Detailed Description

The Virtio switch contains all ports and processes network requests.

A Port on its own is not capable to process an incoming network request because it has no knowledge about other ports. The processing of an incoming request therefore gets delegated to the switch.

The Virtio_switch is constructed at the start of the Virtio Net Switch application. The factory saves a reference to it to pass it to the Kick_irq on port creation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Virtio_switch()

Virtio_switch::Virtio_switch ( unsigned max_ports )

explicit

Create a switch with n ports.

Parameters

max_ports

maximal number of provided ports

Member Function Documentation

add_monitor_port()

bool Virtio_switch::add_monitor_port

(

Port_iface *

port

)

Add a monitor port to the switch.

Parameters

port	A pointer to an already constructed Port_iface object.

Return values

true	Port was added successfully.
false	Switch was not able to add the port.

Definition at line 54 of file switch.cc.

add_port()

bool Virtio_switch::add_port

(

Port_iface *

port

)

Add a port to the switch.

Parameters

port	A pointer to an already constructed Port_iface object.

Return values

true	Port was added successfully.
false	Switch was not able to add the port.

Definition at line 29 of file switch.cc.

Here is the call graph for this function:

check_ports()

void Virtio_switch::check_ports

(

)

Check validity of ports.

Check whether all ports are still used and remove any unused (unreferenced) ports. Shall be invoked after an incoming cap deletion irq to remove ports without clients.

Definition at line 69 of file switch.cc.

handle_l4virtio_port_tx()

bool Virtio_switch::handle_l4virtio_port_tx

(

L4virtio_port *

port

)

Handle TX queue of the given port.

Parameters

port	L4virtio_port to handle pending TX work for.

Return values

false	Port hit its TX burst limit, and thus a TX pending reschedule notification was queued.
true	Port's entire TX queue was processed.

Here is the call graph for this function:

port_available()

int Virtio_switch::port_available ( bool monitor )

inline

Is there still a free port on this switch available?

Parameters

monitor

True if we look for a monitor slot.

Return values

>=0	The next available port index.
-1	No port available.
