rte_eth_switch_info(3)

💖 rte_eth_switch_info(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a library functions manual page for rte_eth_switch_info — yes it's a struct, yes it's from DPDK, and yes we're gonna get you obsessed with it. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

rte_eth_switch_info — the struct that holds all the Ethernet device associated switch information, and she is serving main character energy fr fr 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <rte_ethdev.h>

🎀 Data Fields

const char * name
uint16_t domain_id
uint16_t port_id
uint16_t rx_domain

like… four fields, four besties, we love a tidy little struct 💖

👑 Detailed Description 👑

Ethernet device associated switch information. that's the whole vibe. it tells you which switch this Ethernet device is hanging out with. ✨

🧚 Field Documentation 🧚

🍓 const char* name

switch name. literally just the name of the switch, no cap. 🏷️

Definition at line 1732 of file rte_ethdev.h.

🌈 uint16_t domain_id

switch domain ID. her little domain number, her identifier, her whole identity. 👑

Definition at line 1733 of file rte_ethdev.h.

🦋 uint16_t port_id

Mapping to the devices physical switch port as enumerated from the perspective of the embedded interconnect/switch.

okay so here's the thing — for an SR-IOV enabled device, this might correspond to the VF_ID of each virtual function. but be careful babe: each driver should explicitly define the mapping of switch port identifier to that physical interconnect/switch. it's giving "don't assume, read your driver's docs". 🙈

Definition at line 1741 of file rte_ethdev.h.

💜 uint16_t rx_domain

Shared Rx queue sub-domain boundary. the rules are strict, bestie: only ports in the same Rx domain and the same switch domain can share an Rx queue. no mixing, no vibes-crossing, periodt. ✋

this field is valid only if the device advertised the RTE_ETH_DEV_CAPA_RXQ_SHARE capability. if it didn't, this field is doing nothing for you. 💀
