35.Sh NAME
36.Nm irdma
37.Nd RDMA FreeBSD driver for Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810
38.Sh SYNOPSIS
39This module relies on
40.Xr ice 4
41.Bl -tag -width indent
42.It The following kernel options should be included in the configuration:
43.Cd options OFED
44.Cd options OFED_DEBUG_INIT

48.El
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50.Ss Features
51The
52.Nm
53driver provides RDMA protocol support on RDMA-capable Intel Ethernet 800 Series
54NICs which are supported by
55.Xr ice 4
56.
57.Pp
58The driver supports both iWARP and RoCEv2 protocols.
59.Sh CONFIGURATION
60.Ss TUNABLES
61Tunables can be set at the
62.Xr loader 8
63prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
64.Xr loader.conf 5 .
65.Bl -tag -width indent
66.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.roce_enable
67enables RoCEv2 protocol usage on <interface_numer> interface.
68.Pp
69By default RoCEv2 protocol is used.
70.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid
71indicates that all DCQCN parameters are valid and should be updated in
72registers or QP context.
73.Pp
74Setting this parameter to 1 means that settings in
75.Em dcqcn_min_dec_factor , dcqcn_min_rate_MBps , dcqcn_F , dcqcn_T ,
76.Em dcqcn_B, dcqcn_rai_factor, dcqcn_hai_factor, dcqcn_rreduce_mperiod
77are taken into account.
78Otherwise default values are used.
79.Pp
80Note: "roce_enable" must also be set for this tunable to take effect.
81.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_min_dec_factor
82The minimum factor by which the current transmit rate can be changed when
83processing a CNP.
84Value is given as a percentage (1-100).
85.Pp
86Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
87to take effect.
88.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_min_rate_MBps
89The minimum value, in Mbits per second, for rate to limit.
90.Pp
91Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
92to take effect.
93.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_F
94The number of times to stay in each stage of bandwidth recovery.
95.Pp
96Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
97to take effect.
98.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_T
99The number of microseconds that should elapse before increasing the CWND
100in DCQCN mode.
101.Pp
102Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
103to take effect.
104.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_B
105The number of bytes to transmit before updating CWND in DCQCN mode.
106.Pp
107Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
108to take effect.
109.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_rai_factor
110The number of MSS to add to the congestion window in additive increase mode.
111.Pp
112Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
113to take effect.
114.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_hai_factor
115The number of MSS to add to the congestion window in hyperactive increase mode.
116.Pp
117Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
118to take effect.
119.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_rreduce_mperiod
120The minimum time between 2 consecutive rate reductions for a single flow.
121Rate reduction will occur only if a CNP is received during the relevant time
122interval.
123.Pp
124Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
125to take effect.
126.El
127.Ss SYSCTL PROCEDURES
128Sysctl controls are available for runtime adjustments.
129.Bl -tag -width indent
130.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.debug
131defines level of debug messages.
132.Pp
133Typical value: 1 for errors only, 0x7fffffff for full debug.
134.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_enable
135enables the DCQCN algorithm for RoCEv2.
136.Pp
137Note: "roce_enable" must also be set for this sysctl to take effect.
138.Pp
139Note: The change may be set at any time, but it will be applied only to newly
140created QPs.
141.El
142.Ss TESTING
143.Bl -enum
144.It
145To load the irdma driver, run:
146.Bd -literal -offset indent
147kldload irdma
148.Ed
149If if_ice is not already loaded, the system will load it on its own.
150Please check whether the value of sysctl
151.Va hw.ice.irdma
152is 1, if the irdma driver is not loading.
153To change the value put:
154.Bd -literal -offset indent
155hw.ice.irdma=1
156.Ed
157in
158.Pa /boot/loader.conf
159and reboot.
160.It
161To check that the driver was loaded, run:
162.Bd -literal -offset indent
163sysctl -a | grep infiniband
164.Ed
165Typically, if everything goes well, around 190 entries per PF will appear.
166.It
167Each interface of the card may work in either iWARP or RoCEv2 mode.
168To enable RoCEv2 compatibility, add:
169.Bd -literal -offset indent
170dev.irdma<interface_number>.roce_enable=1
171.Ed
172where <interface_number> is a desired ice interface number on which
173RoCEv2 protocol needs to be enabled, into:
174.Pa /boot/loader.conf
175, for instance:
176.Bl -tag -width indent
177.It dev.irdma0.roce_enable=0
178.It dev.irdma1.roce_enable=1
179.El
180will keep iWARP mode on ice0 and enable RoCEv2 mode on interface ice1.
181The RoCEv2 mode is the default.
182.Pp
183To check irdma roce_enable status, run:
184.Bd -literal -offset indent
185sysctl dev.irdma<interface_number>.roce_enable
186.Ed
187for instance:
188.Bd -literal -offset indent
189sysctl dev.irdma2.roce_enable
190.Ed
191with returned value of '0' indicate the iWARP mode, and the value of '1'
192indicate the RoCEv2 mode.
193.Pp
194Note: An interface configured in one mode will not be able to connect
195to a node configured in another mode.
196.Pp
197Note: RoCEv2 has currently limited support, for functional testing only.
198DCB and Priority Flow Controller (PFC) are not currently supported which
199may lead to significant performance loss or connectivity issues.
200.It
201Enable flow control in the ice driver:
202.Bd -literal -offset indent
203sysctl dev.ice.<interface_number>.fc=3
204.Ed
205Enable flow control on the switch your system is connected to.
206See your switch documentation for details.
207.It
208The source code for krping software is provided with the kernel in
209/usr/src/sys/contrib/rdma/krping/.
210To compile the software, change directory to
211/usr/src/sys/modules/rdma/krping/ and invoke the following:
212.Bl -tag -width indent
213.It make clean
214.It make
215.It make install
216.It kldload krping
217.El
218.It
219Start a krping server on one machine:
220.Bd -literal -offset indent
221echo size=64,count=1,port=6601,addr=100.0.0.189,server > /dev/krping
222.Ed
223.It
224Connect a client from another machine:
225.Bd -literal -offset indent
226echo size=64,count=1,port=6601,addr=100.0.0.189,client > /dev/krping
