SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================================================================= +Linux and the 3Com EtherLink III Series Ethercards (driver v1.18c and higher) +============================================================================= + +This file contains the instructions and caveats for v1.18c and higher versions +of the 3c509 driver. You should not use the driver without reading this file. + +release 1.0 + +28 February 2002 + +Current maintainer (corrections to): + David Ruggiero <jdr@farfalle.com> + +Introduction +============ + +The following are notes and information on using the 3Com EtherLink III series +ethercards in Linux. These cards are commonly known by the most widely-used +card's 3Com model number, 3c509. They are all 10mb/s ISA-bus cards and shouldn't +be (but sometimes are) confused with the similarly-numbered PCI-bus "3c905" +(aka "Vortex" or "Boomerang") series. Kernel support for the 3c509 family is +provided by the module 3c509.c, which has code to support all of the following +models: + + - 3c509 (original ISA card) + - 3c509B (later revision of the ISA card; supports full-duplex) + - 3c589 (PCMCIA) + - 3c589B (later revision of the 3c589; supports full-duplex) + - 3c579 (EISA) + +Large portions of this documentation were heavily borrowed from the guide +written the original author of the 3c509 driver, Donald Becker. The master +copy of that document, which contains notes on older versions of the driver, +currently resides on Scyld web server: http://www.scyld.com/. + + +Special Driver Features +======================= + +Overriding card settings + +The driver allows boot- or load-time overriding of the card's detected IOADDR, +IRQ, and transceiver settings, although this capability shouldn't generally be +needed except to enable full-duplex mode (see below). An example of the syntax +for LILO parameters for doing this:: + + ether=10,0x310,3,0x3c509,eth0 + +This configures the first found 3c509 card for IRQ 10, base I/O 0x310, and +transceiver type 3 (10base2). The flag "0x3c509" must be set to avoid conflicts +with other card types when overriding the I/O address. When the driver is +loaded as a module, only the IRQ may be overridden. For example, +setting two cards to IRQ10 and IRQ11 is done by using the irq module +option:: + + options 3c509 irq=10,11 + + +Full-duplex mode +================ + +The v1.18c driver added support for the 3c509B's full-duplex capabilities. +In order to enable and successfully use full-duplex mode, three conditions +must be met: + +(a) You must have a Etherlink III card model whose hardware supports full- +duplex operations. Currently, the only members of the 3c509 family that are +positively known to support full-duplex are the 3c509B (ISA bus) and 3c589B +(PCMCIA) cards. Cards without the "B" model designation do *not* support +full-duplex mode; these include the original 3c509 (no "B"), the original +3c589, the 3c529 (MCA bus), and the 3c579 (EISA bus). + +(b) You must be using your card's 10baseT transceiver (i.e., the RJ-45 +connector), not its AUI (thick-net) or 10base2 (thin-net/coax) interfaces. +AUI and 10base2 network cabling is physically incapable of full-duplex +operation. + +(c) Most importantly, your 3c509B must be connected to a link partner that is +itself full-duplex capable. This is almost certainly one of two things: a full- +duplex-capable Ethernet switch (*not* a hub), or a full-duplex-capable NIC on +another system that's connected directly to the 3c509B via a crossover cable. + +Full-duplex mode can be enabled using 'ethtool'. + +.. warning:: + + Extremely important caution concerning full-duplex mode + + Understand that the 3c509B's hardware's full-duplex support is much more + limited than that provide by more modern network interface cards. Although + at the physical layer of the network it fully supports full-duplex operation, + the card was designed before the current Ethernet auto-negotiation (N-way) + spec was written. This means that the 3c509B family ***cannot and will not + auto-negotiate a full-duplex connection with its link partner under any + circumstances, no matter how it is initialized***. If the full-duplex mode + of the 3c509B is enabled, its link partner will very likely need to be + independently _forced_ into full-duplex mode as well; otherwise various nasty + failures will occur - at the very least, you'll see massive numbers of packet + collisions. This is one of very rare circumstances where disabling auto- + negotiation and forcing the duplex mode of a network interface card or switch + would ever be necessary or desirable. + + +Available Transceiver Types +=========================== + +For versions of the driver v1.18c and above, the available transceiver types are: + +== ========================================================================= +0 transceiver type from EEPROM config (normally 10baseT); force half-duplex +1 AUI (thick-net / DB15 connector) +2 (undefined) +3 10base2 (thin-net == coax / BNC connector) +4 10baseT (RJ-45 connector); force half-duplex mode +8 transceiver type and duplex mode taken from card's EEPROM config settings +12 10baseT (RJ-45 connector); force full-duplex mode +== ========================================================================= + +Prior to driver version 1.18c, only transceiver codes 0-4 were supported. Note +that the new transceiver codes 8 and 12 are the *only* ones that will enable +full-duplex mode, no matter what the card's detected EEPROM settings might be. +This insured that merely upgrading the driver from an earlier version would +never automatically enable full-duplex mode in an existing installation; +it must always be explicitly enabled via one of these code in order to be +activated. + +The transceiver type can be changed using 'ethtool'. + + +Interpretation of error messages and common problems +---------------------------------------------------- + +Error Messages +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +eth0: Infinite loop in interrupt, status 2011. +These are "mostly harmless" message indicating that the driver had too much +work during that interrupt cycle. With a status of 0x2011 you are receiving +packets faster than they can be removed from the card. This should be rare +or impossible in normal operation. Possible causes of this error report are: + + - a "green" mode enabled that slows the processor down when there is no + keyboard activity. + + - some other device or device driver hogging the bus or disabling interrupts. + Check /proc/interrupts for excessive interrupt counts. The timer tick + interrupt should always be incrementing faster than the others. + +No received packets +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +If a 3c509, 3c562 or 3c589 can successfully transmit packets, but never +receives packets (as reported by /proc/net/dev or 'ifconfig') you likely +have an interrupt line problem. Check /proc/interrupts to verify that the +card is actually generating interrupts. If the interrupt count is not +increasing you likely have a physical conflict with two devices trying to +use the same ISA IRQ line. The common conflict is with a sound card on IRQ10 +or IRQ5, and the easiest solution is to move the 3c509 to a different +interrupt line. If the device is receiving packets but 'ping' doesn't work, +you have a routing problem. + +Tx Carrier Errors Reported in /proc/net/dev +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + + +If an EtherLink III appears to transmit packets, but the "Tx carrier errors" +field in /proc/net/dev increments as quickly as the Tx packet count, you +likely have an unterminated network or the incorrect media transceiver selected. + +3c509B card is not detected on machines with an ISA PnP BIOS. +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +While the updated driver works with most PnP BIOS programs, it does not work +with all. This can be fixed by disabling PnP support using the 3Com-supplied +setup program. + +3c509 card is not detected on overclocked machines +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Increase the delay time in id_read_eeprom() from the current value, 500, +to an absurdly high value, such as 5000. + + +Decoding Status and Error Messages +---------------------------------- + + +The bits in the main status register are: + +===== ====================================== +value description +===== ====================================== +0x01 Interrupt latch +0x02 Tx overrun, or Rx underrun +0x04 Tx complete +0x08 Tx FIFO room available +0x10 A complete Rx packet has arrived +0x20 A Rx packet has started to arrive +0x40 The driver has requested an interrupt +0x80 Statistics counter nearly full +===== ====================================== + +The bits in the transmit (Tx) status word are: + +===== ============================================ +value description +===== ============================================ +0x02 Out-of-window collision. +0x04 Status stack overflow (normally impossible). +0x08 16 collisions. +0x10 Tx underrun (not enough PCI bus bandwidth). +0x20 Tx jabber. +0x40 Tx interrupt requested. +0x80 Status is valid (this should always be set). +===== ============================================ + + +When a transmit error occurs the driver produces a status message such as:: + + eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82 + +The two values typically seen here are: + +0x82 +^^^^ + +Out of window collision. This typically occurs when some other Ethernet +host is incorrectly set to full duplex on a half duplex network. + +0x88 +^^^^ + +16 collisions. This typically occurs when the network is exceptionally busy +or when another host doesn't correctly back off after a collision. If this +error is mixed with 0x82 errors it is the result of a host incorrectly set +to full duplex (see above). + +Both of these errors are the result of network problems that should be +corrected. They do not represent driver malfunction. + + +Revision history (this file) +============================ + +28Feb02 v1.0 DR New; major portions based on Becker original 3c509 docs + diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/3com/vortex.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/3com/vortex.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..eab10fc6da5c --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/3com/vortex.rst @@ -0,0 +1,459 @@ +..

Forces the corresponding card into + full-duplex mode. Please use this in preference to the ``options`` + parameter. + + In fact, please don't use this at all! You're better off getting + autonegotiation working properly. + +global_full_duplex=N1 + + Sets full duplex mode for all 3c59x NICs in the machine. Entries + in the ``full_duplex`` array above will override any setting of this. + +flow_ctrl=N1,N2,N3... + + Use 802.3x MAC-layer flow control. The 3com cards only support the + PAUSE command, which means that they will stop sending packets for a + short period if they receive a PAUSE frame from the link partner. + + The driver only allows flow control on a link which is operating in + full duplex mode. + + This feature does not appear to work on the 3c905 - only 3c905B and + 3c905C have been tested. + + The 3com cards appear to only respond to PAUSE frames which are + sent to the reserved destination address of 01:80:c2:00:00:01. They + do not honour PAUSE frames which are sent to the station MAC address. + +rx_copybreak=M + + The driver preallocates 32 full-sized (1536 byte) network buffers + for receiving. When a packet arrives, the driver has to decide + whether to leave the packet in its full-sized buffer, or to allocate + a smaller buffer and copy the packet across into it. + + This is a speed/space tradeoff. + + The value of rx_copybreak is used to decide when to make the copy. + If the packet size is less than rx_copybreak, the packet is copied. + The default value for rx_copybreak is 200 bytes. + +max_interrupt_work=N + + The driver's interrupt service routine can handle many receive and + transmit packets in a single invocation. It does this in a loop. + The value of max_interrupt_work governs how many times the interrupt + service routine will loop. The default value is 32 loops. If this + is exceeded the interrupt service routine gives up and generates a + warning message "eth0: Too much work in interrupt". + +hw_checksums=N1,N2,N3,... + + Recent 3com NICs are able to generate IPv4, TCP and UDP checksums + in hardware. Linux has used the Rx checksumming for a long time. + The "zero copy" patch which is planned for the 2.4 kernel series + allows you to make use of the NIC's DMA scatter/gather and transmit + checksumming as well. + + The driver is set up so that, when the zerocopy patch is applied, + all Tornado and Cyclone devices will use S/G and Tx checksums. + + This module parameter has been provided so you can override this + decision. If you think that Tx checksums are causing a problem, you + may disable the feature with ``hw_checksums=0``. + + If you think your NIC should be performing Tx checksumming and the + driver isn't enabling it, you can force the use of hardware Tx + checksumming with ``hw_checksums=1``. + + The driver drops a message in the logfiles to indicate whether or + not it is using hardware scatter/gather and hardware Tx checksums. + + Scatter/gather and hardware checksums provide considerable + performance improvement for the sendfile() system call, but a small + decrease in throughput for send(). There is no effect upon receive + efficiency. + +compaq_ioaddr=N, +compaq_irq=N, +compaq_device_id=N + + "Variables to work-around the Compaq PCI BIOS32 problem".... + +watchdog=N + + Sets the time duration (in milliseconds) after which the kernel + decides that the transmitter has become stuck and needs to be reset. + This is mainly for debugging purposes, although it may be advantageous + to increase this value on LANs which have very high collision rates. + The default value is 5000 (5.0 seconds). + +enable_wol=N1,N2,N3,... + + Enable Wake-on-LAN support for the relevant interface. Donald + Becker's ``ether-wake`` application may be used to wake suspended + machines. + + Also enables the NIC's power management support. + +global_enable_wol=N + + Sets enable_wol mode for all 3c59x NICs in the machine. Entries in + the ``enable_wol`` array above will override any setting of this. + +Media selection +--------------- + +A number of the older NICs such as the 3c590 and 3c900 series have +10base2 and AUI interfaces. + +Prior to January, 2001 this driver would autoeselect the 10base2 or AUI +port if it didn't detect activity on the 10baseT port. It would then +get stuck on the 10base2 port and a driver reload was necessary to +switch back to 10baseT. This behaviour could not be prevented with a +module option override. + +Later (current) versions of the driver _do_ support locking of the +media type. So if you load the driver module with + + modprobe 3c59x options=0 + +it will permanently select the 10baseT port. Automatic selection of +other media types does not occur. + + +Transmit error, Tx status register 82 +------------------------------------- + +This is a common error which is almost always caused by another host on +the same network being in full-duplex mode, while this host is in +half-duplex mode. You need to find that other host and make it run in +half-duplex mode or fix this host to run in full-duplex mode. + +As a last resort, you can force the 3c59x driver into full-duplex mode +with + + options 3c59x full_duplex=1 + +but this has to be viewed as a workaround for broken network gear and +should only really be used for equipment which cannot autonegotiate. + + +Additional resources +-------------------- + +Details of the device driver implementation are at the top of the source file. + +Additional documentation is available at Don Becker's Linux Drivers site: + + http://www.scyld.com/vortex.html + +Donald Becker's driver development site: + + http://www.scyld.com/network.html + +Donald's vortex-diag program is useful for inspecting the NIC's state: + + http://www.scyld.com/ethercard_diag.html + +Donald's mii-diag program may be used for inspecting and manipulating +the NIC's Media Independent Interface subsystem: + + http://www.scyld.com/ethercard_diag.html#mii-diag + +Donald's wake-on-LAN page: + + http://www.scyld.com/wakeonlan.html + +3Com's DOS-based application for setting up the NICs EEPROMs: + + ftp://ftp.3com.com/pub/nic/3c90x/3c90xx2.exe + + +Autonegotiation notes +--------------------- + + The driver uses a one-minute heartbeat for adapting to changes in + the external LAN environment if link is up and 5 seconds if link is down. + This means that when, for example, a machine is unplugged from a hubbed + 10baseT LAN plugged into a switched 100baseT LAN, the throughput + will be quite dreadful for up to sixty seconds. Be patient. + + Cisco interoperability note from Walter Wong <wcw+@CMU.EDU>: + + On a side note, adding HAS_NWAY seems to share a problem with the + Cisco 6509 switch. Specifically, you need to change the spanning + tree parameter for the port the machine is plugged into to 'portfast' + mode. Otherwise, the negotiation fails. This has been an issue + we've noticed for a while but haven't had the time to track down. + + Cisco switches (Jeff Busch <jbusch@deja.com>) + + My "standard config" for ports to which PC's/servers connect directly:: + + interface FastEthernet0/N + description machinename + load-interval 30 + spanning-tree portfast + + If autonegotiation is a problem, you may need to specify "speed + 100" and "duplex full" as well (or "speed 10" and "duplex half"). + + WARNING: DO NOT hook up hubs/switches/bridges to these + specially-configured ports! The switch will become very confused. + + +Reporting and diagnosing problems +--------------------------------- + +Maintainers find that accurate and complete problem reports are +invaluable in resolving driver problems. We are frequently not able to +reproduce problems and must rely on your patience and efforts to get to +the bottom of the problem. + +If you believe you have a driver problem here are some of the +steps you should take: + +- Is it really a driver problem? + + Eliminate some variables: try different cards, different + computers, different cables, different ports on the switch/hub, + different versions of the kernel or of the driver, etc. + +- OK, it's a driver problem. + + You need to generate a report. Typically this is an email to the + maintainer and/or netdev@vger.kernel.org. The maintainer's + email address will be in the driver source or in the MAINTAINERS file. + +- The contents of your report will vary a lot depending upon the + problem. If it's a kernel crash then you should refer to the + admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst file. + + But for most problems it is useful to provide the following: + + - Kernel version, driver version + + - A copy of the banner message which the driver generates when + it is initialised. For example: + + eth0: 3Com PCI 3c905C Tornado at 0xa400, 00:50:da:6a:88:f0, IRQ 19 + 8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/Autonegotiate interface. + MII transceiver found at address 24, status 782d. + Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives. + + NOTE: You must provide the ``debug=2`` modprobe option to generate + a full detection message.

If you're reporting direct to the maintainer then just send + it. + + To ensure that all kernel logs are available, add the + following line to /etc/syslog.conf:: + + kern.* /var/log/messages + + Then restart syslogd with:: + + /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart + + (The above may vary, depending upon which Linux distribution you use). + + - If your problem is reproducible then that's great. Try the + following: + + 1) Increase the debug level. Usually this is done via: + + a) modprobe driver debug=7 + b) In /etc/modprobe.d/driver.conf: + options driver debug=7 + + 2) Recreate the problem with the higher debug level, + send all logs to the maintainer. + + 3) Download you card's diagnostic tool from Donald + Becker's website <http://www.scyld.com/ethercard_diag.html>. + Download mii-diag.c as well.

