+.Sh NAME
+.Nm mpr
+.Nd "LSI Fusion-MPT 3 IT/IR 12Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI/SATA driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device pci"
+.Cd "device scbus"
+.Cd "device mpr"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+mpr_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for LSI Fusion-MPT 3 IT/IR
+.Tn SAS
+controllers.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The following controllers are supported by the
+.Nm
+driver:
+.Pp
+.Bl -bullet -compact
+.It
+LSI SAS 3004 (4 Port SAS)
+.It
+LSI SAS 3008 (8 Port SAS)
+.It
+LSI SAS 3108 (8 Port SAS)
+.El
+.Sh CONFIGURATION
+To disable MSI interrupts for all
+.Nm
+driver instances, set the following tunable value in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+hw.mpr.disable_msi=1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To disable MSI interrupts for a specific
+.Nm
+driver instance, set the following tunable value in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dev.mpr.X.disable_msi=1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where X is the adapter number.
+.Pp
+To disable MSI-X interrupts for all
+.Nm
+driver instances, set the following tunable value in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+hw.mpr.disable_msix=1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To disable MSI-X interrupts for a specific
+.Nm
+driver instance, set the following tunable value in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dev.mpr.X.disable_msix=1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for all adapters, set
+the following variable in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+hw.mpr.max_chains=NNNN
+.Ed
+.Pp
+To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for a specific adapter,
+set the following variable in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dev.mpr.X.max_chains=NNNN
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This variable may also be viewed via
+.Xr sysctl 8
+to see the maximum set for a given adapter.
+.Pp
+The current number of free chain frames may be seen via the
+dev.mpr.X.chain_free
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variable.
+.Pp
+The lowest number of free chain frames may be seen via the
+dev.mpr.X.chain_free_lowwater
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variable.
+.Pp
+The current number of active I/O commands is shown in the
+dev.mpr.X.io_cmds_active
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variable.
+.Pp
+The maximum number of active I/O commands seen since boot is shown in the
+dev.mpr.X.io_cmds_highwater
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variable.
+.Pp
+Devices can be excluded from
+.Nm
+control for all adapters by setting the following variable in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+hw.mpr.exclude_ids=Y
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where Y is the target ID of the device.
+If more than one device is to be
+excluded, target ID's are separated by commas.
+.Pp
+Devices can be excluded from
+.Nm
+control for a specific adapter by setting the following variable in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dev.mpr.X.exclude_ids=Y
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where X is the adapter number and Y is the target ID of the device.
+If more
+than one device is to be excluded, target ID's are separated by commas.
+.Sh DEBUGGING
+To enable debugging prints from the
+.Nm
+driver, set the
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+hw.mpr.X.debug_level
+.Ed
+.Pp
+variable, where X is the adapter number, either in
+.Xr loader.conf 5
+or via
+.Xr sysctl 8 .
+The following bits have the described effects:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+0x0001 Enable informational prints.
+0x0002 Enable prints for driver faults.
+0x0004 Enable prints for controller events.
+0x0008 Enable prints for controller logging.
+0x0010 Enable prints for tracing recovery operations.
+0x0020 Enable prints for parameter errors and programming bugs.
+0x0040 Enable prints for system initialization operations.
+0x0080 Enable prints for more detailed information.
+0x0100 Enable prints for user-generated commands.
+0x0200 Enable prints for device mapping.
+0x0400 Enable prints for tracing through driver functions.
