It issues RPC * requests to an OVSDB database server and parses the responses, converting * raw JSON into data structures that are easier for clients to digest. Most * notably, references to rows via UUID become C pointers. * * The IDL also assists with issuing database transactions. The client creates * a transaction, manipulates the IDL data structures, and commits or aborts * the transaction. The IDL then composes and issues the necessary JSON-RPC * requests and reports to the client whether the transaction completed * successfully. */ #include #include #include "compiler.h" #include "ovsdb-types.h" struct json; struct ovsdb_datum; struct ovsdb_idl_class; struct ovsdb_idl_column; struct ovsdb_idl_table_class; struct uuid; struct ovsdb_idl *ovsdb_idl_create(const char *remote, const struct ovsdb_idl_class *, bool monitor_everything_by_default, bool retry); void ovsdb_idl_destroy(struct ovsdb_idl *); void ovsdb_idl_run(struct ovsdb_idl *); void ovsdb_idl_wait(struct ovsdb_idl *); void ovsdb_idl_set_lock(struct ovsdb_idl *, const char *lock_name); bool ovsdb_idl_has_lock(const struct ovsdb_idl *); bool ovsdb_idl_is_lock_contended(const struct ovsdb_idl *); unsigned int ovsdb_idl_get_seqno(const struct ovsdb_idl *); bool ovsdb_idl_has_ever_connected(const struct ovsdb_idl *); void ovsdb_idl_enable_reconnect(struct ovsdb_idl *); void ovsdb_idl_force_reconnect(struct ovsdb_idl *); void ovsdb_idl_verify_write_only(struct ovsdb_idl *); bool ovsdb_idl_is_alive(const struct ovsdb_idl *); int ovsdb_idl_get_last_error(const struct ovsdb_idl *); /* Choosing columns and tables to replicate. */ /* Modes with which the IDL can monitor a column. * * If no bits are set, the column is not monitored at all.

(The OVSDB IDL code generator produces helper * functions that internally call the ovsdb_idl_txn_*() functions. These are * likely to be more convenient.) * * Reading and writing columns and inserting and deleting rows are all * straightforward. The reasons to verify columns are less obvious. * Verification is the key to maintaining transactional integrity. Because * OVSDB handles multiple clients, it can happen that between the time that * OVSDB client A reads a column and writes a new value, OVSDB client B has * written that column. Client A's write should not ordinarily overwrite * client B's, especially if the column in question is a "map" column that * contains several more or less independent data items. If client A adds a * "verify" operation before it writes the column, then the transaction fails * in case client B modifies it first. Client A will then see the new value of * the column and compose a new transaction based on the new contents written * by client B. * * When a transaction is complete, which must be before the next call to * ovsdb_idl_run() on 'idl', call ovsdb_idl_txn_commit() or * ovsdb_idl_txn_abort(). * * The life-cycle of a transaction looks like this: * * 1. Create the transaction and record the initial sequence number: * * seqno = ovsdb_idl_get_seqno(idl); * txn = ovsdb_idl_txn_create(idl); * * 2. Modify the database with ovsdb_idl_txn_*() functions directly or * indirectly. * * 3. Commit the transaction by calling ovsdb_idl_txn_commit(). The first call * to this function probably returns TXN_INCOMPLETE. The client must keep * calling again along as this remains true, calling ovsdb_idl_run() in * between to let the IDL do protocol processing. (If the client doesn't * have anything else to do in the meantime, it can use * ovsdb_idl_txn_commit_block() to avoid having to loop itself.) * * 4. If the final status is TXN_TRY_AGAIN, wait for ovsdb_idl_get_seqno() to * change from the saved 'seqno' (it's possible that it's already changed, * in which case the client should not wait at all), then start over from * step 1. Only a call to ovsdb_idl_run() will change the return value of * ovsdb_idl_get_seqno().