The +probe function then installs the appropriate set of DMA routines to +initialize, setup transmits, receives, and interrupt handling primitives for +the respective configurations. + +The SGDMA component is to be deprecated in the near future (over the next 1-2 +years as of this writing in early 2014) in favor of the MSGDMA component. +SGDMA support is included for existing designs and reference in case a +developer wishes to support their own soft DMA logic and driver support. Any +new designs should not use the SGDMA. + +The SGDMA supports only a single transmit or receive operation at a time, and +therefore will not perform as well compared to the MSGDMA soft IP. Please +visit www.altera.com for known, documented SGDMA errata. + +Scatter-gather DMA is not supported by the SGDMA or MSGDMA at this time. +Scatter-gather DMA will be added to a future maintenance update to this +driver. + +Jumbo frames are not supported at this time. + +The driver limits PHY operations to 10/100Mbps, and has not yet been fully +tested for 1Gbps. This support will be added in a future maintenance update. + +1. Kernel Configuration +======================= + +The kernel configuration option is ALTERA_TSE: + + Device Drivers ---> Network device support ---> Ethernet driver support ---> + Altera Triple-Speed Ethernet MAC support (ALTERA_TSE) + +2. Driver parameters list +========================= + + - debug: message level (0: no output, 16: all); + - dma_rx_num: Number of descriptors in the RX list (default is 64); + - dma_tx_num: Number of descriptors in the TX list (default is 64). + +3. Command line options +======================= + +Driver parameters can be also passed in command line by using:: + + altera_tse=dma_rx_num:128,dma_tx_num:512 + +4. Driver information and notes +=============================== + +4.1. Transmit process +--------------------- +When the driver's transmit routine is called by the kernel, it sets up a +transmit descriptor by calling the underlying DMA transmit routine (SGDMA or +MSGDMA), and initiates a transmit operation. Once the transmit is complete, an +interrupt is driven by the transmit DMA logic. The driver handles the transmit +completion in the context of the interrupt handling chain by recycling +resource required to send and track the requested transmit operation. + +4.2. Receive process +-------------------- +The driver will post receive buffers to the receive DMA logic during driver +initialization. Receive buffers may or may not be queued depending upon the +underlying DMA logic (MSGDMA is able queue receive buffers, SGDMA is not able +to queue receive buffers to the SGDMA receive logic). When a packet is +received, the DMA logic generates an interrupt. The driver handles a receive +interrupt by obtaining the DMA receive logic status, reaping receive +completions until no more receive completions are available. + +4.3. Interrupt Mitigation +------------------------- +The driver is able to mitigate the number of its DMA interrupts +using NAPI for receive operations. Interrupt mitigation is not yet supported +for transmit operations, but will be added in a future maintenance release. + +4.4) Ethtool support +-------------------- +Ethtool is supported. Driver statistics and internal errors can be taken using: +ethtool -S ethX command. It is possible to dump registers etc. + +4.5) PHY Support +---------------- +The driver is compatible with PAL to work with PHY and GPHY devices. + +4.7) List of source files: +-------------------------- + - Kconfig + - Makefile + - altera_tse_main.c: main network device driver + - altera_tse_ethtool.c: ethtool support + - altera_tse.h: private driver structure and common definitions + - altera_msgdma.h: MSGDMA implementation function definitions + - altera_sgdma.h: SGDMA implementation function definitions + - altera_msgdma.c: MSGDMA implementation + - altera_sgdma.c: SGDMA implementation + - altera_sgdmahw.h: SGDMA register and descriptor definitions + - altera_msgdmahw.h: MSGDMA register and descriptor definitions + - altera_utils.c: Driver utility functions + - altera_utils.h: Driver utility function definitions + +5. Debug Information +==================== + +The driver exports debug information such as internal statistics, +debug information, MAC and DMA registers etc. + +A user may use the ethtool support to get statistics: +e.g. using: ethtool -S ethX (that shows the statistics counters) +or sees the MAC registers: e.g. using: ethtool -d ethX + +The developer can also use the "debug" module parameter to get +further debug information. + +6. Statistics Support +===================== + +The controller and driver support a mix of IEEE standard defined statistics, +RFC defined statistics, and driver or Altera defined statistics.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================================================ +Linux kernel driver for Elastic Network Adapter (ENA) family +============================================================ + +Overview +======== + +ENA is a networking interface designed to make good use of modern CPU +features and system architectures. + +The ENA device exposes a lightweight management interface with a +minimal set of memory mapped registers and extendable command set +through an Admin Queue. + +The driver supports a range of ENA devices, is link-speed independent +(i.e., the same driver is used for 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, etc.), and has +a negotiated and extendable feature set. + +Some ENA devices support SR-IOV. This driver is used for both the +SR-IOV Physical Function (PF) and Virtual Function (VF) devices. + +ENA devices enable high speed and low overhead network traffic +processing by providing multiple Tx/Rx queue pairs (the maximum number +is advertised by the device via the Admin Queue), a dedicated MSI-X +interrupt vector per Tx/Rx queue pair, adaptive interrupt moderation, +and CPU cacheline optimized data placement. + +The ENA driver supports industry standard TCP/IP offload features such +as checksum offload and TCP transmit segmentation offload (TSO). +Receive-side scaling (RSS) is supported for multi-core scaling. + +The ENA driver and its corresponding devices implement health +monitoring mechanisms such as watchdog, enabling the device and driver +to recover in a manner transparent to the application, as well as +debug logs. + +Some of the ENA devices support a working mode called Low-latency +Queue (LLQ), which saves several more microseconds. + +Supported PCI vendor ID/device IDs +================================== + +========= ======================= +1d0f:0ec2 ENA PF +1d0f:1ec2 ENA PF with LLQ support +1d0f:ec20 ENA VF +1d0f:ec21 ENA VF with LLQ support +========= ======================= + +ENA Source Code Directory Structure +=================================== + +================= ====================================================== +ena_com.[ch] Management communication layer.

Most of the management operations are +framed in a generic Get/Set feature command. + +The following admin queue commands are supported: + +- Create I/O submission queue +- Create I/O completion queue +- Destroy I/O submission queue +- Destroy I/O completion queue +- Get feature +- Set feature +- Configure AENQ +- Get statistics + +Refer to ena_admin_defs.h for the list of supported Get/Set Feature +properties. + +The Asynchronous Event Notification Queue (AENQ) is a uni-directional +queue used by the ENA device to send to the driver events that cannot +be reported using ACQ. AENQ events are subdivided into groups. Each +group may have multiple syndromes, as shown below + +The events are: + + ==================== =============== + Group Syndrome + ==================== =============== + Link state change **X** + Fatal error **X** + Notification Suspend traffic + Notification Resume traffic + Keep-Alive **X** + ==================== =============== + +ACQ and AENQ share the same MSI-X vector. + +Keep-Alive is a special mechanism that allows monitoring of the +device's health. The driver maintains a watchdog (WD) handler which, +if fired, logs the current state and statistics then resets and +restarts the ENA device and driver. A Keep-Alive event is delivered by +the device every second. The driver re-arms the WD upon reception of a +Keep-Alive event. A missed Keep-Alive event causes the WD handler to +fire. + +Data Path Interface +=================== +I/O operations are based on Tx and Rx Submission Queues (Tx SQ and Rx +SQ correspondingly). Each SQ has a completion queue (CQ) associated +with it. + +The SQs and CQs are implemented as descriptor rings in contiguous +physical memory. + +The ENA driver supports two Queue Operation modes for Tx SQs: + +- Regular mode + + * In this mode the Tx SQs reside in the host's memory. The ENA + device fetches the ENA Tx descriptors and packet data from host + memory. + +- Low Latency Queue (LLQ) mode or "push-mode". + + * In this mode the driver pushes the transmit descriptors and the + first 128 bytes of the packet directly to the ENA device memory + space. The rest of the packet payload is fetched by the + device. For this operation mode, the driver uses a dedicated PCI + device memory BAR, which is mapped with write-combine capability. + +The Rx SQs support only the regular mode. + +Note: Not all ENA devices support LLQ, and this feature is negotiated + with the device upon initialization. If the ENA device does not + support LLQ mode, the driver falls back to the regular mode. + +The driver supports multi-queue for both Tx and Rx. This has various +benefits: + +- Reduced CPU/thread/process contention on a given Ethernet interface. +- Cache miss rate on completion is reduced, particularly for data + cache lines that hold the sk_buff structures. +- Increased process-level parallelism when handling received packets. +- Increased data cache hit rate, by steering kernel processing of + packets to the CPU, where the application thread consuming the + packet is running. +- In hardware interrupt re-direction. + +Interrupt Modes +=============== +The driver assigns a single MSI-X vector per queue pair (for both Tx +and Rx directions). The driver assigns an additional dedicated MSI-X vector +for management (for ACQ and AENQ). + +Management interrupt registration is performed when the Linux kernel +probes the adapter, and it is de-registered when the adapter is +removed. I/O queue interrupt registration is performed when the Linux +interface of the adapter is opened, and it is de-registered when the +interface is closed. + +The management interrupt is named:: + + ena-mgmnt@pci:<PCI domain:bus:slot.function> + +and for each queue pair, an interrupt is named:: + + <interface name>-Tx-Rx-<queue index> + +The ENA device operates in auto-mask and auto-clear interrupt +modes. That is, once MSI-X is delivered to the host, its Cause bit is +automatically cleared and the interrupt is masked. The interrupt is +unmasked by the driver after NAPI processing is complete. + +Interrupt Moderation +==================== +ENA driver and device can operate in conventional or adaptive interrupt +moderation mode. + +In conventional mode the driver instructs device to postpone interrupt +posting according to static interrupt delay value. The interrupt delay +value can be configured through ethtool(8). The following ethtool +parameters are supported by the driver: tx-usecs, rx-usecs + +In adaptive interrupt moderation mode the interrupt delay value is +updated by the driver dynamically and adjusted every NAPI cycle +according to the traffic nature. + +By default ENA driver applies adaptive coalescing on Rx traffic and +conventional coalescing on Tx traffic. + +Adaptive coalescing can be switched on/off through ethtool(8) +adaptive_rx on|off parameter. + +The driver chooses interrupt delay value according to the number of +bytes and packets received between interrupt unmasking and interrupt +posting. The driver uses interrupt delay table that subdivides the +range of received bytes/packets into 5 levels and assigns interrupt +delay value to each level. + +The user can enable/disable adaptive moderation, modify the interrupt +delay table and restore its default values through sysfs. + +RX copybreak +============ +The rx_copybreak is initialized by default to ENA_DEFAULT_RX_COPYBREAK +and can be configured by the ETHTOOL_STUNABLE command of the +SIOCETHTOOL ioctl. + +SKB +=== +The driver-allocated SKB for frames received from Rx handling using +NAPI context. The allocation method depends on the size of the packet. +If the frame length is larger than rx_copybreak, napi_get_frags() +is used, otherwise netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() is used, the buffer +content is copied (by CPU) to the SKB, and the buffer is recycled. + +Statistics +========== +The user can obtain ENA device and driver statistics using ethtool. +The driver can collect regular or extended statistics (including +per-queue stats) from the device. + +In addition the driver logs the stats to syslog upon device reset. + +MTU +=== +The driver supports an arbitrarily large MTU with a maximum that is +negotiated with the device. The driver configures MTU using the +SetFeature command (ENA_ADMIN_MTU property). The user can change MTU +via ip(8) and similar legacy tools. + +Stateless Offloads +================== +The ENA driver supports: + +- TSO over IPv4/IPv6 +- TSO with ECN +- IPv4 header checksum offload +- TCP/UDP over IPv4/IPv6 checksum offloads + +RSS +=== +- The ENA device supports RSS that allows flexible Rx traffic + steering. +- Toeplitz and CRC32 hash functions are supported. +- Different combinations of L2/L3/L4 fields can be configured as + inputs for hash functions. +- The driver configures RSS settings using the AQ SetFeature command + (ENA_ADMIN_RSS_HASH_FUNCTION, ENA_ADMIN_RSS_HASH_INPUT and + ENA_ADMIN_RSS_REDIRECTION_TABLE_CONFIG properties). +- If the NETIF_F_RXHASH flag is set, the 32-bit result of the hash + function delivered in the Rx CQ descriptor is set in the received + SKB. +- The user can provide a hash key, hash function, and configure the + indirection table through ethtool(8). + +DATA PATH +========= +Tx +-- + +end_start_xmit() is called by the stack. This function does the following: + +- Maps data buffers (skb->data and frags). +- Populates ena_buf for the push buffer (if the driver and device are + in push mode.) +- Prepares ENA bufs for the remaining frags. +- Allocates a new request ID from the empty req_id ring. The request + ID is the index of the packet in the Tx info. This is used for + out-of-order TX completions. +- Adds the packet to the proper place in the Tx ring. +- Calls ena_com_prepare_tx(), an ENA communication layer that converts + the ena_bufs to ENA descriptors (and adds meta ENA descriptors as + needed.) + + * This function also copies the ENA descriptors and the push buffer + to the Device memory space (if in push mode.) + +- Writes doorbell to the ENA device. +- When the ENA device finishes sending the packet, a completion + interrupt is raised. +- The interrupt handler schedules NAPI. +- The ena_clean_tx_irq() function is called. This function handles the + completion descriptors generated by the ENA, with a single + completion descriptor per completed packet. + + * req_id is retrieved from the completion descriptor. The tx_info of + the packet is retrieved via the req_id. The data buffers are + unmapped and req_id is returned to the empty req_id ring. + * The function stops when the completion descriptors are completed or + the budget is reached. + +Rx +-- + +- When a packet is received from the ENA device. +- The interrupt handler schedules NAPI. +- The ena_clean_rx_irq() function is called. This function calls + ena_rx_pkt(), an ENA communication layer function, which returns the + number of descriptors used for a new unhandled packet, and zero if + no new packet is found. +- Then it calls the ena_clean_rx_irq() function. +- ena_eth_rx_skb() checks packet length: + + * If the packet is small (len < rx_copybreak), the driver allocates + a SKB for the new packet, and copies the packet payload into the + SKB data buffer. + + - In this way the original data buffer is not passed to the stack + and is reused for future Rx packets. + + * Otherwise the function unmaps the Rx buffer, then allocates the + new SKB structure and hooks the Rx buffer to the SKB frags. + +- The new SKB is updated with the necessary information (protocol, + checksum hw verify result, etc.), and then passed to the network + stack, using the NAPI interface function napi_gro_receive(). diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..595ddef1c8b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic.rst @@ -0,0 +1,556 @@ +..

Experimentation may be necessary to attain + the correct value. This method is provided as a starting point for the + correct receive buffer size. + + Setting the min, max, and default receive buffer (RX_WINDOW) size is + performed in the same manner as single connection. + + +Driver Messages +=============== + + The following messages are the most common messages logged by syslog.

The following information + is provided as a workaround to the problem. In some cases, this problem is + inherent to Linux or to a particular Linux Distribution and/or hardware + platform. + + 1. Large number of TCP retransmits on a multiprocessor (SMP) system. + + On a system with multiple CPUs, the interrupt (IRQ) for the network + controller may be bound to more than one CPU. This will cause TCP + retransmits if the packet data were to be split across different CPUs + and re-assembled in a different order than expected. + + To eliminate the TCP retransmits, set smp_affinity on the particular + interrupt to a single CPU. You can locate the interrupt (IRQ) used on + the N110/N210 by using ifconfig:: + + ifconfig <dev_name> | grep Interrupt + + Set the smp_affinity to a single CPU:: + + echo 1 > /proc/irq/<interrupt_number>/smp_affinity + + It is highly suggested that you do not run the irqbalance daemon on your + system, as this will change any smp_affinity setting you have applied. + The irqbalance daemon runs on a 10 second interval and binds interrupts + to the least loaded CPU determined by the daemon. To disable this daemon:: + + chkconfig --level 2345 irqbalance off + + By default, some Linux distributions enable the kernel feature, + irqbalance, which performs the same function as the daemon. To disable + this feature, add the following line to your bootloader:: + + noirqbalance + + Example using the Grub bootloader:: + + title Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.4.21-27.ELsmp) + root (hd0,0) + kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-27.ELsmp ro root=/dev/hda3 noirqbalance + initrd /initrd-2.4.21-27.ELsmp.img + + 2. After running insmod, the driver is loaded and the incorrect network + interface is brought up without running ifup. + + When using 2.4.x kernels, including RHEL kernels, the Linux kernel + invokes a script named "hotplug". This script is primarily used to + automatically bring up USB devices when they are plugged in, however, + the script also attempts to automatically bring up a network interface + after loading the kernel module. The hotplug script does this by scanning + the ifcfg-eth# config files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, looking + for HWADDR=<mac_address>. + + If the hotplug script does not find the HWADDRR within any of the + ifcfg-eth# files, it will bring up the device with the next available + interface name. If this interface is already configured for a different + network card, your new interface will have incorrect IP address and + network settings. + + To solve this issue, you can add the HWADDR=<mac_address> key to the + interface config file of your network controller. + + To disable this "hotplug" feature, you may add the driver (module name) + to the "blacklist" file located in /etc/hotplug. It has been noted that + this does not work for network devices because the net.agent script + does not use the blacklist file. Simply remove, or rename, the net.agent + script located in /etc/hotplug to disable this feature. + + 3. Transport Protocol (TP) hangs when running heavy multi-connection traffic + on an AMD Opteron system with HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel chipset. + + If your AMD Opteron system uses the AMD-8131 HyperTransport PCI-X Tunnel + chipset, you may experience the "133-Mhz Mode Split Completion Data + Corruption" bug identified by AMD while using a 133Mhz PCI-X card on the + bus PCI-X bus. + + AMD states, "Under highly specific conditions, the AMD-8131 PCI-X Tunnel + can provide stale data via split completion cycles to a PCI-X card that + is operating at 133 Mhz", causing data corruption. + + AMD's provides three workarounds for this problem, however, Chelsio + recommends the first option for best performance with this bug: + + For 133Mhz secondary bus operation, limit the transaction length and + the number of outstanding transactions, via BIOS configuration + programming of the PCI-X card, to the following: + + Data Length (bytes): 1k + + Total allowed outstanding transactions: 2 + + Please refer to AMD 8131-HT/PCI-X Errata 26310 Rev 3.08 August 2004, + section 56, "133-MHz Mode Split Completion Data Corruption" for more + details with this bug and workarounds suggested by AMD. + + It may be possible to work outside AMD's recommended PCI-X settings, try + increasing the Data Length to 2k bytes for increased performance. If you + have issues with these settings, please revert to the "safe" settings + and duplicate the problem before submitting a bug or asking for support. + + .. note:: + + The default setting on most systems is 8 outstanding transactions + and 2k bytes data length. + + 4. On multiprocessor systems, it has been noted that an application which + is handling 10Gb networking can switch between CPUs causing degraded + and/or unstable performance. + + If running on an SMP system and taking performance measurements, it + is suggested you either run the latest netperf-2.4.0+ or use a binding + tool such as Tim Hockin's procstate utilities (runon) + <http://www.hockin.org/~thockin/procstate/>. + + Binding netserver and netperf (or other applications) to particular + CPUs will have a significant difference in performance measurements. + You may need to experiment which CPU to bind the application to in + order to achieve the best performance for your system. + + If you are developing an application designed for 10Gb networking, + please keep in mind you may want to look at kernel functions + sched_setaffinity & sched_getaffinity to bind your application. + + If you are just running user-space applications such as ftp, telnet, + etc., you may want to try the runon tool provided by Tim Hockin's + procstate utility.

Cirrus Logic LAN CS8900/CS8920 Ethernet Adapters +=================================================== + + +1.1. Product Overview +===================== + +The CS8900-based ISA Ethernet Adapters from Cirrus Logic follow +IEEE 802.3 standards and support half or full-duplex operation in ISA bus +computers on 10 Mbps Ethernet networks. The adapters are designed for operation +in 16-bit ISA or EISA bus expansion slots and are available in +10BaseT-only or 3-media configurations (10BaseT, 10Base2, and AUI for 10Base-5 +or fiber networks). + +CS8920-based adapters are similar to the CS8900-based adapter with additional +features for Plug and Play (PnP) support and Wakeup Frame recognition. As +such, the configuration procedures differ somewhat between the two types of +adapters. Refer to the "Adapter Configuration" section for details on +configuring both types of adapters. + + +1.2. Driver Description +======================= + +The CS8900/CS8920 Ethernet Adapter driver for Linux supports the Linux +v2.3.48 or greater kernel. It can be compiled directly into the kernel +or loaded at run-time as a device driver module. + +1.2.1 Driver Name: cs89x0 + +1.2.2 Files in the Driver Archive: + +The files in the driver at Cirrus' website include: + + =================== ==================================================== + readme.txt this file + build batch file to compile cs89x0.c. + cs89x0.c driver C code + cs89x0.h driver header file + cs89x0.o pre-compiled module (for v2.2.5 kernel) + config/Config.in sample file to include cs89x0 driver in the kernel. + config/Makefile sample file to include cs89x0 driver in the kernel. + config/Space.c sample file to include cs89x0 driver in the kernel. + =================== ==================================================== + + + +1.3. System Requirements +------------------------ + +The following hardware is required: + + * Cirrus Logic LAN (CS8900/20-based) Ethernet ISA Adapter + + * IBM or IBM-compatible PC with: + * An 80386 or higher processor + * 16 bytes of contiguous IO space available between 210h - 370h + * One available IRQ (5,10,11,or 12 for the CS8900, 3-7,9-15 for CS8920). + + * Appropriate cable (and connector for AUI, 10BASE-2) for your network + topology. + +The following software is required: + +* LINUX kernel version 2.3.48 or higher + + * CS8900/20 Setup Utility (DOS-based) + + * LINUX kernel sources for your kernel (if compiling into kernel) + + * GNU Toolkit (gcc and make) v2.6 or above (if compiling into kernel + or a module) + + + +1.4.

