DPDK Ring and ivshmem
DPDK Ring
DPDK Ring提供了一个FIFO无锁队列，支持丰富的队列操作，比如
- Multi-consumer or single-consumer dequeue
- Multi-producer or single-producer enqueue
- Bulk dequeue - Dequeues the specified count of objects if successful; otherwise fails
- Bulk enqueue - Enqueues the specified count of objects if successful; otherwise fails
- Burst dequeue - Dequeue the maximum available objects if the specified count cannot be fulfilled
- Burst enqueue - Enqueue the maximum available objects if the specified count cannot be fulfilled
ivshmem
ivshmem则通过把内存映射成虚拟机PCI设备提供了虚拟机间(host-to-guest or guest-to-guest)共享内存的机制。
DPDK ivshmem:
ivshmem使用示例
# on the host
mount tmpfs /dev/shm -t tmpfs -osize=32m
ivshmem_server -m 64 -p/tmp/nahanni &
# start VM
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda mg -L /pc-bios/ --smp 4 –chardev socket,path=/tmp/nahanni,id=nahanni-device ivshmem,chardev=nahanni,size=32m,msi=off -serial telnet:0.0.0.0:4000,server,nowait,nodelay-enable-kvm&
# inside VM
modprobe kvm_ivshmem
cat/proc/devices | grep kvm_ivshmem
mknod-mode=666 /dev/ivshmem c 245 0
