Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ odp_event_type_t

enum odp_event_type_t

Event type.

Event type specifies purpose and general format of an event. It can be checked with odp_event_type() or odp_event_types(). Each event type has functions (e.g. odp_buffer_from_event()) to convert between the generic event handle (odp_event_t) and the type specific handle (e.g. odp_buffer_t). Results are undefined, if conversion function of a wrong event type is used. Application cannot change event type by chaining conversion functions.

List of event types:

  • ODP_EVENT_BUFFER
    • Buffer event (odp_buffer_t) for simple data storage and message passing
  • ODP_EVENT_PACKET
    • Packet event (odp_packet_t) containing packet data and plenty of packet processing related metadata
  • ODP_EVENT_TIMEOUT
    • Timeout event (odp_timeout_t) from a timer
  • ODP_EVENT_IPSEC_STATUS
  • ODP_EVENT_PACKET_VECTOR
    • Vector of packet events (odp_packet_t) as odp_packet_vector_t
  • ODP_EVENT_PACKET_TX_COMPL
    • Packet Tx completion event (odp_packet_tx_compl_t) generated as a result of a Packet Tx completion.
  • ODP_EVENT_DMA_COMPL
    • DMA completion event (odp_dma_compl_t) indicates that a DMA transfer has finished
  • ODP_EVENT_ML_COMPL
    • ML completion event (odp_ml_compl_t) indicates that an ML operation has finished

◆ odp_event_subtype_t

enum odp_event_subtype_t

Event subtype.

Event subtype expands event type specification by providing more detailed purpose and format of an event. It can be checked with odp_event_subtype() or odp_event_types(). Each event subtype may define specific functions (e.g. odp_ipsec_packet_from_event()) to convert between the generic event handle (odp_event_t) and event type specific handle (e.g. odp_packet_t). When subtype is known, these subtype specific functions should be preferred over the event type general function (e.g. odp_packet_from_event()). Results are undefined, if conversion function of a wrong event subtype is used. Application cannot change event subtype by chaining conversion functions.

List of event subtypes:

  • ODP_EVENT_PACKET_BASIC
    • Packet event (odp_packet_t) with basic packet metadata
  • ODP_EVENT_PACKET_COMP
    • Packet event (odp_packet_t) generated as a result of a compression/ decompression operation. It contains compression specific metadata in addition to the basic packet metadata.
  • ODP_EVENT_PACKET_CRYPTO
    • Packet event (odp_packet_t) generated as a result of a Crypto operation. It contains crypto specific metadata in addition to the basic packet metadata.
  • ODP_EVENT_PACKET_IPSEC
    • Packet event (odp_packet_t) generated as a result of an IPsec operation. It contains IPSEC specific metadata in addition to the basic packet metadata.
  • ODP_EVENT_NO_SUBTYPE
    • An event type does not have any subtypes defined
  • ODP_EVENT_ML_COMPL_LOAD
    • ML completion event (odp_ml_compl_t) that contains results from a completed model load or unload operation.
  • ODP_EVENT_ML_COMPL_RUN
    • ML completion event (odp_ml_compl_t) that contains results from a completed model run operation.

Get printable value for an odp_event_t.

Parameters
hdlodp_event_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_event_t handle.
Examples
odp_bench_timer.c.

◆ odp_event_is_valid()

int odp_event_is_valid ( odp_event_t  event)

Check that event is valid.

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

Parameters

Return values
1Event handle represents a valid event.
0Event handle does not represent a valid event.
Examples
odp_bench_buffer.c.

◆ odp_event_free()

void odp_event_free ( odp_event_t  event)

Free event.

Parameters
eventEvent handle
Examples
ipsec_api/odp_ipsec.c, odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_bench_packet.c, odp_bench_pktio_sp.c, odp_cpu_bench.c, odp_dma_perf.c, odp_dmafwd.c, odp_ipsecfwd.c, odp_l2fwd.c, odp_l2fwd_perf.c, odp_packet_dump.c, odp_packet_gen.c, odp_ping.c, odp_pktio_ordered.c, odp_pktio_perf.c, odp_queue_perf.c, odp_sched_latency.c, odp_sched_perf.c, odp_sched_pktio.c, odp_stress.c, odp_timer_accuracy.c, odp_timer_perf.c, odp_timer_simple.c, and odp_timer_stress.c.

◆ odp_event_free_multi()

void odp_event_free_multi ( const odp_event_t  event[],

Otherwise like odp_event_free(), but frees multiple events to their originating pools.

Parameters
eventArray of event handles
numNumber of events to free
Examples
odp_bench_buffer.c, odp_bench_packet.c, odp_l2fwd.c, odp_sched_perf.c, odp_sched_pktio.c, and odp_simple_pipeline.c.

◆ odp_event_free_sp()

void odp_event_free_sp ( const odp_event_t  event[],
int  num 
)

Free multiple events to the same pool.

Otherwise like odp_event_free_multi(), but all events must be from the same originating pool.

Parameters
eventArray of event handles
numNumber of events to free
Examples
odp_bench_buffer.c, and odp_bench_packet.c.

◆ odp_event_flow_id()

uint32_t odp_event_flow_id ( odp_event_t  event)

Event flow id value.

Returns the flow id value set in the event. Usage of flow id enables scheduler to maintain multiple synchronization contexts per single queue. For example, when multiple flows are assigned to an atomic queue, events of a single flow (events from the same queue with the same flow id value) are guaranteed to be processed by only single thread at a time. For packets received through packet input initial event flow id will be same as flow hash generated for packets. The hash algorithm and therefore the resulting flow id value is implementation specific. Use pktio API configuration options to select the fields used for initial flow id calculation. For all other events initial flow id is zero An application can change event flow id using odp_event_flow_id_set().

Parameters
eventEvent handle
Returns
Flow id of the event
Examples
odp_bench_buffer.c.

◆ odp_event_flow_id_set()

void odp_event_flow_id_set ( odp_event_t  event,
uint32_t  flow_id 
)

Set event flow id value.

Store the event flow id for the event and sets the flow id flag. When scheduler is configured as flow aware, scheduled queue synchronization will be based on this id within each queue. When scheduler is configured as flow unaware, event flow id is ignored by the implementation. The value of flow id must be less than the number of flows configured in the scheduler.

Parameters
eventEvent handle
flow_idFlow event id to be set.
Examples
odp_bench_buffer.c.