Adapter Installation and Configuration +========================================= + +Both the CS8900 and CS8920-based adapters can be configured using parameters +stored in an on-board EEPROM. You must use the DOS-based CS8900/20 Setup +Utility if you want to change the adapter's configuration in EEPROM. + +When loading the driver as a module, you can specify many of the adapter's +configuration parameters on the command-line to override the EEPROM's settings +or for interface configuration when an EEPROM is not used. (CS8920-based +adapters must use an EEPROM.) See Section 3.0 LOADING THE DRIVER AS A MODULE. + +Since the CS8900/20 Setup Utility is a DOS-based application, you must install +and configure the adapter in a DOS-based system using the CS8900/20 Setup +Utility before installation in the target LINUX system. (Not required if +installing a CS8900-based adapter and the default configuration is acceptable.) + + +2.1. CS8900-based Adapter Configuration +--------------------------------------- + +CS8900-based adapters shipped from Cirrus Logic have been configured +with the following "default" settings:: + + Operation Mode: Memory Mode + IRQ: 10 + Base I/O Address: 300 + Memory Base Address: D0000 + Optimization: DOS Client + Transmission Mode: Half-duplex + BootProm: None + Media Type: Autodetect (3-media cards) or + 10BASE-T (10BASE-T only adapter) + +You should only change the default configuration settings if conflicts with +another adapter exists. To change the adapter's configuration, run the +CS8900/20 Setup Utility. + + +2.2. CS8920-based Adapter Configuration +--------------------------------------- + +CS8920-based adapters are shipped from Cirrus Logic configured as Plug +and Play (PnP) enabled. However, since the cs89x0 driver does NOT +support PnP, you must install the CS8920 adapter in a DOS-based PC and +run the CS8900/20 Setup Utility to disable PnP and configure the +adapter before installation in the target Linux system. Failure to do +this will leave the adapter inactive and the driver will be unable to +communicate with the adapter. + +:: + + **************************************************************** + * CS8920-BASED ADAPTERS: * + * * + * CS8920-BASED ADAPTERS ARE PLUG and PLAY ENABLED BY DEFAULT. * + * THE CS89X0 DRIVER DOES NOT SUPPORT PnP. THEREFORE, YOU MUST * + * RUN THE CS8900/20 SETUP UTILITY TO DISABLE PnP SUPPORT AND * + * TO ACTIVATE THE ADAPTER. * + **************************************************************** + + + + +3. Loading the Driver as a Module +================================= + +If the driver is compiled as a loadable module, you can load the driver module +with the 'modprobe' command. Many of the adapter's configuration parameters can +be specified as command-line arguments to the load command. This facility +provides a means to override the EEPROM's settings or for interface +configuration when an EEPROM is not used. + +Example:: + + insmod cs89x0.o io=0x200 irq=0xA media=aui + +This example loads the module and configures the adapter to use an IO port base +address of 200h, interrupt 10, and use the AUI media connection. The following +configuration options are available on the command line:: + + io=### - specify IO address (200h-360h) + irq=## - specify interrupt level + use_dma=1 - Enable DMA + dma=# - specify dma channel (Driver is compiled to support + Rx DMA only) + dmasize=# (16 or 64) - DMA size 16K or 64K. Default value is set to 16. + media=rj45 - specify media type + or media=bnc + or media=aui + or media=auto + duplex=full - specify forced half/full/autonegotiate duplex + or duplex=half + or duplex=auto + debug=# - debug level (only available if the driver was compiled + for debugging) + +**Notes:** + +a) If an EEPROM is present, any specified command-line parameter + will override the corresponding configuration value stored in + EEPROM. + +b) The "io" parameter must be specified on the command-line. + +c) The driver's hardware probe routine is designed to avoid + writing to I/O space until it knows that there is a cs89x0 + card at the written addresses. This could cause problems + with device probing. To avoid this behaviour, add one + to the ``io=`` module parameter. This doesn't actually change + the I/O address, but it is a flag to tell the driver + to partially initialise the hardware before trying to + identify the card. This could be dangerous if you are + not sure that there is a cs89x0 card at the provided address. + + For example, to scan for an adapter located at IO base 0x300, + specify an IO address of 0x301. + +d) The "duplex=auto" parameter is only supported for the CS8920. + +e) The minimum command-line configuration required if an EEPROM is + not present is: + + io + irq + media type (no autodetect) + +f) The following additional parameters are CS89XX defaults (values + used with no EEPROM or command-line argument). + + * DMA Burst = enabled + * IOCHRDY Enabled = enabled + * UseSA = enabled + * CS8900 defaults to half-duplex if not specified on command-line + * CS8920 defaults to autoneg if not specified on command-line + * Use reset defaults for other config parameters + * dma_mode = 0 + +g) You can use ifconfig to set the adapter's Ethernet address. + +h) Many Linux distributions use the 'modprobe' command to load + modules. This program uses the '/etc/conf.modules' file to + determine configuration information which is passed to a driver + module when it is loaded. All the configuration options which are + described above may be placed within /etc/conf.modules. + + For example:: + + > cat /etc/conf.modules + ... + alias eth0 cs89x0 + options cs89x0 io=0x0200 dma=5 use_dma=1 + ... + + In this example we are telling the module system that the + ethernet driver for this machine should use the cs89x0 driver. We + are asking 'modprobe' to pass the 'io', 'dma' and 'use_dma' + arguments to the driver when it is loaded. + +i) Cirrus recommend that the cs89x0 use the ISA DMA channels 5, 6 or + 7. You will probably find that other DMA channels will not work. + +j) The cs89x0 supports DMA for receiving only. DMA mode is + significantly more efficient. Flooding a 400 MHz Celeron machine + with large ping packets consumes 82% of its CPU capacity in non-DMA + mode. With DMA this is reduced to 45%. + +k) If your Linux kernel was compiled with inbuilt plug-and-play + support you will be able to find information about the cs89x0 card + with the command:: + + cat /proc/isapnp + +l) If during DMA operation you find erratic behavior or network data + corruption you should use your PC's BIOS to slow the EISA bus clock. + +m) If the cs89x0 driver is compiled directly into the kernel + (non-modular) then its I/O address is automatically determined by + ISA bus probing. The IRQ number, media options, etc are determined + from the card's EEPROM. + +n) If the cs89x0 driver is compiled directly into the kernel, DMA + mode may be selected by providing the kernel with a boot option + 'cs89x0_dma=N' where 'N' is the desired DMA channel number (5, 6 or 7). + + Kernel boot options may be provided on the LILO command line:: + + LILO boot: linux cs89x0_dma=5 + + or they may be placed in /etc/lilo.conf:: + + image=/boot/bzImage-2.3.48 + append="cs89x0_dma=5" + label=linux + root=/dev/hda5 + read-only + + The DMA Rx buffer size is hardwired to 16 kbytes in this mode. + (64k mode is not available). + + +4. Compiling the Driver +======================= + +The cs89x0 driver can be compiled directly into the kernel or compiled into +a loadable device driver module. + +Just use the standard way to configure the driver and compile the Kernel. + + +4.1. Compiling the Driver to Support Rx DMA +------------------------------------------- + +The compile-time optionality for DMA was removed in the 2.3 kernel +series. DMA support is now unconditionally part of the driver. It is +enabled by the 'use_dma=1' module option. + + +5. Testing and Troubleshooting +============================== + +5.1. Known Defects and Limitations +---------------------------------- + +Refer to the RELEASE.TXT file distributed as part of this archive for a list of +known defects, driver limitations, and work arounds. + + +5.2. Testing the Adapter +------------------------ + +Once the adapter has been installed and configured, the diagnostic option of +the CS8900/20 Setup Utility can be used to test the functionality of the +adapter and its network connection. Use the diagnostics 'Self Test' option to +test the functionality of the adapter with the hardware configuration you have +assigned. You can use the diagnostics 'Network Test' to test the ability of the +adapter to communicate across the Ethernet with another PC equipped with a +CS8900/20-based adapter card (it must also be running the CS8900/20 Setup +Utility). + +.. note:: + + The Setup Utility's diagnostics are designed to run in a + DOS-only operating system environment. DO NOT run the diagnostics + from a DOS or command prompt session under Windows 95, Windows NT, + OS/2, or other operating system. + +To run the diagnostics tests on the CS8900/20 adapter: + + 1. Boot DOS on the PC and start the CS8900/20 Setup Utility. + + 2. The adapter's current configuration is displayed. Hit the ENTER key to + get to the main menu. + + 4. Select 'Diagnostics' (ALT-G) from the main menu. + * Select 'Self-Test' to test the adapter's basic functionality. + * Select 'Network Test' to test the network connection and cabling. + + +5.2.1. Diagnostic Self-test +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The diagnostic self-test checks the adapter's basic functionality as well as +its ability to communicate across the ISA bus based on the system resources +assigned during hardware configuration. The following tests are performed: + + * IO Register Read/Write Test + + The IO Register Read/Write test insures that the CS8900/20 can be + accessed in IO mode, and that the IO base address is correct. + + * Shared Memory Test + + The Shared Memory test insures the CS8900/20 can be accessed in memory + mode and that the range of memory addresses assigned does not conflict + with other devices in the system. + + * Interrupt Test + + The Interrupt test insures there are no conflicts with the assigned IRQ + signal. + + * EEPROM Test + + The EEPROM test insures the EEPROM can be read. + + * Chip RAM Test + + The Chip RAM test insures the 4K of memory internal to the CS8900/20 is + working properly. + + * Internal Loop-back Test + + The Internal Loop Back test insures the adapter's transmitter and + receiver are operating properly. If this test fails, make sure the + adapter's cable is connected to the network (check for LED activity for + example). + + * Boot PROM Test + + The Boot PROM test insures the Boot PROM is present, and can be read. + Failure indicates the Boot PROM was not successfully read due to a + hardware problem or due to a conflicts on the Boot PROM address + assignment. (Test only applies if the adapter is configured to use the + Boot PROM option.) + +Failure of a test item indicates a possible system resource conflict with +another device on the ISA bus. In this case, you should use the Manual Setup +option to reconfigure the adapter by selecting a different value for the system +resource that failed. + + +5.2.2. Diagnostic Network Test +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The Diagnostic Network Test verifies a working network connection by +transferring data between two CS8900/20 adapters installed in different PCs +on the same network. (Note: the diagnostic network test should not be run +between two nodes across a router.) + +This test requires that each of the two PCs have a CS8900/20-based adapter +installed and have the CS8900/20 Setup Utility running. The first PC is +configured as a Responder and the other PC is configured as an Initiator. +Once the Initiator is started, it sends data frames to the Responder which +returns the frames to the Initiator. + +The total number of frames received and transmitted are displayed on the +Initiator's display, along with a count of the number of frames received and +transmitted OK or in error. The test can be terminated anytime by the user at +either PC. + +To setup the Diagnostic Network Test: + + 1. Select a PC with a CS8900/20-based adapter and a known working network + connection to act as the Responder. Run the CS8900/20 Setup Utility + and select 'Diagnostics -> Network Test -> Responder' from the main + menu. Hit ENTER to start the Responder. + + 2. Return to the PC with the CS8900/20-based adapter you want to test and + start the CS8900/20 Setup Utility. + + 3. From the main menu, Select 'Diagnostic -> Network Test -> Initiator'. + Hit ENTER to start the test. + +You may stop the test on the Initiator at any time while allowing the Responder +to continue running. In this manner, you can move to additional PCs and test +them by starting the Initiator on another PC without having to stop/start the +Responder. + + + +5.3. Using the Adapter's LEDs +----------------------------- + +The 2 and 3-media adapters have two LEDs visible on the back end of the board +located near the 10Base-T connector. + +Link Integrity LED: A "steady" ON of the green LED indicates a valid 10Base-T +connection. (Only applies to 10Base-T. The green LED has no significance for +a 10Base-2 or AUI connection.) + +TX/RX LED: The yellow LED lights briefly each time the adapter transmits or +receives data. (The yellow LED will appear to "flicker" on a typical network.) + + +5.4. Resolving I/O Conflicts +---------------------------- + +An IO conflict occurs when two or more adapter use the same ISA resource (IO +address, memory address or IRQ). You can usually detect an IO conflict in one +of four ways after installing and or configuring the CS8900/20-based adapter: + + 1. The system does not boot properly (or at all). + + 2. The driver cannot communicate with the adapter, reporting an "Adapter + not found" error message. + + 3. You cannot connect to the network or the driver will not load. + + 4. If you have configured the adapter to run in memory mode but the driver + reports it is using IO mode when loading, this is an indication of a + memory address conflict. + +If an IO conflict occurs, run the CS8900/20 Setup Utility and perform a +diagnostic self-test. Normally, the ISA resource in conflict will fail the +self-test. If so, reconfigure the adapter selecting another choice for the +resource in conflict. Run the diagnostics again to check for further IO +conflicts. + +In some cases, such as when the PC will not boot, it may be necessary to remove +the adapter and reconfigure it by installing it in another PC to run the +CS8900/20 Setup Utility. Once reinstalled in the target system, run the +diagnostics self-test to ensure the new configuration is free of conflicts +before loading the driver again. + +When manually configuring the adapter, keep in mind the typical ISA system +resource usage as indicated in the tables below. + +:: + + I/O Address Device IRQ Device + ----------- -------- --- -------- + 200-20F Game I/O adapter 3 COM2, Bus Mouse + 230-23F Bus Mouse 4 COM1 + 270-27F LPT3: third parallel port 5 LPT2 + 2F0-2FF COM2: second serial port 6 Floppy Disk controller + 320-32F Fixed disk controller 7 LPT1 + 8 Real-time Clock + 9 EGA/VGA display adapter + 12 Mouse (PS/2) + Memory Address Device 13 Math Coprocessor + -------------- --------------------- 14 Hard Disk controller + A000-BFFF EGA Graphics Adapter + A000-C7FF VGA Graphics Adapter + B000-BFFF Mono Graphics Adapter + B800-BFFF Color Graphics Adapter + E000-FFFF AT BIOS + + + + +6.

It is currently +maintained and tested by Ben Dooks, who should be CC: to any patches for this +driver. + + +Defining the platform device +---------------------------- + +The minimum set of resources attached to the platform device are as follows: + + 1) The physical address of the address register + 2) The physical address of the data register + 3) The IRQ line the device's interrupt pin is connected to. + +These resources should be specified in that order, as the ordering of the +two address regions is important (the driver expects these to be address +and then data). + +An example from arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-bast.c is:: + + static struct resource bast_dm9k_resource[] = { + [0] = { + .start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000, + .end = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 3, + .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, + }, + [1] = { + .start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40, + .end = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40 + 0x3f, + .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM, + }, + [2] = { + .start = IRQ_DM9000, + .end = IRQ_DM9000, + .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHLEVEL, + } + }; + + static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = { + .name = "dm9000", + .id = 0, + .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource), + .resource = bast_dm9k_resource, + }; + +Note the setting of the IRQ trigger flag in bast_dm9k_resource[2].flags, +as this will generate a warning if it is not present. The trigger from +the flags field will be passed to request_irq() when registering the IRQ +handler to ensure that the IRQ is setup correctly. + +This shows a typical platform device, without the optional configuration +platform data supplied. The next example uses the same resources, but adds +the optional platform data to pass extra configuration data:: + + static struct dm9000_plat_data bast_dm9k_platdata = { + .flags = DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY, + }; + + static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = { + .name = "dm9000", + .id = 0, + .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource), + .resource = bast_dm9k_resource, + .dev = { + .platform_data = &bast_dm9k_platdata, + } + }; + +The platform data is defined in include/linux/dm9000.h and described below. + + +Platform data +------------- + +Extra platform data for the DM9000 can describe the IO bus width to the +device, whether or not an external PHY is attached to the device and +the availability of an external configuration EEPROM. + +The flags for the platform data .flags field are as follows: + +DM9000_PLATF_8BITONLY + + The IO should be done with 8bit operations. + +DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY + + The IO should be done with 16bit operations. + +DM9000_PLATF_32BITONLY + + The IO should be done with 32bit operations. + +DM9000_PLATF_EXT_PHY + + The chip is connected to an external PHY. + +DM9000_PLATF_NO_EEPROM + + This can be used to signify that the board does not have an + EEPROM, or that the EEPROM should be hidden from the user. + +DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY + + Switch to using the simpler PHY polling method which does not + try and read the MII PHY state regularly.

This is managed by several methods +depending on the version of the chip and on which PHY is being used. + +For the internal PHY, the original (and currently default) method is +to read the MII state, either when the status changes if we have the +necessary interrupt support in the chip or every two seconds via a +periodic timer. + +To reduce the overhead for the internal PHY, there is now the option +of using the DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL config, or DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY +platform data option to read the summary information without the +expensive MII accesses. This method is faster, but does not print +as much information. + +When using an external PHY, the driver currently has to poll the MII +link status as there is no method for getting an interrupt on link change. + + +DM9000A / DM9000B +----------------- + +These chips are functionally similar to the DM9000E and are supported easily +by the same driver. The features are: + + 1) Interrupt on internal PHY state change. This means that the periodic + polling of the PHY status may be disabled on these devices when using + the internal PHY. + + 2) TCP/UDP checksum offloading, which the driver does not currently support. + + +ethtool +------- + +The driver supports the ethtool interface for access to the driver +state information, the PHY state and the EEPROM. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/dec/de4x5.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/dec/de4x5.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..e03e9c631879 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/dec/de4x5.rst @@ -0,0 +1,189 @@ +..

