16.Dt MAC_GROUP_INFO 9S
17.Os
18.Sh NAME
19.Nm mac_group_info ,
20.Nm mac_group_info_t
21.Nd MAC group information structure
22.Sh SYNOPSIS
23.In sys/mac_provider.h
24.Sh INTERFACE LEVEL
25.Sy Uncommitted -
26This interface is still evolving.
27API and ABI stability is not guaranteed.
28.Sh DESCRIPTION
29The
30.Vt mac_group_info_t
31structure is used by the MAC framework as part of the
32.Dv MAC_CAPAB_RINGS
33capability.
34For background on the MAC framework, please see
35.Xr mac 9E
36and for an introduction to the
37.Dv MAC_CAPAB_RINGS
38capability,
39.Xr mac_capab_rings 9E .
40.Pp
41When a device driver declares that it supports the
42.Dv MAC_CAPAB_RINGS
43capability and fills out the capability structure as described in
44.Xr mac_capab_rings 9E ,
45it indicates that it supports a number of transmit and receive groups.
46For each group that it indicates, its
47.Xr mr_gget 9E
48entry point will be called, during which it will have to fill out the
49.Vt mac_group_info_t
50structure described here.
51.Sh TYPES
52The following types define the function pointers in use in the
53.Vt mac_group_info_t
54structure.
55.Bd -literal -offset indent

75.Ed
76.Pp
77The
78.Fa mgi_driver
79member should be set by the driver to a driver-specific value that
80represents the data structure that corresponds to this group.
81The driver will receive this value in all of the callback functions that
82are defined in this structure and listed below.
83.Pp
84The
85.Fa mgi_start
86member is an optional entry point.
87If the driver needs to take a specific action before it the group is
88used, then it should set this to a function.
89For more information, see
90.Xr mgi_start 9E .
91.Pp
92The
93.Fa mgi_stop
94member is an optional entry point.
95If the driver needs to take a specific action when the group is being
96stopped, then it should set this to a function.
97For more information, see
98.Xr mgi_stop 9E .
99.Pp
100The
101.Fa mgi_count
102member should be set to a count of the number of rings that are present
103in this group.
104When the group type is
105.Dv MAC_GROUP_TYPE_STATIC ,
106then the value in
107.Fa mgi_count
108represents the fixed number of rings available to the group.
109.Pp
110The
111.Fa mgi_addmac
112member is an optional entry point and should be set to a function that
113can add a MAC address filter to the group in hardware.
114For more information, see
115.Xr mgi_addmac 9E .
116This member only has meaning for a receive group, transmit groups should
117set this to
118.Dv NULL .
119.Pp
120The
121.Fa mgi_remmac
122member is an optional entry point and should be set to a function that
123can remove a MAC address filter from a group in hardware.
124If the
125.Fa mgi_addmac
126member is a valid pointer, then this entry point must be as well.
127For more information, see
128.Xr mgi_remmac 9E .
129This member only has meaning for a receive group, transmit groups should
130set this to
131.Dv NULL .
132.Pp
133The
134.Fa mgi_addvlan
135member is an optional entry point and should be set to a function that
136can add a VLAN filter to the group in hardware.
137For more information, see
138.Xr mgi_addvlan 9E .
139This member only has meaning for a receive group, transmit groups should
140set this to
141.Dv NULL .
142.Pp
143The
144.Fa mgi_remvlan
145member is an optional entry point and should be set to a function that
146can remove a VLAN filter from a group in hardware.
147If the
148.Fa mgi_addvlan
149member is a valid pointer, then this entry point must be as well.
150For more information, see
151.Xr mgi_remvlan 9E .
152This member only has meaning for a receive group, transmit groups should
153set this to
154.Dv NULL .
155.Ss Required Members
156All of the non-function pointers described in this manual are required
157members for both transmit and receive groups.
158The
159.Fa mgi_start
160and
161.Fa mgi_stop
162members are optional for both transmit and receive groups.
163.Pp
164For transmit groups, all of the filter entry points must be set to
165.Dv NULL .
166.Pp
167Receive groups must have some way to set a MAC address filter.
168This means that one of the MAC address related functions must be set.
169Currently, the driver must implement either
170.Fa mgi_addmac
171and
172.Fa mgi_remmac .
