Function Documentation int rte_red_rt_data_init (struct rte_red * red) Initialises run-time data. Parameters red [in,out] data pointer to RED runtime data Returns Operation status Return values 0 success !0 error int rte_red_config_init (struct rte_red_config * red_cfg, const uint16_t wq_log2, const uint16_t min_th, const uint16_t max_th, const uint16_t maxp_inv) Configures a single RED configuration parameter structure. Parameters red_cfg [in,out] config pointer to a RED configuration parameter struc- ture wq_log2 [in] log2 of the filter weight, valid range is: RTE_RED_WQ_LOG2_MIN <= wq_log2 <= RTE_RED_WQ_LOG2_MAX min_th [in] queue minimum threshold in number of packets max_th [in] queue maximum threshold in number of packets maxp_inv [in] inverse maximum mark probability Returns Operation status Return values 0 success !0 error static uint32_t rte_fast_rand (void) [inline], [static] Generate random number for RED. Implementation based on: http://soft- ware.intel.com/en-us/articles/fast-random-number-generator-on-the-intel- pentiumr-4-processor/ 10 bit shift has been found through empirical tests (was 16). Returns Random number between 0 and (2^22 - 1) Definition at line 116 of file rte_red.h. static uint16_t __rte_red_calc_qempty_factor (uint8_t wq_log2, uint16_t m) [inline], [static] calculate factor to scale average queue size when queue becomes empty Parameters wq_log2 [in] where EWMA filter weight wq = 1/(2 ^ wq_log2) m [in] exponent in the computed value (1 - wq) ^ m Returns computed value Return values ((1 - wq) ^ m) scaled in fixed-point format Basic math tells us that: a^b = 2^(b * log2(a) ) in our case: a = (1-Wq) b = m Wq = 1/ (2^log2n) So we are computing this equation: factor = 2 ^ ( m * log2(1-Wq)) First we are computing: n = m * log2(1-Wq) To avoid dealing with signed numbers log2 values are positive but they should be negative because (1-Wq) is always < 1. Contents of log2 table values are also scaled for precision. The tricky part is computing 2^n, for this I split n into integer part and fraction part. f - is fraction part of n n - is integer part of original n Now using basic math we compute 2^n: 2^(f+n) = 2^f * 2^n 2^f - we use lookup table 2^n - can be replaced with bit shift right operations Definition at line 133 of file rte_red.h. static int rte_red_enqueue_empty (const struct rte_red_config * red_cfg, struct rte_red * red, const uint64_t time) [inline], [static] Updates queue average in condition when queue is empty. Note: packet is never dropped in this particular case. Parameters red_cfg [in] config pointer to a RED configuration parameter structure red [in,out] data pointer to RED runtime data time [in] current time stamp Returns Operation status Return values 0 enqueue the packet 1 drop the packet based on max threshold criterion 2 drop the packet based on mark probability criterion We compute avg but we don't compare avg against min_th or max_th, nor cal- culate drop probability m is the number of packets that might have arrived while the queue was empty. In this case we have time stamps provided by scheduler in byte units (bytes transmitted on network port). Such time stamp translates into time units as port speed is fixed but such approach simplifies the code. Check that m will fit into 16-bit unsigned integer Definition at line 196 of file rte_red.h. static int __rte_red_drop (const struct rte_red_config * red_cfg, struct rte_red * red) [inline], [static] make a decision to drop or enqueue a packet based on mark probability cri- teria Drop probability (Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson): pb = (1 / maxp_inv) * (avg - min_th) / (max_th - min_th) pa = pb / (2 - count * pb) (1 / maxp_inv) * (avg - min_th) --------------------------------- max_th - min_th pa = ----------------------------------------------- count * (1 / maxp_inv) * (avg - min_th) 2 - ----------------------------------------- max_th - min_th avg - min_th pa = ----------------------------------------------------------- 2 * (max_th - min_th) * maxp_inv - count * (avg - min_th) We define pa_const as: pa_const = 2 * (max_th - min_th) * maxp_inv. Then: avg - min_th pa = ----------------------------------- pa_const - count * (avg - min_th) Parameters red_cfg [in] config pointer to structure defining RED parameters red [in,out] data pointer to RED runtime data Returns operation status Return values 0 enqueue the packet 1 drop the packet Definition at line 274 of file rte_red.h. static int rte_red_enqueue_nonempty (const struct rte_red_config * red_cfg, struct rte_red * red, const unsigned q) [inline], [static] Decides if new packet should be enqueued or dropped in queue non-empty case. Parameters red_cfg [in] config pointer to a RED configuration parameter structure red [in,out] data pointer to RED runtime data q [in] current queue size (measured in packets) Returns Operation status Return values 0 enqueue the packet 1 drop the packet based on max threshold criterion 2 drop the packet based on mark probability criterion EWMA filter (Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson): avg = (1 - wq) * avg + wq * q avg = avg + q * wq - avg * wq We select: wq = 2^(-n). Let scaled version of avg be: avg_s = avg * 2^(N+n). We get: avg_s = avg_s + q * 2^N - avg_s * 2^(-n) By using shift left/right operations, we get: avg_s = avg_s + (q << N) - (avg_s >> n) avg_s += (q << N) - (avg_s >> n) Definition at line 313 of file rte_red.h. static int rte_red_enqueue (const struct rte_red_config * red_cfg, struct rte_red * red, const unsigned q, const uint64_t time) [inline], [static] Decides if new packet should be enqueued or dropped Updates run time data based on new queue size value. Based on new queue average and RED configu- ration parameters gives verdict whether to enqueue or drop the packet. Parameters red_cfg [in] config pointer to a RED configuration parameter structure red [in,out] data pointer to RED runtime data q [in] updated queue size in packets time [in] current time stamp Returns Operation status Return values 0 enqueue the packet 1 drop the packet based on max threshold criteria 2 drop the packet based on mark probability criteria Definition at line 375 of file rte_red.h. static void rte_red_mark_queue_empty (struct rte_red * red, const uint64_t time) [inline], [static] Callback to records time that queue became empty.