Their error is +/-20k on a quiet (private) network and also + depend on what load the CPU has. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + The ability to load this driver as a loadable module has been included + and used extensively during the driver development (to save those long + reboot sequences). Loadable module support under PCI and EISA has been + achieved by letting the driver autoprobe as if it were compiled into the + kernel. Do make sure you're not sharing interrupts with anything that + cannot accommodate interrupt sharing! + + To utilise this ability, you have to do 8 things: + + 0) have a copy of the loadable modules code installed on your system. + 1) copy de4x5.c from the /linux/drivers/net directory to your favourite + temporary directory. + 2) for fixed autoprobes (not recommended), edit the source code near + line 5594 to reflect the I/O address you're using, or assign these when + loading by:: + + insmod de4x5 io=0xghh where g = bus number + hh = device number + + .. note:: + + autoprobing for modules is now supported by default. You may just + use:: + + insmod de4x5 + + to load all available boards. For a specific board, still use + the 'io=?' above. + 3) compile de4x5.c, but include -DMODULE in the command line to ensure + that the correct bits are compiled (see end of source code). + 4) if you are wanting to add a new card, goto 5. Otherwise, recompile a + kernel with the de4x5 configuration turned off and reboot. + 5) insmod de4x5 [io=0xghh] + 6) run the net startup bits for your new eth?? interface(s) manually + (usually /etc/rc.inet[12] at boot time). + 7) enjoy! + + To unload a module, turn off the associated interface(s) + 'ifconfig eth?? down' then 'rmmod de4x5'. + + Automedia detection is included so that in principle you can disconnect + from, e.g. TP, reconnect to BNC and things will still work (after a + pause while the driver figures out where its media went). My tests + using ping showed that it appears to work.... + + By default, the driver will now autodetect any DECchip based card. + Should you have a need to restrict the driver to DIGITAL only cards, you + can compile with a DEC_ONLY define, or if loading as a module, use the + 'dec_only=1' parameter. + + I've changed the timing routines to use the kernel timer and scheduling + functions so that the hangs and other assorted problems that occurred + while autosensing the media should be gone. A bonus for the DC21040 + auto media sense algorithm is that it can now use one that is more in + line with the rest (the DC21040 chip doesn't have a hardware timer). + The downside is the 1 'jiffies' (10ms) resolution. + + IEEE 802.3u MII interface code has been added in anticipation that some + products may use it in the future. + + The SMC9332 card has a non-compliant SROM which needs fixing - I have + patched this driver to detect it because the SROM format used complies + to a previous DEC-STD format. + + I have removed the buffer copies needed for receive on Intels. I cannot + remove them for Alphas since the Tulip hardware only does longword + aligned DMA transfers and the Alphas get alignment traps with non + longword aligned data copies (which makes them really slow). No comment. + + I have added SROM decoding routines to make this driver work with any + card that supports the Digital Semiconductor SROM spec. This will help + all cards running the dc2114x series chips in particular. Cards using + the dc2104x chips should run correctly with the basic driver. I'm in + debt to <mjacob@feral.com> for the testing and feedback that helped get + this feature working. So far we have tested KINGSTON, SMC8432, SMC9332 + (with the latest SROM complying with the SROM spec V3: their first was + broken), ZNYX342 and LinkSys. ZNYX314 (dual 21041 MAC) and ZNYX 315 + (quad 21041 MAC) cards also appear to work despite their incorrectly + wired IRQs. + + I have added a temporary fix for interrupt problems when some SCSI cards + share the same interrupt as the DECchip based cards. The problem occurs + because the SCSI card wants to grab the interrupt as a fast interrupt + (runs the service routine with interrupts turned off) vs. this card + which really needs to run the service routine with interrupts turned on. + This driver will now add the interrupt service routine as a fast + interrupt if it is bounced from the slow interrupt. THIS IS NOT A + RECOMMENDED WAY TO RUN THE DRIVER and has been done for a limited time + until people sort out their compatibility issues and the kernel + interrupt service code is fixed. YOU SHOULD SEPARATE OUT THE FAST + INTERRUPT CARDS FROM THE SLOW INTERRUPT CARDS to ensure that they do not + run on the same interrupt. PCMCIA/CardBus is another can of worms... + + Finally, I think I have really fixed the module loading problem with + more than one DECchip based card. As a side effect, I don't mess with + the device structure any more which means that if more than 1 card in + 2.0.x is installed (4 in 2.1.x), the user will have to edit + linux/drivers/net/Space.c to make room for them. Hence, module loading + is the preferred way to use this driver, since it doesn't have this + limitation. + + Where SROM media detection is used and full duplex is specified in the + SROM, the feature is ignored unless lp->params.fdx is set at compile + time OR during a module load (insmod de4x5 args='eth??:fdx' [see + below]). This is because there is no way to automatically detect full + duplex links except through autonegotiation. When I include the + autonegotiation feature in the SROM autoconf code, this detection will + occur automatically for that case. + + Command line arguments are now allowed, similar to passing arguments + through LILO. This will allow a per adapter board set up of full duplex + and media. The only lexical constraints are: the board name (dev->name) + appears in the list before its parameters. The list of parameters ends + either at the end of the parameter list or with another board name. The + following parameters are allowed: + + ========= =============================================== + fdx for full duplex + autosense to set the media/speed; with the following + sub-parameters: + TP, TP_NW, BNC, AUI, BNC_AUI, 100Mb, 10Mb, AUTO + ========= =============================================== + + Case sensitivity is important for the sub-parameters. They *must* be + upper case. Examples:: + + insmod de4x5 args='eth1:fdx autosense=BNC eth0:autosense=100Mb'. + + For a compiled in driver, in linux/drivers/net/CONFIG, place e.g.:: + + DE4X5_OPTS = -DDE4X5_PARM='"eth0:fdx autosense=AUI eth2:autosense=TP"' + + Yes, I know full duplex isn't permissible on BNC or AUI; they're just + examples. By default, full duplex is turned off and AUTO is the default + autosense setting. In reality, I expect only the full duplex option to + be used. Note the use of single quotes in the two examples above and the + lack of commas to separate items. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/dec/dmfe.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/dec/dmfe.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c4cf809cad84 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/dec/dmfe.rst @@ -0,0 +1,71 @@ +..

Driver will automatically load and configure at next boot time. + +Compiling the Driver +==================== +In Linux, NIC drivers are most commonly configured as loadable modules. +The approach of building a monolithic kernel has become obsolete. The driver +can be compiled as part of a monolithic kernel, but is strongly discouraged. +The remainder of this section assumes the driver is built as a loadable module. +In the Linux environment, it is a good idea to rebuild the driver from the +source instead of relying on a precompiled version. This approach provides +better reliability since a precompiled driver might depend on libraries or +kernel features that are not present in a given Linux installation. + +The 3 files necessary to build Linux device driver are dl2k.c, dl2k.h and +Makefile. To compile, the Linux installation must include the gcc compiler, +the kernel source, and the kernel headers. The Linux driver supports Linux +Kernels 2.4.7. Copy the files to a directory and enter the following command +to compile and link the driver: + +CD-ROM drive +------------ + +:: + + [root@XXX /] mkdir cdrom + [root@XXX /] mount -r -t iso9660 -o conv=auto /dev/cdrom /cdrom + [root@XXX /] cd root + [root@XXX /root] mkdir dl2k + [root@XXX /root] cd dl2k + [root@XXX dl2k] cp /cdrom/linux/dl2k.tgz /root/dl2k + [root@XXX dl2k] tar xfvz dl2k.tgz + [root@XXX dl2k] make all + +Floppy disc drive +----------------- + +:: + + [root@XXX /] cd root + [root@XXX /root] mkdir dl2k + [root@XXX /root] cd dl2k + [root@XXX dl2k] mcopy a:/linux/dl2k.tgz /root/dl2k + [root@XXX dl2k] tar xfvz dl2k.tgz + [root@XXX dl2k] make all + +Installing the Driver +===================== + +Manual Installation +------------------- + + Once the driver has been compiled, it must be loaded, enabled, and bound + to a protocol stack in order to establish network connectivity.

The following description + is based on a Red Hat 6.0/7.0 distribution, but it can easily be ported to + other distributions as well. + +Red Hat v6.x/v7.x +----------------- + 1. Copy dl2k.o to the network modules directory, typically + /lib/modules/2.x.x-xx/net or /lib/modules/2.x.x/kernel/drivers/net. + 2. Locate the boot module configuration file, most commonly in the + /etc/modprobe.d/ directory. Add the following lines:: + + alias ethx dl2k + options dl2k <optional parameters> + + where ethx will be eth0 if the NIC is the only ethernet adapter, eth1 if + one other ethernet adapter is installed, etc. Refer to the table in the + previous section for the list of optional parameters. + 3. Locate the network configuration scripts, normally the + /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory, and create a configuration + script named ifcfg-ethx that contains network information. + 4. Note that for most Linux distributions, Red Hat included, a configuration + utility with a graphical user interface is provided to perform steps 2 + and 3 above. + + +Parameter Description +===================== +You can install this driver without any additional parameter.

The driver initializes and seeds these +with one page buffers. + +On Tx, all transmitted frames are returned to the driver through Tx +confirmation frame queues. The driver is then responsible for freeing the +buffers. In order to do this properly, a backpointer is added to the buffer +before transmission that points to the skb. When the buffer returns to the +driver on a confirmation FQ, the skb can be correctly consumed. + +DPAA Ethernet Features +====================== + +Currently the DPAA Ethernet driver enables the basic features required for +a Linux Ethernet driver. The support for advanced features will be added +gradually. + +The driver has Rx and Tx checksum offloading for UDP and TCP. Currently the Rx +checksum offload feature is enabled by default and cannot be controlled through +ethtool. Also, rx-flow-hash and rx-hashing was added. The addition of RSS +provides a big performance boost for the forwarding scenarios, allowing +different traffic flows received by one interface to be processed by different +CPUs in parallel. + +The driver has support for multiple prioritized Tx traffic classes. Priorities +range from 0 (lowest) to 3 (highest). These are mapped to HW workqueues with +strict priority levels. Each traffic class contains NR_CPU TX queues. By +default, only one traffic class is enabled and the lowest priority Tx queues +are used. Higher priority traffic classes can be enabled with the mqprio +qdisc. For example, all four traffic classes are enabled on an interface with +the following command. Furthermore, skb priority levels are mapped to traffic +classes as follows: + + * priorities 0 to 3 - traffic class 0 (low priority) + * priorities 4 to 7 - traffic class 1 (medium-low priority) + * priorities 8 to 11 - traffic class 2 (medium-high priority) + * priorities 12 to 15 - traffic class 3 (high priority) + +:: + + tc qdisc add dev <int> root handle 1: \ + mqprio num_tc 4 map 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 hw 1 + +DPAA IRQ Affinity and Receive Side Scaling +========================================== + +Traffic coming on the DPAA Rx queues or on the DPAA Tx confirmation +queues is seen by the CPU as ingress traffic on a certain portal. +The DPAA QMan portal interrupts are affined each to a certain CPU. +The same portal interrupt services all the QMan portal consumers. + +By default the DPAA Ethernet driver enables RSS, making use of the +DPAA FMan Parser and Keygen blocks to distribute traffic on 128 +hardware frame queues using a hash on IP v4/v6 source and destination +and L4 source and destination ports, in present in the received frame. +When RSS is disabled, all traffic received by a certain interface is +received on the default Rx frame queue. The default DPAA Rx frame +queues are configured to put the received traffic into a pool channel +that allows any available CPU portal to dequeue the ingress traffic. +The default frame queues have the HOLDACTIVE option set, ensuring that +traffic bursts from a certain queue are serviced by the same CPU. +This ensures a very low rate of frame reordering. A drawback of this +is that only one CPU at a time can service the traffic received by a +certain interface when RSS is not enabled. + +To implement RSS, the DPAA Ethernet driver allocates an extra set of +128 Rx frame queues that are configured to dedicated channels, in a +round-robin manner. The mapping of the frame queues to CPUs is now +hardcoded, there is no indirection table to move traffic for a certain +FQ (hash result) to another CPU. The ingress traffic arriving on one +of these frame queues will arrive at the same portal and will always +be processed by the same CPU. This ensures intra-flow order preservation +and workload distribution for multiple traffic flows. + +RSS can be turned off for a certain interface using ethtool, i.e.:: + + # ethtool -N fm1-mac9 rx-flow-hash tcp4 "" + +To turn it back on, one needs to set rx-flow-hash for tcp4/6 or udp4/6:: + + # ethtool -N fm1-mac9 rx-flow-hash udp4 sfdn + +There is no independent control for individual protocols, any command +run for one of tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6 is +going to control the rx-flow-hashing for all protocols on that interface. + +Besides using the FMan Keygen computed hash for spreading traffic on the +128 Rx FQs, the DPAA Ethernet driver also sets the skb hash value when +the NETIF_F_RXHASH feature is on (active by default). This can be turned +on or off through ethtool, i.e.:: + + # ethtool -K fm1-mac9 rx-hashing off + # ethtool -k fm1-mac9 | grep hash + receive-hashing: off + # ethtool -K fm1-mac9 rx-hashing on + Actual changes: + receive-hashing: on + # ethtool -k fm1-mac9 | grep hash + receive-hashing: on + +Please note that Rx hashing depends upon the rx-flow-hashing being on +for that interface - turning off rx-flow-hashing will also disable the +rx-hashing (without ethtool reporting it as off as that depends on the +NETIF_F_RXHASH feature flag). + +Debugging +========= + +The following statistics are exported for each interface through ethtool: + + - interrupt count per CPU + - Rx packets count per CPU + - Tx packets count per CPU + - Tx confirmed packets count per CPU + - Tx S/G frames count per CPU + - Tx error count per CPU + - Rx error count per CPU + - Rx error count per type + - congestion related statistics: + + - congestion status + - time spent in congestion + - number of time the device entered congestion + - dropped packets count per cause + +The driver also exports the following information in sysfs: + + - the FQ IDs for each FQ type + /sys/devices/platform/soc/<addr>.fman/<addr>.ethernet/dpaa-ethernet.<id>/net/fm<nr>-mac<nr>/fqids + + - the ID of the buffer pool in use + /sys/devices/platform/soc/<addr>.fman/<addr>.ethernet/dpaa-ethernet.<id>/net/fm<nr>-mac<nr>/bpids diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpio-driver.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpio-driver.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c50fd46631e0 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpio-driver.rst @@ -0,0 +1,160 @@ +.. include:: <isonum.txt> + +DPAA2 DPIO (Data Path I/O) Overview +=================================== + +:Copyright: |copy| 2016-2018 NXP + +This document provides an overview of the Freescale DPAA2 DPIO +drivers + +Introduction +============ + +A DPAA2 DPIO (Data Path I/O) is a hardware object that provides +interfaces to enqueue and dequeue frames to/from network interfaces +and other accelerators.

DPAA2 consists of sophisticated mechanisms for +processing Ethernet packets, queue management, buffer management, +autonomous L2 switching, virtual Ethernet bridging, and accelerator +(e.g. crypto) sharing. + +A DPAA2 hardware component called the Management Complex (or MC) manages the +DPAA2 hardware resources. The MC provides an object-based abstraction for +software drivers to use the DPAA2 hardware. +The MC uses DPAA2 hardware resources such as queues, buffer pools, and +network ports to create functional objects/devices such as network +interfaces, an L2 switch, or accelerator instances. +The MC provides memory-mapped I/O command interfaces (MC portals) +which DPAA2 software drivers use to operate on DPAA2 objects. + +The diagram below shows an overview of the DPAA2 resource management +architecture:: + + +--------------------------------------+ + | OS | + | DPAA2 drivers | + | | | + +-----------------------------|--------+ + | + | (create,discover,connect + | config,use,destroy) + | + DPAA2 | + +------------------------| mc portal |-+ + | | | + | +- - - - - - - - - - - - -V- - -+ | + | | | | + | | Management Complex (MC) | | + | | | | + | +- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -+ | + | | + | Hardware Hardware | + | Resources Objects | + | --------- ------- | + | -queues -DPRC | + | -buffer pools -DPMCP | + | -Eth MACs/ports -DPIO | + | -network interface -DPNI | + | profiles -DPMAC | + | -queue portals -DPBP | + | -MC portals ... | + | ... | + | | + +--------------------------------------+ + + +The MC mediates operations such as create, discover, +connect, configuration, and destroy.

In the example diagram below there +are 8 objects of 5 types (DPMCP, DPIO, DPBP, DPNI, and DPMAC) +in the container. + +:: + + +---------------------------------------------------------+ + | DPRC | + | | + | +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ | + | | DPMCP | | DPIO | | DPBP | | DPNI | | DPMAC | | + | +-------+ +-------+ +-------+ +---+---+ +---+---+ | + | | DPMCP | | DPIO | | + | +-------+ +-------+ | + | | DPMCP | | + | +-------+ | + | | + +---------------------------------------------------------+ + +From the point of view of an OS, a DPRC behaves similar to a plug and +play bus, like PCI. DPRC commands can be used to enumerate the contents +of the DPRC, discover the hardware objects present (including mappable +regions and interrupts). + +:: + + DPRC.1 (bus) + | + +--+--------+-------+-------+-------+ + | | | | | + DPMCP.1 DPIO.1 DPBP.1 DPNI.1 DPMAC.1 + DPMCP.2 DPIO.2 + DPMCP.3 + +Hardware objects can be created and destroyed dynamically, providing +the ability to hot plug/unplug objects in and out of the DPRC. + +A DPRC has a mappable MMIO region (an MC portal) that can be used +to send MC commands. It has an interrupt for status events (like +hotplug). +All objects in a container share the same hardware "isolation context". +This means that with respect to an IOMMU the isolation granularity +is at the DPRC (container) level, not at the individual object +level. + +DPRCs can be defined statically and populated with objects +via a config file passed to the MC when firmware starts it. + +DPAA2 Objects for an Ethernet Network Interface +----------------------------------------------- + +A typical Ethernet NIC is monolithic-- the NIC device contains TX/RX +queuing mechanisms, configuration mechanisms, buffer management, +physical ports, and interrupts. DPAA2 uses a more granular approach +utilizing multiple hardware objects. Each object provides specialized +functions. Groups of these objects are used by software to provide +Ethernet network interface functionality. This approach provides +efficient use of finite hardware resources, flexibility, and +performance advantages. + +The diagram below shows the objects needed for a simple +network interface configuration on a system with 2 CPUs. + +:: + + +---+---+ +---+---+ + CPU0 CPU1 + +---+---+ +---+---+ + | | + +---+---+ +---+---+ + DPIO DPIO + +---+---+ +---+---+ + \ / + \ / + \ / + +---+---+ + DPNI --- DPBP,DPMCP + +---+---+ + | + | + +---+---+ + DPMAC + +---+---+ + | + port/PHY + +Below the objects are described.

