okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for rte_node_mbuf_dynfield.h, straight outta section 3 (the Library Functions Manual, if you're keeping track 👑). this is where DPDK keeps the receipts for the rte_node-specific mbuf dynamic field region. let's get into it, no cap ✨

🔥 Detailed Description 🔥

Warning 🚨 EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice. it's giving "we're still cooking", so don't build your whole personality on it being stable, bestie.

Defines rte_node specific mbuf dynamic field region [rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_t] which can be used by both DPDK built-in and out-of-tree nodes for storing per-mbuf fields for graph walk. ✨

🧚 Typedef Documentation 🧚

typedef struct rte_node_mbuf_overload_fields rte_node_mbuf_overload_fields_t

Node mbuf overloadable data. 💫

Out-of-tree nodes can repurpose overloadable fields via rte_node_mbuf_overload_fields_get(mbuf). Overloadable fields are not preserved and typically can be used with-in two adjacent nodes in the graph. (two adjacent nodes only, babe — that's the whole bit 🫶)

typedef struct rte_node_mbuf_dynfield rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_t

rte_node specific mbuf dynamic field structure [rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_t]. 💖

It holds two types of fields:

1. Persistent fields: Fields which are preserved across nodes during graph walk.
   • Eg: rx/tx interface etc
2. Overloadable fields: Fields which can be repurposed by two adjacent nodes.

⭐ Function Documentation ⭐

__rte_experimental __rte_always_inline rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_t * rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_get (struct rte_mbuf * m, const int offset) [static]

For a given mbuf and dynamic offset, return pointer to rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_t *. literally hand you the pointer, iconic behavior 🌈

Parameters

• m — Mbuf
• offset — Dynamic offset returned by rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_register()

Returns

Pointer to node specific mbuf dynamic field structure.

Definition at line 107 of file rte_node_mbuf_dynfield.h.

---

__rte_experimental __rte_always_inline rte_node_mbuf_overload_fields_t * rte_node_mbuf_overload_fields_get (struct rte_mbuf * m, const int offset) [static]

For a given mbuf and dynamic offset, return pointer to overloadable fields. Nodes can typecast returned pointer to reuse for their own purpose. (typecast away, bestie, it's your world 💅)

Parameters

• m — Mbuf
• offset — Dynamic offset returned by rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_register()

Returns

Pointer to node mbuf overloadable fields.

Definition at line 125 of file rte_node_mbuf_dynfield.h.

__rte_experimental int rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_register (void )

Register rte_node specific common mbuf dynamic field region. Can be called in rte_node_register()->init() function to save offset in node->ctx. 🎯

In process() function, node->ctx can be passed to:

• rte_node_mbuf_dynfield_get(mbuf, offset)
• rte_node_mbuf_overload_fields_get(mbuf, offset)

Can be called multiple times by any number of nodes in init() function. the way it's just chill about repeat calls, obsessed 🥰

• Very first call registers dynamic field and returns offset.
• Subsequent calls return same offset.

Returns

<0 on error: rte_errno set to one of:

• ENOMEM - no memory >=0 on success: dynamic field offset
