31.Sh INTERFACE LEVEL
32.Sy Uncommitted -
33This interface is still evolving.
34API and ABI stability is not guaranteed.
35.Sh PARAMETERS
36.Bl -tag -width Fa
37.It Fa driver
38A pointer to the driver's private data that was passed in via the
39.Fa m_pdata
40member of the
41.Xr mac_register 9S
42structure to the
43.Xr mac_register 9F
44function.
45.It Fa rtype
46A value indicating the type of ring that makes up the groups.
47Valid values include:
48.Bl -tag -width Dv
49.It Dv MAC_RING_TYPE_RX
50The group is intended for use with receive rings.
51.It Dv MAC_RING_TYPE_TX
52The group is intended for use with transmit rings.
53.El
54.It Fa group_index
55An integer value that uniquely identifying the group.
56Groups are numbered starting from zero.
57.It Fa infop
58A pointer to an instance of a
59.Xr mac_group_info 9S
60structure.
61.It Fa gh
62An opaque pointer to a group handle that can be used to identify this
63group.
64.El
65.Sh DESCRIPTION
66The
67.Fn mr_gget
68entry point provides a means for the device driver to fill in
69information about a group.
70The driver returns information about the group to the MAC framework via
71the
72.Fa infop
73argument.
74For the list of fields and an explanation of how to fill them in, please
75see
76.Xr mac_group_info 9S .
77.Pp
78The
79.Fa rtype
80argument describes whether this is a group of receive rings or a group
81of transmit rings.
82This is identified by the value in
83.Fa rtype
84which will be
85.Dv MAC_RING_TYPE_RX
86for a receive group
87and
88.Dv MAC_RING_TYPE_TX
89for a transmit group.
90It is recommended that a driver doule check that the
91.Fa rtype
92matches what it expects if it uses separate entry points for receive and
93transmit groups.
94The group information that is filled in varies between transmit and
95receive groups.
96If separate entry points were not specified in the
97.Xr mac_capab_rings 9E
98structure, then the driver must ensure that it checks this value and
99acts appropriately.
100.Pp
101The
102.Fa group_index
103argument is used to uniquely identify a group.
104Groups are numbered starting at zero and end at one less then the number
105of groups specified in
106.Fa mr_gnum
107member of the
108.Vt mac_capbab_rings_t
109structure which is described in
110.Xr mac_capab_rings 9E .
111Group IDs can be represented as the mathematical range [0, mr_gnum).
112.Pp
113After filling in the group information in
114.Fa infop ,
115the driver should make sure to store the group handle
116.Fa gh
117for future use, mapping it to the index
118.Fa group_index .
119.Sh CONTEXT
120The
121.Fn mr_gget
122entry point will be called in response to a driver calling the
123.Xr mac_register 9F
124function and the driver has acknowledged that it supports the
125.Dv MAC_CAPAB_RINGS
126capability.
