CXGBE Poll Mode Driver ====================== The CXGBE PMD (**librte_pmd_cxgbe**) provides poll mode driver support for **Chelsio Terminator** 10/25/40/100 Gbps family of adapters. CXGBE PMD has support for the latest Linux and FreeBSD operating systems. CXGBEVF PMD provides poll mode driver support for SR-IOV Virtual functions and has support for the latest Linux operating systems. More information can be found at `Chelsio Communications Official Website `_. Features -------- CXGBE and CXGBEVF PMD has support for: - Multiple queues for TX and RX - Receiver Side Steering (RSS) Receiver Side Steering (RSS) on IPv4, IPv6, IPv4-TCP/UDP, IPv6-TCP/UDP. For 4-tuple, enabling 'RSS on TCP' and 'RSS on TCP + UDP' is supported. - VLAN filtering - Checksum offload - Promiscuous mode - All multicast mode - Port hardware statistics - Jumbo frames - Flow API - Support for both Wildcard (LE-TCAM) and Exact (HASH) match filters. Limitations ----------- The Chelsio Terminator series of devices provide two/four ports but expose a single PCI bus address, thus, librte_pmd_cxgbe registers itself as a PCI driver that allocates one Ethernet device per detected port. For this reason, one cannot whitelist/blacklist a single port without whitelisting/blacklisting the other ports on the same device. .. _t5-nics: Supported Chelsio T5 NICs ------------------------- - 1G NICs: T502-BT - 10G NICs: T520-BT, T520-CR, T520-LL-CR, T520-SO-CR, T540-CR - 40G NICs: T580-CR, T580-LP-CR, T580-SO-CR - Other T5 NICs: T522-CR .. _t6-nics: Supported Chelsio T6 NICs ------------------------- - 25G NICs: T6425-CR, T6225-CR, T6225-LL-CR, T6225-SO-CR - 100G NICs: T62100-CR, T62100-LP-CR, T62100-SO-CR Supported SR-IOV Chelsio NICs ----------------------------- SR-IOV virtual functions are supported on all the Chelsio NICs listed in :ref:`t5-nics` and :ref:`t6-nics`. Prerequisites ------------- - Requires firmware version **1.24.11.0** and higher. Visit `Chelsio Download Center `_ to get latest firmware bundled with the latest Chelsio Unified Wire package. For Linux, installing and loading the latest cxgb4 kernel driver from the Chelsio Unified Wire package should get you the latest firmware. More information can be obtained from the User Guide that is bundled with the Chelsio Unified Wire package. For FreeBSD, the latest firmware obtained from the Chelsio Unified Wire package must be manually flashed via cxgbetool available in FreeBSD source repository. Instructions on how to manually flash the firmware are given in section :ref:`linux-installation` for Linux and section :ref:`freebsd-installation` for FreeBSD. Pre-Installation Configuration ------------------------------ Config File Options ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following options can be modified in the ``.config`` file. Please note that enabling debugging options may affect system performance. - ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CXGBE_PMD`` (default **y**) Toggle compilation of librte_pmd_cxgbe driver. .. note:: This controls compilation of both CXGBE and CXGBEVF PMD. Runtime Options ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following ``devargs`` options can be enabled at runtime. They must be passed as part of EAL arguments. For example, .. code-block:: console testpmd -w 02:00.4,keep_ovlan=1 -- -i Common Runtime Options ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - ``keep_ovlan`` (default **0**) Toggle behavior to keep/strip outer VLAN in Q-in-Q packets. If enabled, the outer VLAN tag is preserved in Q-in-Q packets. Otherwise, the outer VLAN tag is stripped in Q-in-Q packets. - ``tx_mode_latency`` (default **0**) When set to 1, Tx doesn't wait for max number of packets to get coalesced and sends the packets immediately at the end of the current Tx burst. When set to 0, Tx waits across multiple Tx bursts until the max number of packets have been coalesced. In this case, Tx only sends the coalesced packets to hardware once the max coalesce limit has been reached. CXGBE VF Only Runtime Options ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - ``force_link_up`` (default **0**) When set to 1, CXGBEVF PMD always forces link as up for all VFs on underlying Chelsio NICs. This enables multiple VFs on the same NIC to send traffic to each other even when the physical link is down. CXGBE PF Only Runtime Options ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - ``filtermode`` (default **0**) Apart from the 4-tuple (IP src/dst addresses and TCP/UDP src/dst port addresses), there are only 40-bits available to match other fields in packet headers. So, ``filtermode`` devarg allows user to dynamically select a 40-bit supported match field combination for LETCAM (wildcard) filters. Default value of **0** makes driver pick the combination configured in the firmware configuration file on the adapter. The supported flags and their corresponding values are shown in table below. These flags can be OR'd to create 1 of the multiple supported combinations for LETCAM filters. ================== ====== FLAG VALUE ================== ====== Physical Port 0x1 PFVF 0x2 Destination MAC 0x4 Ethertype 0x8 Inner VLAN 0x10 Outer VLAN 0x20 IP TOS 0x40 IP Protocol 0x80 ================== ====== The supported ``filtermode`` combinations and their corresponding OR'd values are shown in

