Function Documentation

odp_buffer_from_event()

odp_buffer_t odp_buffer_from_event

(

odp_event_t

ev

)

Get buffer handle from event.

Converts an ODP_EVENT_BUFFER type event to a buffer.

Parameters

ev	Event handle

Returns

Buffer handle

See also

odp_event_type()

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_sched_latency.c, and odp_sched_perf.c.

odp_buffer_from_event_multi()

void odp_buffer_from_event_multi	(	odp_buffer_t	buf[],
		const odp_event_t	ev[],
		int	num
	)

Convert multiple buffer events to buffer handles.

All events must be of type ODP_EVENT_BUFFER.

Parameters

[out]	buf	Buffer handle array for output
	ev	Array of event handles to convert
	num	Number of buffers and events

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c.

odp_buffer_to_event()

odp_event_t odp_buffer_to_event

(

odp_buffer_t

buf

)

Convert buffer handle to event.

Parameters

buf	Buffer handle

Returns

Event handle

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_bench_event_vector.c, odp_bench_packet.c, odp_bench_queue.c, odp_queue_perf.c, odp_sched_latency.c, and odp_sched_perf.c.

odp_buffer_to_event_multi()

void odp_buffer_to_event_multi	(	const odp_buffer_t	buf[],
		odp_event_t	ev[],
		int	num
	)

Convert multiple buffer handles to events.

Parameters

	buf	Array of buffer handles to convert
[out]	ev	Event handle array for output
	num	Number of buffers and events

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c.

odp_buffer_addr()

void* odp_buffer_addr

(

odp_buffer_t

buf

)

Buffer start address.

Parameters

buf	Buffer handle

Returns

Buffer start address

Examples

ipsec_api/odp_ipsec.c, ipsec_crypto/odp_ipsec.c, odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_dmafwd.c, odp_sched_latency.c, and odp_sched_perf.c.

odp_buffer_size()

uint32_t odp_buffer_size

(

odp_buffer_t

buf

)

Buffer maximum data size.

Parameters

buf	Buffer handle

Returns

Buffer maximum data size

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c, and odp_sched_perf.c.

odp_buffer_user_area()

void* odp_buffer_user_area

(

odp_buffer_t

buf

)

Buffer user area.

Returns pointer to the user area associated with the buffer. Size of the area is fixed and defined in buffer pool parameters.

Parameters

buf	Buffer handle

Returns

Pointer to the user area of the buffer

Return values

NULL	The buffer does not have user area

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c, and odp_pool_latency.c.

odp_buffer_is_valid()

int odp_buffer_is_valid

(

odp_buffer_t

buf

)

Check that buffer is valid.

This function can be used for debugging purposes to check if a buffer handle represents a valid buffer. The level of error checks depends on the implementation. The call should not crash if the buffer handle is corrupted.

Parameters

buf	Buffer handle

Return values

1	Buffer handle represents a valid buffer.
0	Buffer handle does not represent a valid buffer.

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c, and odp_sched_latency.c.

odp_buffer_pool()

odp_pool_t odp_buffer_pool

(

odp_buffer_t

buf

)

Buffer pool of the buffer.

Parameters

buf	Buffer handle

Returns

Handle of buffer pool buffer belongs to

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c.

odp_buffer_alloc()

odp_buffer_t odp_buffer_alloc

(

odp_pool_t

pool

)

Buffer alloc.

Allocates a buffer from the pool. Returns ODP_BUFFER_INVALID when a buffer can not be allocated.

Parameters

pool	Pool handle

Returns

Handle of allocated buffer

Return values

ODP_BUFFER_INVALID

Buffer could not be allocated

Examples

ipsec_api/odp_ipsec.c, ipsec_crypto/odp_ipsec.c, odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_bench_packet.c, odp_bench_queue.c, odp_debug.c, odp_dmafwd.c, odp_queue_perf.c, odp_sched_latency.c, and odp_sched_perf.c.

odp_buffer_alloc_multi()

int odp_buffer_alloc_multi	(	odp_pool_t	pool,
		odp_buffer_t	buf[],
		int	num
	)

Allocate multiple buffers.

Otherwise like odp_buffer_alloc(), but allocates multiple buffers from a pool.

Parameters

	pool	Pool handle
[out]	buf	Array of buffer handles for output
	num	Maximum number of buffers to allocate

Returns

Number of buffers actually allocated (0 ... num)

Return values

<0	on failure

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_bench_event_vector.c, odp_pool_latency.c, odp_pool_perf.c, and odp_sched_latency.c.

odp_buffer_free()

void odp_buffer_free

(

odp_buffer_t

buf

)

Buffer free.

Parameters

buf	Buffer handle

Examples

ipsec_api/odp_ipsec.c, ipsec_crypto/odp_ipsec.c, odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_debug.c, and odp_dmafwd.c.

odp_buffer_free_multi()

void odp_buffer_free_multi	(	const odp_buffer_t	buf[],
		int	num
	)

Free multiple buffers.

Otherwise like odp_buffer_free(), but frees multiple buffers to their originating pools.

Parameters

buf	Array of buffer handles
num	Number of buffer handles to free

Examples

odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_pool_latency.c, odp_pool_perf.c, and odp_sched_latency.c.

odp_buffer_print()

void odp_buffer_print

(

odp_buffer_t

buf

)

Print buffer metadata to STDOUT.

Parameters

buf	Buffer handle

Examples

odp_debug.c.

odp_buffer_to_u64()

uint64_t odp_buffer_to_u64

(

odp_buffer_t

hdl

)

Get printable value for an odp_buffer_t.

Parameters

hdl	odp_buffer_t handle to be printed

Returns

uint64_t value that can be used to print/display this handle

Note

This routine is intended to be used for diagnostic purposes to enable applications to generate a printable value that represents an odp_buffer_t handle.
