API and ABI stability is not guaranteed. .Sh PARAMETERS .Bl -tag -width Fa .It Fa driver A pointer to the ring's private data that was passed in via the .Vt mgi_driver member of the .Xr mac_group_info 9S structure as part of the .Xr mr_gget 9E entry point. .It Fa mac A pointer to an array of bytes that contains the unicast address to add or remove from a filter. It is guaranteed to be at least as long, in bytes, as the MAC plugin's address length. For Ethernet devices that length is six bytes, .Dv ETHERADDRL . .It Fa vlan The numeric value of the VLAN that should be added or removed from a filter. .El .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Fn mac_filter family of entry points are used to add and remove various classes of filters from a device. For more information on the filters, see the .Sy Filters section of .Xr mac_capab_rings 9S and the discussion around setting these members in .Xr mac_group_info 9S . .Pp The .Fa driver argument indicates which group the request to add or remove a filter is being requested on. .Pp The filter addition operations, .Fn mgi_addmac , .Fn mgi_addvlan , and .Fn mgi_addmvf , all instruct the system to add a filter to the specified group. The filter should not target any specific ring in the group. If multiple rings are present, then the driver should ensure that the hardware balances incoming traffic amongst all of the rings through a consistent hashing mechanism such as receive side scaling. .Pp The .Fn mgi_addmac entry point instructs the driver to add the MAC address specified in .Fa mac to the filter list for the group. The MAC address should always be a unicast MAC address; however, the driver is encouraged to verify that before adding it. .Pp The .Fn mgi_remmac should remove the MAC address specified in .Fa mac from the filter list for the group. .Pp The .Fn mgi_addvlan entry point instructs the driver to add the VLAN specified in .Fa vlan to the filter list for the group. The .Fn mgi_remvlan entry point instructs the driver to remove the VLAN specified in .Fa vlan from the filter list for the group. .Ss Stacking Filters Multiple filters of the same class should always be treated as a logical-OR. The frame may match any of the filters in a given class to be accepted. Filters of different classes should always be treated as a logical-AND. The frame must match a filter in all programmed classes to be accepted. For more information, see the .Sy Filters section of .Xr mac_capab_rings 9S . .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the driver should ensure that the filter has been added or removed and return .Sy 0 . Otherwise, it should return the appropriate error number. .Sh ERRORS The device driver may return one of the following errors. While this list is not intended to be exhaustive, it is recommended to use one of these if possible. .Bl -tag -width Er .It Er EEXIST The requested filter has already been programmed into the device. .It Er EINVAL The address .Fa mac is not a valid unicast address. The VLAN .Fa vlan is not a valid VLAN identifier. .It Er EIO The driver encountered a device or transport error while trying to update the device's state. .It Er ENOENT The driver was asked to remove a filter which was not currently programmed. .It Er ENOTSUP The driver does not support this specific function. This should only be used on specific hardware .Pq generally devices from cloud providers where neither promiscuous mode nor filters will allow the filter to operate. .It Er ENOSPC The driver has run out of available hardware filters. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr mac 9E , .Xr mac_capab_rings 9E , .Xr mr_gget 9E , .Xr mac_group_info 9S
