Since the built driver filenames have changed in DPDK 20.11, we need to
update the driver doc to match.
Most drivers start their section with the driver filename highlighted in
bold, while a number were missing the highlight. When updating the names,
add the markers for bold text to any missing it, so as to have things more
consistent.

|
|
|
|
Prerequisites and Compilation procedure
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`../platform/octeontx2` for setup information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Runtime Config Options
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
- ``Maximum number of in-flight events`` (default ``8192``)
|
|
|
|
In **Marvell OCTEON TX2** the max number of in-flight events are only limited
|
|
by DRAM size, the ``xae_cnt`` devargs parameter is introduced to provide
|
|
upper limit for in-flight events.
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,xae_cnt=16384
|
|
|
|
- ``Force legacy mode``
|
|
|
|
The ``single_ws`` devargs parameter is introduced to force legacy mode i.e
|
|
single workslot mode in SSO and disable the default dual workslot mode.
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,single_ws=1
|
|
|
|
- ``Event Group QoS support``
|
|
|
|
SSO GGRPs i.e. queue uses DRAM & SRAM buffers to hold in-flight
|
|
events. By default the buffers are assigned to the SSO GGRPs to
|
|
satisfy minimum HW requirements. SSO is free to assign the remaining
|
|
buffers to GGRPs based on a preconfigured threshold.
|
|
We can control the QoS of SSO GGRP by modifying the above mentioned
|
|
thresholds. GGRPs that have higher importance can be assigned higher
|
|
thresholds than the rest. The dictionary format is as follows
|
|
[Qx-XAQ-TAQ-IAQ][Qz-XAQ-TAQ-IAQ] expressed in percentages, 0 represents
|
|
default.
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,qos=[1-50-50-50]
|
|
|
|
- ``Selftest``
|
|
|
|
The functionality of OCTEON TX2 eventdev can be verified using this option,
|
|
various unit and functional tests are run to verify the sanity.
|
|
The tests are run once the vdev creation is successfully complete.
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,selftest=1
|
|
|
|
- ``TIM disable NPA``
|
|
|
|
By default chunks are allocated from NPA then TIM can automatically free
|
|
them when traversing the list of chunks. The ``tim_disable_npa`` devargs
|
|
parameter disables NPA and uses software mempool to manage chunks
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,tim_disable_npa=1
|
|
|
|
- ``TIM modify chunk slots``
|
|
|
|
The ``tim_chnk_slots`` devargs can be used to modify number of chunk slots.
|
|
Chunks are used to store event timers, a chunk can be visualised as an array
|
|
where the last element points to the next chunk and rest of them are used to
|
|
store events. TIM traverses the list of chunks and enqueues the event timers
|
|
to SSO. The default value is 255 and the max value is 4095.
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,tim_chnk_slots=1023
|
|
|
|
- ``TIM enable arm/cancel statistics``
|
|
|
|
The ``tim_stats_ena`` devargs can be used to enable arm and cancel stats of
|
|
event timer adapter.
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,tim_stats_ena=1
|
|
|
|
- ``TIM limit max rings reserved``
|
|
|
|
The ``tim_rings_lmt`` devargs can be used to limit the max number of TIM
|
|
rings i.e. event timer adapter reserved on probe. Since, TIM rings are HW
|
|
resources we can avoid starving other applications by not grabbing all the
|
|
rings.
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,tim_rings_lmt=5
|
|
|
|
- ``TIM ring control internal parameters``
|
|
|
|
When using multiple TIM rings the ``tim_ring_ctl`` devargs can be used to
|
|
control each TIM rings internal parameters uniquely. The following dict
|
|
format is expected [ring-chnk_slots-disable_npa-stats_ena]. 0 represents
|
|
default values.
|
|
For Example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,tim_ring_ctl=[2-1023-1-0]
|
|
|
|
- ``Lock NPA contexts in NDC``
|
|
|
|
Lock NPA aura and pool contexts in NDC cache.
|
|
The device args take hexadecimal bitmask where each bit represent the
|
|
corresponding aura/pool id.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
-w 0002:0e:00.0,npa_lock_mask=0xf
|
