Detailed Description
RTE Ethernet Device API
The Ethernet Device API is composed of two parts:
• The application-oriented Ethernet API that includes functions to setup an Ethernet device (configure
it, setup its Rx and Tx queues and start it), to get its MAC address, the speed and the status of its
physical link, to receive and to transmit packets, and so on.
• The driver-oriented Ethernet API that exports functions allowing an Ethernet Poll Mode Driver (PMD) to
allocate an Ethernet device instance, create memzone for HW rings and process registered callbacks, and
so on. PMDs should include ethdev_driver.h instead of this header.
By default, all the functions of the Ethernet Device API exported by a PMD are lock-free functions which
assume to not be invoked in parallel on different logical cores to work on the same target object. For
instance, the receive function of a PMD cannot be invoked in parallel on two logical cores to poll the
same Rx queue [of the same port]. Of course, this function can be invoked in parallel by different
logical cores on different Rx queues. It is the responsibility of the upper level application to enforce
this rule.
If needed, parallel accesses by multiple logical cores to shared queues shall be explicitly protected by
dedicated inline lock-aware functions built on top of their corresponding lock-free functions of the PMD
API.
In all functions of the Ethernet API, the Ethernet device is designated by an integer >= 0 named the
device port identifier.
At the Ethernet driver level, Ethernet devices are represented by a generic data structure of type
rte_eth_dev.
Ethernet devices are dynamically registered during the PCI probing phase performed at EAL initialization
time. When an Ethernet device is being probed, an rte_eth_dev structure and a new port identifier are
allocated for that device. Then, the eth_dev_init() function supplied by the Ethernet driver matching the
probed PCI device is invoked to properly initialize the device.
The role of the device init function consists of resetting the hardware, checking access to Non-volatile
Memory (NVM), reading the MAC address from NVM etc.
If the device init operation is successful, the correspondence between the port identifier assigned to
the new device and its associated rte_eth_dev structure is effectively registered. Otherwise, both the
rte_eth_dev structure and the port identifier are freed.
The functions exported by the application Ethernet API to setup a device designated by its port
identifier must be invoked in the following order:
• rte_eth_dev_configure()
• rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()
• rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()
• rte_eth_dev_start()
Then, the network application can invoke, in any order, the functions exported by the Ethernet API to get
the MAC address of a given device, to get the speed and the status of a device physical link, to
receive/transmit [burst of] packets, and so on.
If the application wants to change the configuration (i.e. call rte_eth_dev_configure(),
rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(), or rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()), it must call rte_eth_dev_stop() first to stop the
device and then do the reconfiguration before calling rte_eth_dev_start() again. The transmit and receive
functions should not be invoked when the device or the queue is stopped.
Please note that some configuration is not stored between calls to
rte_eth_dev_stop()/rte_eth_dev_start(). The following configuration will be retained:
- MTU
- flow control settings
- receive mode configuration (promiscuous mode, all-multicast mode,
hardware checksum mode, RSS/VMDq settings etc.)
- VLAN filtering configuration
- default MAC address
- MAC addresses supplied to MAC address array
- flow director filtering mode (but not filtering rules)
- NIC queue statistics mappings
The following configuration may be retained or not depending on the device capabilities:
- flow rules
- flow-related shared objects, e.g. indirect actions
Any other configuration will not be stored and will need to be re-entered before a call to
rte_eth_dev_start().
Finally, a network application can close an Ethernet device by invoking the rte_eth_dev_close() function.
Each function of the application Ethernet API invokes a specific function of the PMD that controls the
target device designated by its port identifier. For this purpose, all device-specific functions of an
Ethernet driver are supplied through a set of pointers contained in a generic structure of type
eth_dev_ops. The address of the eth_dev_ops structure is stored in the rte_eth_dev structure by the
device init function of the Ethernet driver, which is invoked during the PCI probing phase, as explained
earlier.
In other words, each function of the Ethernet API simply retrieves the rte_eth_dev structure associated
with the device port identifier and performs an indirect invocation of the corresponding driver function
supplied in the eth_dev_ops structure of the rte_eth_dev structure.
For performance reasons, the address of the burst-oriented Rx and Tx functions of the Ethernet driver are
not contained in the eth_dev_ops structure. Instead, they are directly stored at the beginning of the
rte_eth_dev structure to avoid an extra indirect memory access during their invocation.
RTE Ethernet device drivers do not use interrupts for transmitting or receiving. Instead, Ethernet
drivers export Poll-Mode receive and transmit functions to applications. Both receive and transmit
functions are packet-burst oriented to minimize their cost per packet through the following
optimizations:
• Sharing among multiple packets the incompressible cost of the invocation of receive/transmit functions.
• Enabling receive/transmit functions to take advantage of burst-oriented hardware features (L1 cache,
prefetch instructions, NIC head/tail registers) to minimize the number of CPU cycles per packet, for
instance, by avoiding useless read memory accesses to ring descriptors, or by systematically using
arrays of pointers that exactly fit L1 cache line boundaries and sizes.
The burst-oriented receive function does not provide any error notification, to avoid the corresponding
overhead. As a hint, the upper-level application might check the status of the device link once being
systematically returned a 0 value by the receive function of the driver for a given number of tries.

