💖 NAME

rte_flow_template_table_attr — bestie, it's the attributes struct for a flow template table 💅

This one lives in the Library Functions Manual, so you already know it's a C API thing, not a command you type at a shell. (iykyk 🫶)

✨ SYNOPSIS

#include <rte_flow.h>

📦 Data Fields

  • struct rte_flow_attr flow_attr
  • uint32_t nb_flows
  • uint32_t specialize
  • enum rte_flow_table_insertion_type insertion_type
  • enum rte_flow_table_hash_func hash_func

🎀 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

⚠️ Warning — EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice. So like… don't build your whole personality on it, okay? 😭 It could shift under you.

It's the table attributes struct. That's the vibe. 🦋

Defined at line 5953 of file rte_flow.h.

🦋 FIELD DOCUMENTATION

🌸 struct rte_flow_attr flow_attr

The flow attributes that get used in every single rule generated from this table. Each one. All of them. No skipping ✨

Defined at line 5957 of file rte_flow.h.

🌟 uint32_t nb_flows

The maximum number of flow rules this table can hold. That's the ceiling, bestie 🎀

Defined at line 5961 of file rte_flow.h.

💫 uint32_t specialize

Optional hint flags for driver optimization 🧚

Like, the effect can vary between different drivers — so it's giving "different strokes for different drivers," fr fr. And here's the important part: the functionality must not rely on the hints. They are hints. Only hints. 🙈

The value is composed with RTE_FLOW_TABLE_SPECIALIZE_* based on your application's design choices.

💀 And if you misuse the hints? They may mislead the driver, which may result in an undefined behavior. So be normal about it.

Defined at line 5970 of file rte_flow.h.

👑 enum rte_flow_table_insertion_type insertion_type

The insertion type for the flow rules. Periodt.

Defined at line 5974 of file rte_flow.h.

🌈 enum rte_flow_table_hash_func hash_func

The hash calculation function used for the packet matching. Lowkey the main character of the matching process ✨

Defined at line 5978 of file rte_flow.h.
