4 +.Os +.Sh NAME +.Nm iflib +.Nd Network Interface Driver Framework +.Sh SYNOPSIS +.Cd "device pci" +.Cd "device iflib" +.Sh DESCRIPTION +.Nm +is a framework for network interface drivers for +.Fx . +It is designed to remove a large amount of the boilerplate that is often +needed for modern network interface devices, allowing driver authors to +focus on the specific code needed for their hardware. +This allows for a shared set of +.Xr sysctl 8 +names, rather than each driver naming them individually. +.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES +These variables must be set before loading the driver, either via +.Xr loader.conf 5 +or through the use of +.Xr kenv 1 . +They are all prefixed by +.Va dev.X.Y.iflib. +where X is the driver name, and Y is the instance number. +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Va override_nrxds +Override the number of RX descriptors for each queue. +The value is a comma separated list of positive integers. +Some drivers only use a single value, but others may use more. +These numbers must be powers of two, and zero means to use the default. +Individual drivers may have additional restrictions on allowable values. +Defaults to all zeros. +.It Va override_ntxds +Override the number of TX descriptors for each queue. +The value is a comma separated list of positive integers. +Some drivers only use a single value, but others may use more. +These numbers must be powers of two, and zero means to use the default. +Individual drivers may have additional restrictions on allowable values. +Defaults to all zeros. +.It Va override_qs_enable +When set, allows the number of transmit and receive queues to be different. +If not set, the lower of the number of TX or RX queues will be used for both. +.It Va override_nrxqs +Set the number of RX queues. +If zero, the number of RX queues is derived from the number of cores on the +socket connected to the controller. +Defaults to 0. +.It Va override_ntxqs +Set the number of TX queues. +If zero, the number of TX queues is derived from the number of cores on the +socket connected to the controller. +.It Va disable_msix +Disables MSI-X interrupts for the device. +.El +.Pp +These +.Xr sysctl 8 +variables can be changed at any time: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Va tx_abdicate +Controls how the transmit ring is serviced. +If set to zero, when a frame is submitted to the transmission ring, the same +task that is submitting it will service the ring unless there's already a +task servicing the TX ring. +This ensures that whenever there is a pending transmission, +the transmit ring is being serviced. +This results in higher transmit throughput. +If set to a non-zero value, task returns immediately and the transmit +ring is serviced by a different task. +This returns control to the caller faster and under high receive load, +may result in fewer dropped RX frames. +.It Va rx_budget +Sets the maximum number of frames to be received at a time. +Zero (the default) indicates the default (currently 16) should be used. +.El +.Pp +There are also some global sysctls which can change behaviour for all drivers, +and may be changed at any time. +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Va net.iflib.min_tx_latency +If this is set to a non-zero value, iflib will avoid any attempt to combine +multiple transmits, and notify the hardware as quickly as possible of +new descriptors. +This will lower the maximum throughput, but will also lower transmit latency. +.It Va net.iflib.no_tx_batch +Some NICs allow processing completed transmit descriptors in batches. +Doing so usually increases the transmit throughput by reducing the number of +transmit interrupts. +Setting this to a non-zero value will disable the use of this feature. +.El +.Pp +These +.Xr sysctl 8 +variables are read-only: +.Bl -tag

+.It Va txqZ +The following are repeated for each transmit queue, where Z is the transmit +queue instance number: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Va r_abdications +Number of consumer abdications in the MP ring for this queue. +An abdication occurs on every ring submission when tx_abdicate is true. +.It Va r_restarts +Number of consumer restarts in the MP ring for this queue. +A restart occurs when an attempt to drain a non-empty ring fails, +and the ring is already in the STALLED state. +.It Va r_stalls +Number of consumer stalls in the MP ring for this queue. +A stall occurs when an attempt to drain a non-empty ring fails. +.It Va r_starts +Number of normal consumer starts in the MP ring for this queue. +A start occurs when the MP ring transitions from IDLE to BUSY. +.It Va r_drops +Number of drops in the MP ring for this queue. +A drop occurs when there is an attempt to add an entry to an MP ring with +no available space. +.It Va r_enqueues +Number of entries which have been enqueued to the MP ring for this queue. +.It Va ring_state +MP (soft) ring state. +This privides a snapshot of the current MP ring state, including the producer +head and tail indexes, the consumer index, and the state. +The state is one of "IDLE", "BUSY", +"STALLED", or "ABDICATED". +.It Va txq_cleaned +The number of transmit descriptors which have been reclaimed. +Total cleaned. +.It Va txq_processed +The number of transmit descriptors which have been processed, but may not yet +have been reclaimed. +.It Va txq_in_use +Descriptors which have been added to the transmit queue, +but have not yet been cleaned. +This value will include both untransmitted descriptors as well as descriptors +which have been processed. +.It Va txq_cidx_processed +The transmit queue consumer index of the next descriptor to process. +.It Va txq_cidx +The transmit queue consumer index of the oldest descriptor to reclaim. +.It Va txq_pidx +The transmit queue producer index where the next descriptor to transmit will +be inserted. +.It Va no_tx_dma_setup +Number of times DMA mapping a transmit mbuf failed for reasons other than EFBIG. +.It Va txd_encap_efbig +Number of times DMA mapping a transmit mbuf failed due to