#define RTE_ETH_RSS_L4_CHKSUM RTE_BIT64(35)
The RTE_ETH_RSS_L4_CHKSUM works on checksum field of any L4 header. It is similar to RTE_ETH_RSS_PORT
that they don't specify the specific type of L4 header. This macro is defined to replace some specific L4
(TCP/UDP/SCTP) checksum type for constructing the use of RSS offload bits.
Due to above reason, some old APIs (and configuration) don't support RTE_ETH_RSS_L4_CHKSUM. The rte_flow
RSS API supports it.
For the case that checksum is not used in an UDP header, it takes the reserved value 0 as input for the
hash function.

typedef uint16_t(* rte_rx_callback_fn) (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue, struct rte_mbuf *pkts[], uint16_t
nb_pkts, uint16_t max_pkts, void *user_param)
Function type used for Rx packet processing packet callbacks.
The callback function is called on Rx with a burst of packets that have been received on the given port
and queue.
Parameters
port_id The Ethernet port on which Rx is being performed.
queue The queue on the Ethernet port which is being used to receive the packets.
pkts The burst of packets that have just been received.
nb_pkts The number of packets in the burst pointed to by "pkts".
max_pkts The max number of packets that can be stored in the "pkts" array.
user_param The arbitrary user parameter passed in by the application when the callback was originally
configured.
Returns
The number of packets returned to the user.

typedef uint16_t(* rte_tx_callback_fn) (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue, struct rte_mbuf *pkts[], uint16_t
nb_pkts, void *user_param)
Function type used for Tx packet processing packet callbacks.
The callback function is called on Tx with a burst of packets immediately before the packets are put onto
the hardware queue for transmission.
Parameters
port_id The Ethernet port on which Tx is being performed.
queue The queue on the Ethernet port which is being used to transmit the packets.
pkts The burst of packets that are about to be transmitted.
nb_pkts The number of packets in the burst pointed to by "pkts".
user_param The arbitrary user parameter passed in by the application when the callback was originally
configured.
Returns
The number of packets to be written to the NIC.

typedef int(* rte_eth_dev_cb_fn) (uint16_t port_id, enum rte_eth_event_type event, void *cb_arg, void
*ret_param)
User application callback to be registered for interrupts.
Note: there is no guarantee in the DPDK drivers that a callback won't be called in the middle of other
parts of the ethdev API. For example, imagine that thread A calls rte_eth_dev_start() and as part of this
call, a RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event gets generated and the associated callback is ran on thread A. In
that example, if the application protects its internal data using locks before calling
rte_eth_dev_start(), and the callback takes a same lock, a deadlock occurs. Because of this, it is highly
recommended NOT to take locks in those callbacks.

RTE_ETH_EVENT_ERR_RECOVERING
Port recovering from a hardware or firmware error. If PMD supports proactive error recovery, it
should trigger this event to notify application that it detected an error and the recovery is
being started. Upon receiving the event, the application should not invoke any control path API
(such as rte_eth_dev_configure/rte_eth_dev_stop...) until receiving RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS
or RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_FAILED event. The PMD will set the data path pointers to dummy
functions, and re-set the data path pointers to non-dummy functions before reporting
RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS event. It means that the application cannot send or receive any
packets during this period.
Note
Before the PMD reports the recovery result, the PMD may report the RTE_ETH_EVENT_ERR_RECOVERING event
again, because a larger error may occur during the recovery.
RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS
Port recovers successfully from the error. The PMD already re-configured the port, and the effect
is the same as a restart operation. a) The following operation will be retained: (alphabetically)
• DCB configuration
• FEC configuration
• Flow control configuration
• LRO configuration
• LSC configuration
• MTU
• MAC address (default and those supplied by MAC address array)
• Promiscuous and allmulticast mode
• PTP configuration
• Queue (Rx/Tx) settings
• Queue statistics mappings
• RSS configuration by rte_eth_dev_rss_xxx() family
• Rx checksum configuration
• Rx interrupt settings
• Traffic management configuration
• VLAN configuration (including filtering, tpid, strip, pvid)
• VMDq configuration b) The following configuration maybe retained or not depending on the device
capabilities:
• flow rules (
See also
RTE_ETH_DEV_CAPA_FLOW_RULE_KEEP)
• shared flow objects (
See also
RTE_ETH_DEV_CAPA_FLOW_SHARED_OBJECT_KEEP) c) Any other configuration will not be stored and will need
to be re-configured.
RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_FAILED
Port recovery failed. It means that the port should not be usable anymore. The application should
close the port.

Function Documentation
int rte_eth_iterator_init (struct rte_dev_iterator * iter, const char * devargs)
Initializes a device iterator.
This iterator allows accessing a list of devices matching some devargs.
Parameters
iter Device iterator handle initialized by the function. The fields bus_str and cls_str might be
dynamically allocated, and could be freed by calling rte_eth_iterator_cleanup().
devargs Device description string.
Returns
0 on successful initialization, negative otherwise.
uint16_t rte_eth_iterator_next (struct rte_dev_iterator * iter)
Iterates on devices with devargs filter. The ownership is not checked.
The next port ID is returned, and the iterator is updated.
Parameters
iter Device iterator handle initialized by rte_eth_iterator_init(). Some fields bus_str and cls_str
might be freed when no more port is found, by calling rte_eth_iterator_cleanup().
Returns
A port ID if found, RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS otherwise.
void rte_eth_iterator_cleanup (struct rte_dev_iterator * iter)
Free some allocated fields of the iterator.
This function is automatically called by rte_eth_iterator_next() on the last iteration (i.e. when no more
matching port is found).
It is safe to call this function twice; it will do nothing more.
Parameters
iter Device iterator handle initialized by rte_eth_iterator_init(). The fields bus_str and cls_str
are freed if needed.
uint64_t rte_eth_rss_hf_refine (uint64_t rss_hf) [inline], [static]

