As result of + * lookup operation into the current table, one of the table entries (or the + * default table entry, in case of lookup miss) is identified to provide the + * actions to be executed on the current packet and the associated action + * meta-data. The behavior of user actions is defined through the configurable + * table action handler, while the reserved actions define the next hop for the + * current packet (either another table, an output port or packet drop) and are + * handled transparently by the framework. + * + * <B>Initialization and run-time flows.</B> Once all the pipeline elements + * (input ports, tables, output ports) have been created, input ports connected + * to tables, table action handlers configured, tables populated with the + * initial set of entries (actions and action meta-data) and input ports + * enabled, the pipeline runs automatically, pushing packets from input ports + * to tables and output ports. At each table, the identified user actions are + * being executed, resulting in action meta-data (stored in the table entry) + * and packet meta-data (stored with the packet descriptor) being updated. The + * pipeline tables can have further updates and input ports can be disabled or + * enabled later on as required. + * + * <B>Multi-core scaling.</B> Typically, each CPU core will run its own + * pipeline instance. Complex application-level pipelines can be implemented by + * interconnecting multiple CPU core-level pipelines in tree-like topologies, + * as the same port devices (e.g. SW rings) can serve as output ports for the + * pipeline running on CPU core A, as well as input ports for the pipeline + * running on CPU core B. This approach enables the application development + * using the pipeline (CPU cores connected serially), cluster/run-to-completion + * (CPU cores connected in parallel) or mixed (pipeline of CPU core clusters) + * programming models. + * + * <B>Thread safety.</B> It is possible to have multiple pipelines running on + * the same CPU core, but it is not allowed (for thread safety reasons) to have + * multiple CPU cores running the same pipeline instance. + * + ***/ + +#include <stdint.h> + +#include <rte_port.h> +#include <rte_table.h> + +struct rte_mbuf; + +/* + * Pipeline + * + */ +/** Opaque data type for pipeline */ +struct rte_pipeline; + +/** Parameters for pipeline creation */ +struct rte_pipeline_params { + /** Pipeline name */ + const char *name; + + /** CPU socket ID where memory for the pipeline and its elements (ports + and tables) should be allocated */ + int socket_id; + + /** Offset within packet meta-data to port_id to be used by action + "Send packet to output port read from packet meta-data".
