- * - A Netlink PID (see "Upcall Queuing and Ordering" below).
+ * - A Netlink PID for each upcall reading thread (see "Upcall Queuing and
+ * Ordering" below).
*
* The dpif interface has functions for adding and deleting ports. When a
* datapath implements these (e.g. as the Linux and netdev datapaths do), then
* connection consists of two flows with 1-ms latency to set up each one.
*
* To receive upcalls, a client has to enable them with dpif_recv_set(). A
- * datapath should generally support multiple clients at once (e.g. so that one
- * may run "ovs-dpctl show" or "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" while "ovs-vswitchd" is
- * also running) but need not support multiple clients enabling upcalls at
- * once.
+ * datapath should generally support being opened multiple times (e.g. so that
+ * one may run "ovs-dpctl show" or "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" while "ovs-vswitchd"
+ * is also running) but need not support more than one of these clients
+ * enabling upcalls at once.
*
*
* Upcall Queuing and Ordering
* PID in "action" upcalls is that dpif_port_get_pid() returns a constant value
* and all upcalls are appended to a single queue.
*
- * The ideal behavior is:
+ * The preferred behavior is:
*
* - Each port has a PID that identifies the queue used for "miss" upcalls
* on that port. (Thus, if each port has its own queue for "miss"
*
* - Upcalls that specify the "special" Netlink PID are queued separately.
*
+ * Multiple threads may want to read upcalls simultaneously from a single
+ * datapath. To support multiple threads well, one extends the above preferred
+ * behavior:
+ *
+ * - Each port has multiple PIDs. The datapath distributes "miss" upcalls
+ * across the PIDs, ensuring that a given flow is mapped in a stable way
+ * to a single PID.
+ *
+ * - For "action" upcalls, the thread can specify its own Netlink PID or
+ * other threads' Netlink PID of the same port for offloading purpose
+ * (e.g. in a "round robin" manner).
+ *
*
* Packet Format
* =============
* thread-safe: they may be called from different threads only on
* different dpif objects.
*
- * - Functions that operate on struct dpif_port_dump or struct
- * dpif_flow_dump are conditionally thread-safe with respect to those
- * objects. That is, one may dump ports or flows from any number of
- * threads at once, but each thread must use its own struct dpif_port_dump
- * or dpif_flow_dump.
+ * - dpif_flow_dump_next() is conditionally thread-safe: It may be called
+ * from different threads with the same 'struct dpif_flow_dump', but all
+ * other parameters must be different for each thread.
+ *
+ * - dpif_flow_dump_done() is conditionally thread-safe: All threads that
+ * share the same 'struct dpif_flow_dump' must have finished using it.
+ * This function must then be called exactly once for a particular
+ * dpif_flow_dump to finish the corresponding flow dump operation.
+ *
+ * - Functions that operate on 'struct dpif_port_dump' are conditionally
+ * thread-safe with respect to those objects. That is, one may dump ports
+ * from any number of threads at once, but each thread must use its own
+ * struct dpif_port_dump.