int rte_eth_dev_configure (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t nb_rx_queue, uint16_t nb_tx_queue, const struct
rte_eth_conf * eth_conf)
Configure an Ethernet device. This function must be invoked first before any other function in the
Ethernet API. This function can also be re-invoked when a device is in the stopped state.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device to configure.
nb_rx_queue The number of receive queues to set up for the Ethernet device.
nb_tx_queue The number of transmit queues to set up for the Ethernet device.
eth_conf The pointer to the configuration data to be used for the Ethernet device. The rte_eth_conf
structure includes:
• the hardware offload features to activate, with dedicated fields for each statically configurable
offload hardware feature provided by Ethernet devices, such as IP checksum or VLAN tag stripping
for example. The Rx offload bitfield API is obsolete and will be deprecated. Applications should
set the ignore_bitfield_offloads bit on rxmode structure and use offloads field to set per-port
offloads instead.
• Any offloading set in eth_conf->[rt]xmode.offloads must be within the [rt]x_offload_capa returned
from rte_eth_dev_info_get(). Any type of device supported offloading set in the input argument
eth_conf->[rt]xmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure() is enabled on all queues and it can't be
disabled in rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup()
• the Receive Side Scaling (RSS) configuration when using multiple Rx queues per port. Any RSS hash
function set in eth_conf->rss_conf.rss_hf must be within the flow_type_rss_offloads provided by
drivers via rte_eth_dev_info_get() API.
Embedding all configuration information in a single data structure is the more flexible method that
allows the addition of new features without changing the syntax of the API.
Returns
• 0: Success, device configured.
• <0: Error code returned by the driver configuration function.
int rte_eth_dev_is_removed (uint16_t port_id)
Check if an Ethernet device was physically removed.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
Returns
1 when the Ethernet device is removed, otherwise 0.
int rte_eth_rx_queue_setup (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t rx_queue_id, uint16_t nb_rx_desc, unsigned int
socket_id, const struct rte_eth_rxconf * rx_conf, struct rte_mempool * mb_pool)
Allocate and set up a receive queue for an Ethernet device.
The function allocates a contiguous block of memory for nb_rx_desc receive descriptors from a memory zone
associated with socket_id and initializes each receive descriptor with a network buffer allocated from
the memory pool mb_pool.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
rx_queue_id The index of the receive queue to set up. The value must be in the range [0, nb_rx_queue
- 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
nb_rx_desc The number of receive descriptors to allocate for the receive ring.
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 DMA memory allocated for the receive descriptors
of the ring.
rx_conf The pointer to the configuration data to be used for the receive queue. NULL value is
allowed, in which case default Rx configuration will be used. The rx_conf structure contains an
rx_thresh structure with the values of the Prefetch, Host, and Write-Back threshold registers of the
receive ring. In addition it contains the hardware offloads features to activate using the
RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_* flags. If an offloading set in rx_conf->offloads hasn't been set in the input
argument eth_conf->rxmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure(), it is a new added offloading, it must
be per-queue type and it is enabled for the queue. No need to repeat any bit in rx_conf->offloads
which has already been enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure() at port level. An offloading enabled at
port level can't be disabled at queue level. The configuration structure also contains the pointer to
the array of the receiving buffer segment descriptions, see rx_seg and rx_nseg fields, this extended
configuration might be used by split offloads like RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT. If mb_pool is not
NULL, the extended configuration fields must be set to NULL and zero.
mb_pool The pointer to the memory pool from which to allocate rte_mbuf network memory buffers to
populate each descriptor of the receive ring. There are two options to provide Rx buffer
configuration:
• single pool: mb_pool is not NULL, rx_conf.rx_nseg is 0.
• multiple segments description: mb_pool is NULL, rx_conf.rx_seg is not NULL, rx_conf.rx_nseg is not
0. Taken only if flag RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT is set in offloads.
Returns
• 0: Success, receive queue correctly set up.
• -EIO: if device is removed.
• -ENODEV: if port_id is invalid.
• -EINVAL: The memory pool pointer is null or the size of network buffers which can be allocated from
this memory pool does not fit the various buffer sizes allowed by the device controller.
• -ENOMEM: Unable to allocate the receive ring descriptors or to allocate network memory buffers from
the memory pool when initializing receive descriptors.
__rte_experimental int rte_eth_rx_hairpin_queue_setup (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t rx_queue_id, uint16_t

Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change, or be removed, without prior notice
Allocate and set up a hairpin receive queue for an Ethernet device.
The function set up the selected queue to be used in hairpin.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
rx_queue_id The index of the receive queue to set up. The value must be in the range [0, nb_rx_queue
- 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
nb_rx_desc The number of receive descriptors to allocate for the receive ring. 0 means the PMD will
use default value.
conf The pointer to the hairpin configuration.
Returns
• (0) if successful.
• (-ENODEV) if port_id is invalid.
• (-ENOTSUP) if hardware doesn't support.
• (-EINVAL) if bad parameter.
• (-ENOMEM) if unable to allocate the resources.
int rte_eth_tx_queue_setup (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t tx_queue_id, uint16_t nb_tx_desc, unsigned int
socket_id, const struct rte_eth_txconf * tx_conf)
Allocate and set up a transmit queue for an Ethernet device.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
tx_queue_id The index of the transmit queue to set up. The value must be in the range [0, nb_tx_queue
- 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
nb_tx_desc The number of transmit descriptors to allocate for the transmit ring.
socket_id The socket_id argument is the socket identifier in case of NUMA. Its value can be
SOCKET_ID_ANY if there is no NUMA constraint for the DMA memory allocated for the transmit
descriptors of the ring.
tx_conf The pointer to the configuration data to be used for the transmit queue. NULL value is
allowed, in which case default Tx configuration will be used. The tx_conf structure contains the
following data:
• The tx_thresh structure with the values of the Prefetch, Host, and Write-Back threshold registers
of the transmit ring. When setting Write-Back threshold to the value greater then zero,
tx_rs_thresh value should be explicitly set to one.
• The tx_free_thresh value indicates the [minimum] number of network buffers that must be pending in
the transmit ring to trigger their [implicit] freeing by the driver transmit function.
• The tx_rs_thresh value indicates the [minimum] number of transmit descriptors that must be pending
in the transmit ring before setting the RS bit on a descriptor by the driver transmit function. The
tx_rs_thresh value should be less or equal then tx_free_thresh value, and both of them should be
less then nb_tx_desc - 3.
• The offloads member contains Tx offloads to be enabled. If an offloading set in tx_conf->offloads
hasn't been set in the input argument eth_conf->txmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure(), it is a
new added offloading, it must be per-queue type and it is enabled for the queue. No need to repeat
any bit in tx_conf->offloads which has already been enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure() at port
level. An offloading enabled at port level can't be disabled at queue level.
Note that setting tx_free_thresh or tx_rs_thresh value to 0 forces the transmit function to use
default values.
Returns
• 0: Success, the transmit queue is correctly set up.
• -ENOMEM: Unable to allocate the transmit ring descriptors.

