.Sh NAME
.Nm irdma
.Nd RDMA FreeBSD driver for Intel(R) Ethernet Controller E810
.Sh SYNOPSIS
This module relies on
.Xr ice 4
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It The following kernel options should be included in the configuration:
.Cd options OFED
.Cd options OFED_DEBUG_INIT
.Cd options COMPAT_LINUXKPI
.Cd options SDP
.Cd options IPOIB_CM
.El
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Ss Features
The
.Nm
driver provides RDMA protocol support on RDMA-capable Intel Ethernet 800 Series
NICs which are supported by
.Xr ice 4
.
.Pp
The driver supports both iWARP and RoCEv2 protocols.
.Sh CONFIGURATION
.Ss TUNABLES
Tunables can be set at the
.Xr loader 8
prompt before booting the kernel or stored in
.Xr loader.conf 5 .
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.roce_enable
enables RoCEv2 protocol usage on <interface_numer> interface.
.Pp
By default RoCEv2 protocol is used.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid
indicates that all DCQCN parameters are valid and should be updated in
registers or QP context.
.Pp
Setting this parameter to 1 means that settings in
.Em dcqcn_min_dec_factor , dcqcn_min_rate_MBps , dcqcn_F , dcqcn_T ,
.Em dcqcn_B, dcqcn_rai_factor, dcqcn_hai_factor, dcqcn_rreduce_mperiod
are taken into account.
Otherwise default values are used.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" must also be set for this tunable to take effect.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_min_dec_factor
The minimum factor by which the current transmit rate can be changed when
processing a CNP.
Value is given as a percentage (1-100).
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
to take effect.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_min_rate_MBps
The minimum value, in Mbits per second, for rate to limit.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
to take effect.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_F
The number of times to stay in each stage of bandwidth recovery.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
to take effect.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_T
The number of microseconds that should elapse before increasing the CWND
in DCQCN mode.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
to take effect.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_B
The number of bytes to transmit before updating CWND in DCQCN mode.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
to take effect.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_rai_factor
The number of MSS to add to the congestion window in additive increase mode.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
to take effect.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_hai_factor
The number of MSS to add to the congestion window in hyperactive increase mode.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
to take effect.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_rreduce_mperiod
The minimum time between 2 consecutive rate reductions for a single flow.
Rate reduction will occur only if a CNP is received during the relevant time
interval.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" and "dcqcn_cc_cfg_valid" must also be set for this tunable
to take effect.
.El
.Ss SYSCTL PROCEDURES
Sysctl controls are available for runtime adjustments.
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.debug
defines level of debug messages.
.Pp
Typical value: 1 for errors only, 0x7fffffff for full debug.
.It Va dev.irdma<interface_number>.dcqcn_enable
enables the DCQCN algorithm for RoCEv2.
.Pp
Note: "roce_enable" must also be set for this sysctl to take effect.
.Pp
Note: The change may be set at any time, but it will be applied only to newly
created QPs.
.El
.Ss TESTING
.Bl -enum
.It
To load the irdma driver, run:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
kldload irdma
.Ed
If if_ice is not already loaded, the system will load it on its own.
Please check whether the value of sysctl
.Va hw.ice.irdma
is 1, if the irdma driver is not loading.
To change the value put:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
hw.ice.irdma=1
.Ed
in
.Pa /boot/loader.conf
and reboot.
.It
To check that the driver was loaded, run:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
sysctl -a | grep infiniband
.Ed
Typically, if everything goes well, around 190 entries per PF will appear.
.It
Each interface of the card may work in either iWARP or RoCEv2 mode.
To enable RoCEv2 compatibility, add:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
dev.irdma<interface_number>.roce_enable=1
.Ed
where <interface_number> is a desired ice interface number on which
RoCEv2 protocol needs to be enabled, into:
.Pa /boot/loader.conf
, for instance:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It dev.irdma0.roce_enable=0
.It dev.irdma1.roce_enable=1
.El
will keep iWARP mode on ice0 and enable RoCEv2 mode on interface ice1.
The RoCEv2 mode is the default.
.Pp
To check irdma roce_enable status, run:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
sysctl dev.irdma<interface_number>.roce_enable
.Ed
for instance:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
sysctl dev.irdma2.roce_enable
.Ed
with returned value of '0' indicate the iWARP mode, and the value of '1'
indicate the RoCEv2 mode.
.Pp
Note: An interface configured in one mode will not be able to connect
to a node configured in another mode.
.Pp
Note: RoCEv2 has currently limited support, for functional testing only.
DCB and Priority Flow Controller (PFC) are not currently supported which
may lead to significant performance loss or connectivity issues.
.It
Enable flow control in the ice driver:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
sysctl dev.ice.<interface_number>.fc=3
.Ed
Enable flow control on the switch your system is connected to.
See your switch documentation for details.
.It
The source code for krping software is provided with the kernel in
/usr/src/sys/contrib/rdma/krping/.
To compile the software, change directory to
/usr/src/sys/modules/rdma/krping/ and invoke the following:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It make clean
.It make
.It make install
.It kldload krping
.El
.It
Start a krping server on one machine:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
echo size=64,count=1,port=6601,addr=100.0.0.189,server > /dev/krping
.Ed
.It
Connect a client from another machine:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
echo size=64,count=1,port=6601,addr=100.0.0.189,client > /dev/krping
.Ed
.El