Port | 0x1 + +-----------------------------------+-----------+ For example, to enable matching ``ethertype`` field in Ethernet header, and ``protocol`` field in IPv4 header, the ``filtermode`` combination must be given as: .. code-block:: console testpmd -w 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88 -- -i - ``filtermask`` (default **0**) ``filtermask`` devarg works similar to ``filtermode``, but is used to configure a filter mode combination for HASH (exact-match) filters. .. note:: The combination chosen for ``filtermask`` devarg **must be a subset** of the combination chosen for ``filtermode`` devarg. Default value of **0** makes driver pick the combination configured in the firmware configuration file on the adapter. Note that the filter rule will only be inserted in HASH region, if the rule contains **all** the fields specified in the ``filtermask`` combination. Otherwise, the filter rule will get inserted in LETCAM region. The same combination list explained in the tables in ``filtermode`` devarg section earlier applies for ``filtermask`` devarg, as well. For example, to enable matching only protocol field in IPv4 header, the ``filtermask`` combination must be given as: .. code-block:: console testpmd -w 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88,filtermask=0x80 -- -i .. _driver-compilation: Driver compilation and testing ------------------------------ Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC ` for details.

Load the kernel module: .. code-block:: console kldload if_cxgbe #. Use dmesg to get the t5nex instance assigned to the Chelsio card: .. code-block:: console dmesg | grep "t5nex" Example output: .. code-block:: console t5nex0: irq 16 at device 0.4 on pci2 cxl0: on t5nex0 cxl1: on t5nex0 t5nex0: PCIe x8, 2 ports, 14 MSI-X interrupts, 31 eq, 13 iq In the example above, a Chelsio T520-CR card is bound to a t5nex0 instance. #.

This is to avoid issues with potential memory fragmentation during later system up time, which may result in failure of allocating the contiguous memory required for the contigmem kernel module. #. Restart the system and ensure the contigmem module is loaded successfully: .. code-block:: console reboot kldstat | grep "contigmem" Example output: .. code-block:: console 2 1 0xffffffff817f1000 3118 contigmem.ko #.

Sample Application Notes ------------------------ .. _flow-control: Enable/Disable Flow Control ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flow control pause TX/RX is disabled by default and can be enabled via testpmd as follows: .. code-block:: console testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx on tx on 0 0 0 0 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd off autoneg on 0 testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx on tx on 0 0 0 0 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd off autoneg on 1 To disable again, run: .. code-block:: console testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx off tx off 0 0 0 0 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd off autoneg off 0 testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx off tx off 0 0 0 0 mac_ctrl_frame_fwd off autoneg off 1 Jumbo Mode ~~~~~~~~~~ There are two ways to enable sending and receiving of jumbo frames via testpmd. One method involves using the **mtu** command, which changes the mtu of an individual port without having to stop the selected port. Another method involves stopping all the ports first and then running **max-pkt-len** command to configure the mtu of all the ports with a single command. - To configure each port individually, run the mtu command as follows: .. code-block:: console testpmd> port config mtu 0 9000 testpmd> port config mtu 1 9000 - To configure all the ports at once, stop all the ports first and run the max-pkt-len command as follows: .. code-block:: console testpmd> port stop all testpmd> port config all max-pkt-len 9000