int rte_eth_dev_reset (uint16_t port_id)
Reset a Ethernet device and keep its port ID.
When a port has to be reset passively, the DPDK application can invoke this function. For example when a
PF is reset, all its VFs should also be reset. Normally a DPDK application can invoke this function when
RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event is detected, but can also use it to start a port reset in other
circumstances.
When this function is called, it first stops the port and then calls the PMD specific dev_uninit( ) and
dev_init( ) to return the port to initial state, in which no Tx and Rx queues are setup, as if the port
has been reset and not started. The port keeps the port ID it had before the function call.
After calling rte_eth_dev_reset( ), the application should use rte_eth_dev_configure( ),
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup( ), rte_eth_tx_queue_setup( ), and rte_eth_dev_start( ) to reconfigure the device
as appropriate.
Note: To avoid unexpected behavior, the application should stop calling Tx and Rx functions before
calling rte_eth_dev_reset( ). For thread safety, all these controlling functions should be called from
the same thread.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
Returns
• (0) if successful.
• (-ENODEV) if port_id is invalid.
• (-ENOTSUP) if hardware doesn't support this function.

int rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes (uint16_t port_id, uint32_t ptype_mask, uint32_t * ptypes, int num)
Retrieve the supported packet types of an Ethernet device.
When a packet type is announced as supported, it must be recognized by the PMD. For instance, if
RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER, RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN and RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4 are announced, the PMD must return the
following packet types for these packets:
• Ether/IPv4 -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER | RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4
• Ether/VLAN/IPv4 -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN | RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4
• Ether/[anything else] -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER
• Ether/VLAN/[anything else] -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN
When a packet is received by a PMD, the most precise type must be returned among the ones supported.
However a PMD is allowed to set packet type that is not in the supported list, at the condition that it
is more precise. Therefore, a PMD announcing no supported packet types can still set a matching packet
type in a received packet.
Note
Better to invoke this API after the device is already started or Rx burst function is decided, to
obtain correct supported ptypes.
if a given PMD does not report what ptypes it supports, then the supported ptype count is reported as
0.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
ptype_mask A hint of what kind of packet type which the caller is interested in.
ptypes An array pointer to store adequate packet types, allocated by caller.
num Size of the array pointed by param ptypes.
Returns
• (>=0) Number of supported ptypes. If the number of types exceeds num, only num entries will be
filled into the ptypes array, but the full count of supported ptypes will be returned.
• (-ENODEV) if port_id invalid.
• (-EINVAL) if bad parameter.
int rte_eth_dev_set_ptypes (uint16_t port_id, uint32_t ptype_mask, uint32_t * set_ptypes, unsigned int num)
Inform Ethernet device about reduced range of packet types to handle.
Application can use this function to set only specific ptypes that it's interested. This information can
be used by the PMD to optimize Rx path.
The function accepts an array set_ptypes allocated by the caller to store the packet types set by the
driver, the last element of the array is set to RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN. The size of the set_ptype array should
be rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes() + 1 else it might only be filled partially.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
ptype_mask The ptype family that application is interested in should be bitwise OR of
RTE_PTYPE_*_MASK or 0.
set_ptypes An array pointer to store set packet types, allocated by caller. The function marks the
end of array with RTE_PTYPE_UNKNOWN.
num Size of the array pointed by param ptypes. Should be rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes() + 1 to
accommodate the set ptypes.
Returns
• (0) if Success.
• (-ENODEV) if port_id invalid.
• (-EINVAL) if ptype_mask is invalid (or) set_ptypes is NULL and num > 0.

int rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback (struct rte_eth_dev_tx_buffer * buffer, buffer_tx_error_fn callback,
void * userdata)
Configure a callback for buffered packets which cannot be sent
Register a specific callback to be called when an attempt is made to send all packets buffered on an
Ethernet port, but not all packets can successfully be sent. The callback registered here will be called
only from calls to rte_eth_tx_buffer() and rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush() APIs. The default callback
configured for each queue by default just frees the packets back to the calling mempool. If additional
behaviour is required, for example, to count dropped packets, or to retry transmission of packets which
cannot be sent, this function should be used to register a suitable callback function to implement the
desired behaviour. The example callback "rte_eth_tx_buffer_count_callback()" is also provided as
reference.
Parameters
buffer The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
callback The function to be used as the callback.
userdata Arbitrary parameter to be passed to the callback function
Returns
0 on success, or -EINVAL if bad parameter
void rte_eth_tx_buffer_drop_callback (struct rte_mbuf ** pkts, uint16_t unsent, void * userdata)

buffered packets cannot be sent. This function drops any unsent packets silently and is used by Tx
buffered operations as default behavior.
NOTE: this function should not be called directly, instead it should be used as a callback for packet
buffering.
NOTE: when configuring this function as a callback with rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback(), the final,
userdata parameter should point to an uint64_t value.
Parameters
pkts The previously buffered packets which could not be sent
unsent The number of unsent packets in the pkts array
userdata Not used
void rte_eth_tx_buffer_count_callback (struct rte_mbuf ** pkts, uint16_t unsent, void * userdata)
Callback function for tracking unsent buffered packets.
This function can be passed to rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback() to adjust the default behavior when
buffered packets cannot be sent. This function drops any unsent packets, but also updates a user-supplied
counter to track the overall number of packets dropped. The counter should be an uint64_t variable.
NOTE: this function should not be called directly, instead it should be used as a callback for packet
buffering.
NOTE: when configuring this function as a callback with rte_eth_tx_buffer_set_err_callback(), the final,
userdata parameter should point to an uint64_t value.
Parameters

