From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavat...@marvell.com> A collection of event queues linked to an event port can be associated with unique identifier called as a profile, multiple such profiles can be configured based on the event device capability using the function `rte_event_port_link_with_profile` which takes arguments similar to `rte_event_port_link` in addition to the profile identifier.
The maximum link profiles that are supported by an event device is advertised through the structure member `rte_event_dev_info::max_profiles_per_port`. By default, event ports are configured to use the link profile 0 on initialization. Once multiple link profiles are set up and the event device is started, the application can use the function `rte_event_port_change_profile` to change the currently active profile on an event port. This effects the next `rte_event_dequeue_burst` call, where the event queues associated with the newly active link profile will participate in scheduling. Rudementary work flow would something like: Config path: uint8_t lowQ[4] = {4, 5, 6, 7}; uint8_t highQ[4] = {0, 1, 2, 3}; if (rte_event_dev_info.max_profiles_per_port < 2) return -ENOTSUP; rte_event_port_link_with_profile(0, 0, highQ, NULL, 4, 0); rte_event_port_link_with_profile(0, 0, lowQ, NULL, 4, 1); Worker path: empty_high_deq = 0; empty_low_deq = 0; is_low_deq = 0; while (1) { deq = rte_event_dequeue_burst(0, 0, &ev, 1, 0); if (deq == 0) { /** * Change link profile based on work activity on current * active profile */ if (is_low_deq) { empty_low_deq++; if (empty_low_deq == MAX_LOW_RETRY) { rte_event_port_change_profile(0, 0, 0); is_low_deq = 0; empty_low_deq = 0; } continue; } if (empty_high_deq == MAX_HIGH_RETRY) { rte_event_port_change_profile(0, 0, 1); is_low_deq = 1; empty_high_deq = 0; } continue; } // Process the event received. if (is_low_deq++ == MAX_LOW_EVENTS) { rte_event_port_change_profile(0, 0, 0); is_low_deq = 0; } } An application could use heuristic data of load/activity of a given event port and change its active profile to adapt to the traffic pattern. An unlink function `rte_event_port_unlink_with_profile` is provided to modify the links associated to a profile, and `rte_event_port_links_get_with_profile` can be used to retrieve the links associated with a profile.
