Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] fib, rib: fix name prefixes
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 08:52:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922155249.3115271-4-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922155249.3115271-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
From: Anurag Mandal <anurag.mandal@intel.com>
The RIB library named the mempool holding its nodes "MP_<name>".
That prefix is the one the mempool library itself prepends to
the backing memzone, so the memzone ended up named
"MP_MP_<name>" which is improper.
The FIB library passed its own name unchanged to the underlying
RIB and did not add a prefix to the RIB name.
This patch names each object after its owner.
The node mempool of a RIB is now "RIB_<name>" or "RIB6_<name>",
and the RIB owned by a FIB is now "FIB_<name>" or "FIB6_<name>".
A mempool name is limited to RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE, which is
shorter than RTE_RIB_NAMESIZE.
The name was passed down silently and an oversized one surfaced
as an opaque rte_mempool_create() failure, so check the derived
name up front and return ENAMETOOLONG instead.
As the prefixes above are added on top of the name, the maximum
length of a name is limited to the following:
RIB : 53 characters
RIB6: 52 characters
FIB : 49 characters
FIB6: 47 characters
Bugzilla ID: 1981 1982
Fixes: 5a5793a5ffa2 ("rib: add RIB library")
Fixes: f7e861e21c46 ("rib: support IPv6")
Fixes: 39e927248416 ("fib: add FIB library")
Fixes: 40d41a8a7b34 ("fib: support IPv6")

[stephen: recomputed the name length limits for 64 byte memzone
names, dropped the now unneeded test, example and node renames]
