MRVL Poll Mode Driver ====================== The MRVL PMD (librte_pmd_mrvl) provides poll mode driver support for the Marvell PPv2 (Packet Processor v2) 1/10 Gbps adapter. Detailed information about SoCs that use PPv2 can be obtained here: * https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-70xx/ * https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/armada-80xx/ .. Note:: Due to external dependencies, this driver is disabled by default. It must be enabled manually by setting relevant configuration option manually. Please refer to `Config File Options`_ section for further details. Features -------- Features of the MRVL PMD are: - Speed capabilities - Link status - Queue start/stop - MTU update - Jumbo frame - Promiscuous mode - Allmulticast mode - Unicast MAC filter - Multicast MAC filter - RSS hash - VLAN filter - CRC offload - L3 checksum offload - L4 checksum offload - Packet type parsing - Basic stats - QoS Limitations ----------- - Number of lcores is limited to 9 by MUSDK internal design. If more lcores need to be allocated, locking will have to be considered. Number of available lcores can be changed via ``MRVL_MUSDK_HIFS_RESERVED`` define in ``mrvl_ethdev.c`` source file. - Flushing vlans added for filtering is not possible due to MUSDK missing functionality. Current workaround is to reset board so that PPv2 has a chance to start in a sane state. Prerequisites ------------- - Custom Linux Kernel sources available `here `__. - Out of tree `mvpp2x_sysfs` kernel module sources available `here `__. - MUSDK (Marvell User-Space SDK) sources available `here `__. MUSDK is a light-weight library that provides direct access to Marvell's PPv2 (Packet Processor v2). Alternatively prebuilt MUSDK library can be requested from `Marvell Extranet `_. Once approval has been granted, library can be found by typing ``musdk`` in the search box. MUSDK must be configured with the following features: .. code-block:: console --enable-bpool-dma=64 - DPDK environment Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux ` to setup DPDK environment. Config File Options ------------------- The following options can be modified in the ``config`` file. - ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MRVL_PMD`` (default ``n``) Toggle compilation of the librte_pmd_mrvl driver. - ``CONFIG_RTE_MRVL_MUSDK_DMA_MEMSIZE`` (default ``41943040``) Size in bytes of the contiguous memory region that MUSDK will allocate for run-time DMA-able data buffers. QoS Configuration ----------------- QoS configuration is done through external configuration file. Path to the file must be given as `cfg` in driver's vdev parameter list. Configuration syntax ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .. code-block:: console [port default] default_tc = qos_mode = [port tc ] rxq = pcp = dscp = [port tc ] rxq = pcp = dscp = Where: - ````: DPDK Port number (0..n). - ````: Default traffic class (e.g. 0) - ````: QoS priority for mapping (`ip`, `vlan`, `ip/vlan` or `vlan/ip`). - ````: Traffic Class to be configured. - ````: List of DPDK RX queues (e.g. 0 1 3-4) - ````: List of PCP values to handle in particular TC (e.g. 0 1 3-4 7). - ````: List of DSCP values to handle in particular TC (e.g. 0-12 32-48 63). Setting PCP/DSCP values for the default TC is not required. All PCP/DSCP values not assigned explicitly to particular TC will be handled by the default TC. Configuration file example ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console [port 0 default] default_tc = 0 qos_mode = ip [port 0 tc 0] rxq = 0 1 [port 0 tc 1] rxq = 2 pcp = 5 6 7 dscp = 26-38 [port 1 default] default_tc = 0 qos_mode = vlan/ip [port 1 tc 0] rxq = 0 [port 1 tc 1] rxq = 1 2 pcp = 5 6 7 dscp = 26-38 Usage example ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console ./testpmd --vdev=eth_mrvl,iface=eth0,iface=eth2,cfg=/home/user/mrvl.conf \ -c 7 -- -i -a --disable-hw-vlan-strip --rxq=2 Building DPDK ------------- Driver needs precompiled MUSDK library during compilation. Please consult ``doc/musdk_get_started.txt`` for the detailed build instructions. Before the DPDK build process the environmental variable ``LIBMUSDK_PATH`` with the path to the MUSDK installation directory needs to be exported. Usage Example ------------- MRVL PMD requires extra out of tree kernel modules to function properly. `musdk_uio` and `mv_pp_uio` sources are part of the MUSDK. Please consult ``doc/musdk_get_started.txt`` for the detailed build instructions. For `mvpp2x_sysfs` please consult ``Documentation/pp22_sysfs.txt`` for the detailed build instructions. .. code-block:: console insmod musdk_uio.ko insmod mv_pp_uio.ko insmod mvpp2x_sysfs.ko Additionally interfaces used by DPDK application need to be put up: .. code-block:: console ip link set eth0 up ip link set eth1 up In order to run testpmd example application following command can be used: .. code-block:: console ./testpmd --vdev=eth_mrvl,iface=eth0,iface=eth2 -c 7 -- \ --burst=128 --txd=2048 --rxd=1024 --rxq=2 --txq=2 --nb-cores=2 \ -i -a --disable-hw-vlan-strip --rss-udp
