Devlink Params
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
``devlink`` provides capability for a driver to expose device parameters for low
|
|
level device functionality. Since devlink can operate at the device-wide
|
|
level, it can be used to provide configuration that may affect multiple
|
|
ports on a single device.
|
|
|
|
This document describes a number of generic parameters that are supported
|
|
across multiple drivers. Each driver is also free to add their own
|
|
parameters. Each driver must document the specific parameters they support,
|
|
whether generic or not.
|
|
|
|
Configuration modes
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Parameters may be set in different configuration modes.

|
|
* - Name
|
|
- Description
|
|
* - ``runtime``
|
|
- set while the driver is running, and takes effect immediately. No
|
|
reset is required.
|
|
* - ``driverinit``
|
|
- applied while the driver initializes. Requires the user to restart
|
|
the driver using the ``devlink`` reload command.
|
|
* - ``permanent``
|
|
- written to the device's non-volatile memory. A hard reset is required
|
|
for it to take effect.
|
|
|
|
Reloading
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
In order for ``driverinit`` parameters to take effect, the driver must
|
|
support reloading via the ``devlink-reload`` command. This command will
|
|
request a reload of the device driver.

Generic configuration parameters
|
|
================================
|
|
The following is a list of generic configuration parameters that drivers may
|
|
add. Use of generic parameters is preferred over each driver creating their
|
|
own name.

|
.. list-table:: List of generic parameters
|
|
:widths: 5 5 90
|
|
|
|
* - Name
|
|
- Type
|
|
- Description
|
|
* - ``enable_sriov``
|
|
- Boolean
|
|
- Enable Single Root I/O Virtualization (SRIOV) in the device.
|
|
* - ``ignore_ari``
|
|
- Boolean
|
|
- Ignore Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI) capability. If
|
|
enabled, the adapter will ignore ARI capability even when the
|
|
platform has support enabled. The device will create the same number
|
|
of partitions as when the platform does not support ARI.
|
|
* - ``msix_vec_per_pf_max``
|
|
- u32
|
|
- Provides the maximum number of MSI-X interrupts that a device can
|
|
create. Value is the same across all physical functions (PFs) in the
|
|
device.
|
|
* - ``msix_vec_per_pf_min``
|
|
- u32
|
|
- Provides the minimum number of MSI-X interrupts required for the
|
|
device to initialize. Value is the same across all physical functions
|
|
(PFs) in the device.
|
|
* - ``fw_load_policy``
|
|
- u8
|
|
- Control the device's firmware loading policy.
|
|
- ``DEVLINK_PARAM_FW_LOAD_POLICY_VALUE_DRIVER`` (0)
|
|
Load firmware version preferred by the driver.
|
|
- ``DEVLINK_PARAM_FW_LOAD_POLICY_VALUE_FLASH`` (1)
|
|
Load firmware currently stored in flash.
|
|
- ``DEVLINK_PARAM_FW_LOAD_POLICY_VALUE_DISK`` (2)
|
|
Load firmware currently available on host's disk.
|
|
* - ``reset_dev_on_drv_probe``
|
|
- u8
|
|
- Controls the device's reset policy on driver probe.
|
|
- ``DEVLINK_PARAM_RESET_DEV_ON_DRV_PROBE_VALUE_UNKNOWN`` (0)
|
|
Unknown or invalid value.
|
|
- ``DEVLINK_PARAM_RESET_DEV_ON_DRV_PROBE_VALUE_ALWAYS`` (1)
|
|
Always reset device on driver probe.
|
|
- ``DEVLINK_PARAM_RESET_DEV_ON_DRV_PROBE_VALUE_NEVER`` (2)
|
|
Never reset device on driver probe.
|
|
- ``DEVLINK_PARAM_RESET_DEV_ON_DRV_PROBE_VALUE_DISK`` (3)
|
|
Reset the device only if firmware can be found in the filesystem.
|
|
* - ``enable_roce``
|
|
- Boolean
|
|
- Enable handling of RoCE traffic in the device.
|
|
* - ``internal_err_reset``
|
|
- Boolean
|
|
- When enabled, the device driver will reset the device on internal
|
|
errors.
|
|
* - ``max_macs``
|
|
- u32
|
|
- Specifies the maximum number of MAC addresses per ethernet port of
|
|
this device.
|
|
* - ``region_snapshot_enable``
|
|
- Boolean
|
|
- Enable capture of ``devlink-region`` snapshots.
|
|
* - ``enable_remote_dev_reset``
|
|
- Boolean
|
|
- Enable device reset by remote host. When cleared, the device driver
|
|
will NACK any attempt of other host to reset the device. This parameter
|
|
is useful for setups where a device is shared by different hosts, such
|
|
as multi-host setup.
