u8 vlib_buffer_t::buffer_pool_index

index of buffer pool this buffer belongs.

Definition at line 126 of file buffer.h.

u32 vlib_buffer_t::current_config_index

Used by feature subgraph arcs to visit enabled feature nodes.

Definition at line 116 of file buffer.h.

i16 vlib_buffer_t::current_data

signed offset in data[], pre_data[] that we are currently processing.

If negative current header points into predata area.

Definition at line 68 of file buffer.h.

u16 vlib_buffer_t::current_length

Nbytes between current data and the end of this buffer.

Definition at line 72 of file buffer.h.

u8 vlib_buffer_t::data[0]

Packet data.

Hardware DMA here

Definition at line 159 of file buffer.h.

u8 vlib_buffer_t::dont_waste_me[1]

Available space in the (precious) first 32 octets of buffer metadata Before allocating any of it, discussion required!

Definition at line 127 of file buffer.h.

vlib_error_t vlib_buffer_t::error

Error code for buffers to be enqueued to error handler.

Definition at line 113 of file buffer.h.

u8 vlib_buffer_t::feature_arc_index

Used to identify feature arcs by intermediate feature node.

Definition at line 120 of file buffer.h.

u32 vlib_buffer_t::flags

buffer flags:
VLIB_BUFFER_FREE_LIST_INDEX_MASK: bits used to store free list index,
VLIB_BUFFER_IS_TRACED: trace this buffer.

VLIB_BUFFER_NEXT_PRESENT: this is a multi-chunk buffer.
VLIB_BUFFER_TOTAL_LENGTH_VALID: as it says
VLIB_BUFFER_REPL_FAIL: packet replication failure
VLIB_BUFFER_RECYCLE: as it says
VLIB_BUFFER_FLOW_REPORT: buffer is a flow report,
VLIB_BUFFER_EXT_HDR_VALID: buffer contains valid external buffer manager header, set to avoid adding it to a flow report
VLIB_BUFFER_FLAG_USER(n): user-defined bit N

Definition at line 75 of file buffer.h.

u8 vlib_buffer_t::n_add_refs

Number of additional references to this buffer.

Definition at line 124 of file buffer.h.

u32 vlib_buffer_t::next_buffer

Next buffer for this linked-list of buffers.

Only valid if VLIB_BUFFER_NEXT_PRESENT flag is set.

Definition at line 109 of file buffer.h.

u32 vlib_buffer_t::opaque[10]

Opaque data used by sub-graphs for their own purposes.

See .../vnet/vnet/buffer.h

Definition at line 132 of file buffer.h.

u32 vlib_buffer_t::opaque2[12]

More opaque data, see ../vnet/vnet/buffer.h.

Definition at line 147 of file buffer.h.

u8 vlib_buffer_t::pre_data[VLIB_BUFFER_PRE_DATA_SIZE]

Space for inserting data before buffer start.

Packet rewrite string will be rewritten backwards and may extend back before buffer->data[0]. Must come directly before packet data.

Definition at line 151 of file buffer.h.

u32 vlib_buffer_t::trace_index

Specifies index into trace buffer if VLIB_PACKET_IS_TRACED flag is set.
