When link goes down, disable the port's Rx path to drop the incoming traffic closer to the wire, instead of accepting them in for further Rx processing, only to eventually drop them at the port's RxQs. This prevents unnecessary congestion in the Rx path. The port's Rx path will be re-enabled once the link up event is received in the firmware event queue.

CXGBE Poll Mode Driver
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
The CXGBE PMD (**librte_net_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
|
|
<http://www.chelsio.com>`_.
|
|
|
|
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_net_cxgbe registers
|
|
itself as a PCI driver that allocates one Ethernet device per detected
|
|
port.
|
|
|
|
For this reason, one cannot allow/block a single port without
|
|
allowing/blocking the other ports on the same device.

|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- Requires firmware version **1.25.4.0** and higher. Visit
|
|
`Chelsio Download Center <http://service.chelsio.com>`_ 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
dpdk-testpmd -a 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.

|
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
|
|
|
|
dpdk-testpmd -a 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
|
|
|
|
dpdk-testpmd -a 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88,filtermask=0x80 -- -i

FreeBSD Installation
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Steps to manually install the latest firmware from the downloaded Chelsio
|
|
Unified Wire package for FreeBSD operating system are as follows:
|
|
|
|
#. 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: <Chelsio T520-CR> irq 16 at device 0.4 on pci2
|
|
cxl0: <port 0> on t5nex0
|
|
cxl1: <port 1> 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.
|
|
|
|
#. Install cxgbetool from FreeBSD source repository:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
cd <path_to_FreeBSD_source>/tools/tools/cxgbetool/
|
|
make && make install
|
|
|
|
#. Use cxgbetool to load the firmware image onto the card:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
cxgbetool t5nex0 loadfw <path_to_uwire>/src/network/firmware/t5fw-*.bin
|
|
|
|
#. Unload and reload the kernel module:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
kldunload if_cxgbe
|
|
kldload if_cxgbe
|
|
|
|
#. Verify with sysctl:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
sysctl -a | grep "t5nex" | grep "firmware"
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
dev.t5nex.0.firmware_version: 1.25.4.0
|
|
|
|
Running testpmd
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This section demonstrates how to launch **testpmd** with Chelsio
|
|
devices managed by librte_net_cxgbe in FreeBSD operating system.
|
|
|
|
#. Change to DPDK source directory where the target has been compiled in
|
|
section :ref:`driver-compilation`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
cd <DPDK-source-directory>
|
|
|
|
#. Copy the contigmem kernel module to /boot/kernel directory:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
cp <build_dir>/kernel/freebsd/contigmem.ko /boot/kernel/
|
|
|
|
#. Add the following lines to /boot/loader.conf:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# reserve 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory using contigmem driver
|
|
hw.contigmem.num_buffers=2
|
|
hw.contigmem.buffer_size=1073741824
|
|
# load contigmem module during boot process
|
|
contigmem_load="YES"
|
|
|
|
The above lines load the contigmem kernel module during boot process and
|
|
allocate 2 x 1G blocks of contiguous memory to be used for DPDK later on.
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
#. Repeat step 1 to ensure that you are in the DPDK source directory.
|
|
|
|
#. Load the cxgbe kernel module:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
kldload if_cxgbe
|
|
|
|
#. Get the PCI bus addresses of the interfaces bound to t5nex driver:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
pciconf -l | grep "t5nex"
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
t5nex0@pci0:2:0:4: class=0x020000 card=0x00001425 chip=0x54011425 rev=0x00
|
|
|
|
In the above example, the t5nex0 is bound to 2:0:4 bus address.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Both the interfaces of a Chelsio 2-port adapter are bound to the
|
|
same PCI bus address.
|
|
|
|
#. Unload the kernel module:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
kldunload if_cxgbe
|
|
|
|
#. Set the PCI bus addresses to hw.nic_uio.bdfs kernel environment parameter:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
kenv hw.nic_uio.bdfs="2:0:4"
|
|
|
|
This automatically binds 2:0:4 to nic_uio kernel driver when it is loaded in
|
|
the next step.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Currently, CXGBE PMD only supports the binding of PF4 for Chelsio NICs.
|
|
|
|
#. Load nic_uio kernel driver:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
kldload <build_dir>/kernel/freebsd/nic_uio.ko
|
|
|
|
#. Start testpmd with basic parameters:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
./<build_dir>/app/dpdk-testpmd -l 0-3 -n 4 -a 0000:02:00.4 -- -i
|
|
|
|

|
|

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
|