__rte_experimental int rte_eth_timesync_adjust_freq (uint16_t port_id, int64_t ppm)
Adjust the clock frequency on an Ethernet device.
Adjusts the base frequency by a specified percentage of ppm (parts per million). This is usually used in
conjunction with other Ethdev timesync functions to synchronize the device time using the
IEEE1588/802.1AS protocol.
The clock is subject to frequency deviation and rate of change drift due to the environment. The upper
layer APP calculates the frequency compensation value of the slave clock relative to the master clock via
a servo algorithm and adjusts the device clock frequency via "rte_eth_timesync_adjust_freq()". Commonly
used servo algorithms are pi/linreg/ntpshm, for implementation see: https://github.com/nxp-
archive/openil_linuxptp.git.
The adjustment value obtained by the servo algorithm is usually in ppb (parts per billion). For
consistency with the kernel driver .adjfine, the tuning values are in ppm. Note that 1 ppb is
approximately 65.536 scaled ppm, see Linux kernel upstream commit 1060707e3809 (‘ptp: introduce helpers
to adjust by scaled parts per million’).
In addition, the device reference frequency is usually also the stepping threshold for the servo
algorithm, and the frequency up and down adjustment range is limited by the device. The device clock
frequency should be adjusted with "rte_eth_timesync_adjust_freq()" every time the clock is synchronised.
Also use ‘rte_eth_timesync_adjust_time()’ to update the device clock only if the absolute value of the
master/slave clock offset is greater than or equal to the step threshold.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
ppm Parts per million with 16-bit fractional field
Returns
• 0: Success.
• -ENODEV: The port ID is invalid.
• -EIO: if device is removed.
• -ENOTSUP: The function is not supported by the Ethernet driver.
int rte_eth_timesync_read_time (uint16_t port_id, struct timespec * time)

using the IEEE1588/802.1AS protocol.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
time Pointer to the timespec struct that holds the time.

__rte_experimental int rte_eth_read_clock (uint16_t port_id, uint64_t * clock)
Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.
Read the current clock counter of an Ethernet device
This returns the current raw clock value of an Ethernet device. It is a raw amount of ticks, with no
given time reference. The value returned here is from the same clock than the one filling timestamp field
of Rx packets when using hardware timestamp offload. Therefore it can be used to compute a precise
conversion of the device clock to the real time.
E.g, a simple heuristic to derivate the frequency would be: uint64_t start, end; rte_eth_read_clock(port,
start); rte_delay_ms(100); rte_eth_read_clock(port, end); double freq = (end - start) * 10;
Compute a common reference with: uint64_t base_time_sec = current_time(); uint64_t base_clock;
rte_eth_read_clock(port, base_clock);
Then, convert the raw mbuf timestamp with: base_time_sec + (double)(*timestamp_dynfield(mbuf) -
base_clock) / freq;
This simple example will not provide a very good accuracy. One must at least measure multiple times the
frequency and do a regression. To avoid deviation from the system time, the common reference can be
repeated from time to time. The integer division can also be converted by a multiplication and a shift
for better performance.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
clock Pointer to the uint64_t that holds the raw clock value.
Returns
• 0: Success.
• -ENODEV: The port ID is invalid.
• -ENOTSUP: The function is not supported by the Ethernet driver.

__rte_experimental int rte_eth_representor_info_get (uint16_t port_id, struct rte_eth_representor_info *
info)
Retrieve the representor info of the device.
Get device representor info to be able to calculate a unique representor ID.
See also
rte_eth_representor_id_get helper.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the device.
info A pointer to a representor info structure. NULL to return number of range entries and allocate
memory for next call to store detail. The number of ranges that were written into this structure will
be placed into its nb_ranges field. This number cannot be larger than the nb_ranges_alloc that by the
user before calling this function. It can be smaller than the value returned by the function,
however.
Returns
• (-ENOTSUP) if operation is not supported.
• (-ENODEV) if port_id invalid.
• (-EIO) if device is removed.
• (>=0) number of available representor range entries.
int rte_eth_rx_metadata_negotiate (uint16_t port_id, uint64_t * features)
Negotiate the NIC's ability to deliver specific kinds of metadata to the PMD.
Invoke this API before the first rte_eth_dev_configure() invocation to let the PMD make preparations that
are inconvenient to do later.
The negotiation process is as follows:
• the application requests features intending to use at least some of them;
• the PMD responds with the guaranteed subset of the requested feature set;
• the application can retry negotiation with another set of features;
• the application can pass zero to clear the negotiation result;
• the last negotiated result takes effect upon the ethdev configure and start.
Note
The PMD is supposed to first consider enabling the requested feature set in its entirety. Only if it
fails to do so, does it have the right to respond with a smaller set of the originally requested
features.
Return code (-ENOTSUP) does not necessarily mean that the requested features are unsupported. In this
case, the application should just assume that these features can be used without prior negotiations.
Parameters
port_id Port (ethdev) identifier
features Feature selection buffer
Returns
• (-EBUSY) if the port can't handle this in its current state;
• (-ENOTSUP) if the method itself is not supported by the PMD;
• (-ENODEV) if port_id is invalid;
• (-EINVAL) if features is NULL;
• (-EIO) if the device is removed;
• (0) on success

Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice
Set IP reassembly configuration parameters if the PMD supports IP reassembly offload. User should first
call rte_eth_ip_reassembly_capability_get() to check the maximum values supported by the PMD before
setting the configuration. The use of this API is mandatory to enable this feature and should be called
before rte_eth_dev_start().
In datapath, PMD cannot guarantee that IP reassembly is always successful. Hence, PMD shall register mbuf
dynamic field and dynamic flag using rte_eth_ip_reassembly_dynfield_register() to denote incomplete IP
reassembly. If dynfield is not successfully registered, error will be returned and IP reassembly offload
cannot be used.
Parameters

uint16_t rte_eth_rx_burst (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id, struct rte_mbuf ** rx_pkts, const uint16_t
nb_pkts) [inline], [static]
Retrieve a burst of input packets from a receive queue of an Ethernet device. The retrieved packets are
stored in rte_mbuf structures whose pointers are supplied in the rx_pkts array.
The rte_eth_rx_burst() function loops, parsing the Rx ring of the receive queue, up to nb_pkts packets,
and for each completed Rx descriptor in the ring, it performs the following operations:
• Initialize the rte_mbuf data structure associated with the Rx descriptor according to the information
provided by the NIC into that Rx descriptor.
• Store the rte_mbuf data structure into the next entry of the rx_pkts array.
• Replenish the Rx descriptor with a new rte_mbuf buffer allocated from the memory pool associated with
the receive queue at initialization time.
When retrieving an input packet that was scattered by the controller into multiple receive descriptors,
the rte_eth_rx_burst() function appends the associated rte_mbuf buffers to the first buffer of the
packet.
The rte_eth_rx_burst() function returns the number of packets actually retrieved, which is the number of
rte_mbuf data structures effectively supplied into the rx_pkts array. A return value equal to nb_pkts
indicates that the Rx queue contained at least rx_pkts packets, and this is likely to signify that other
received packets remain in the input queue. Applications implementing a "retrieve as much received
packets as possible" policy can check this specific case and keep invoking the rte_eth_rx_burst()
function until a value less than nb_pkts is returned.
This receive method has the following advantages:
• It allows a run-to-completion network stack engine to retrieve and to immediately process received
packets in a fast burst-oriented approach, avoiding the overhead of unnecessary intermediate packet
queue/dequeue operations.
• Conversely, it also allows an asynchronous-oriented processing method to retrieve bursts of received
packets and to immediately queue them for further parallel processing by another logical core, for
instance. However, instead of having received packets being individually queued by the driver, this
approach allows the caller of the rte_eth_rx_burst() function to queue a burst of retrieved packets at
a time and therefore dramatically reduce the cost of enqueue/dequeue operations per packet.
• It allows the rte_eth_rx_burst() function of the driver to take advantage of burst-oriented hardware
features (CPU cache, prefetch instructions, and so on) to minimize the number of CPU cycles per packet.
To summarize, the proposed receive API enables many burst-oriented optimizations in both synchronous and
asynchronous packet processing environments with no overhead in both cases.
Note
Some drivers using vector instructions require that nb_pkts is divisible by 4 or 8, depending on the
driver implementation.
The rte_eth_rx_burst() function does not provide any error notification to avoid the corresponding
overhead. As a hint, the upper-level application might check the status of the device link once being
systematically returned a 0 value for a given number of tries.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_id The index of the receive queue from which to retrieve input packets. The value must be in
the range [0, nb_rx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
rx_pkts The address of an array of pointers to rte_mbuf structures that must be large enough to store
nb_pkts pointers in it.
nb_pkts The maximum number of packets to retrieve. The value must be divisible by 8 in order to work
with any driver.
Returns
The number of packets actually retrieved, which is the number of pointers to rte_mbuf structures
effectively supplied to the rx_pkts array.

int rte_eth_rx_queue_count (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id) [inline], [static]
Get the number of used descriptors of a Rx queue
Since it's a dataplane function, no check is performed on port_id and queue_id. The caller must therefore
ensure that the port is enabled and the queue is configured and running.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_id The queue ID on the specific port.
Returns
The number of used descriptors in the specific queue, or:

int rte_eth_rx_descriptor_status (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id, uint16_t offset) [inline], [static]
Check the status of a Rx descriptor in the queue
It should be called in a similar context than the Rx function:
• on a dataplane core
• not concurrently on the same queue
Since it's a dataplane function, no check is performed on port_id and queue_id. The caller must therefore
ensure that the port is enabled and the queue is configured and running.
Note: accessing to a random descriptor in the ring may trigger cache misses and have a performance
impact.
Parameters
port_id A valid port identifier of the Ethernet device which.
queue_id A valid Rx queue identifier on this port.
offset The offset of the descriptor starting from tail (0 is the next packet to be received by the
driver).
Returns
• (RTE_ETH_RX_DESC_AVAIL): Descriptor is available for the hardware to receive a packet.
• (RTE_ETH_RX_DESC_DONE): Descriptor is done, it is filled by hw, but not yet processed by the driver
(i.e. in the receive queue).
• (RTE_ETH_RX_DESC_UNAVAIL): Descriptor is unavailable, either hold by the driver and not yet
returned to hw, or reserved by the hw.
• (-EINVAL) bad descriptor offset.
• (-ENOTSUP) if the device does not support this function.
• (-ENODEV) bad port or queue (only if compiled with debug).
Definition at line 6496 of file rte_ethdev.h.
int rte_eth_tx_descriptor_status (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id, uint16_t offset) [inline], [static]
Check the status of a Tx descriptor in the queue.
It should be called in a similar context than the Tx function:
• on a dataplane core
• not concurrently on the same queue
Since it's a dataplane function, no check is performed on port_id and queue_id. The caller must therefore
ensure that the port is enabled and the queue is configured and running.
Note: accessing to a random descriptor in the ring may trigger cache misses and have a performance
impact.
Parameters
port_id A valid port identifier of the Ethernet device which.
queue_id A valid Tx queue identifier on this port.
offset The offset of the descriptor starting from tail (0 is the place where the next packet will be
send).
Returns
• (RTE_ETH_TX_DESC_FULL) Descriptor is being processed by the hw, i.e. in the transmit queue.
• (RTE_ETH_TX_DESC_DONE) Hardware is done with this descriptor, it can be reused by the driver.
• (RTE_ETH_TX_DESC_UNAVAIL): Descriptor is unavailable, reserved by the driver or the hardware.
• (-EINVAL) bad descriptor offset.
• (-ENOTSUP) if the device does not support this function.
• (-ENODEV) bad port or queue (only if compiled with debug).

