Detailed Description

A class that represents a TX Enso Pipe.

Should be instantiated using a Device object.

Example:

enso::Device* device = enso::Device::Create(pcie_addr);
enso::TxPipe* tx_pipe = device->AllocateTxPipe();
uint8_t* buf = tx_pipe->AllocateBuf(data_size);
 
// AllocateBuf with a non-zero argument may block waiting for the capacity
// to be free. Alternatively, one may use AllocateBuf with data_size = 0
// and use and useTryExtendBuf to avoid blocking, potentially dropping
// data instead of waiting.
 
// Fill the buffer with data.
[...]
 
// Send the data and retrieve a new buffer.
tx_pipe->SendAndFree(data_size);
buf = tx_pipe.AllocateBuf(data_size);

Member Function Documentation

◆ AllocateBuf()

uint8_t * enso::TxPipe::AllocateBuf ( uint32_t target_capacity = 0 )

inline

Allocates a buffer in the pipe.

There can only be a single buffer allocated at a time for a given Pipe. Calling this function again when a buffer is already allocated will return the same address.

The buffer capacity can be retrieved by calling capacity(). Note that the buffer capacity can increase without notice but will never decrease. The user can also explicitly request for the buffer to be extended by calling ExtendBufToTarget().

The buffer is valid until the user calls SendAndFree(). In which case, the buffer will be freed and a new one must be allocated by calling this function again.

If SendAndFree() only partially sends the buffer, the previous buffer address will still not be valid. But allocating a new buffer will return a a buffers that starts with the remaining data.

Warning: The capacity will never be go beyond TxPipe::kMaxCapacity. Therefore, specifying a target_capacity larger than TxPipe::kMaxCapacity will cause this function to block forever.

Parameters

target_capacity Target capacity of the buffer. It will block until the buffer is at least this big. May set it to 0 to avoid blocking (the default).

Returns: The allocated buffer address.

Definition at line 819 of file pipe.h.

◆ buf()

uint8_t * enso::TxPipe::buf ( ) const

inline

Returns the pipe's internal buffer.

Returns: A pointer to the start of the pipe's internal buffer.

Definition at line 922 of file pipe.h.

◆ capacity()

uint32_t enso::TxPipe::capacity ( ) const

inline

Returns the allocated buffer's current available capacity.

The buffer capacity can increase without notice but will never decrease. The user can use this function to check the current capacity.

Returns: The capacity of the allocated buffer in bytes.

Definition at line 904 of file pipe.h.

◆ context()

void * enso::TxPipe::context ( ) const

inline

Returns the context associated with the pipe.

Applications can use context to associate arbitrary pointers with a given pipe that can later be retrieved in a different point.

See also: TxPipe::set_context()

Returns: The context associated with the pipe.

Definition at line 941 of file pipe.h.

◆ ExtendBufToTarget()

uint32_t enso::TxPipe::ExtendBufToTarget ( uint32_t target_capacity )

inline

Explicitly requests a buffer extension with a target capacity.

Different from TryExtendBuf(), this function will block until the capacity is at least as large as the target capacity. Other than that the behavior is the same.

User may use capacity() to check the total number of available bytes after calling this function or simply use the return value.

Warning: The capacity will never be extended beyond TxPipe::kMaxCapacity. Therefore, specifying a target capacity larger than TxPipe::kMaxCapacity will block forever.

Returns: The new buffer capacity after extending.

Definition at line 887 of file pipe.h.

◆ id()

enso_pipe_id_t enso::TxPipe::id ( ) const

inline

Returns the pipe's ID.

Returns: The pipe's ID.

Definition at line 929 of file pipe.h.

◆ pending_transmission()

uint32_t enso::TxPipe::pending_transmission ( ) const

inline

Returns the number of bytes that are currently being transmitted.

Returns: Number of bytes pending transmission.

Definition at line 913 of file pipe.h.

◆ SendAndFree()

void enso::TxPipe::SendAndFree ( uint32_t nb_bytes )

inline

Sends and deallocates a given number of bytes.

After calling this function, the previous buffer address is no longer valid. Accessing it will lead to undefined behavior.

Note: The user must use AllocateBuf() to allocate a new buffer after calling this function.

The pipe's capacity will also be reduced by the number of bytes sent. If sending more bytes than the pipe's current capacity, the behavior is undefined. The user must also make sure not to modify the sent bytes after calling this function.

Parameters

nb_bytes The number of bytes to send. Must be a multiple of kQuantumSize.

Definition at line 841 of file pipe.h.

◆ set_context()

void enso::TxPipe::set_context ( void * new_context )

inline

Sets the context associated with the pipe.

See also: TxPipe::context()

Definition at line 948 of file pipe.h.

◆ TryExtendBuf()

uint32_t enso::TxPipe::TryExtendBuf ( )

inline

Explicitly requests a best-effort buffer extension.

Will check for completed transmissions to try to extend the capacity of the currently allocated buffer. After this, capacity will be at least as large as it was before. The user can continue to use the same buffer address as before.

User may use capacity() to check the total number of available bytes after calling this function or simply use the return value.

Note: The capacity will never be extended beyond TxPipe::kMaxCapacity.

Returns: The new buffer capacity after extending.

Member Data Documentation

◆ kMaxCapacity

constexpr uint32_t enso::TxPipe::kMaxCapacity = kEnsoPipeSize * 64 - kQuantumSize

staticconstexpr

Maximum capacity achievable by the pipe. There should always be at least one buffer quantum available.

Definition at line 960 of file pipe.h.

◆ kQuantumSize

constexpr uint32_t enso::TxPipe::kQuantumSize = 64

staticconstexpr

The size of a "buffer quantum" in bytes. This is the minimum unit that can be sent at a time. Every transfer should be a multiple of this size.