The DPAA2 +architecture separates the mechanism to access queues (the DPIO object) +from the queues themselves. The DPIO provides an MMIO interface to +enqueue/dequeue packets. To enqueue something a descriptor is written +to the DPIO MMIO region, which includes the target queue number. +There will typically be one DPIO assigned to each CPU. This allows all +CPUs to simultaneously perform enqueue/dequeued operations. DPIOs are +expected to be shared by different DPAA2 drivers. + +- MMIO regions: queue operations, buffer management +- IRQs: data availability, congestion notification, buffer + pool depletion +- commands: IRQ config, enable, reset + +DPBP (Datapath Buffer Pool) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Represents a hardware buffer pool. + +- MMIO regions: none +- IRQs: none +- commands: enable, reset + +DPMCP (Datapath MC Portal) +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Provides an MC command portal. +Used by drivers to send commands to the MC to manage +objects. + +- MMIO regions: MC command portal +- IRQs: command completion +- commands: IRQ config, enable, reset + +Object Connections +================== +Some objects have explicit relationships that must +be configured: + +- DPNI <--> DPMAC +- DPNI <--> DPNI +- DPNI <--> L2-switch-port + + A DPNI must be connected to something such as a DPMAC, + another DPNI, or L2 switch port. The DPNI connection + is made via a DPRC command. + +:: + + +-------+ +-------+ + | DPNI | | DPMAC | + +---+---+ +---+---+ + | | + +==========+ + +- DPNI <--> DPBP + + A network interface requires a 'buffer pool' (DPBP + object) which provides a list of pointers to memory + where received Ethernet data is to be copied. The + Ethernet driver configures the DPBPs associated with + the network interface. + +Interrupts +========== +All interrupts generated by DPAA2 objects are message +interrupts. At the hardware level message interrupts +generated by devices will normally have 3 components-- +1) a non-spoofable 'device-id' expressed on the hardware +bus, 2) an address, 3) a data value. + +In the case of DPAA2 devices/objects, all objects in the +same container/DPRC share the same 'device-id'. +For ARM-based SoC this is the same as the stream ID. + + +DPAA2 Linux Drivers Overview +============================ + +This section provides an overview of the Linux kernel drivers for +DPAA2-- 1) the bus driver and associated "DPAA2 infrastructure" +drivers and 2) functional object drivers (such as Ethernet). + +As described previously, a DPRC is a container that holds the other +types of DPAA2 objects. It is functionally similar to a plug-and-play +bus controller. +Each object in the DPRC is a Linux "device" and is bound to a driver. +The diagram below shows the Linux drivers involved in a networking +scenario and the objects bound to each driver. A brief description +of each driver follows. + +:: + + +------------+ + | OS Network | + | Stack | + +------------+ +------------+ + | Allocator |. . . . . . . | Ethernet | + |(DPMCP,DPBP)| | (DPNI) | + +-.----------+ +---+---+----+ + . . ^ | + . . <data avail, | | <enqueue, + . . tx confirm> | | dequeue> + +-------------+ . | | + | DPRC driver | . +---+---V----+ +---------+ + | (DPRC) | . . . . . .| DPIO driver| | MAC | + +----------+--+ | (DPIO) | | (DPMAC) | + | +------+-----+ +-----+---+ + |<dev add/remove> | | + | | | + +--------+----------+ | +--+---+ + | MC-bus driver | | | PHY | + | | | |driver| + | /bus/fsl-mc | | +--+---+ + +-------------------+ | | + | | + ========================= HARDWARE =========|=================|====== + DPIO | + | | + DPNI---DPBP | + | | + DPMAC | + | | + PHY ---------------+ + ============================================|======================== + +A brief description of each driver is provided below. + +MC-bus driver +------------- +The MC-bus driver is a platform driver and is probed from a +node in the device tree (compatible "fsl,qoriq-mc") passed in by boot +firmware. It is responsible for bootstrapping the DPAA2 kernel +infrastructure. +Key functions include: + +- registering a new bus type named "fsl-mc" with the kernel, + and implementing bus call-backs (e.g. match/uevent/dev_groups) +- implementing APIs for DPAA2 driver registration and for device + add/remove +- creates an MSI IRQ domain +- doing a 'device add' to expose the 'root' DPRC, in turn triggering + a bind of the root DPRC to the DPRC driver + +The binding for the MC-bus device-tree node can be consulted at +*Documentation/devicetree/bindings/misc/fsl,qoriq-mc.txt*. +The sysfs bind/unbind interfaces for the MC-bus can be consulted at +*Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-fsl-mc*. + +DPRC driver +----------- +The DPRC driver is bound to DPRC objects and does runtime management +of a bus instance. It performs the initial bus scan of the DPRC +and handles interrupts for container events such as hot plug by +re-scanning the DPRC. + +Allocator +--------- +Certain objects such as DPMCP and DPBP are generic and fungible, +and are intended to be used by other drivers. For example, +the DPAA2 Ethernet driver needs: + +- DPMCPs to send MC commands, to configure network interfaces +- DPBPs for network buffer pools + +The allocator driver registers for these allocatable object types +and those objects are bound to the allocator when the bus is probed. +The allocator maintains a pool of objects that are available for +allocation by other DPAA2 drivers. + +DPIO driver +----------- +The DPIO driver is bound to DPIO objects and provides services that allow +other drivers such as the Ethernet driver to enqueue and dequeue data for +their respective objects. +Key services include: + +- data availability notifications +- hardware queuing operations (enqueue and dequeue of data) +- hardware buffer pool management + +To transmit a packet the Ethernet driver puts data on a queue and +invokes a DPIO API. For receive, the Ethernet driver registers +a data availability notification callback. To dequeue a packet +a DPIO API is used. +There is typically one DPIO object per physical CPU for optimum +performance, allowing different CPUs to simultaneously enqueue +and dequeue data. + +The DPIO driver operates on behalf of all DPAA2 drivers +active in the kernel-- Ethernet, crypto, compression, +etc. + +Ethernet driver +--------------- +The Ethernet driver is bound to a DPNI and implements the kernel +interfaces needed to connect the DPAA2 network interface to +the network stack. +Each DPNI corresponds to a Linux network interface. + +MAC driver +---------- +An Ethernet PHY is an off-chip, board specific component and is managed +by the appropriate PHY driver via an mdio bus. The MAC driver +plays a role of being a proxy between the PHY driver and the +MC. It does this proxy via the MC commands to a DPMAC object. +If the PHY driver signals a link change, the MAC driver notifies +the MC via a DPMAC command. If a network interface is brought +up or down, the MC notifies the DPMAC driver via an interrupt and +the driver can take appropriate action. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..9c4a91d3824b --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/freescale/gianfar.rst @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +..

A receive descriptor is a data + structure that describes a receive buffer and its attributes to the network + controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to write + data from the controller to host memory. In the 3.x.x driver the valid range + for this parameter is 64-256. The default value is 256. This parameter can be + changed using the command:: + + ethtool -G eth? rx n + + Where n is the number of desired Rx descriptors. + +Tx Descriptors: + Number of transmit descriptors. A transmit descriptor is a data + structure that describes a transmit buffer and its attributes to the network + controller. The data in the descriptor is used by the controller to read + data from the host memory to the controller. In the 3.x.x driver the valid + range for this parameter is 64-256. The default value is 128. This parameter + can be changed using the command:: + + ethtool -G eth? tx n + + Where n is the number of desired Tx descriptors. + +Speed/Duplex: + The driver auto-negotiates the link speed and duplex settings by + default.

The message level can be set at driver load time. It can also be + set using the command:: + + ethtool -s eth? msglvl n + + +Additional Configurations +========================= + +Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions +------------------------------------------------- + +Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started +is distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves +adding an alias line to `/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf` as well as editing other +system startup scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux +distributions ship with tools to make these changes for you. To learn +the proper way to configure a network device for your system, refer to +your distribution documentation. If during this process you are asked +for the driver or module name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for +the Intel PRO/100 Family of Adapters is e100. + +As an example, if you install the e100 driver for two PRO/100 adapters +(eth0 and eth1), add the following to a configuration file in +/etc/modprobe.d/:: + + alias eth0 e100 + alias eth1 e100 + +Viewing Link Messages +--------------------- + +In order to see link messages and other Intel driver information on your +console, you must set the dmesg level up to six. This can be done by +entering the following on the command line before loading the e100 +driver:: + + dmesg -n 6 + +If you wish to see all messages issued by the driver, including debug +messages, set the dmesg level to eight. + +NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. + +ethtool +------- + +The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and +diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The ethtool +version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality. + +The latest release of ethtool can be found from +https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/ + +Enabling Wake on LAN (WoL) +-------------------------- +WoL is provided through the ethtool utility. For instructions on +enabling WoL with ethtool, refer to the ethtool man page. WoL will be +enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot. For this +driver version, in order to enable WoL, the e100 driver must be loaded +when shutting down or rebooting the system. + +NAPI +---- + +NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the e100 driver. + +See https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi for more +information on NAPI. + +Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network +------------------------------------------------------ + +Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have one +system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain +(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces +will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system. +This results in unbalanced receive traffic. + +If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP +filtering by + +(1) entering:: + + echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter + + (this only works if your kernel's version is higher than 2.4.5), or + +(2) installing the interfaces in separate broadcast domains (either + in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs). + + +Support +======= +For general information, go to the Intel support website at: +https://www.intel.com/support/ + +or the Intel Wired Networking project hosted by Sourceforge at: +http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000 +If an issue is identified with the released source code on a supported kernel +with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue +to e1000-devel@lists.sf.net. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/e1000.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/e1000.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..4aaae0f7d6ba --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/e1000.rst @@ -0,0 +1,463 @@ +..

It does this by writing a value to the +adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter +will generate per second. + +Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 +will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts +per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt +load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, +but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly. + +The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static +InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for +all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and latency. +The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and +for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented. + +Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which +it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic +that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last +timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value +for that traffic. + +The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into +classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is +adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined: +"Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency", +for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small +packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or +minimal traffic. + +In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000 +for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low +latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased +stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications. + +For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or +grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when +InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates +the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to +70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency". + +In simplified mode the interrupt rate is based on the ratio of TX and +RX traffic. If the bytes per second rate is approximately equal, the +interrupt rate will drop as low as 2000 interrupts per second. If the +traffic is mostly transmit or mostly receive, the interrupt rate could +be as high as 8000. + +Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation +and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable +for bulk throughput traffic. + +NOTE: + InterruptThrottleRate takes precedence over the TxAbsIntDelay and + RxAbsIntDelay parameters. In other words, minimizing the receive + and/or transmit absolute delays does not force the controller to + generate more interrupts than what the Interrupt Throttle Rate + allows. + +CAUTION: + If you are using the Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection + (controller 82547), setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value + greater than 75,000, may hang (stop transmitting) adapters + under certain network conditions. If this occurs a NETDEV + WATCHDOG message is logged in the system event log. In + addition, the controller is automatically reset, restoring + the network connection. To eliminate the potential for the + hang, ensure that InterruptThrottleRate is set no greater + than 75,000 and is not set to 0. + +NOTE: + When e1000 is loaded with default settings and multiple adapters + are in use simultaneously, the CPU utilization may increase non- + linearly. In order to limit the CPU utilization without impacting + the overall throughput, we recommend that you load the driver as + follows:: + + modprobe e1000 InterruptThrottleRate=3000,3000,3000 + + This sets the InterruptThrottleRate to 3000 interrupts/sec for + the first, second, and third instances of the driver.

This reduces interrupt +load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, +but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly. + +The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static +InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for +all traffic types, but lacking in small packet performance and latency. +The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and +for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented. + +The driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which +it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic +that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last +timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value +for that traffic. + +The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into +classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is +adjusted to suit that traffic type the best.

If the adapter cannot establish link with the link partner +using auto-negotiation, you may need to manually configure the adapter and link +partner to identical settings to establish link and pass packets. This should +only be needed when attempting to link with an older switch that does not +support auto-negotiation or one that has been forced to a specific speed or +duplex mode. Your link partner must match the setting you choose. 1 Gbps speeds +and higher cannot be forced. Use the autonegotiation advertising setting to +manually set devices for 1 Gbps and higher. + +Speed, duplex, and autonegotiation advertising are configured through the +ethtool utility. + +Caution: Only experienced network administrators should force speed and duplex +or change autonegotiation advertising manually. The settings at the switch must +always match the adapter settings. Adapter performance may suffer or your +adapter may not operate if you configure the adapter differently from your +switch. + +An Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using fiber-based connections, however, +will not attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner since those adapters +operate only in full duplex and only at their native speed. + + +Enabling Wake on LAN (WoL) +-------------------------- +WoL is configured through the ethtool utility. + +WoL will be enabled on the system during the next shut down or reboot.

On these adapters, other modules are not +supported and will not function. In all cases Intel recommends using Intel +Ethernet Optics; other modules may function but are not validated by Intel. +Contact Intel for supported media types. + +NOTE: For connections based on Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 700 Series, support +is dependent on your system board. Please see your vendor for details. + +NOTE: In systems that do not have adequate airflow to cool the adapter and +optical modules, you must use high temperature optical modules. + +Virtual Functions (VFs) +----------------------- +Use sysfs to enable VFs. For example:: + + #echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs #enable VFs + #echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs #disable VFs + +For example, the following instructions will configure PF eth0 and the first VF +on VLAN 10:: + + $ ip link set dev eth0 vf 0 vlan 10 + +VLAN Tag Packet Steering +------------------------ +Allows you to send all packets with a specific VLAN tag to a particular SR-IOV +virtual function (VF). Further, this feature allows you to designate a +particular VF as trusted, and allows that trusted VF to request selective +promiscuous mode on the Physical Function (PF). + +To set a VF as trusted or untrusted, enter the following command in the +Hypervisor:: + + # ip link set dev eth0 vf 1 trust [on|off] + +Once the VF is designated as trusted, use the following commands in the VM to +set the VF to promiscuous mode. + +:: + + For promiscuous all: + #ip link set eth2 promisc on + Where eth2 is a VF interface in the VM + + For promiscuous Multicast: + #ip link set eth2 allmulticast on + Where eth2 is a VF interface in the VM + +NOTE: By default, the ethtool priv-flag vf-true-promisc-support is set to +"off",meaning that promiscuous mode for the VF will be limited. To set the +promiscuous mode for the VF to true promiscuous and allow the VF to see all +ingress traffic, use the following command:: + + #ethtool -set-priv-flags p261p1 vf-true-promisc-support on + +The vf-true-promisc-support priv-flag does not enable promiscuous mode; rather, +it designates which type of promiscuous mode (limited or true) you will get +when you enable promiscuous mode using the ip link commands above. Note that +this is a global setting that affects the entire device. However,the +vf-true-promisc-support priv-flag is only exposed to the first PF of the +device. The PF remains in limited promiscuous mode (unless it is in MFP mode) +regardless of the vf-true-promisc-support setting. + +Now add a VLAN interface on the VF interface:: + + #ip link add link eth2 name eth2.100 type vlan id 100 + +Note that the order in which you set the VF to promiscuous mode and add the +VLAN interface does not matter (you can do either first). The end result in +this example is that the VF will get all traffic that is tagged with VLAN 100. + +Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director +------------------------------- +The Intel Ethernet Flow Director performs the following tasks: + +- Directs receive packets according to their flows to different queues. +- Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform. +- Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity. +- Supports multiple parameters for flexible flow classification and load + balancing (in SFP mode only). + +NOTE: The Linux i40e driver supports the following flow types: IPv4, TCPv4, and +UDPv4. For a given flow type, it supports valid combinations of IP addresses +(source or destination) and UDP/TCP ports (source and destination). For +example, you can supply only a source IP address, a source IP address and a +destination port, or any combination of one or more of these four parameters. + +NOTE: The Linux i40e driver allows you to filter traffic based on a +user-defined flexible two-byte pattern and offset by using the ethtool user-def +and mask fields. Only L3 and L4 flow types are supported for user-defined +flexible filters. For a given flow type, you must clear all Intel Ethernet Flow +Director filters before changing the input set (for that flow type). + +To enable or disable the Intel Ethernet Flow Director:: + + # ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off> + +When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programmed filters are flushed from +the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must be re-added when ntuple +is re-enabled. + +To add a filter that directs packet to queue 2, use -U or -N switch:: + + # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \ + 192.168.10.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 2 [loc 1] + +To set a filter using only the source and destination IP address:: + + # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \ + 192.168.10.2 action 2 [loc 1] + +To see the list of filters currently present:: + + # ethtool <-u|-n> ethX + +Application Targeted Routing (ATR) Perfect Filters +-------------------------------------------------- +ATR is enabled by default when the kernel is in multiple transmit queue mode. +An ATR Intel Ethernet Flow Director filter rule is added when a TCP-IP flow +starts and is deleted when the flow ends. When a TCP-IP Intel Ethernet Flow +Director rule is added from ethtool (Sideband filter), ATR is turned off by the +driver. To re-enable ATR, the sideband can be disabled with the ethtool -K +option. For example:: + + ethtool –K [adapter] ntuple [off|on] + +If sideband is re-enabled after ATR is re-enabled, ATR remains enabled until a +TCP-IP flow is added. When all TCP-IP sideband rules are deleted, ATR is +automatically re-enabled. + +Packets that match the ATR rules are counted in fdir_atr_match stats in +ethtool, which also can be used to verify whether ATR rules still exist. + +Sideband Perfect Filters +------------------------ +Sideband Perfect Filters are used to direct traffic that matches specified +characteristics. They are enabled through ethtool's ntuple interface. To add a +new filter use the following command:: + + ethtool -U <device> flow-type <type> src-ip <ip> dst-ip <ip> src-port <port> \ + dst-port <port> action <queue> + +Where: + <device> - the ethernet device to program + <type> - can be ip4, tcp4, udp4, or sctp4 + <ip> - the ip address to match on + <port> - the port number to match on + <queue> - the queue to direct traffic towards (-1 discards matching traffic) + +Use the following command to display all of the active filters:: + + ethtool -u <device> + +Use the following command to delete a filter:: + + ethtool -U <device> delete <N> + +Where <N> is the filter id displayed when printing all the active filters, and +may also have been specified using "loc <N>" when adding the filter. + +The following example matches TCP traffic sent from 192.168.0.1, port 5300, +directed to 192.168.0.5, port 80, and sends it to queue 7:: + + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 \ + src-port 5300 dst-port 80 action 7 + +For each flow-type, the programmed filters must all have the same matching +input set. For example, issuing the following two commands is acceptable:: + + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7 + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10 + +Issuing the next two commands, however, is not acceptable, since the first +specifies src-ip and the second specifies dst-ip:: + + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7 + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10 + +The second command will fail with an error. You may program multiple filters +with the same fields, using different values, but, on one device, you may not +program two tcp4 filters with different matching fields. + +Matching on a sub-portion of a field is not supported by the i40e driver, thus +partial mask fields are not supported. + +The driver also supports matching user-defined data within the packet payload. +This flexible data is specified using the "user-def" field of the ethtool +command in the following way: + ++----------------------------+--------------------------+ +| 31 28 24 20 16 | 15 12 8 4 0 | ++----------------------------+--------------------------+ +| offset into packet payload | 2 bytes of flexible data | ++----------------------------+--------------------------+ + +For example, + +:: + + ... user-def 0x4FFFF ... + +tells the filter to look 4 bytes into the payload and match that value against +0xFFFF. The offset is based on the beginning of the payload, and not the +beginning of the packet. Thus + +:: + + flow-type tcp4 ... user-def 0x8BEAF ... + +would match TCP/IPv4 packets which have the value 0xBEAF 8 bytes into the +TCP/IPv4 payload. + +Note that ICMP headers are parsed as 4 bytes of header and 4 bytes of payload. +Thus to match the first byte of the payload, you must actually add 4 bytes to +the offset. Also note that ip4 filters match both ICMP frames as well as raw +(unknown) ip4 frames, where the payload will be the L3 payload of the IP4 frame. + +The maximum offset is 64. The hardware will only read up to 64 bytes of data +from the payload. The offset must be even because the flexible data is 2 bytes +long and must be aligned to byte 0 of the packet payload. + +The user-defined flexible offset is also considered part of the input set and +cannot be programmed separately for multiple filters of the same type. However, +the flexible data is not part of the input set and multiple filters may use the +same offset but match against different data. + +To create filters that direct traffic to a specific Virtual Function, use the +"action" parameter. Specify the action as a 64 bit value, where the lower 32 +bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent which VF. +Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For example:: + + ... action 0x800000002 ... + +specifies to direct traffic to Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) into queue 2 of +that VF. + +Note that these filters will not break internal routing rules, and will not +route traffic that otherwise would not have been sent to the specified Virtual +Function. + +Setting the link-down-on-close Private Flag +------------------------------------------- +When the link-down-on-close private flag is set to "on", the port's link will +go down when the interface is brought down using the ifconfig ethX down command. + +Use ethtool to view and set link-down-on-close, as follows:: + + ethtool --show-priv-flags ethX + ethtool --set-priv-flags ethX link-down-on-close [on|off] + +Viewing Link Messages +--------------------- +Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is +restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on +your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:: + + dmesg -n 8 + +NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. + +Jumbo Frames +------------ +Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) +to a value larger than the default value of 1500. + +Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the +following where <x> is the interface number:: + + ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up + +Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows:: + + ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x> + ip link set up dev eth<x> + +This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made +permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:: + + /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x> // for RHEL + /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file> // for SLES + +NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9702. This value coincides +with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9728 bytes. + +NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive +each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when +allocating receive packets. + +ethtool +------- +The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and +diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information.

If the adapter cannot establish link with the link partner +using auto-negotiation, you may need to manually configure the adapter and link +partner to identical settings to establish link and pass packets. This should +only be needed when attempting to link with an older switch that does not +support auto-negotiation or one that has been forced to a specific speed or +duplex mode. Your link partner must match the setting you choose. 1 Gbps speeds +and higher cannot be forced. Use the autonegotiation advertising setting to +manually set devices for 1 Gbps and higher. + +NOTE: You cannot set the speed for devices based on the Intel(R) Ethernet +Network Adapter XXV710 based devices. + +Speed, duplex, and autonegotiation advertising are configured through the +ethtool utility. + +Caution: Only experienced network administrators should force speed and duplex +or change autonegotiation advertising manually. The settings at the switch must +always match the adapter settings. Adapter performance may suffer or your +adapter may not operate if you configure the adapter differently from your +switch. + +An Intel(R) Ethernet Network Adapter using fiber-based connections, however, +will not attempt to auto-negotiate with its link partner since those adapters +operate only in full duplex and only at their native speed. + +NAPI +---- +NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the i40e driver. +For more information on NAPI, see +https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi + +Flow Control +------------ +Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable +receiving and transmitting pause frames for i40e. When transmit is enabled, +pause frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined +threshold. When receive is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time +delay specified when a pause frame is received. + +NOTE: You must have a flow control capable link partner. + +Flow Control is on by default. + +Use ethtool to change the flow control settings. + +To enable or disable Rx or Tx Flow Control:: + + ethtool -A eth? rx <on|off> tx <on|off> + +Note: This command only enables or disables Flow Control if auto-negotiation is +disabled. If auto-negotiation is enabled, this command changes the parameters +used for auto-negotiation with the link partner. + +To enable or disable auto-negotiation:: + + ethtool -s eth? autoneg <on|off> + +Note: Flow Control auto-negotiation is part of link auto-negotiation. Depending +on your device, you may not be able to change the auto-negotiation setting. + +RSS Hash Flow +------------- +Allows you to set the hash bytes per flow type and any combination of one or +more options for Receive Side Scaling (RSS) hash byte configuration. + +:: + + # ethtool -N <dev> rx-flow-hash <type> <option> + +Where <type> is: + tcp4 signifying TCP over IPv4 + udp4 signifying UDP over IPv4 + tcp6 signifying TCP over IPv6 + udp6 signifying UDP over IPv6 +And <option> is one or more of: + s Hash on the IP source address of the Rx packet. + d Hash on the IP destination address of the Rx packet. + f Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet. + n Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the Rx packet. + +MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature +---------------------------------- +When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the +hardware and not transmitted. +NOTE: This feature can be disabled for a specific Virtual Function (VF):: + + ip link set <pf dev> vf <vf id> spoofchk {off|on} + +IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Hardware Clock (PHC) +------------------------------------------------------------ +Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used to synchronize clocks in a computer +network. PTP support varies among Intel devices that support this driver. Use +"ethtool -T <netdev name>" to get a definitive list of PTP capabilities +supported by the device. + +IEEE 802.1ad (QinQ) Support +--------------------------- +The IEEE 802.1ad standard, informally known as QinQ, allows for multiple VLAN +IDs within a single Ethernet frame. VLAN IDs are sometimes referred to as +"tags," and multiple VLAN IDs are thus referred to as a "tag stack." Tag stacks +allow L2 tunneling and the ability to segregate traffic within a particular +VLAN ID, among other uses. + +The following are examples of how to configure 802.1ad (QinQ):: + + ip link add link eth0 eth0.24 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 24 + ip link add link eth0.24 eth0.24.371 type vlan proto 802.1Q id 371 + +Where "24" and "371" are example VLAN IDs. + +NOTES: + Receive checksum offloads, cloud filters, and VLAN acceleration are not + supported for 802.1ad (QinQ) packets. + +VXLAN and GENEVE Overlay HW Offloading +-------------------------------------- +Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) allows you to extend an L2 network over an L3 +network, which may be useful in a virtualized or cloud environment. Some +Intel(R) Ethernet Network devices perform VXLAN processing, offloading it from +the operating system. This reduces CPU utilization. + +VXLAN offloading is controlled by the Tx and Rx checksum offload options +provided by ethtool. That is, if Tx checksum offload is enabled, and the +adapter has the capability, VXLAN offloading is also enabled. + +Support for VXLAN and GENEVE HW offloading is dependent on kernel support of +the HW offloading features. + +Multiple Functions per Port +--------------------------- +Some adapters based on the Intel Ethernet Controller X710/XL710 support +multiple functions on a single physical port. Configure these functions through +the System Setup/BIOS. + +Minimum TX Bandwidth is the guaranteed minimum data transmission bandwidth, as +a percentage of the full physical port link speed, that the partition will +receive. The bandwidth the partition is awarded will never fall below the level +you specify. + +The range for the minimum bandwidth values is: +1 to ((100 minus # of partitions on the physical port) plus 1) +For example, if a physical port has 4 partitions, the range would be: +1 to ((100 - 4) + 1 = 97) + +The Maximum Bandwidth percentage represents the maximum transmit bandwidth +allocated to the partition as a percentage of the full physical port link +speed. The accepted range of values is 1-100. The value is used as a limiter, +should you chose that any one particular function not be able to consume 100% +of a port's bandwidth (should it be available). The sum of all the values for +Maximum Bandwidth is not restricted, because no more than 100% of a port's +bandwidth can ever be used. + +NOTE: X710/XXV710 devices fail to enable Max VFs (64) when Multiple Functions +per Port (MFP) and SR-IOV are enabled. An error from i40e is logged that says +"add vsi failed for VF N, aq_err 16". To workaround the issue, enable less than +64 virtual functions (VFs). + +Data Center Bridging (DCB) +-------------------------- +DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware. It uses +the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means that there are 8 +different priorities that traffic can be filtered into. It also enables +priority flow control (802.1Qbb) which can limit or eliminate the number of +dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be allocated to each of +these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware level (802.1Qaz). + +Adapter firmware implements LLDP and DCBX protocol agents as per 802.1AB and +802.1Qaz respectively. The firmware based DCBX agent runs in willing mode only +and can accept settings from a DCBX capable peer. Software configuration of +DCBX parameters via dcbtool/lldptool are not supported. + +NOTE: Firmware LLDP can be disabled by setting the private flag disable-fw-lldp. + +The i40e driver implements the DCB netlink interface layer to allow user-space +to communicate with the driver and query DCB configuration for the port. + +NOTE: +The kernel assumes that TC0 is available, and will disable Priority Flow +Control (PFC) on the device if TC0 is not available. To fix this, ensure TC0 is +enabled when setting up DCB on your switch. + +Interrupt Rate Limiting +----------------------- +:Valid Range: 0-235 (0=no limit) + +The Intel(R) Ethernet Controller XL710 family supports an interrupt rate +limiting mechanism. The user can control, via ethtool, the number of +microseconds between interrupts. + +Syntax:: + + # ethtool -C ethX rx-usecs-high N + +The range of 0-235 microseconds provides an effective range of 4,310 to 250,000 +interrupts per second. The value of rx-usecs-high can be set independently of +rx-usecs and tx-usecs in the same ethtool command, and is also independent of +the adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm. The underlying hardware supports +granularity in 4-microsecond intervals, so adjacent values may result in the +same interrupt rate. + +One possible use case is the following:: + + # ethtool -C ethX adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off rx-usecs-high 20 rx-usecs \ + 5 tx-usecs 5 + +The above command would disable adaptive interrupt moderation, and allow a +maximum of 5 microseconds before indicating a receive or transmit was complete. +However, instead of resulting in as many as 200,000 interrupts per second, it +limits total interrupts per second to 50,000 via the rx-usecs-high parameter. + +Performance Optimization +======================== +Driver defaults are meant to fit a wide variety of workloads, but if further +optimization is required we recommend experimenting with the following settings. + +NOTE: For better performance when processing small (64B) frame sizes, try +enabling Hyper threading in the BIOS in order to increase the number of logical +cores in the system and subsequently increase the number of queues available to +the adapter. + +Virtualized Environments +------------------------ +1. Disable XPS on both ends by using the included virt_perf_default script +or by running the following command as root:: + + for file in `ls /sys/class/net/<ethX>/queues/tx-*/xps_cpus`; + do echo 0 > $file; done + +2. Using the appropriate mechanism (vcpupin) in the vm, pin the cpu's to +individual lcpu's, making sure to use a set of cpu's included in the +device's local_cpulist: /sys/class/net/<ethX>/device/local_cpulist. + +3. Configure as many Rx/Tx queues in the VM as available. Do not rely on +the default setting of 1. + + +Non-virtualized Environments +---------------------------- +Pin the adapter's IRQs to specific cores by disabling the irqbalance service +and using the included set_irq_affinity script.

The +Physical Function (PF) processes requests issued from the VF to enable or +disable VLAN tag stripping. Note that if the PF has assigned a VLAN to a VF, +then requests from that VF to set VLAN tag stripping will be ignored. + +To enable/disable VLAN tag stripping for a VF, issue the following command +from inside the VM in which you are running the VF:: + + # ethtool -K <if_name> rxvlan on/off + +or alternatively:: + + # ethtool --offload <if_name> rxvlan on/off + +Adaptive Virtual Function +------------------------- +Adaptive Virtual Function (AVF) allows the virtual function driver, or VF, to +adapt to changing feature sets of the physical function driver (PF) with which +it is associated. This allows system administrators to update a PF without +having to update all the VFs associated with it. All AVFs have a single common +device ID and branding string. + +AVFs have a minimum set of features known as "base mode," but may provide +additional features depending on what features are available in the PF with +which the AVF is associated.

VLAN IDs are sometimes referred to as +"tags," and multiple VLAN IDs are thus referred to as a "tag stack." Tag stacks +allow L2 tunneling and the ability to segregate traffic within a particular +VLAN ID, among other uses. + +The following are examples of how to configure 802.1ad (QinQ):: + + # ip link add link eth0 eth0.24 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 24 + # ip link add link eth0.24 eth0.24.371 type vlan proto 802.1Q id 371 + +Where "24" and "371" are example VLAN IDs. + +NOTES: + Receive checksum offloads, cloud filters, and VLAN acceleration are not + supported for 802.1ad (QinQ) packets. + +Application Device Queues (ADq) +------------------------------- +Application Device Queues (ADq) allows you to dedicate one or more queues to a +specific application.

The hardware + switch mirrors the packet to a VSI list when multiple filters are matched. + + +Known Issues/Troubleshooting +============================ + +Bonding fails with VFs bound to an Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 700 series device +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +If you bind Virtual Functions (VFs) to an Intel(R) Ethernet Controller 700 +series based device, the VF slaves may fail when they become the active slave. +If the MAC address of the VF is set by the PF (Physical Function) of the +device, when you add a slave, or change the active-backup slave, Linux bonding +tries to sync the backup slave's MAC address to the same MAC address as the +active slave. Linux bonding will fail at this point. This issue will not occur +if the VF's MAC address is not set by the PF. + +Traffic Is Not Being Passed Between VM and Client +------------------------------------------------- +You may not be able to pass traffic between a client system and a +Virtual Machine (VM) running on a separate host if the Virtual Function +(VF, or Virtual NIC) is not in trusted mode and spoof checking is enabled +on the VF. Note that this situation can occur in any combination of client, +host, and guest operating system. For information on how to set the VF to +trusted mode, refer to the section "VLAN Tag Packet Steering" in this +readme document. For information on setting spoof checking, refer to the +section "MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature" in this readme document. + +Do not unload port driver if VF with active VM is bound to it +------------------------------------------------------------- +Do not unload a port's driver if a Virtual Function (VF) with an active Virtual +Machine (VM) is bound to it. Doing so will cause the port to appear to hang. +Once the VM shuts down, or otherwise releases the VF, the command will complete. + +Using four traffic classes fails +-------------------------------- +Do not try to reserve more than three traffic classes in the iavf driver. Doing +so will fail to set any traffic classes and will cause the driver to write +errors to stdout. Use a maximum of three queues to avoid this issue. + +Multiple log error messages on iavf driver removal +-------------------------------------------------- +If you have several VFs and you remove the iavf driver, several instances of +the following log errors are written to the log:: + + Unable to send opcode 2 to PF, err I40E_ERR_QUEUE_EMPTY, aq_err ok + Unable to send the message to VF 2 aq_err 12 + ARQ Overflow Error detected + +Virtual machine does not get link +--------------------------------- +If the virtual machine has more than one virtual port assigned to it, and those +virtual ports are bound to different physical ports, you may not get link on +all of the virtual ports. The following command may work around the issue:: + + # ethtool -r <PF> + +Where <PF> is the PF interface in the host, for example: p5p1. You may need to +run the command more than once to get link on all virtual ports. + +MAC address of Virtual Function changes unexpectedly +---------------------------------------------------- +If a Virtual Function's MAC address is not assigned in the host, then the VF +(virtual function) driver will use a random MAC address. This random MAC +address may change each time the VF driver is reloaded. You can assign a static +MAC address in the host machine. This static MAC address will survive +a VF driver reload. + +Driver Buffer Overflow Fix +-------------------------- +The fix to resolve CVE-2016-8105, referenced in Intel SA-00069 +https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00069.html +is included in this and future versions of the driver. + +Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network +------------------------------------------------------ +Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have one system +on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain (non-partitioned +switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces will respond to IP traffic +for any IP address assigned to the system. This results in unbalanced receive +traffic. + +If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP filtering by +entering:: + + # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter + +NOTE: + This setting is not saved across reboots. The configuration change can be + made permanent by adding the following line to the file /etc/sysctl.conf:: + + net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1 + +Another alternative is to install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains +(either in different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs). + +Rx Page Allocation Errors +------------------------- +'Page allocation failure. order:0' errors may occur under stress. +This is caused by the way the Linux kernel reports this stressed condition. + + +Support +======= +For general information, go to the Intel support website at: + +https://support.intel.com + +or the Intel Wired Networking project hosted by Sourceforge at: + +https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000 + +If an issue is identified with the released source code on the supported kernel +with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue +to e1000-devel@lists.sf.net diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ice.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ice.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..ee43ea57d443 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ice.rst @@ -0,0 +1,46 @@ +..

The values will be applied to each instance, in function order. +For example:: + + modprobe igb max_vfs=2,4 + +In this case, there are two network ports supported by igb in the system. + +NOTE: A descriptor describes a data buffer and attributes related to the data +buffer. This information is accessed by the hardware. + +max_vfs +------- +:Valid Range: 0-7 + +This parameter adds support for SR-IOV. It causes the driver to spawn up to +max_vfs worth of virtual functions. If the value is greater than 0 it will +also force the VMDq parameter to be 1 or more. + +The parameters for the driver are referenced by position. Thus, if you have a +dual port adapter, or more than one adapter in your system, and want N virtual +functions per port, you must specify a number for each port with each parameter +separated by a comma. For example:: + + modprobe igb max_vfs=4 + +This will spawn 4 VFs on the first port. + +:: + + modprobe igb max_vfs=2,4 + +This will spawn 2 VFs on the first port and 4 VFs on the second port. + +NOTE: Caution must be used in loading the driver with these parameters. +Depending on your system configuration, number of slots, etc., it is impossible +to predict in all cases where the positions would be on the command line. + +NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config +space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that +support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping. + +NOTE: When either SR-IOV mode or VMDq mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering +and VLAN tag stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old +VLAN filter before the new VLAN filter is added. For example:: + + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100 // set vlan 100 for VF 0 + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0 // Delete vlan 100 + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200 // set a new vlan 200 for VF 0 + +Debug +----- +:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all) +:Default Value: 0 + +This parameter adjusts the level debug messages displayed in the system logs. + + +Additional Features and Configurations +====================================== + +Jumbo Frames +------------ +Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) +to a value larger than the default value of 1500. + +Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the +following where <x> is the interface number:: + + ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up + +Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows:: + + ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x> + ip link set up dev eth<x> + +This setting is not saved across reboots.

For +this driver version, in order to enable WoL, the igb driver must be loaded +prior to shutting down or suspending the system. + +NOTE: Wake on LAN is only supported on port A of multi-port devices. Also +Wake On LAN is not supported for the following device: +- Intel(R) Gigabit VT Quad Port Server Adapter + + +Multiqueue +---------- +In this mode, a separate MSI-X vector is allocated for each queue and one for +"other" interrupts such as link status change and errors. All interrupts are +throttled via interrupt moderation. Interrupt moderation must be used to avoid +interrupt storms while the driver is processing one interrupt. The moderation +value should be at least as large as the expected time for the driver to +process an interrupt. Multiqueue is off by default. + +REQUIREMENTS: MSI-X support is required for Multiqueue. If MSI-X is not found, +the system will fallback to MSI or to Legacy interrupts. This driver supports +receive multiqueue on all kernels that support MSI-X. + +NOTE: On some kernels a reboot is required to switch between single queue mode +and multiqueue mode or vice-versa. + + +MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature +---------------------------------- +When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the +hardware and not transmitted. + +An interrupt is sent to the PF driver notifying it of the spoof attempt. When a +spoofed packet is detected, the PF driver will send the following message to +the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command): +Spoof event(s) detected on VF(n), where n = the VF that attempted to do the +spoofing + + +Setting MAC Address, VLAN and Rate Limit Using IProute2 Tool +------------------------------------------------------------ +You can set a MAC address of a Virtual Function (VF), a default VLAN and the +rate limit using the IProute2 tool.

It can only represent idle slopes +in 16.38431 kbps units, which means that if a idle slope of 2576kbps is +requested, the controller will be configured to use a idle slope of ~2589 kbps, +because the driver rounds the value up.

