QEDE Poll Mode Driver
======================
The QEDE poll mode driver library (**librte_pmd_qede**) implements support

several standard Linux distros like RHEL7.x, SLES12.x and Ubuntu.
It is compile-tested under FreeBSD OS.
More information can be found at `QLogic Corporation's Website
<http://www.qlogic.com>`_.

Prerequisites
-------------
- Requires storm firmware version **8.30.12.0**. Firmware may be available
inbox in certain newer Linux distros under the standard directory
``E.g. /lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values-8.30.12.0.bin``
If the required firmware files are not available then download it from
`QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/DefaultNewSearch.aspx>`_.
For downloading firmware file, select adapter category, model and DPDK Poll Mode Driver.
- Requires management firmware (MFW) version **8.30.x.x** or higher to be
flashed on to the adapter. If the required management firmware is not
available then download from
`QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/DefaultNewSearch.aspx>`_.
For downloading firmware upgrade utility, select adapter category, model and Linux distro.
To flash the management firmware refer to the instructions in the QLogic Firmware Upgrade Utility Readme document.
- SR-IOV requires Linux PF driver version **8.20.x.x** or higher.
If the required PF driver is not available then download it from
`QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/DefaultNewSearch.aspx>`_.
For downloading PF driver, select adapter category, model and Linux distro.
Performance note
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- For better performance, it is recommended to use 4K or higher RX/TX rings.
Config File Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following options can be modified in the ``.config`` file. Please note that
enabling debugging options may affect system performance.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_PMD`` (default **y**)
Toggle compilation of QEDE PMD driver.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_DEBUG_INFO`` (default **n**)
Toggle display of generic debugging messages.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_DEBUG_DRIVER`` (default **n**)
Toggle display of ecore related messages.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_DEBUG_TX`` (default **n**)
Toggle display of transmit fast path run-time messages.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_DEBUG_RX`` (default **n**)
Toggle display of receive fast path run-time messages.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_VF_TX_SWITCH`` (default **"y"**)
A knob to control per-VF Tx switching feature.
- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_QEDE_FW`` (default **""**)
Gives absolute path of firmware file.
``Eg: "/lib/firmware/qed/qed_init_values-8.30.12.0.bin"``
Empty string indicates driver will pick up the firmware file
from the default location /lib/firmware/qed.
CAUTION this option is more for custom firmware, it is not
recommended for use under normal condition.
Driver compilation and testing
------------------------------
Refer to the document :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
for details.
SR-IOV: Prerequisites and Sample Application Notes
--------------------------------------------------
This section provides instructions to configure SR-IOV with Linux OS.
**Note**: librte_pmd_qede will be used to bind to SR-IOV VF device and Linux native kernel driver (qede) will function as SR-IOV PF driver. Requires PF driver to be 8.10.x.x or higher.
#. Verify SR-IOV and ARI capability is enabled on the adapter using ``lspci``:
.. code-block:: console
lspci -s <slot> -vvv
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
[...]
Capabilities: [1b8 v1] Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI)
[...]
Capabilities: [1c0 v1] Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
[...]
Kernel driver in use: igb_uio
#. Load the kernel module:
.. code-block:: console
modprobe qede
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
systemd-udevd[4848]: renamed network interface eth0 to ens5f0
systemd-udevd[4848]: renamed network interface eth1 to ens5f1
#. Bring up the PF ports:
.. code-block:: console
ifconfig ens5f0 up
ifconfig ens5f1 up
#. Create VF device(s):
Echo the number of VFs to be created into ``"sriov_numvfs"`` sysfs entry
of the parent PF.
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
echo 2 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:81:00.0/sriov_numvfs
#. Assign VF MAC address:
Assign MAC address to the VF using iproute2 utility. The syntax is::
ip link set <PF iface> vf <VF id> mac <macaddr>
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
ip link set ens5f0 vf 0 mac 52:54:00:2f:9d:e8
#. PCI Passthrough:
The VF devices may be passed through to the guest VM using ``virt-manager`` or
``virsh``. QEDE PMD should be used to bind the VF devices in the guest VM
using the instructions from Driver compilation and testing section above.
#. Running testpmd
(Enable QEDE_DEBUG_INFO=y to view informational messages):
Refer to the document
:ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>` to run
``testpmd`` application.
Example output:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd -l 0,4-11 -n 4 -- -i --nb-cores=8 --portmask=0xf --rxd=4096 \
--txd=4096 --txfreet=4068 --enable-rx-cksum --rxq=4 --txq=4 \
--rss-ip --rss-udp
