Detailed Description
RTE Pipeline Table Actions
This API provides a common set of actions for pipeline tables to speed up application development.
Each match-action rule added to a pipeline table has associated data that stores the action context. This
data is input to the table action handler called for every input packet that hits the rule as part of the
table lookup during the pipeline execution. The pipeline library allows the user to define his own table
actions by providing customized table action handlers (table lookup) and complete freedom of setting the
rules and their data (table rule add/delete). While the user can still follow this process, this API is
intended to provide a quicker development alternative for a set of predefined actions.
The typical steps to use this API are:
• Define a table action profile. This is a configuration template that can potentially be shared by
multiple tables from the same or different pipelines, with different tables from the same pipeline
likely to use different action profiles. For every table using a given action profile, the profile
defines the set of actions and the action configuration to be implemented for all the table rules. API
functions: rte_table_action_profile_create(), rte_table_action_profile_action_register(),
rte_table_action_profile_freeze().
• Instantiate the table action profile to create table action objects. Each pipeline table has its own
table action object. API functions: rte_table_action_create().
• Use the table action object to generate the pipeline table action handlers (invoked by the pipeline
table lookup operation). API functions: rte_table_action_table_params_get().
• Use the table action object to generate the rule data (for the pipeline table rule add operation) based
on given action parameters. API functions: rte_table_action_apply().
• Use the table action object to read action data (e.g. stats counters) for any given rule. API
functions: rte_table_action_XYZ_read().

EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

Function Documentation
__rte_experimental struct rte_table_action_profile * rte_table_action_profile_create (struct
rte_table_action_common_config * common)
Table action profile create.
Parameters
common Common action configuration.
Returns
Table action profile handle on success, NULL otherwise.
__rte_experimental int rte_table_action_profile_free (struct rte_table_action_profile * profile)
Table action profile free.
Parameters
profile Table profile action handle (needs to be valid).
Returns
Zero on success, non-zero error code otherwise.
__rte_experimental int rte_table_action_profile_action_register (struct rte_table_action_profile * profile,
enum rte_table_action_type type, void * action_config)
Table action profile action register.
Parameters
profile Table profile action handle (needs to be valid and not in frozen state).
type Specific table action to be registered for profile.
action_config Configuration for the type action. If struct rte_table_action_*type*_config is defined
by the Table Action API, it needs to point to a valid instance of this structure, otherwise it needs
to be set to NULL.
Returns
Zero on success, non-zero error code otherwise.
__rte_experimental int rte_table_action_profile_freeze (struct rte_table_action_profile * profile)
Table action profile freeze.
Once this function is called successfully, the given profile enters the frozen state with the following
immediate effects: no more actions can be registered for this profile, so the profile can be instantiated
to create table action objects.
Parameters
profile Table profile action handle (needs to be valid and not in frozen state).
Returns
Zero on success, non-zero error code otherwise.