There is a set +of configuration changes that, when applied together, will increase the ability +of Linux to transmit and receive data. The following enhancements were +originally acquired from settings published at https://www.spec.org/web99/ for +various submitted results using Linux. + +NOTE: + These changes are only suggestions, and serve as a starting point for + tuning your network performance. + +The changes are made in three major ways, listed in order of greatest effect: + +- Use ip link to modify the mtu (maximum transmission unit) and the txqueuelen + parameter. +- Use sysctl to modify /proc parameters (essentially kernel tuning) +- Use setpci to modify the MMRBC field in PCI-X configuration space to increase + transmit burst lengths on the bus. + +NOTE: + setpci modifies the adapter's configuration registers to allow it to read + up to 4k bytes at a time (for transmits). However, for some systems the + behavior after modifying this register may be undefined (possibly errors of + some kind). A power-cycle, hard reset or explicitly setting the e6 register + back to 22 (setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=22) may be required to get back to a + stable configuration. + +- COPY these lines and paste them into ixgb_perf.sh: + +:: + + #!/bin/bash + echo "configuring network performance , edit this file to change the interface + or device ID of 10GbE card" + # set mmrbc to 4k reads, modify only Intel 10GbE device IDs + # replace 1a48 with appropriate 10GbE device's ID installed on the system, + # if needed. + setpci -d 8086:1a48 e6.b=2e + # set the MTU (max transmission unit) - it requires your switch and clients + # to change as well. + # set the txqueuelen + # your ixgb adapter should be loaded as eth1 for this to work, change if needed + ip li set dev eth1 mtu 9000 txqueuelen 1000 up + # call the sysctl utility to modify /proc/sys entries + sysctl -p ./sysctl_ixgb.conf + +- COPY these lines and paste them into sysctl_ixgb.conf: + +:: + + # some of the defaults may be different for your kernel + # call this file with sysctl -p <this file> + # these are just suggested values that worked well to increase throughput in + # several network benchmark tests, your mileage may vary + + ### IPV4 specific settings + # turn TCP timestamp support off, default 1, reduces CPU use + net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0 + # turn SACK support off, default on + # on systems with a VERY fast bus -> memory interface this is the big gainer + net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 0 + # set min/default/max TCP read buffer, default 4096 87380 174760 + net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000 + # set min/pressure/max TCP write buffer, default 4096 16384 131072 + net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 10000000 10000000 10000000 + # set min/pressure/max TCP buffer space, default 31744 32256 32768 + net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 10000000 10000000 10000000 + + ### CORE settings (mostly for socket and UDP effect) + # set maximum receive socket buffer size, default 131071 + net.core.rmem_max = 524287 + # set maximum send socket buffer size, default 131071 + net.core.wmem_max = 524287 + # set default receive socket buffer size, default 65535 + net.core.rmem_default = 524287 + # set default send socket buffer size, default 65535 + net.core.wmem_default = 524287 + # set maximum amount of option memory buffers, default 10240 + net.core.optmem_max = 524287 + # set number of unprocessed input packets before kernel starts dropping them; default 300 + net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 300000 + +Edit the ixgb_perf.sh script if necessary to change eth1 to whatever interface +your ixgb driver is using and/or replace '1a48' with appropriate 10GbE device's +ID installed on the system. + +NOTE: + Unless these scripts are added to the boot process, these changes will + only last only until the next system reboot. + + +Resolving Slow UDP Traffic +-------------------------- +If your server does not seem to be able to receive UDP traffic as fast as it +can receive TCP traffic, it could be because Linux, by default, does not set +the network stack buffers as large as they need to be to support high UDP +transfer rates. One way to alleviate this problem is to allow more memory to +be used by the IP stack to store incoming data. + +For instance, use the commands:: + + sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=262143 + +and:: + + sysctl -w net.core.rmem_default=262143 + +to increase the read buffer memory max and default to 262143 (256k - 1) from +defaults of max=131071 (128k - 1) and default=65535 (64k - 1). These variables +will increase the amount of memory used by the network stack for receives, and +can be increased significantly more if necessary for your application. + + +Additional Configurations +========================= + +Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions +------------------------------------------------- +Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started is +distribution dependent. Typically, the configuration process involves adding +an alias line to /etc/modprobe.conf as well as editing other system startup +scripts and/or configuration files. Many popular Linux distributions ship +with tools to make these changes for you. To learn the proper way to +configure a network device for your system, refer to your distribution +documentation. If during this process you are asked for the driver or module +name, the name for the Linux Base Driver for the Intel 10GbE Family of +Adapters is ixgb. + +Viewing Link Messages +--------------------- +Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is +restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on +your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:: + + dmesg -n 8 + +NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots. + +Jumbo Frames +------------ +The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is +enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500. +The maximum value for the MTU is 16114. Use the ip command to +increase the MTU size. For example:: + + ip li set dev ethx mtu 9000 + +The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 16114. This value coincides +with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 16128. + +Ethtool +------- +The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and +diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The ethtool +version 1.6 or later is required for this functionality. + +The latest release of ethtool can be found from +https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/ + +NOTE: + The ethtool version 1.6 only supports a limited set of ethtool options. + Support for a more complete ethtool feature set can be enabled by + upgrading to the latest version. + +NAPI +---- +NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgb driver. + +See https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/networking/napi for more information on +NAPI. + + +Known Issues/Troubleshooting +============================ + +NOTE: + After installing the driver, if your Intel Network Connection is not + working, verify in the "In This Release" section of the readme that you have + installed the correct driver. + +Cable Interoperability Issue with Fujitsu XENPAK Module in SmartBits Chassis +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 +Server adapter is connected to a Fujitsu XENPAK CX4 module in a SmartBits +chassis using 15 m/24AWG cable assemblies manufactured by Fujitsu or Leoni. +The CRC errors may be received either by the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 +Server adapter or the SmartBits. If this situation occurs using a different +cable assembly may resolve the issue. + +Cable Interoperability Issues with HP Procurve 3400cl Switch Port +----------------------------------------------------------------- +Excessive CRC errors may be observed if the Intel(R) PRO/10GbE CX4 Server +adapter is connected to an HP Procurve 3400cl switch port using short cables +(1 m or shorter). If this situation occurs, using a longer cable may resolve +the issue. + +Excessive CRC errors may be observed using Fujitsu 24AWG cable assemblies that +Are 10 m or longer or where using a Leoni 15 m/24AWG cable assembly. The CRC +errors may be received either by the CX4 Server adapter or at the switch. If +this situation occurs, using a different cable assembly may resolve the issue. + +Jumbo Frames System Requirement +------------------------------- +Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB +of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames. If you are using Jumbo +Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum +requirement of 64 MB of system memory. + +Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames +----------------------------------------- +Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames +environments. If this is observed, increasing the application's socket buffer +size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values may help. +See the specific application manual and /usr/src/linux*/Documentation/ +networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details. + +Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames +--------------------------------------------- +Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if +the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X +adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated +by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by +increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes. + +Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network +------------------------------------------------------ +Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have +one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain +(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected. All Ethernet interfaces +will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system. +This results in unbalanced receive traffic. + +If you have multiple interfaces in a server, do either of the following: + + - Turn on ARP filtering by entering:: + + echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter + + - Install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains - either in + different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs. + +UDP Stress Test Dropped Packet Issue +-------------------------------------- +Under small packets UDP stress test with 10GbE driver, the Linux system +may drop UDP packets due to the fullness of socket buffers. You may want +to change the driver's Flow Control variables to the minimum value for +controlling packet reception. + +Tx Hangs Possible Under Stress +------------------------------ +Under stress conditions, if TX hangs occur, turning off TSO +"ethtool -K eth0 tso off" may resolve the problem. + + +Support +======= +For general information, go to the Intel support website at: + +https://www.intel.com/support/ + +or the Intel Wired Networking project hosted by Sourceforge at: + +https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000 + +If an issue is identified with the released source code on a supported kernel +with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue +to e1000-devel@lists.sf.net diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ixgbe.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ixgbe.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..f1d5233e5e51 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ixgbe.rst @@ -0,0 +1,541 @@ +..

For example:: + + modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=4 + +This will spawn 4 VFs on the first port. + +:: + + modprobe ixgbe max_vfs=2,4 + +This will spawn 2 VFs on the first port and 4 VFs on the second port. + +NOTE: Caution must be used in loading the driver with these parameters. +Depending on your system configuration, number of slots, etc., it is impossible +to predict in all cases where the positions would be on the command line. + +NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config +space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that +support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping. + +NOTE: When either SR-IOV mode or VMDq mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering +and VLAN tag stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old +VLAN filter before the new VLAN filter is added. For example, + +:: + + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100 // set VLAN 100 for VF 0 + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0 // Delete VLAN 100 + ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200 // set a new VLAN 200 for VF 0 + +With kernel 3.6, the driver supports the simultaneous usage of max_vfs and DCB +features, subject to the constraints described below. Prior to kernel 3.6, the +driver did not support the simultaneous operation of max_vfs greater than 0 and +the DCB features (multiple traffic classes utilizing Priority Flow Control and +Extended Transmission Selection). + +When DCB is enabled, network traffic is transmitted and received through +multiple traffic classes (packet buffers in the NIC). The traffic is associated +with a specific class based on priority, which has a value of 0 through 7 used +in the VLAN tag. When SR-IOV is not enabled, each traffic class is associated +with a set of receive/transmit descriptor queue pairs. The number of queue +pairs for a given traffic class depends on the hardware configuration. When +SR-IOV is enabled, the descriptor queue pairs are grouped into pools. The +Physical Function (PF) and each Virtual Function (VF) is allocated a pool of +receive/transmit descriptor queue pairs. When multiple traffic classes are +configured (for example, DCB is enabled), each pool contains a queue pair from +each traffic class. When a single traffic class is configured in the hardware, +the pools contain multiple queue pairs from the single traffic class. + +The number of VFs that can be allocated depends on the number of traffic +classes that can be enabled. The configurable number of traffic classes for +each enabled VF is as follows: +0 - 15 VFs = Up to 8 traffic classes, depending on device support +16 - 31 VFs = Up to 4 traffic classes +32 - 63 VFs = 1 traffic class + +When VFs are configured, the PF is allocated one pool as well. The PF supports +the DCB features with the constraint that each traffic class will only use a +single queue pair. When zero VFs are configured, the PF can support multiple +queue pairs per traffic class. + +allow_unsupported_sfp +--------------------- +:Valid Range: 0,1 +:Default Value: 0 (disabled) + +This parameter allows unsupported and untested SFP+ modules on 82599-based +adapters, as long as the type of module is known to the driver. + +debug +----- +:Valid Range: 0-16 (0=none,...,16=all) +:Default Value: 0 + +This parameter adjusts the level of debug messages displayed in the system +logs. + + +Additional Features and Configurations +====================================== + +Flow Control +------------ +Ethernet Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) can be configured with ethtool to enable +receiving and transmitting pause frames for ixgbe. When transmit is enabled, +pause frames are generated when the receive packet buffer crosses a predefined +threshold. When receive is enabled, the transmit unit will halt for the time +delay specified when a pause frame is received. + +NOTE: You must have a flow control capable link partner. + +Flow Control is enabled by default. + +Use ethtool to change the flow control settings. To enable or disable Rx or +Tx Flow Control:: + + ethtool -A eth? rx <on|off> tx <on|off> + +Note: This command only enables or disables Flow Control if auto-negotiation is +disabled. If auto-negotiation is enabled, this command changes the parameters +used for auto-negotiation with the link partner. + +To enable or disable auto-negotiation:: + + ethtool -s eth? autoneg <on|off> + +Note: Flow Control auto-negotiation is part of link auto-negotiation. Depending +on your device, you may not be able to change the auto-negotiation setting. + +NOTE: For 82598 backplane cards entering 1 gigabit mode, flow control default +behavior is changed to off. Flow control in 1 gigabit mode on these devices can +lead to transmit hangs. + +Intel(R) Ethernet Flow Director +------------------------------- +The Intel Ethernet Flow Director performs the following tasks: + +- Directs receive packets according to their flows to different queues. +- Enables tight control on routing a flow in the platform. +- Matches flows and CPU cores for flow affinity. +- Supports multiple parameters for flexible flow classification and load + balancing (in SFP mode only). + +NOTE: Intel Ethernet Flow Director masking works in the opposite manner from +subnet masking. In the following command:: + + #ethtool -N eth11 flow-type ip4 src-ip 172.4.1.2 m 255.0.0.0 dst-ip \ + 172.21.1.1 m 255.128.0.0 action 31 + +The src-ip value that is written to the filter will be 0.4.1.2, not 172.0.0.0 +as might be expected. Similarly, the dst-ip value written to the filter will be +0.21.1.1, not 172.0.0.0. + +To enable or disable the Intel Ethernet Flow Director:: + + # ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off> + +When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programmed filters are flushed from +the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must be re-added when ntuple +is re-enabled. + +To add a filter that directs packet to queue 2, use -U or -N switch:: + + # ethtool -N ethX flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.10.1 dst-ip \ + 192.168.10.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 2 [loc 1] + +To see the list of filters currently present:: + + # ethtool <-u|-n> ethX + +Sideband Perfect Filters +------------------------ +Sideband Perfect Filters are used to direct traffic that matches specified +characteristics. They are enabled through ethtool's ntuple interface. To add a +new filter use the following command:: + + ethtool -U <device> flow-type <type> src-ip <ip> dst-ip <ip> src-port <port> \ + dst-port <port> action <queue> + +Where: + <device> - the ethernet device to program + <type> - can be ip4, tcp4, udp4, or sctp4 + <ip> - the IP address to match on + <port> - the port number to match on + <queue> - the queue to direct traffic towards (-1 discards the matched traffic) + +Use the following command to delete a filter:: + + ethtool -U <device> delete <N> + +Where <N> is the filter id displayed when printing all the active filters, and +may also have been specified using "loc <N>" when adding the filter. + +The following example matches TCP traffic sent from 192.168.0.1, port 5300, +directed to 192.168.0.5, port 80, and sends it to queue 7:: + + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type tcp4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 \ + src-port 5300 dst-port 80 action 7 + +For each flow-type, the programmed filters must all have the same matching +input set. For example, issuing the following two commands is acceptable:: + + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7 + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10 + +Issuing the next two commands, however, is not acceptable, since the first +specifies src-ip and the second specifies dst-ip:: + + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 src-ip 192.168.0.1 src-port 5300 action 7 + ethtool -U enp130s0 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 192.168.0.5 src-port 55 action 10 + +The second command will fail with an error. You may program multiple filters +with the same fields, using different values, but, on one device, you may not +program two TCP4 filters with different matching fields. + +Matching on a sub-portion of a field is not supported by the ixgbe driver, thus +partial mask fields are not supported. + +To create filters that direct traffic to a specific Virtual Function, use the +"user-def" parameter. Specify the user-def as a 64 bit value, where the lower 32 +bits represents the queue number, while the next 8 bits represent which VF. +Note that 0 is the PF, so the VF identifier is offset by 1. For example:: + + ... user-def 0x800000002 ... + +specifies to direct traffic to Virtual Function 7 (8 minus 1) into queue 2 of +that VF. + +Note that these filters will not break internal routing rules, and will not +route traffic that otherwise would not have been sent to the specified Virtual +Function. + +Jumbo Frames +------------ +Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) +to a value larger than the default value of 1500. + +Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the +following where <x> is the interface number:: + + ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up + +Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows:: + + ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x> + ip link set up dev eth<x> + +This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made +permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:: + + /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x> // for RHEL + /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file> // for SLES + +NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 9710. This value coincides +with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 9728 bytes. + +NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive +each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when +allocating receive packets. + +NOTE: For 82599-based network connections, if you are enabling jumbo frames in +a virtual function (VF), jumbo frames must first be enabled in the physical +function (PF). The VF MTU setting cannot be larger than the PF MTU. + +Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO +-------------------------------- +The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has +shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU +utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an +evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce +other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that +are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI. + +Data Center Bridging (DCB) +-------------------------- +NOTE: +The kernel assumes that TC0 is available, and will disable Priority Flow +Control (PFC) on the device if TC0 is not available. To fix this, ensure TC0 is +enabled when setting up DCB on your switch. + +DCB is a configuration Quality of Service implementation in hardware. It uses +the VLAN priority tag (802.1p) to filter traffic. That means that there are 8 +different priorities that traffic can be filtered into. It also enables +priority flow control (802.1Qbb) which can limit or eliminate the number of +dropped packets during network stress. Bandwidth can be allocated to each of +these priorities, which is enforced at the hardware level (802.1Qaz). + +Adapter firmware implements LLDP and DCBX protocol agents as per 802.1AB and +802.1Qaz respectively. The firmware based DCBX agent runs in willing mode only +and can accept settings from a DCBX capable peer. Software configuration of +DCBX parameters via dcbtool/lldptool are not supported. + +The ixgbe driver implements the DCB netlink interface layer to allow user-space +to communicate with the driver and query DCB configuration for the port. + +ethtool +------- +The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and +diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest ethtool +version is required for this functionality. Download it at: +https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/ethtool/ + +FCoE +---- +The ixgbe driver supports Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Data Center +Bridging (DCB). This code has no default effect on the regular driver +operation. Configuring DCB and FCoE is outside the scope of this README. Refer +to http://www.open-fcoe.org/ for FCoE project information and contact +ixgbe-eedc@lists.sourceforge.net for DCB information. + +MAC and VLAN anti-spoofing feature +---------------------------------- +When a malicious driver attempts to send a spoofed packet, it is dropped by the +hardware and not transmitted. + +An interrupt is sent to the PF driver notifying it of the spoof attempt. When a +spoofed packet is detected, the PF driver will send the following message to +the system log (displayed by the "dmesg" command):: + + ixgbe ethX: ixgbe_spoof_check: n spoofed packets detected + +where "x" is the PF interface number; and "n" is number of spoofed packets. +NOTE: This feature can be disabled for a specific Virtual Function (VF):: + + ip link set <pf dev> vf <vf id> spoofchk {off|on} + +IPsec Offload +------------- +The ixgbe driver supports IPsec Hardware Offload. When creating Security +Associations with "ip xfrm ..." the 'offload' tag option can be used to +register the IPsec SA with the driver in order to get higher throughput in +the secure communications. + +The offload is also supported for ixgbe's VFs, but the VF must be set as +'trusted' and the support must be enabled with:: + + ethtool --set-priv-flags eth<x> vf-ipsec on + ip link set eth<x> vf <y> trust on + + +Known Issues/Troubleshooting +============================ + +Enabling SR-IOV in a 64-bit Microsoft Windows Server 2012/R2 guest OS +--------------------------------------------------------------------- +Linux KVM Hypervisor/VMM supports direct assignment of a PCIe device to a VM. +This includes traditional PCIe devices, as well as SR-IOV-capable devices based +on the Intel Ethernet Controller XL710. + + +Support +======= +For general information, go to the Intel support website at: + +https://www.intel.com/support/ + +or the Intel Wired Networking project hosted by Sourceforge at: + +https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000 + +If an issue is identified with the released source code on a supported kernel +with a supported adapter, email the specific information related to the issue +to e1000-devel@lists.sf.net. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..76bbde736f21 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/intel/ixgbevf.rst @@ -0,0 +1,67 @@ +..

