When Multi-Circular Queue (MCQ) support is added and multiple queues become available, the following queue count tunable values will take effect: .Pp To force a single I/O queue pair shared by all CPUs, set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5): .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.ufshci.per_cpu_io_queues=0 .Ed .Pp To assign more than one CPU per I/O queue pair, thereby reducing the number of MSI-X vectors consumed by the device, set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5): .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.ufshci.min_cpus_per_ioq=X .Ed .Pp To change the I/O command timeout value (in seconds), set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5): .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.ufshci.timeout_period=X .Ed .Pp To change the I/O command retry count, set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5): .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.ufshci.retry_count=X .Ed .Pp To force the driver to use legacy INTx interrupts, set the following tunable value in loader.conf(5): .br (Note: until MCQ support is available the driver always uses legacy INTx, so this value effectively remains 1) .Bd -literal -offset indent hw.ufshci.force_intx=1 .Ed .Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES The following controller-level .Xr sysctl 8 nodes are currently implemented: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Va dev.ufshci.0.num_failures (R) Number of command failures for the entire controller. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.num_retries (R) Number of command retries for the entire controller. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.num_intr_handler_calls (R) Number of times the interrupt handler has been called. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.num_cmds (R) Total number of commands issued by the controller. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.timeout_period (RW) Configured timeout period (in seconds). .It Va dev.ufshci.0.cap (R) Host controller capabilities register value. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.num_io_queues (R) Number of I/O-queue pairs. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.io_queue_mode (R) Indicates single doorbell mode or multi circular queue mode. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.minor_version (R) Host controller minor version. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.major_version (R) Host controller major version. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.num_failures (R) Number of failed UTP task-management requests. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.ioq.num_retries (R) Number of retried UTP task-management requests. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.num_intr_handler_calls (R) Number of interrupt handler calls caused by UTP task-management requests. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.num_cmds (R) Number of UTP task-management requests issued. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.cq_head (R) Current location of the UTP task-management completion queue head. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.sq_tail (R) Current location of the UTP task-management submission queue tail. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.sq_head (R) Current location of the UTP task-management submission queue head. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.num_trackers (R) Number of trackers in the UTP task-management queue. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.utmrq.num_entries (R) Number of entries in the UTP task-management queue. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.num_failures (R) Number of failed UTP transfer requests. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.num_retries (R) Number of retried UTP transfer requests. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.num_intr_handler_calls (R) Number of interrupt-handler calls caused by UTP transfer requests. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.num_cmds (R) Number of UTP transfer requests issued. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.cq_head (R) Current location of the UTP transfer completion queue head. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.sq_tail (R) Current location of the UTP transfer submission queue tail. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.sq_head (R) Current location of the UTP transfer submission queue head. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.num_trackers (R) Number of trackers in the UTP transfer queue. .It Va dev.ufshci.0.ioq.0.num_entries (R) Number of entries in the UTP transfer queue. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr cam 4 , .Xr pci 4 , .Xr disk 9 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver first appeared in .Fx 15.0 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was developed by Samsung Electronics and originally written by .An Jaeyoon Choi Aq Mt j_yoon.choi@samsung.com . .Pp This manual page was written by .An Jaeyoon Choi Aq Mt j_yoon.choi@samsung.com .
