These filters reside in the card's memory instead of its TCAM and can be configured via a new "hashfilter" subcommand in cxgbetool. Hash and normal TCAM filters can be used together. The hardware does an exact-match of packet fields for hash filters, unlike the masked match performed for TCAM filters. Any T5/T6 card with memory can support at least half a million hash filters. The sample config file with the driver configures 512K of these, it is possible to double this to 1 million+ in some cases. The chip does an exact-match of fields of incoming datagrams with hash filters and performs the action configured for the filter if it matches. The fields to match are specified in a "filter mask" in the firmware config file. The filter mask always includes the 5-tuple (sip, dip, sport, dport, ipproto). It can, optionally, also include any subset of the filter mode (see filterMode and filterMask in the firmware config file). For example: filterMode = fragmentation, mpshittype, protocol, vlan, port, fcoe filterMask = protocol, port, vlan Exact values of the 5-tuple, the physical port, and VLAN tag would have to be provided while setting up a hash filter with the chip configuration above. Hash filters support all actions supported by TCAM filters. A packet that hits a hash filter can be dropped, let through (with optional steering to a specific queue or RSS region), switched out of another port (with optional L2 rewrite of DMAC, SMAC, VLAN tag), or get NAT'ed. (Support for some of these will show up in the driver in a follow-up commit very shortly). Sponsored by: Chelsio Communications

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information).
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
The buildkernel
and installkernel
targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.
Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
buildkernel
and installkernel
targets, you might need to build
world before. More information is available in the handbook.
The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