uint16_t rte_eth_tx_burst (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id, struct rte_mbuf ** tx_pkts, uint16_t nb_pkts)
[inline], [static]
Send a burst of output packets on a transmit queue of an Ethernet device.
The rte_eth_tx_burst() function is invoked to transmit output packets on the output queue queue_id of the
Ethernet device designated by its port_id. The nb_pkts parameter is the number of packets to send which
are supplied in the tx_pkts array of rte_mbuf structures, each of them allocated from a pool created with
rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(). The rte_eth_tx_burst() function loops, sending nb_pkts packets, up to the
number of transmit descriptors available in the Tx ring of the transmit queue. For each packet to send,
the rte_eth_tx_burst() function performs the following operations:
• Pick up the next available descriptor in the transmit ring.
• Free the network buffer previously sent with that descriptor, if any.
• Initialize the transmit descriptor with the information provided in the *rte_mbuf data structure.
In the case of a segmented packet composed of a list of rte_mbuf buffers, the rte_eth_tx_burst() function
uses several transmit descriptors of the ring.
The rte_eth_tx_burst() function returns the number of packets it actually sent. A return value equal to
nb_pkts means that all packets have been sent, and this is likely to signify that other output packets
could be immediately transmitted again. Applications that implement a "send as many packets to transmit
as possible" policy can check this specific case and keep invoking the rte_eth_tx_burst() function until
a value less than nb_pkts is returned.
It is the responsibility of the rte_eth_tx_burst() function to transparently free the memory buffers of
packets previously sent. This feature is driven by the tx_free_thresh value supplied to the
rte_eth_dev_configure() function at device configuration time. When the number of free Tx descriptors
drops below this threshold, the rte_eth_tx_burst() function must [attempt to] free the rte_mbuf buffers
of those packets whose transmission was effectively completed.
If the PMD is RTE_ETH_TX_OFFLOAD_MT_LOCKFREE capable, multiple threads can invoke this function
concurrently on the same Tx queue without SW lock.
See also
rte_eth_dev_info_get, struct rte_eth_txconf::offloads
rte_eth_tx_prepare to perform some prior checks or adjustments for offloads.
Note
This function must not modify mbufs (including packets data) unless the refcnt is 1. An exception is
the bonding PMD, which does not have "Tx prepare" support, in this case, mbufs may be modified.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_id The index of the transmit queue through which output packets must be sent. The value must be
in the range [0, nb_tx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
tx_pkts The address of an array of nb_pkts pointers to rte_mbuf structures which contain the output
packets.
nb_pkts The maximum number of packets to transmit.
Returns
The number of output packets actually stored in transmit descriptors of the transmit ring. The return
value can be less than the value of the tx_pkts parameter when the transmit ring is full or has been
filled up.

uint16_t rte_eth_tx_prepare (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id, struct rte_mbuf ** tx_pkts, uint16_t
nb_pkts) [inline], [static]
Process a burst of output packets on a transmit queue of an Ethernet device.
The rte_eth_tx_prepare() function is invoked to prepare output packets to be transmitted on the output
queue queue_id of the Ethernet device designated by its port_id. The nb_pkts parameter is the number of
packets to be prepared which are supplied in the tx_pkts array of rte_mbuf structures, each of them
allocated from a pool created with rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(). For each packet to send, the
rte_eth_tx_prepare() function performs the following operations:
• Check if packet meets devices requirements for Tx offloads.
• Check limitations about number of segments.
• Check additional requirements when debug is enabled.
• Update and/or reset required checksums when Tx offload is set for packet.
Since this function can modify packet data, provided mbufs must be safely writable (e.g. modified data
cannot be in shared segment).
The rte_eth_tx_prepare() function returns the number of packets ready to be sent. A return value equal to
nb_pkts means that all packets are valid and ready to be sent, otherwise stops processing on the first
invalid packet and leaves the rest packets untouched.
When this functionality is not implemented in the driver, all packets are are returned untouched.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device. The value must be a valid port ID.
queue_id The index of the transmit queue through which output packets must be sent. The value must be
in the range [0, nb_tx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
tx_pkts The address of an array of nb_pkts pointers to rte_mbuf structures which contain the output
packets.
nb_pkts The maximum number of packets to process.
Returns
The number of packets correct and ready to be sent. The return value can be less than the value of
the tx_pkts parameter when some packet doesn't meet devices requirements with rte_errno set
appropriately:
• EINVAL: offload flags are not correctly set
• ENOTSUP: the offload feature is not supported by the hardware
• ENODEV: if port_id is invalid (with debug enabled only)

uint16_t rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id, struct rte_eth_dev_tx_buffer * buffer)
[inline], [static]
Send any packets queued up for transmission on a port and HW queue
This causes an explicit flush of packets previously buffered via the rte_eth_tx_buffer() function. It
returns the number of packets successfully sent to the NIC, and calls the error callback for any unsent
packets. Unless explicitly set up otherwise, the default callback simply frees the unsent packets back to
the owning mempool.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_id The index of the transmit queue through which output packets must be sent. The value must be
in the range [0, nb_tx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
buffer Buffer of packets to be transmit.
Returns
The number of packets successfully sent to the Ethernet device. The error callback is called for any
packets which could not be sent.