Wrt networking there will be 3 flavours of drivers. + +Admin Function driver +--------------------- + +As mentioned above RVU PF0 is called the admin function (AF), this driver +supports resource provisioning and configuration of functional blocks. +Doesn't handle any I/O. It sets up few basic stuff but most of the +funcionality is achieved via configuration requests from PFs and VFs. + +PF/VFs communicates with AF via a shared memory region (mailbox). Upon +receiving requests AF does resource provisioning and other HW configuration. +AF is always attached to host kernel, but PFs and their VFs may be used by host +kernel itself, or attached to VMs or to userspace applications like +DPDK etc. So AF has to handle provisioning/configuration requests sent +by any device from any domain. + +AF driver also interacts with underlying firmware to + - Manage physical ethernet links ie CGX LMACs. + - Retrieve information like speed, duplex, autoneg etc + - Retrieve PHY EEPROM and stats. + - Configure FEC, PAM modes + - etc + +From pure networking side AF driver supports following functionality. + - Map a physical link to a RVU PF to which a netdev is registered. + - Attach NIX and NPA block LFs to RVU PF/VF which provide buffer pools, RQs, SQs + for regular networking functionality. + - Flow control (pause frames) enable/disable/config. + - HW PTP timestamping related config. + - NPC parser profile config, basically how to parse pkt and what info to extract. + - NPC extract profile config, what to extract from the pkt to match data in MCAM entries. + - Manage NPC MCAM entries, upon request can frame and install requested packet forwarding rules. + - Defines receive side scaling (RSS) algorithms. + - Defines segmentation offload algorithms (eg TSO) + - VLAN stripping, capture and insertion config. + - SSO and TIM blocks config which provide packet scheduling support. + - Debugfs support, to check current resource provising, current status of + NPA pools, NIX RQ, SQ and CQs, various stats etc which helps in debugging issues. + - And many more. + +Physical Function driver +------------------------ + +This RVU PF handles IO, is mapped to a physical ethernet link and this +driver registers a netdev. This supports SR-IOV. As said above this driver +communicates with AF with a mailbox. To retrieve information from physical +links this driver talks to AF and AF gets that info from firmware and responds +back ie cannot talk to firmware directly. + +Supports ethtool for configuring links, RSS, queue count, queue size, +flow control, ntuple filters, dump PHY EEPROM, config FEC etc. + +Virtual Function driver +----------------------- + +There are two types VFs, VFs that share the physical link with their parent +SR-IOV PF and the VFs which work in pairs using internal HW loopback channels (LBK). + +Type1: + - These VFs and their parent PF share a physical link and used for outside communication. + - VFs cannot communicate with AF directly, they send mbox message to PF and PF + forwards that to AF. AF after processing, responds back to PF and PF forwards + the reply to VF. + - From functionality point of view there is no difference between PF and VF as same type + HW resources are attached to both. But user would be able to configure few stuff only + from PF as PF is treated as owner/admin of the link. + +Type2: + - RVU PF0 ie admin function creates these VFs and maps them to loopback block's channels. + - A set of two VFs (VF0 & VF1, VF2 & VF3 .. so on) works as a pair ie pkts sent out of + VF0 will be received by VF1 and viceversa. + - These VFs can be used by applications or virtual machines to communicate between them + without sending traffic outside. There is no switch present in HW, hence the support + for loopback VFs. + - These communicate directly with AF (PF0) via mbox. + +Except for the IO channels or links used for packet reception and transmission there is +no other difference between these VF types. AF driver takes care of IO channel mapping, +hence same VF driver works for both types of devices. + +Basic packet flow +================= + +Ingress +------- + +1. CGX LMAC receives packet. +2. Forwards the packet to the NIX block. +3. Then submitted to NPC block for parsing and then MCAM lookup to get the destination RVU device. +4. NIX LF attached to the destination RVU device allocates a buffer from RQ mapped buffer pool of NPA block LF. +5. RQ may be selected by RSS or by configuring MCAM rule with a RQ number. +6. Packet is DMA'ed and driver is notified. + +Egress +------ + +1. Driver prepares a send descriptor and submits to SQ for transmission. +2. The SQ is already configured (by AF) to transmit on a specific link/channel. +3. The SQ descriptor ring is maintained in buffers allocated from SQ mapped pool of NPA block LF. +4. NIX block transmits the pkt on the designated channel. +5. NPC MCAM entries can be installed to divert pkt onto a different channel. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..e9b65035cd47 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5.rst @@ -0,0 +1,321 @@ +..

It reduces the per packet + processing overhead by coalescing multiple TCP segments when possible. The + feature is enabled by default on VMs running on Windows Server 2019 and + later. It may be changed by ethtool command:: + + ethtool -K eth0 lro on + ethtool -K eth0 lro off + +SR-IOV support +-------------- + Hyper-V supports SR-IOV as a hardware acceleration option. If SR-IOV + is enabled in both the vSwitch and the guest configuration, then the + Virtual Function (VF) device is passed to the guest as a PCI + device. In this case, both a synthetic (netvsc) and VF device are + visible in the guest OS and both NIC's have the same MAC address. + + The VF is enslaved by netvsc device. The netvsc driver will transparently + switch the data path to the VF when it is available and up. + Network state (addresses, firewall, etc) should be applied only to the + netvsc device; the slave device should not be accessed directly in + most cases. The exceptions are if some special queue discipline or + flow direction is desired, these should be applied directly to the + VF slave device. + +Receive Buffer +-------------- + Packets are received into a receive area which is created when device + is probed. The receive area is broken into MTU sized chunks and each may + contain one or more packets. The number of receive sections may be changed + via ethtool Rx ring parameters. + + There is a similar send buffer which is used to aggregate packets for sending. + The send area is broken into chunks of 6144 bytes, each of section may + contain one or more packets. The send buffer is an optimization, the driver + will use slower method to handle very large packets or if the send buffer + area is exhausted. + +XDP support +----------- + XDP (eXpress Data Path) is a feature that runs eBPF bytecode at the early + stage when packets arrive at a NIC card. The goal is to increase performance + for packet processing, reducing the overhead of SKB allocation and other + upper network layers. + + hv_netvsc supports XDP in native mode, and transparently sets the XDP + program on the associated VF NIC as well. + + Setting / unsetting XDP program on synthetic NIC (netvsc) propagates to + VF NIC automatically. Setting / unsetting XDP program on VF NIC directly + is not recommended, also not propagated to synthetic NIC, and may be + overwritten by setting of synthetic NIC. + + XDP program cannot run with LRO (RSC) enabled, so you need to disable LRO + before running XDP:: + + ethtool -K eth0 lro off + + XDP_REDIRECT action is not yet supported. diff --git a/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/neterion/s2io.rst b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/neterion/s2io.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..c5673ec4559b --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/networking/device_drivers/ethernet/neterion/s2io.rst @@ -0,0 +1,196 @@ +..

The firmware loading +policy configuration may be used to configure this feature appropriately. + +Devlink or ethtool can be used to update the application firmware on the device +flash by providing the appropriate `nic_AMDA*.nffw` file to the respective +command.

This is +true on chips and configurations where the checksum can be done in hardware. + +Once the controller has finished transmitting the packet, timer will be +scheduled to release the transmit resources. + +Receive Process +--------------- + +When one or more packets are received, an interrupt happens. The interrupts +are not queued, so the driver has to scan all the descriptors in the ring +during the receive process. + +This is based on NAPI, so the interrupt handler signals only if there is work +to be done, and it exits. Then the poll method will be scheduled at some +future point. + +The incoming packets are stored, by the DMA, in a list of pre-allocated socket +buffers in order to avoid the memcpy (zero-copy). + +Interrupt Mitigation +-------------------- + +The driver is able to mitigate the number of its DMA interrupts using NAPI for +the reception on chips older than the 3.50. New chips have an HW RX Watchdog +used for this mitigation. + +Mitigation parameters can be tuned by ethtool. + +WoL +--- + +Wake up on Lan feature through Magic and Unicast frames are supported for the +GMAC, GMAC4/5 and XGMAC core. + +DMA Descriptors +--------------- + +Driver handles both normal and alternate descriptors. The latter has been only +tested on DesignWare(R) Cores Ethernet MAC Universal version 3.41a and later. + +stmmac supports DMA descriptor to operate both in dual buffer (RING) and +linked-list(CHAINED) mode. In RING each descriptor points to two data buffer +pointers whereas in CHAINED mode they point to only one data buffer pointer. +RING mode is the default. + +In CHAINED mode each descriptor will have pointer to next descriptor in the +list, hence creating the explicit chaining in the descriptor itself, whereas +such explicit chaining is not possible in RING mode. + +Extended Descriptors +-------------------- + +The extended descriptors give us information about the Ethernet payload when +it is carrying PTP packets or TCP/UDP/ICMP over IP. These are not available on +GMAC Synopsys(R) chips older than the 3.50. At probe time the driver will +decide if these can be actually used. This support also is mandatory for PTPv2 +because the extra descriptors are used for saving the hardware timestamps and +Extended Status. + +Ethtool Support +--------------- + +Ethtool is supported. For example, driver statistics (including RMON), +internal errors can be taken using:: + + ethtool -S ethX + +Ethtool selftests are also supported. This allows to do some early sanity +checks to the HW using MAC and PHY loopback mechanisms:: + + ethtool -t ethX + +Jumbo and Segmentation Offloading +--------------------------------- + +Jumbo frames are supported and tested for the GMAC. The GSO has been also +added but it's performed in software. LRO is not supported. + +TSO Support +----------- + +TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) feature is supported by GMAC > 4.x and XGMAC +chip family. When a packet is sent through TCP protocol, the TCP stack ensures +that the SKB provided to the low level driver (stmmac in our case) matches +with the maximum frame len (IP header + TCP header + payload <= 1500 bytes +(for MTU set to 1500)). It means that if an application using TCP want to send +a packet which will have a length (after adding headers) > 1514 the packet +will be split in several TCP packets: The data payload is split and headers +(TCP/IP ..) are added. It is done by software. + +When TSO is enabled, the TCP stack doesn't care about the maximum frame length +and provide SKB packet to stmmac as it is. The GMAC IP will have to perform +the segmentation by it self to match with maximum frame length. + +This feature can be enabled in device tree through ``snps,tso`` entry. + +Energy Efficient Ethernet +------------------------- + +Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) enables IEEE 802.3 MAC sublayer along with a +family of Physical layer to operate in the Low Power Idle (LPI) mode. The EEE +mode supports the IEEE 802.3 MAC operation at 100Mbps, 1000Mbps and 1Gbps. + +The LPI mode allows power saving by switching off parts of the communication +device functionality when there is no data to be transmitted & received. +The system on both the side of the link can disable some functionalities and +save power during the period of low-link utilization. The MAC controls whether +the system should enter or exit the LPI mode and communicate this to PHY. + +As soon as the interface is opened, the driver verifies if the EEE can be +supported. This is done by looking at both the DMA HW capability register and +the PHY devices MCD registers. + +To enter in TX LPI mode the driver needs to have a software timer that enable +and disable the LPI mode when there is nothing to be transmitted. + +Precision Time Protocol (PTP) +----------------------------- + +The driver supports the IEEE 1588-2002, Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which +enables precise synchronization of clocks in measurement and control systems +implemented with technologies such as network communication. + +In addition to the basic timestamp features mentioned in IEEE 1588-2002 +Timestamps, new GMAC cores support the advanced timestamp features. +IEEE 1588-2008 can be enabled when configuring the Kernel. + +SGMII/RGMII Support +------------------- + +New GMAC devices provide own way to manage RGMII/SGMII. This information is +available at run-time by looking at the HW capability register. This means +that the stmmac can manage auto-negotiation and link status w/o using the +PHYLIB stuff. In fact, the HW provides a subset of extended registers to +restart the ANE, verify Full/Half duplex mode and Speed.

be created with ip or vconfig tool +- Any l2/socket prio (0 - 7) for classes can be used, but for + simplicity default values are used: 3 and 2 +- only 2 classes tested: A and B, but checked and can

Driver Options +================== + + 1.

You can append aui=1 to the end of the insmod line to cause + the adapter to use the AUI interface instead of the 10 Base T + interface. This is also what to do if you want to use the BNC + connector on a TLAN based device. (Setting this option on a + device that does not have an AUI/BNC connector will probably + cause it to not function correctly.) + + 3. You can set duplex=1 to force half duplex, and duplex=2 to + force full duplex. + + 4. You can set speed=10 to force 10Mbs operation, and speed=100 + to force 100Mbs operation. (I'm not sure what will happen + if a card which only supports 10Mbs is forced into 100Mbs + mode.) + + 5. You have to use speed=X duplex=Y together now. If you just + do "insmod tlan.o speed=100" the driver will do Auto-Neg. + To force a 10Mbps Half-Duplex link do "insmod tlan.o speed=10 + duplex=1". + + 6. If the driver is built into the kernel, you can use the 3rd + and 4th parameters to set aui and debug respectively. For + example:: + + ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0 + + This sets aui to 0x1 and debug to 0x7, assuming eth0 is a + supported TLAN device. + + The bits in the third byte are assigned as follows: + + ==== =============== + 0x01 aui + 0x02 use half duplex + 0x04 use full duplex + 0x08 use 10BaseT + 0x10 use 100BaseTx + ==== =============== + + You also need to set both speed and duplex settings when forcing + speeds with kernel-parameters. + ether=0,0,0x12,0,eth0 will force link to 100Mbps Half-Duplex. + + 7. If you have more than one tlan adapter in your system, you can + use the above options on a per adapter basis. To force a 100Mbit/HD + link with your eth1 adapter use:: + + insmod tlan speed=0,100 duplex=0,1 + + Now eth0 will use auto-neg and eth1 will be forced to 100Mbit/HD. + Note that the tlan driver supports a maximum of 8 adapters. + + +III.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +=========================== +The Spidernet Device Driver +=========================== + +Written by Linas Vepstas <linas@austin.ibm.com> + +Version of 7 June 2007 + +Abstract +======== +This document sketches the structure of portions of the spidernet +device driver in the Linux kernel tree. The spidernet is a gigabit +ethernet device built into the Toshiba southbridge commonly used +in the SONY Playstation 3 and the IBM QS20 Cell blade. + +The Structure of the RX Ring. +============================= +The receive (RX) ring is a circular linked list of RX descriptors, +together with three pointers into the ring that are used to manage its +contents. + +The elements of the ring are called "descriptors" or "descrs"; they +describe the received data. This includes a pointer to a buffer +containing the received data, the buffer size, and various status bits. + +There are three primary states that a descriptor can be in: "empty", +"full" and "not-in-use". An "empty" or "ready" descriptor is ready +to receive data from the hardware. A "full" descriptor has data in it, +and is waiting to be emptied and processed by the OS. A "not-in-use" +descriptor is neither empty or full; it is simply not ready. It may +not even have a data buffer in it, or is otherwise unusable. + +During normal operation, on device startup, the OS (specifically, the +spidernet device driver) allocates a set of RX descriptors and RX +buffers. These are all marked "empty", ready to receive data. This +ring is handed off to the hardware, which sequentially fills in the +buffers, and marks them "full". The OS follows up, taking the full +buffers, processing them, and re-marking them empty. + +This filling and emptying is managed by three pointers, the "head" +and "tail" pointers, managed by the OS, and a hardware current +descriptor pointer (GDACTDPA). The GDACTDPA points at the descr +currently being filled. When this descr is filled, the hardware +marks it full, and advances the GDACTDPA by one. Thus, when there is +flowing RX traffic, every descr behind it should be marked "full", +and everything in front of it should be "empty". If the hardware +discovers that the current descr is not empty, it will signal an +interrupt, and halt processing. + +The tail pointer tails or trails the hardware pointer. When the +hardware is ahead, the tail pointer will be pointing at a "full" +descr. The OS will process this descr, and then mark it "not-in-use", +and advance the tail pointer. Thus, when there is flowing RX traffic, +all of the descrs in front of the tail pointer should be "full", and +all of those behind it should be "not-in-use". When RX traffic is not +flowing, then the tail pointer can catch up to the hardware pointer. +The OS will then note that the current tail is "empty", and halt +processing. + +The head pointer (somewhat mis-named) follows after the tail pointer. +When traffic is flowing, then the head pointer will be pointing at +a "not-in-use" descr. The OS will perform various housekeeping duties +on this descr. This includes allocating a new data buffer and +dma-mapping it so as to make it visible to the hardware. The OS will +then mark the descr as "empty", ready to receive data. Thus, when there +is flowing RX traffic, everything in front of the head pointer should +be "not-in-use", and everything behind it should be "empty". If no +RX traffic is flowing, then the head pointer can catch up to the tail +pointer, at which point the OS will notice that the head descr is +"empty", and it will halt processing. + +Thus, in an idle system, the GDACTDPA, tail and head pointers will +all be pointing at the same descr, which should be "empty". All of the +other descrs in the ring should be "empty" as well. + +The show_rx_chain() routine will print out the locations of the +GDACTDPA, tail and head pointers. It will also summarize the contents +of the ring, starting at the tail pointer, and listing the status +of the descrs that follow. + +A typical example of the output, for a nearly idle system, might be:: + + net eth1: Total number of descrs=256 + net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=20 + net eth1: Chain head is at 20 + net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 21 + net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800101 + net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 22 + net eth1: Last 255 descrs with stat=xa0800000 + +In the above, the hardware has filled in one descr, number 20. Both +head and tail are pointing at 20, because it has not yet been emptied. +Meanwhile, hw is pointing at 21, which is free. + +The "Have nnn decrs" refers to the descr starting at the tail: in this +case, nnn=1 descr, starting at descr 20. The "Last nnn descrs" refers +to all of the rest of the descrs, from the last status change. The "nnn" +is a count of how many descrs have exactly the same status. + +The status x4... corresponds to "full" and status xa... corresponds +to "empty". The actual value printed is RXCOMST_A. + +In the device driver source code, a different set of names are +used for these same concepts, so that:: + + "empty" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_CARDOWNED == 0xa + "full" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_FRAME_END == 0x4 + "not in use" == SPIDER_NET_DESCR_NOT_IN_USE == 0xf + + +The RX RAM full bug/feature +=========================== + +As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than +the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason, +the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA +pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition, +ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire. +The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM. +When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt +indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit +will be set in GHIINT1STS). When the RX ram full condition occurs, +a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled. +This section describes the special handling for this condition. + +When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring. +In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had +stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain +descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead +it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a +deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr, +which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for +this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr, +and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there +is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill, +while the hardware is waiting for a different set of descrs to become +empty. + +A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the +problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following:: + + net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded! + net eth1: Total number of descrs=256 + net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255 + net eth1: Chain head is at 255 + net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0 + net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000 + net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1 + net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101 + net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001 + net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101 + net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000 + +Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is +marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there +is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption +that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty, +as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to +become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen. + +The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full". +Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has +halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked +"full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is +descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked, +and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing +to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data. + +This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr() +routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination +of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that +the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy +network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will +search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume +operations there. Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there +is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes. + +As of this writing, the spider_net_resync() strategy seems to work very +well, even under heavy network loads. + + +The TX ring +=========== +The TX ring uses a low-watermark interrupt scheme to make sure that +the TX queue is appropriately serviced for large packet sizes. + +For packet sizes greater than about 1KBytes, the kernel can fill +the TX ring quicker than the device can drain it. Once the ring +is full, the netdev is stopped. When there is room in the ring, +the netdev needs to be reawakened, so that more TX packets are placed +in the ring. The hardware can empty the ring about four times per jiffy, +so its not appropriate to wait for the poll routine to refill, since +the poll routine runs only once per jiffy. The low-watermark mechanism +marks a descr about 1/4th of the way from the bottom of the queue, so +that an interrupt is generated when the descr is processed. This +interrupt wakes up the netdev, which can then refill the queue. +For large packets, this mechanism generates a relatively small number +of interrupts, about 1K/sec. For smaller packets, this will drop to zero +interrupts, as the hardware can empty the queue faster than the kernel +can fill it. |
