Detailed Description

A singleton class that encapsulates DPDK KNI module initialization and holds the list of KniDevice instances. As it's a singleton, it has only one active instance doesn't have a public c'tor.

Member Enumeration Documentation

KniCallbackType

enum pcpp::KniDeviceList::KniCallbackType

Various callback types supported by KNI device

Enumerator
CALLBACK_MTU	KniDevice::KniIoctlCallbacks::change_mtu and KniDevice::KniOldIoctlCallbacks::change_mtu callback
CALLBACK_LINK	KniDevice::KniIoctlCallbacks::config_network_if and KniDevice::KniOldIoctlCallbacks::config_network_if callback
CALLBACK_MAC	KniDevice::KniIoctlCallbacks::config_mac_address callback
CALLBACK_PROMISC	KniDevice::KniIoctlCallbacks::config_promiscusity callback

KniCallbackVersion

enum pcpp::KniDeviceList::KniCallbackVersion

Callback related constants for KNI device

Enumerator
CALLBACKS_NEW	Reports that DPDK supports only KniDevice::KniIoctlCallbacks callback structure
CALLBACKS_OLD	Reports that DPDK supports only KniDevice::KniOldIoctlCallbacks callback structure

Member Function Documentation

callbackVersion()

static KniCallbackVersion pcpp::KniDeviceList::callbackVersion ( )

static

Returns KniCallbackVersion::CALLBACKS_NEW or KniCallbackVersion::CALLBACKS_OLD based on DPDK version used

Note

MT SAFE

createDevice()

KniDevice* pcpp::KniDeviceList::createDevice	(	const KniDevice::KniDeviceConfiguration &	config,
		const size_t	mempoolSize
	)

Factory method for KNI devices. Newly created device is remembered under portId and name provided in config and can be found later by them. If KNI device is not destroyed explicitly thru KniDeviceList::destroyDevice then it will be destroyed implicitly by the time application exits.

Warning

NOT MT SAFE

Parameters

[in]	config	KNI device configuration structure
[in]	mempoolSize	Size of packet mempool used by this device

Returns

Pointer to new KNI device or NULL in case of error

getDeviceByName()

KniDevice* pcpp::KniDeviceList::getDeviceByName

(

const std::string &

name

)

Returns KNI device with specified name.

Note

MT SAFE if createDevice or destroyDevice is not called concurrently

Parameters

[in]

name

Name of KNI device to find

Returns

Pointer to KNI device or NULL if device not found

getDeviceByPort()

KniDevice* pcpp::KniDeviceList::getDeviceByPort

(

const uint16_t

portId

)

Returns KNI device with specified portId.

Note

MT SAFE if createDevice or destroyDevice is not called concurrently

Parameters

[in]

portId

ID of KNI device to find

Returns

Pointer to KNI device or NULL if device not found

getInstance()

static KniDeviceList& pcpp::KniDeviceList::getInstance ( )

static

Getter for singleton.

Warning

Initialization of Kni module depends on initialization of DPDK made by DpdkDeviceList

Returns

The singleton instance of KniDeviceList

isCallbackSupported()

static bool pcpp::KniDeviceList::isCallbackSupported ( const KniCallbackType  cbType )

static

Returns true if provided callback type is supported by used DPDK version

Note

MT SAFE

Parameters

[in]

cbType

One of KniCallbackType enum values

isInitialized()

bool pcpp::KniDeviceList::isInitialized ( )

inline

Returns

true if KNI module was initialized successfully false otherwise
