the event port.

Returns

    •   0 on success.

    •   -EINVAL if dev_id, port_id, or type is invalid.

    •   -ENOTSUP if the device does not support per port preschedule capability.

Definition at line 3008 of file rte_eventdev.h.

  __rte_experimental void rte_event_port_preschedule (uint8_t dev_id, uint8_t port_id, enum rte_event_dev_preschedule_type type) [inline], [static]
Provide a hint to the event device to pre-schedule events to event port .

Hint the event device to pre-schedule events to the event port. The call doesn't not guarantee that the events will be pre-scheduleed. The call doesn't release the flow context currently held by the event port. The event device should support RTE_EVENT_DEV_CAP_PRESCHEDULE_EXPLICIT capability.

When pre-scheduling is enabled at an event device/port level or if the capability is not supported, then the hint is ignored.

Subsequent calls to rte_event_dequeue_burst() will dequeue the pre-schedule events but pre-schedule operation is not issued again.

Parameters
    dev_id The identifier of the device.
    port_id The identifier of the event port.
    type The pre-schedule type to use on the event port.