__rte_always_inline uint16_t rte_eth_tx_buffer (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id, struct
rte_eth_dev_tx_buffer * buffer, struct rte_mbuf * tx_pkt) [static]
Buffer a single packet for future transmission on a port and queue
This function takes a single mbuf/packet and buffers it for later transmission on the particular port and
queue specified. Once the buffer is full of packets, an attempt will be made to transmit all the buffered
packets. In case of error, where not all packets can be transmitted, a callback is called with the unsent
packets as a parameter. If no callback is explicitly set up, the unsent packets are just freed back to
the owning mempool. The function returns the number of packets actually sent i.e. 0 if no buffer flush
occurred, otherwise the number of packets successfully flushed
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the Ethernet device.
queue_id The index of the transmit queue through which output packets must be sent. The value must be
in the range [0, nb_tx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
buffer Buffer used to collect packets to be sent.
tx_pkt Pointer to the packet mbuf to be sent.
Returns
0 = packet has been buffered for later transmission N > 0 = packet has been buffered, and the buffer
was subsequently flushed, causing N packets to be sent, and the error callback to be called for the
rest.

Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change, or be removed, without prior notice
Recycle used mbufs from a transmit queue of an Ethernet device, and move these mbufs into a mbuf ring for
a receive queue of an Ethernet device. This can bypass mempool path to save CPU cycles.
The rte_eth_recycle_mbufs() function loops, with rte_eth_rx_burst() and rte_eth_tx_burst() functions,
freeing Tx used mbufs and replenishing Rx descriptors. The number of recycling mbufs depends on the
request of Rx mbuf ring, with the constraint of enough used mbufs from Tx mbuf ring.
For each recycling mbufs, the rte_eth_recycle_mbufs() function performs the following operations:
• Copy used rte_mbuf buffer pointers from Tx mbuf ring into Rx mbuf ring.
• Replenish the Rx descriptors with the recycling rte_mbuf mbufs freed from the Tx mbuf ring.
This function spilts Rx and Tx path with different callback functions. The callback function
recycle_tx_mbufs_reuse is for Tx driver. The callback function recycle_rx_descriptors_refill is for Rx
driver. rte_eth_recycle_mbufs() can support the case that Rx Ethernet device is different from Tx
Ethernet device.
It is the responsibility of users to select the Rx/Tx queue pair to recycle mbufs. Before call this
function, users must call rte_eth_recycle_rxq_info_get function to retrieve selected Rx queue
information.
See also
rte_eth_recycle_rxq_info_get, struct rte_eth_recycle_rxq_info
Currently, the rte_eth_recycle_mbufs() function can support to feed 1 Rx queue from 2 Tx queues in the
same thread. Do not pair the Rx queue and Tx queue in different threads, in order to avoid memory error
rewriting.
Parameters
rx_port_id Port identifying the receive side.
rx_queue_id The index of the receive queue identifying the receive side. The value must be in the
range [0, nb_rx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
tx_port_id Port identifying the transmit side.
tx_queue_id The index of the transmit queue identifying the transmit side. The value must be in the
range [0, nb_tx_queue - 1] previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
recycle_rxq_info A pointer to a structure of type rte_eth_recycle_rxq_info which contains the
information of the Rx queue mbuf ring.
Returns
The number of recycling mbufs.

Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice
Get supported header protocols to split on Rx.
When a packet type is announced to be split, it must be supported by the PMD. For instance, if eth-ipv4,
eth-ipv4-udp is announced, the PMD must return the following packet types for these packets:
• Ether/IPv4 -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER | RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4
• Ether/IPv4/UDP -> RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER | RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4 | RTE_PTYPE_L4_UDP
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the device.
ptypes An array pointer to store supported protocol headers, allocated by caller. These ptypes are
composed with RTE_PTYPE_*.
num Size of the array pointed by param ptypes.
Returns
• (>=0) Number of supported ptypes. If the number of types exceeds num, only num entries will be
filled into the ptypes array, but the full count of supported ptypes will be returned.
• (-ENOTSUP) if header protocol is not supported by device.
• (-ENODEV) if port_id invalid.
• (-EINVAL) if bad parameter.
__rte_experimental int rte_eth_tx_queue_count (uint16_t port_id, uint16_t queue_id) [inline], [static]
Warning
EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change, or be removed, without prior notice.
Get the number of used descriptors of a Tx queue.
This function retrieves the number of used descriptors of a transmit queue. Applications can use this API
in the fast path to inspect Tx queue occupancy and take appropriate actions based on the available free
descriptors. An example action could be implementing Random Early Discard (RED).
Since it's a fast-path function, no check is performed on port_id and queue_id. The caller must therefore
ensure that the port is enabled and the queue is configured and running.
Parameters
port_id The port identifier of the device.
queue_id The index of the transmit queue. The value must be in the range [0, nb_tx_queue - 1]
previously supplied to rte_eth_dev_configure().
Returns
The number of used descriptors in the specific queue, or:
• (-ENODEV) if port_id is invalid. Enabled only when RTE_ETHDEV_DEBUG_TX is enabled.
• (-EINVAL) if queue_id is invalid. Enabled only when RTE_ETHDEV_DEBUG_TX is enabled.
• (-ENOTSUP) if the device does not support this function.
Note
This function is designed for fast-path use.
There is no requirement to call this function before rte_eth_tx_burst() invocation.
Utilize this function exclusively when the caller needs to determine the used queue count across all
descriptors of a Tx queue. If the use case only involves checking the status of a specific descriptor
slot, opt for rte_eth_tx_descriptor_status() instead.
