ice.4: Update man page with feature documentation #1622
Conversation
Enable basic SR-IOV support for E800 adapters. Authored-by: Eric Joyner <erj@FreeBSD.org> Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka <krzysztof.galazka@intel.com>
Filter for unicast MAC address is configured with a virtual channel message, but filter for a broadcast traffic was missing. It caused issues with e.g. ARP. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka <krzysztof.galazka@intel.com>
VF driver may request to configure MSI-X vectors for less queues than assigned by PF. Don't try to configure unassigned vectors to avoid panic. While at that make the loop process whole array of vectors received in a VIRTCHNL_OP_CFG_IRQ_MAP message from a VF. It's not guarantied that vector '0', which is used for other interrupt causes and is not mapped to a queue, will be always on the last position. Condition inside the loop already handles that vector correctly. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka <krzysztof.galazka@intel.com>
PF driver needs to tear down and setup VF configuration after a reset event, e.g. due to reloading a VF driver. Re-use ice_reset_vf function for that by adding new parameter, which decides if new reset has to be triggered. This most likely does not cover all necessary steps and will be extended in future commits. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka <krzysztof.galazka@intel.com>
On receiving a virtual channel request from VF driver tried to configure and enable Tx and Rx queues without making sure that they were disabled. It caused issue with reloading a VF driver without a reset e.g. in case it crashed. Fix that by always disabling all Rx and Tx queues. While at that make sure that only queues requested by VF driver are enabled. VF driver may use less queues than assigned to the function when it was created.

Let VF driver know that HW supports WB_ON_ITR feature. It allows polling mode driver such as DPDK to configure an immediate write-back of completed descriptors. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka <krzysztof.galazka@intel.com>
Remove existing RSS HENA configuration to make sure that only config requested by VF is applied and allow VFs to disable RSS completely. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Galazka <krzysztof.galazka@intel.com>
Adds two new parameters to iovctl config for VLAN filter limits and MAC filter limits and gives them defaults of 64 and 16, respectively. These are intended to limit the number of resources that a VF can consume so that any one VF cannot starve an other VFs or the PF of filters.

Add previously undocumented loader tunables and expand the descriptions for all of them. Signed-off-by: Eric Joyner <erj@freebsd.org>

Remove mentions of the ports/packages for the utilities since those are no longer supported, and update the names of the utilities to match the names used on the Intel Download Center. Signed-off-by: Eric Joyner <erj@freebsd.org>

And change a word in the documentation about qualified modules; unlike the 700 series (ixl), most (if not every one that I've used) adapters don't have a qualified module check. Signed-off-by: Eric Joyner <erj@freebsd.org>

Documents the warnings and remedies to take if a warning message about it appears. Signed-off-by: Eric Joyner <erj@freebsd.org>
And remove some old/somewhat-irrelevant entries from the SEE ALSO list. sysctl(8) is added to the list because a lot of the adapter configuration that isn't done via standard network interface controls is done via that method. Signed-off-by: Eric Joyner <erj@freebsd.org>

In particular, reduce the number of the sysctls in the "SYSCTL PROCEDURES" section since most of them are documented in the other sections. And, add more descriptions and information to them in general. Signed-off-by: Eric Joyner <erj@freebsd.org>

I have some additional concerns and questions that I hope someone can answer:

If we don't have the readme, ifconfig sounds good to me.
"If such a stand-alone command is the topic of the current manual page, use Nm; if it is documented in another manual page, use Xr; otherwise, if it is not documented, for example because it is only available in foreign or historical operating systems, use Sy." ~https://mandoc.bsd.lv/mdoc/style/commands.html But what is Ethernet port configuration tool FreeBSD? If we can get that in ports, it should be something like:
That's usually what I do, and I usually say "Note that..." to reinforce that I'm intending it as standard text.
.Sy Thanks again. This is a big deal. The doc is what sells the users on it, I think. |
- More lint fixes - Minor wording changes - Change reference to the README for VLAN configuration to vlan(4), since the DESCRIPTION includes how to create and configure them - Use Va macros for sysctl names Signed-off-by: Eric Joyner <erj@freebsd.org>

This is eventually supposed to document the functionality from @kgalazka's #1573, but for now it contains information ported from the out-of-tree driver's man pages in order to bring the current man page up to date with features that are already in the upstream driver.
