Neterion's (Formerly S2io) X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe Server Adapter Linux driver | ||

|
||
1) Introduction: | ||
---------------- | ||
This Linux driver supports all Neterion's X3100 series 10 GbE PCIe I/O | ||
Virtualized Server adapters. | ||
The X3100 series supports four modes of operation, configurable via | ||
firmware - | ||
Single function mode | ||
Multi function mode | ||
SRIOV mode | ||
MRIOV mode | ||
The functions share a 10GbE link and the pci-e bus, but hardly anything else | ||
inside the ASIC. Features like independent hw reset, statistics, bandwidth/ | ||
priority allocation and guarantees, GRO, TSO, interrupt moderation etc are | ||
supported independently on each function. | ||
|
||
(See below for a complete list of features supported for both IPv4 and IPv6) | ||
|
||
2) Features supported: | ||
---------------------- | ||
|
||
i) Single function mode (up to 17 queues) | ||
|
||
ii) Multi function mode (up to 17 functions) | ||
|
||
iii) PCI-SIG's I/O Virtualization | ||
- Single Root mode: v1.0 (up to 17 functions) | ||
- Multi-Root mode: v1.0 (up to 17 functions) | ||
|
||
iv) Jumbo frames | ||
X3100 Series supports MTU up to 9600 bytes, modifiable using | ||
ifconfig command. | ||
|
||
v) Offloads supported: (Enabled by default) | ||
Checksum offload (TCP/UDP/IP) on transmit and receive paths | ||
TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO) on transmit path | ||
Generic Receive Offload (GRO) on receive path | ||
|
||
vi) MSI-X: (Enabled by default) | ||
Resulting in noticeable performance improvement (up to 7% on certain | ||
platforms). | ||
|
||
vii) NAPI: (Enabled by default) | ||
For better Rx interrupt moderation. | ||
|
||
viii)RTH (Receive Traffic Hash): (Enabled by default) | ||
Receive side steering for better scaling. | ||
|
||
ix) Statistics | ||
Comprehensive MAC-level and software statistics displayed using | ||
"ethtool -S" option. | ||
|
||
x) Multiple hardware queues: (Enabled by default) | ||
Up to 17 hardware based transmit and receive data channels, with | ||
multiple steering options (transmit multiqueue enabled by default). | ||
|
||
3) Configurable driver parameters: | ||
---------------------------------- | ||
|
||
i) max_config_dev | ||
Specifies maximum device functions to be enabled. | ||
Valid range: 1-8 | ||
|
||
ii) max_config_port | ||
Specifies number of ports to be enabled. | ||
Valid range: 1,2 | ||
Default: 1 | ||
|
||
iii)max_config_vpath | ||
Specifies maximum VPATH(s) configured for each device function. | ||
Valid range: 1-17 | ||
|
||
iv) vlan_tag_strip | ||
Enables/disables vlan tag stripping from all received tagged frames that | ||
are not replicated at the internal L2 switch. | ||
Valid range: 0,1 (disabled, enabled respectively) | ||
Default: 1 | ||
|
||
v) addr_learn_en | ||
Enable learning the mac address of the guest OS interface in | ||
virtualization environment. | ||
Valid range: 0,1 (disabled, enabled respectively) | ||
Default: 0 | ||
|
||
4) Troubleshooting: | ||
------------------- | ||
|
||
To resolve an issue with the source code or X3100 series adapter, please collect | ||
the statistics, register dumps using ethool, relevant logs and email them to | ||
support@neterion.com. |
