When a node gets deleted, its readers + * are automatically moved to the next node in the table. + * + * Basic FIB operations are performed by functions defined by this module, + * enumerating of FIB contents is accomplished by using the FIB_WALK() macro + * or FIB_ITERATE_START() if you want to do it asynchronously. + */ + #undef LOCAL_DEBUG #include "nest/bird.h" @@ -55,8 +83,20 @@ fib_dummy_init(struct fib_node *dummy) { } +/** + * fib_init - initialize a new FIB + * @f: the FIB to be initialized (the structure itself being allocated by the caller) + * @p: pool to allocate the nodes in + * @node_size: node size to be used (each node consists of a standard header &fib_node + * followed by user data) + * @hash_order: initial hash order (a binary logarithm of hash table size), 0 to use default order + * (recommended) + * @init: pointer a function to be called to initialize a newly created node + * + * This function initializes a newly allocated FIB and prepares it for use. + */ void -fib_init(struct fib *f, pool *p, unsigned node_size, unsigned hash_order, void (*init)(struct fib_node *)) +fib_init(struct fib *f, pool *p, unsigned node_size, unsigned hash_order, fib_init_func init) { if (!hash_order) hash_order = HASH_DEF_ORDER; @@ -113,6 +153,15 @@ fib_rehash(struct fib *f, int step) fib_ht_free(m); } +/** + * fib_find - search for FIB node by prefix + * @f: FIB to search in + * @a: pointer to IP address of the prefix + * @len: prefix length + * + * Search for a FIB node corresponding to the given prefix, return + * a pointer to it or %NULL if no such node exists. + */ void * fib_find(struct fib *f, ip_addr *a, int len) { @@ -123,6 +172,15 @@ fib_find(struct fib *f, ip_addr *a, int len) return e; } +/** + * fib_get - find or create a FIB node + * @f: FIB to work with + * @a: pointer to IP address of the prefix + * @len: prefix length + * + * Search for a FIB node corresponding to the given prefix and + * return a pointer to it.
