.Dd September 30, 2014 .Dt SFXGE 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm sfxge .Nd "Solarflare 10Gb Ethernet adapter driver" .Sh SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "device sfxge" .Ed
p To load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in .Xr loader.conf 5 : d -literal -offset indent sfxge_load="YES" .Ed .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on Solarflare SFC9000 family controllers. The driver supports jumbo frames, transmit/receive checksum offload, TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO), Large Receive Offload (LRO), VLAN checksum offload, VLAN TSO, and Receive Side Scaling (RSS) using MSI-X interrupts.
p The driver allocates 1 receive queue, transmit queue, event queue and IRQ per CPU up to a maximum of 64. IRQ affinities should be spread out using .Xr cpuset 1 . Interrupt moderation may be controlled through the sysctl .Va dev.sfxge.%d.int_mod (units are microseconds).
p For more information on configuring this device, see .Xr ifconfig 8 .
p A large number of MAC, PHY and data path statistics are available under the sysctl .Va dev.sfxge.%d.stats . The adapter's VPD fields including its serial number are available under the sysctl .Va dev.sfxge.%d.vpd . .Sh HARDWARE The .Nm driver supports all 10Gb Ethernet adapters based on Solarflare SFC9000 family controllers. .Sh LOADER TUNABLES Tunables can be set at the .Xr loader 8 prompt before booting the kernel or stored in .Xr loader.conf 5 . Actual values can be obtained using .Xr sysctl 8 . l -tag -width indent t Va hw.sfxge.rx_ring The maximum number of descriptors in a receive queue ring. Supported values are: 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096. t Va hw.sfxge.tx_ring The maximum number of descriptors in a transmit queue ring. Supported values are: 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096. t Va hw.sfxge.tx_dpl_get_max The maximum length of the deferred packet .Dq get-list for queued transmit packets, used only if the transmit queue lock can be acquired. If a packet is dropped, the .Va tx_early_drops counter is incremented and the local sender receives ENOBUFS. The value must be greater than 0. t Va hw.sfxge.tx_dpl_put_max The maximum length of the deferred packet .Dq put-list for queued transmit packets, used if the transmit queue lock cannot be acquired. If a packet is dropped, the .Va tx_early_drops counter is incremented and the local sender receives ENOBUFS. The value must be greater than or equal to 0. .El .Sh SUPPORT For general information and support, go to the Solarflare support website at:
