Define a new pool for buffers.

Definition buf.h:1297

Create a data fragment net_buf pool.

A net_buf pool is used to store actual data for network packets. It must be coupled with a net_pkt slab (NET_PKT_SLAB_DEFINE) used to store the packet meta-information. The macro can be used by an application to define additional custom per-context TX packet pools (see net_context_setup_pools()).

Parameters

name	Name of the pool.
count	Number of net_buf in this pool.

◆ net_pkt_print_frags

#define net_pkt_print_frags ( pkt )

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Print fragment list and the fragment sizes.

Only available if debugging is activated.

Parameters

pkt	Network pkt.

#define NET_PKT_SLAB_DEFINE	(	name,
		count
	)	K_MEM_SLAB_DEFINE(name, sizeof(struct net_pkt), count, 4)

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Create a net_pkt slab.

A net_pkt slab is used to store meta-information about network packets. It must be coupled with a data fragment pool (NET_PKT_DATA_POOL_DEFINE) used to store the actual packet data. The macro can be used by an application to define additional custom per-context TX packet slabs (see net_context_setup_pools()).

◆ net_pkt_alloc()

struct net_pkt * net_pkt_alloc ( k_timeout_t timeout )

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Allocate buffer for a net_pkt.

: such allocator will take into account space necessary for headers, MTU, and existing buffer (if any). Beware that, due to all these criteria, the allocated size might be smaller/bigger than requested one.

Parameters

pkt	The network packet requiring buffer to be allocated.
size	The size of buffer being requested.
proto	The IP protocol type (can be 0 for none).
timeout	Maximum time to wait for an allocation.

Returns: 0 on success, negative errno code otherwise.

Read uint16_t little endian data from a net_pkt.

net_pkt's cursor should be properly initialized and, if needed, positioned using net_pkt_skip. Cursor position will be updated after the operation.

Parameters

pkt	The network packet from where to read
data	The destination uint16_t where to copy the data

Returns: 0 on success, negative errno code otherwise.

◆ net_pkt_read_u8()

static int net_pkt_read_u8	(	struct net_pkt *	pkt,
		uint8_t *	data
	)

inlinestatic

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Read a byte (uint8_t) from a net_pkt.

net_pkt's cursor should be properly initialized and, if needed, positioned using net_pkt_skip. Cursor position will be updated after the operation.

Parameters

pkt	The network packet from where to read
data	The destination uint8_t where to copy the data

Returns: 0 on success, negative errno code otherwise.

◆ net_pkt_ref()

struct net_pkt * net_pkt_ref ( struct net_pkt * pkt )

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Increase the packet ref count.

Mark the packet to be used still.

Parameters

pkt	Network packet to ref.

Returns: Network packet if successful, NULL otherwise.

◆ net_pkt_remaining_data()

size_t net_pkt_remaining_data ( struct net_pkt * pkt )

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Get the amount of data which can be read from current cursor position.

Parameters

pkt	Network packet

Returns: Amount of data which can be read from current pkt cursor

◆ net_pkt_remove_tail()

int net_pkt_remove_tail	(	struct net_pkt *	pkt,
		size_t	length
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Remove length bytes from tail of packet.

This function does not take packet cursor into account. It is a helper to remove unneeded bytes from tail of packet (like appended CRC). It takes care of buffer deallocation if removed bytes span whole buffer(s).

Parameters

pkt	Network packet
length	Number of bytes to be removed

Return values

0	On success.
-EINVAL	If packet length is shorter than length.

◆ net_pkt_rx_alloc()

struct net_pkt * net_pkt_rx_alloc ( k_timeout_t timeout )

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Allocate an initialized net_pkt for RX.

for the time being, 2 pools are used. One for TX and one for RX. This allocator has to be used for RX.

Parameters

timeout Maximum time to wait for an allocation.

Returns: a pointer to a newly allocated net_pkt on success, NULL otherwise.

◆ net_pkt_rx_clone()

struct net_pkt * net_pkt_rx_clone	(	struct net_pkt *	pkt,
		k_timeout_t	timeout
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Clone pkt and its buffer.

The cloned packet will be allocated on the RX packet poll.

Parameters

pkt	Original pkt to be cloned
timeout	Timeout to wait for free buffer

Returns: NULL if error, cloned packet otherwise.

◆ net_pkt_set_data()

int net_pkt_set_data	(	struct net_pkt *	pkt,
		struct net_pkt_data_access *	access
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Set contiguous data into a network packet.

net_pkt's cursor should be properly initialized and, if needed, positioned using net_pkt_skip. Cursor position will be updated after the operation.

Parameters

pkt	The network packet to where the data should be set.
access	A pointer to a valid net_pkt_data_access describing the data to set.

Returns: 0 on success, a negative errno otherwise.

◆ net_pkt_shallow_clone()

struct net_pkt * net_pkt_shallow_clone	(	struct net_pkt *	pkt,
		k_timeout_t	timeout
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Clone pkt and increase the refcount of its buffer.

Parameters

pkt	Original pkt to be shallow cloned
timeout	Timeout to wait for free packet

Returns: NULL if error, cloned packet otherwise.

◆ net_pkt_skip()

int net_pkt_skip	(	struct net_pkt *	pkt,
		size_t	length
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Skip some data from a net_pkt.

net_pkt's cursor should be properly initialized Cursor position will be updated after the operation. Depending on the value of pkt->overwrite bit, this function will affect the buffer length or not. If it's true, it will advance the cursor to the requested length. If it's false, it will do the same but if the cursor was already also at the end of existing data, it will increment the buffer length. So in this case, its behavior is just like net_pkt_write or net_pkt_memset, difference being that it will not affect the buffer content itself (which may be just garbage then).

Parameters

pkt	The net_pkt whose cursor will be updated to skip given amount of data from the buffer.
length	Amount of data to skip in the buffer

Returns: 0 in success, negative errno code otherwise.

◆ net_pkt_trim_buffer()

void net_pkt_trim_buffer ( struct net_pkt * pkt )

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Trim net_pkt buffer.

This will basically check for unused buffers and deallocate them relevantly

Parameters

pkt	The net_pkt which buffer will be trimmed

◆ net_pkt_unref()

void net_pkt_unref ( struct net_pkt * pkt )

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Place packet back into the available packets slab.

Releases the packet to other use. This needs to be called by application after it has finished with the packet.

Parameters

pkt	Network packet to release.

◆ net_pkt_update_length()

int net_pkt_update_length	(	struct net_pkt *	pkt,
		size_t	length
	)

#include <include/zephyr/net/net_pkt.h>

Update the overall length of a packet.

Unlike net_pkt_pull() below, this does not take packet cursor into account. It's mainly a helper dedicated for ipv4 and ipv6 input functions. It shrinks the overall length by given parameter.

Parameters

pkt	Network packet
length	The new length of the packet

Returns: 0 on success, negative errno code otherwise.
