rte_flow_port_attr(3)

📦 version 26.03, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💅 rte_flow_port_attr(3) — the flow engine's resource settings, bestie

okay so this is a page from the DPDK Library Functions Manual and it's literally the struct that tells the flow engine how many of each thing to set up. yes it's a struct not a function, don't come for me, the manual just names it like that 🫶

#include <rte_flow.h>

✨ Data Fields ✨

here's the whole cast, main character energy only:

  • uint32_t nb_counters
  • uint32_t nb_aging_objects
  • uint32_t nb_meters
  • uint32_t nb_conn_tracks
  • uint16_t host_port_id
  • uint32_t nb_quotas
  • uint32_t flags

🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

⚠️ Warning — EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice. so like… don't get too attached bestie 😭 it could get a glow-up at any time.

this struct is the flow engine resources settings. and here's the iconic bit: the zero value means on demand resource allocations only. so if you zero it out, nothing's pre-reserved — it just gets allocated when you actually need it. lowkey efficient 💅

uint16_t host_port_id

Port to base shared objects on. note the type bestie — it's uint16_t, not uint32_t like the rest, she's built different ✨

Definition at line 5612 of file rte_flow.h.

uint32_t nb_quotas

Maximum number of quota actions. the ceiling, the limit, the "no more than this" of it all.
