From 65b6b4fa8f3369ae8f1ddf883233883607f6abb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: np Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2011 02:09:51 +0000 Subject: Many updates to cxgbe(4) - Device configuration via plain text config file. Also able to operate when not attached to the chip as the master driver. - Generic "work request" queue that serves as the base for both ctrl and ofld tx queues. - Generic interrupt handler routine that can process any event on any kind of ingress queue (via a dispatch table). - A couple of new driver ioctls. cxgbetool can now install a firmware to the card ("loadfw" command) and can read the card's memory ("memdump" and "tcb" commands). - Lots of assorted information within dev.t4nex.X.misc.* This is primarily for debugging and won't show up in sysctl -a. - Code to manage the L2 tables on the chip. - Updates to cxgbe(4) man page to go with the tunables that have changed. - Updates to the shared code in common/ - Updates to the driver-firmware interface (now at fw 1.4.16.0) MFC after: 1 month --- share/man/man4/cxgbe.4 | 78 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 66 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) (limited to 'share/man/man4/cxgbe.4') diff --git a/share/man/man4/cxgbe.4 b/share/man/man4/cxgbe.4 index ab2979a..4bf5ac3 100644 --- a/share/man/man4/cxgbe.4 +++ b/share/man/man4/cxgbe.4 @@ -99,18 +99,29 @@ Tunables can be set at the prompt before booting the kernel or stored in .Xr loader.conf 5 . .Bl -tag -width indent -.It Va hw.cxgbe.max_ntxq_10G_port -The maximum number of tx queues to use for a 10Gb port. -The default value is 8. -.It Va hw.cxgbe.max_nrxq_10G_port -The maximum number of rx queues to use for a 10Gb port. -The default value is 8. -.It Va hw.cxgbe.max_ntxq_1G_port -The maximum number of tx queues to use for a 1Gb port. -The default value is 2. -.It Va hw.cxgbe.max_nrxq_1G_port -The maximum number of rx queues to use for a 1Gb port. -The default value is 2. +.It Va hw.cxgbe.ntxq10g +The number of tx queues to use for a 10Gb port.
