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.

HNS3 Poll Mode Driver
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
The hns3 PMD (**librte_net_hns3**) provides poll mode driver support
|
|
for the inbuilt Hisilicon Network Subsystem(HNS) network engine
|
|
found in the Hisilicon Kunpeng 920 SoC.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Checksum offload
|
|
- TSO offload
|
|
- LRO offload
|
|
- Promiscuous mode
|
|
- Multicast mode
|
|
- Port hardware statistics
|
|
- Jumbo frames
|
|
- Link state information
|
|
- Interrupt mode for RX
|
|
- VLAN stripping and inserting
|
|
- QinQ inserting
|
|
- DCB
|
|
- Scattered and gather for TX and RX
|

|
Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
- Get the information about Kunpeng920 chip using
|
|
`<http://www.hisilicon.com/en/Products/ProductList/Kunpeng>`_.
|
|
|
|
- Follow the DPDK :ref:`Getting Started Guide for Linux <linux_gsg>` to setup the basic DPDK environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Driver compilation and testing
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
Limitations or Known issues
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
Currently, we only support VF device is bound to vfio_pci or
|
|
igb_uio and then driven by DPDK driver when PF is driven by
|
|
kernel mode hns3 ethdev driver, VF is not supported when PF
|
|
is driven by DPDK driver.
|
|
|
|
Build with ICC is not supported yet.
|
|
X86-32, Power8, ARMv7 and BSD are not supported yet.
