BNXT Poll Mode Driver
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
The BNXT PMD (**librte_pmd_bnxt**) implements support for adapters based on
|
|
Ethernet controllers and SoCs belonging to the **Broadcom BCM5730X NetXtreme-C®
|
|
Family of Ethernet Network Controllers**, the **Broadcom BCM574XX/BCM575XX
|
|
NetXtreme-E® Family of Ethernet Network Controllers**, the **Broadcom BCM588XX
|
|
Stingray Family of SmartNIC Adapters**, and the **Broadcom StrataGX® BCM5871X
|
|
Series of Communications Processors**. A complete list with links to reference
|
|
material is included below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BNXT PMD Features
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The BNXT PMD includes support for the following features:
|
|
|
|
* Multiple transmit and receive queues
|
|
* Queue start/stop
|
|
* RSS hash
|
|
* RSS key configuration
|
|
* RSS reta configuration
|
|
* VMDq
|
|
* Packet type parsing
|
|
* Configurable RX CRC stripping
|
|
* L3/L4 checksum offload
|
|
* LRO offload
|
|
* TSO offload
|
|
* VLAN offload
|
|
* SR-IOV VF
|
|
* Basic and extended port statistics
|
|
* Link state reporting
|
|
* Flow control
|
|
* Ethertype filtering
|
|
* N-tuple filtering
|
|
* Promiscuous mode
|
|
* Unicast and multicast MAC filtering
|
|
* Scatter/gather transmit and receive
|
|
* Jumbo frames
|
|
* Vector PMD
|
|
|
|
BNXT Vector PMD
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The BNXT PMD includes support for SSE vector mode on x86 platforms. Vector
|
|
provides significantly improved performance over the base implementation,
|
|
however it does not support all of the features that are supported by the
|
|
base (non-vector) implementation. Vector mode will be selected and enabled
|
|
automatically when the port is started if allowed by the current configuration.
|
|
|
|
RX Requirements for Vector Mode
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Vector mode receive will be enabled if the following constrainsts are met:
|
|
* Packets must fit within a single mbuf (no scatter RX).
|
|
* LRO offload must be disabled.
|
|
|
|
TX Requirements for Vector Mode
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Vector mode transmit will be enabled if the following constrainsts are met:
|
|
* Packets must be contained within a single mbuf (no gather TX).
|
|
* All transmit offloads other than VLAN insertion must be disabled.
|
