Add a devlink parameter to control the number of large groups in a
autogrouped flow table. The default value is 15, and the range is between 1
and 1024.
The size of each large group can be calculated according to the following
formula: size = 4M / (fdb_large_groups + 1).
Examples:
- Set the number of large groups to 20.
$ devlink dev param set pci/0000:82:00.0 name fdb_large_groups \
cmode driverinit value 20
Then run devlink reload command to apply the new value.
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:82:00.0
- Read the number of large groups in flow table.
$ devlink dev param show pci/0000:82:00.0 name fdb_large_groups
pci/0000:82:00.0:
name fdb_large_groups type driver-specific
values:
cmode driverinit value 20

====================
|
|
|
|
This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``mlx5``
|
|
device driver.

|
|
- string
|
|
- runtime
|
|
- Controls the flow steering mode of the driver
|
|
|
|
* ``dmfs`` Device managed flow steering. In DMFS mode, the HW
|
|
steering entities are created and managed through firmware.
|
|
* ``smfs`` Software managed flow steering. In SMFS mode, the HW
|
|
steering entities are created and manage through the driver without
|
|
firmware intervention.
|
|
* - ``fdb_large_groups``
|
|
- u32
|
|
- driverinit
|
|
- Control the number of large groups (size > 1) in the FDB table.
|
|
|
|
* The default value is 15, and the range is between 1 and 1024.
