mlx5 subfunction
|
||||
================
|
||||
mlx5 supports subfunction management using devlink port (see :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-port.rst <devlink_port>`) interface.
|
||||
|
||||
A Subfunction has its own function capabilities and its own resources. This
|
||||
means a subfunction has its own dedicated queues (txq, rxq, cq, eq). These
|
||||
queues are neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function.
|
||||
|
||||
When a subfunction is RDMA capable, it has its own QP1, GID table and rdma
|
||||
resources neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function.
|
||||
|
||||
A subfunction has a dedicated window in PCI BAR space that is not shared
|
||||
with ther other subfunctions or the parent PCI function. This ensures that all
|
||||
devices (netdev, rdma, vdpa etc.) of the subfunction accesses only assigned
|
||||
PCI BAR space.
|
||||
|
||||
A Subfunction supports eswitch representation through which it supports tc
|
||||
offloads. The user configures eswitch to send/receive packets from/to
|
||||
the subfunction port.
|
||||
|
||||
Subfunctions share PCI level resources such as PCI MSI-X IRQs with
|
||||
other subfunctions and/or with its parent PCI function.

||||

||||

Subfunction is created using devlink port interface.
|
||||
|
||||
- Change device to switchdev mode::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev
|
||||
|
||||
- Add a devlink port of subfunction flaovur::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth6 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached
|
||||
|
||||
- Show a devlink port of the subfunction::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/32768
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0sf88 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached
|
||||
|
||||
- Delete a devlink port of subfunction after use::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port del pci/0000:06:00.0/32768
|
||||
|
||||
mlx5 function attributes
|
||||
========================
|
||||
The mlx5 driver provides a mechanism to setup PCI VF/SF function attributes in
|
||||
a unified way for SmartNIC and non-SmartNIC.
|
||||
|
||||
This is supported only when the eswitch mode is set to switchdev. Port function
|
||||
configuration of the PCI VF/SF is supported through devlink eswitch port.
|
||||
|
||||
Port function attributes should be set before PCI VF/SF is enumerated by the
|
||||
driver.
|
||||
|
||||
MAC address setup
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
mlx5 driver provides mechanism to setup the MAC address of the PCI VF/SF.
|
||||
|
||||
The configured MAC address of the PCI VF/SF will be used by netdevice and rdma
|
||||
device created for the PCI VF/SF.
|
||||
|
||||
- Get the MAC address of the VF identified by its unique devlink port index::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 1
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00
|
||||
|
||||
- Set the MAC address of the VF identified by its unique devlink port index::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/2 hw_addr 00:11:22:33:44:55
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 1
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:11:22:33:44:55
|
||||
|
||||
- Get the MAC address of the SF identified by its unique devlink port index::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/32768
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0sf88 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00
|
||||
|
||||
- Set the MAC address of the VF identified by its unique devlink port index::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/32768 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/32768
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0sf88 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 sfnum 88
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88
|
||||
|
||||
SF state setup
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
To use the SF, the user must active the SF using the SF function state
|
||||
attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
- Get the state of the SF identified by its unique devlink port index::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show ens2f0npf0sf88
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev ens2f0npf0sf88 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state inactive opstate detached
|
||||
|
||||
- Activate the function and verify its state is active::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state active
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show ens2f0npf0sf88
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev ens2f0npf0sf88 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state active opstate detached
|
||||
|
||||
Upon function activation, the PF driver instance gets the event from the device
|
||||
that a particular SF was activated. It's the cue to put the device on bus, probe
|
||||
it and instantiate the devlink instance and class specific auxiliary devices
|
||||
for it.
|
||||
|
||||
- Show the auxiliary device and port of the subfunction::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink dev show
|
||||
devlink dev show auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.4
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.4/1
|
||||
auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.4/1: type eth netdev p0sf88 flavour virtual port 0 splittable false
|
||||
|
||||
$ rdma link show mlx5_0/1
|
||||
link mlx5_0/1 state ACTIVE physical_state LINK_UP netdev p0sf88
|
||||
|
||||
$ rdma dev show
|
||||
8: rocep6s0f1: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d113 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112
|
||||
13: mlx5_0: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 0000:00ff:fe00:8888 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112
|
||||
|
||||
- Subfunction auxiliary device and class device hierarchy::
|
||||
|
||||
mlx5_core.sf.4
|
||||
(subfunction auxiliary device)
|
||||
/\
|
||||
/ \
|
||||
/ \
|
||||
/ \
|
||||
/ \
|
||||
mlx5_core.eth.4 mlx5_core.rdma.4
|
||||
(sf eth aux dev) (sf rdma aux dev)
|
||||
| |
|
||||
| |
|
||||
p0sf88 mlx5_0
|
||||
(sf netdev) (sf rdma device)
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, the SF port also gets the event when the driver attaches to the
|
||||
auxiliary device of the subfunction. This results in changing the operational
|
||||
state of the function. This provides visiblity to the user to decide when is it
|
||||
safe to delete the SF port for graceful termination of the subfunction.
|
||||
|
||||
- Show the SF port operational state::
|
||||
|
||||
$ devlink port show ens2f0npf0sf88
|
||||
pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev ens2f0npf0sf88 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false
|
||||
function:
|
||||
hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state active opstate attached
