rte_gro_param(3)

📦 version 26.03, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 rte_gro_param — the struct that sets up your GRO era 💖

okay bestie, listen up, because this one is from the DPDK Library Functions Manual and it's genuinely iconic. the name of the whole thing is rte_gro_param, no cap. it's a struct, and it's the one holding all the deets you need to spin up GRO context objects or to hand rte_gro_reassemble_burst() the parameters you decided on. main character energy fr fr 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <rte_gro.h>

🦋 Data Fields

  • uint64_t gro_types
  • uint16_t max_flow_num
  • uint16_t max_item_per_flow
  • uint16_t socket_id

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

so this is the structure used to create GRO context objects, and it's also the structure used to pass application-determined parameters to rte_gro_reassemble_burst(). two jobs, one struct, we love a multi-hyphenate 👑

it lives at definition line 49 of the file rte_gro.h. remember that, there's basically a quiz later (there is not a quiz, but still 💅).

🧚 Field Documentation 🧚

💜 uint64_t gro_types

the GRO types you actually want. that's it, that's the field. your desired GRO types, periodt.

definition line 50 of file rte_gro.h.

🍓 uint16_t max_flow_num

the max flow number. the ceiling. the limit. the "no more flows than this, bestie" number.

definition line 52 of file rte_gro.h.

🌈 uint16_t max_item_per_flow

max packet number per flow. per. flow. so like, each individual flow gets this many packets max. not the total, just per flow. important distinction, don't come for me 🙈

definition line 54 of file rte_gro.h.

⭐ uint16_t socket_id

the socket index used for allocating GRO-related data structures — think reassembly tables and friends. 🫶

heads up: when you use rte_gro_reassemble_burst(), applications don't need to set this value. so if that's your path, you can lowkey just leave it. no stress. 😌
