✨ rte_graph_feature_arc_worker.h — Library Functions Manual, section 3 ✨

okay bestie sit DOWN because we're doing the header file of header files 💖 this is rte_graph_feature_arc_worker.h, it lives in the Library Functions Manual (that's the manual name, section 3, iykyk), and it is entirely about the fast path of graph feature arcs. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

rte_graph_feature_arc_worker.h — yes that's the whole name. iconic, brief, unbothered.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

First things first, the includes, literally copy-paste these:

#include <stddef.h>
#include <rte_graph_feature_arc.h>
#include <rte_bitops.h>
#include <rte_mbuf.h>
#include <rte_mbuf_dyn.h>

👑 Data Structures

the squad of structs showing up in this file:

struct rte_graph_feature_arc
struct rte_feature_arc_main
struct rte_graph_feature_data
struct rte_graph_feature_arc_mbuf_dynfields

🎀 Macros

the four macros, right there in the synopsis:

#define RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_ARC_DYNFIELD_NAME → '__rte_graph_feature_arc_mbuf_dynfield'
#define RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_DATA_SIZE_LOG2 3
#define RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_DATA_NUM_PER_FEATURE(arc)
#define RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_TO_FEATURE_DATA(arc, feature, index)

💜 Typedefs

just the one, but she's important:

typedef struct rte_feature_arc_main rte_graph_feature_arc_main_t

🌈 Detailed Description 🌈

⚠️ Warning — EXPERIMENTAL: every single function in this file can be changed or removed without prior notice. fr fr. do not get attached, she is ✨unstable✨ and that is on purpose.

so basically: this is the Fast path Graph feature arc API 💫

Definition in file rte_graph_feature_arc_worker.h.

💖 Macro Definition Documentation 💖

`#define RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_ARC_DYNFIELD_NAME`

'__rte_graph_feature_arc_mbuf_dynfield'

okay so this one is the name of the dynamic mbuf field offset that gets registered over in rte_graph_feature_arc_init() 👀 so when you see that dynfield name floating around in your mbufs, you know exactly who put it there.

Definition at line 262 of file rte_graph_feature_arc_worker.h.

`#define RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_DATA_SIZE_LOG2 3`

literally just log2(sizeof (struct rte_graph_feature_data)) — the log squared business for sizing, nothing scary, it's giving "trust the math" 🧮✨

Definition at line 265 of file rte_graph_feature_arc_worker.h.

`#define RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_DATA_NUM_PER_FEATURE( arc)`

Value:

(arc->feature_size >> RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_DATA_SIZE_LOG2)

this is the number of struct rte_graph_feature_data per feature 💖 like how many feature-data slots each feature gets to claim. divide by shifting, slay.

Definition at line 268 of file rte_graph_feature_arc_worker.h.

`#define RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_TO_FEATURE_DATA( arc, feature, index)`

Value:

((rte_graph_feature_data_t)                 \
 ((RTE_GRAPH_FEATURE_DATA_NUM_PER_FEATURE(arc) * (feature)) + (index)))

this is the glow-up conversion: get a rte_graph_feature_data_t from a rte_graph_feature_t ✨ you hand it the arc, the feature and the index, and it hands you back the feature-data. main character energy honestly.

🫶 Typedef Documentation 🫶

`typedef struct rte_feature_arc_main rte_graph_feature_arc_main_t`

Feature arc main object 👑

she holds all feature arcs created by application — every single one, no feature arc left behind, that's the vibe.

💫 FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 💫

🌸 `rte_graph_feature_arc_mbuf_dynfields_get`

__rte_experimental __rte_always_inline struct
    rte_graph_feature_arc_mbuf_dynfields *
    rte_graph_feature_arc_mbuf_dynfields_get (struct rte_mbuf * mbuf, const
    int dyn_offset) [static]

okay bestie, this one gets you the dynfield offset for the feature-arc-specific fields living inside the mbuf 🔥

So the feature arc mbuf dynamic field is separate so that it can use mbuf->dynfield2 instead of dynfield1. not me being all about that dynfield2 life 💅

This arc-specific dynamic offset gets registered as part of rte_graph_feature_arc_init() and then copied into every arc for fast path access. the whole point? it stops nodes from having to maintain a dynamic offset themselves for the feature arc, and if we're lucky the field gets allocated from mbuf->dynfield2. if we're not lucky, then every node has to maintain at least two dynamic offsets in the fast path 😭

Parameters

mbuf — pointer to mbuf
dyn_offset — retrieved from arc->mbuf_dyn_offset

Returns

NULL — on failure
Non-NULL pointer — on success ✨

Defined at line 307 of file rte_graph_feature_arc_worker.h.
