98In all tunable descriptions below, X represents the adapter number.
99.Pp
100To disable MSI interrupts for all
101.Nm
102driver instances, set this tunable value in
103.Xr loader.conf 5 :
104.Bd -literal -offset indent
105hw.mps.disable_msi=1
106.Ed
107.Pp
108To disable MSI interrupts for a specific
109.Nm
110driver instance, set this tunable value in
111.Xr loader.conf 5 :
112.Bd -literal -offset indent
113dev.mps.X.disable_msi=1
114.Ed
115.Pp
116To disable MSI-X interrupts for all
117.Nm
118driver instances, set this tunable value in
119.Xr loader.conf 5 :
120.Bd -literal -offset indent
121hw.mps.disable_msix=1
122.Ed
123.Pp
124To disable MSI-X interrupts for a specific
125.Nm
126driver instance, set this tunable value in
127.Xr loader.conf 5 :
128.Bd -literal -offset indent
129dev.mps.X.disable_msix=1
130.Ed
131.Pp
132To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for all adapters, set this
133tunable in
134.Xr loader.conf 5 :
135.Bd -literal -offset indent
136hw.mps.max_chains=NNNN
137.Ed
138.Pp
139To set the maximum number of DMA chains allocated for a specific adapter,
140set this tunable in
141.Xr loader.conf 5 :
142.Bd -literal -offset indent
143dev.mps.X.max_chains=NNNN
144.Ed
145.Pp
146The default max_chains value is 2048.
147.Pp
148The current number of free chain frames is stored in the
149dev.mps.X.chain_free
150.Xr sysctl 8
151variable.
152.Pp
153The lowest number of free chain frames seen since boot is stored in the
154dev.mps.X.chain_free_lowwater
155.Xr sysctl 8
156variable.
157.Pp
158The number of times that chain frame allocations have failed since boot is
159stored in the
160dev.mps.X.chain_alloc_fail
161.Xr sysctl 8
162variable.
163This can be used to determine whether the max_chains tunable should be
164increased to help performance.
165.Pp
166The current number of active I/O commands is shown in the
167dev.mps.X.io_cmds_active
168.Xr sysctl 8
169variable.
170.Pp
171To set the maximum number of pages that will be used per I/O for all adapters,
172set this tunable in
173.Xr loader.conf 5 :
174.Bd -literal -offset indent
175hw.mps.max_io_pages=NNNN
176.Ed
177.Pp
178To set the maximum number of pages that will be used per I/O for a specific
179adapter, set this tunable in
180.Xr loader.conf 5 :
181.Bd -literal -offset indent
182dev.mps.X.max_io_pages=NNNN
183.Ed
184.Pp
185The default max_io_pages value is -1, meaning that the maximum I/O size that
186will be used per I/O will be calculated using the IOCFacts values stored in
187the controller.
188The lowest value that the driver will use for max_io_pages is 1, otherwise
189IOCFacts will be used to calculate the maximum I/O size.
190The smaller I/O size calculated from either max_io_pages or IOCFacts will be the
191maximum I/O size used by the driver.
192.Pp
193The highest number of active I/O commands seen since boot is stored in the
194dev.mps.X.io_cmds_highwater
195.Xr sysctl 8
196variable.
197.Pp
198Devices can be excluded from
199.Nm
200control for all adapters by setting this tunable in
201.Xr loader.conf 5 :
202.Bd -literal -offset indent
203hw.mps.exclude_ids=Y
204.Ed
205.Pp
206Y represents the target ID of the device.
207If more than one device is to be excluded, target IDs are separated by commas.
208.Pp
209Devices can be excluded from
210.Nm
211control for a specific adapter by setting this tunable in
212.Xr loader.conf 5 :
213.Bd -literal -offset indent
214dev.mps.X.exclude_ids=Y
215.Ed
216.Pp
217Y represents the target ID of the device.
218If more than one device is to be excluded, target IDs are separated by commas.
219.Pp
220The adapter can issue the
221.Sy StartStopUnit
222SCSI command to SATA direct-access devices during shutdown.
223This allows the device to quiesce powering down.
224To control this feature for all adapters, set the
225.Bd -literal -offset indent
226hw.mps.enable_ssu
227.Ed
228.Pp
229tunable in
230.Xr loader.conf 5
231to one of these values:
232.Bl -tag -width 6n -offset indent
233.It 0
234Do not send SSU to either HDDs or SSDs.
235.It 1
236Send SSU to SSDs, but not to HDDs.
237This is the default value.
238.It 2
239Send SSU to HDDs, but not to SSDs.
240.It 3
241Send SSU to both HDDs and SSDs.
242.El
243.Pp
244To control the feature for a specific adapter, set this tunable value in
245.Xr loader.conf 5 :
246.Bd -literal -offset indent
247dev.mps.X.enable_ssu
248.Ed
249.Pp
250The same set of values are valid when setting this tunable for all adapters.
251.Pp
252SATA disks that take several seconds to spin up and fail the SATA Identify
253command might not be discovered by the driver.
254This problem can sometimes be overcome by increasing the value of the spinup
255wait time in
256.Xr loader.conf 5
257with the
258.Bd -literal -offset indent
259hw.mps.spinup_wait_time=NNNN
260.Ed
261.Pp
262tunable.
263NNNN represents the number of seconds to wait for SATA devices to spin up when
264the device fails the initial SATA Identify command.
265.Pp
266Spinup wait times can be set for specific adapters in
267.Xr loader.conf 5 :
268with the
269.Bd -literal -offset indent
270dev.mps.X.spinup_wait_time=NNNN
271.Ed
272.Pp
273tunable.
274NNNN is the number of seconds to wait for SATA devices to spin up when they fail
275the initial SATA Identify command.
276.Sh DEBUGGING
277To enable debugging prints from the
278.Nm
279driver, set the
280.Bd -literal -offset indent
281hw.mps.X.debug_level
282.Ed
283.Pp
284tunable, either in
285.Xr loader.conf 5
286or by using
287.Xr sysctl 8 .
288These bits have the described effects:
289.Bd -literal -offset indent
2900x0001 Enable informational prints (set by default).
2910x0002 Enable prints for driver faults (set by default).
2920x0004 Enable prints for controller events.
2930x0008 Enable prints for controller logging.
2940x0010 Enable prints for tracing recovery operations.
2950x0020 Enable prints for parameter errors and programming bugs.
2960x0040 Enable prints for system initialization operations.
2970x0080 Enable prints for more detailed information.
2980x0100 Enable prints for user-generated commands (IOCTL).
2990x0200 Enable prints for device mapping.
3000x0400 Enable prints for tracing through driver functions.
