2017-11-29Configure vat-plugin-path and vat-plugin-name-filterDave Barach1-1/+4
To facilitate in-tree plugin API testing, via the "binary-api..." debug CLI command. Change-Id: If7ee88a6a0dbc8e8f4555cb41e259db24e378a64 Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>
2017-11-18Call a plugin init function by nameDave Barach1-0/+26
Use this macro to arrange init function ordering between friend plugins. Fails in the usual manner if the plugin doesn't exist, or if the init function symbol is AWOL. clib_error_t * thisplug_init (vlib_main_t *vm) { clib_error_t *error = 0; if ((error = vlib_plugin_init_function ("otherplug.so", otherplug_init))) return error; <etc> return error; } VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION(thisplug_init); Change-Id: Ideecaf46bc0b1546e85096e54be8ddef87946565 Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>

2017-02-03Plugin infrastructure improvementsDamjan Marion1-3/+28
This patch replaces requirement for vlib_plugin_register function in the plugin so file and introduces new macro: VLIB_PLUGIN_REGISTER () = { .version = "version string", .version_required = "requred version", .default_disabled = 1, .early_init = "early_init_function_name", }; Plugin will nor be loaded if .default_disabled is set to 1 unless explicitely enabled in startup.conf. If .verstion_required is set, plugin will not be loaded if there is version mismatch between plugin and vpp. This can be bypassed by setting "skip-version-check" for specific plugin. If .early-init string is present, plugin loader will try to resolve this specific symbol in the plugin namespace and make a function call. Following startup.conf configuration is added: plugins { path /path/to/plugin/directory plugin ila_plugin.so { enable skip-version-check } plugin acl_plugin.so { disable } } Change-Id: I706c691dd34d94ffe9e02b59831af8859a95f061 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>
