the following lines in your +kernel configuration file: +.Bd -ragged -offset indent +.Cd "device iflib" +.Cd "device axp" +.Ed +.Pp +Alternatively, to load the driver as a +module at boot time, place the following line in +.Xr loader.conf 5 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +if_axp_load="YES" +.Ed +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +driver enables PCI-E based 10G Ethernet controller inbuilt in the +AMD EPYC processors. +.Pp +The following features are supported. +.Pp +.Bl -bullet -compact +.It +1G/10G SFP+ Link +.It +Jumbo frames (9000 Bytes) +.It +Transmit and Receive checksum offload +.It +TCP segmentation offload (TSO) +.It +VLAN tag insertion/extraction +.It +VLAN checksum offload +.It +VLAN TSO +.It +Receive side steering (RSS) +.It +IPV4 and IPV6 capable +.It +MSI-X interrupts +.It +Split header +.El +.Pp +All the above mentioned features are enabled by default. +.Pp +For hardware related questions, please refer the documentation supplied +along with AMD EPYC processors. +.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES +The following variables are available as +.Xr sysctl 8 +variables: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Va dev.ax.X.mac_stats +Dumps the transmit and receive statistics counter values for the controller. +This includes statistics specific to each transmit and receive queue. +.It Va dev.ax.X.channels_info +Dumps the permissible and default configured transmit and receive channel +information. +.It Va dev.ax.X.ringparam_info +Dumps the permissible and default configured descriptor information for the +transmit and receive queue. +.It Va dev.ax.X.link_ksettings_info +Dumps the current link setting like link mode, speed, duplex settings. +.It Va dev.ax.X.pauseparam_info +Dumps the current flow-control settings. +.It Va dev.ax.X.coalesce_info +Dumps the current interrupt coalescing settings. +.It Va dev.ax.X.link_info +Dumps the current state of the Link. +.It Va dev.ax.X.drv_info +Dumps the driver and controller firmware version information. +.It Va dev.ax.X.YYYY_register +.It Va dev.ax.X.YYYY_register_values +Sysctl to dump a specific register from a specific block of the controller. +YYYY specifies the block. +The following blocks are supported. +.Bl -bullet -compact +.It +xpcs +.It +xgmac +.It +xprop +.It +xi2c +.El +.Pp +Set the offset of the register to the first variable, and then read the value +of the register by reading the second variable. +.It Va dev.ax.X.axgbe_debug_level +Configure the log-level for the driver. +Default is 0. +Supports 0-3. +.It Va dev.ax.X.single_fl +This variable must be set before loading the driver, either via +.Xr loader.conf 5 +or through the use of +.Xr kenv 1 . +This cannot be modified when driver is loaded. +.Pp +Setting this variable in +.Xr loader.conf 5 +needs the system to be restarted to take effect. +When using +.Xr kenv 1 , +use the wrapper variable +.Va dev.ax.single_fl\&, +which will configure all AMD interfaces with single freelist per receive queue. +Default is 2 freelist per receive queue. +.Pp +This variable is to configure the interface when single freelist is needed. +(For Eg. netmap). +Basically, this will control the software behavior of how the receive +descriptors are used. +.Pp +Setting this variable to 1, will use 1 Freelist per receive queue. +.Pp +Setting this variable to 0, will use 2 Freelist per receive queue. +.Pp +Based on the setting, the receive buffers are programmed accordingly on the +received descriptors. +.Pp +By default, this variable will be set to 0, meaning the interfaces will be +configured for regular data traffic (not netmap traffic). +.It Va dev.ax.X.sph_enabled +This variable must be set before loading the driver, either via +.Xr loader.conf 5 +or through the use of +.Xr kenv 1 . +This cannot be modified when driver is loaded. +.Pp +Setting this variable in +.Xr loader.conf 5 +needs the system to be restarted to take effect. +When using +.Xr kenv 1 , +use the wrapper variable +.Va dev.ax.sph_enable\&, +which will configure(enable/disable) split header support in all +AMD interfaces. +.Pp +This variable is to control enable/disable of the split header feature in +the interface. +.Pp +Setting this variable to 1, will enable split header feature. +.Pp +Setting this variable to 0, will disable split header feature. +.Pp +By default, this variable will be set to 1, meaning the Split header support be +enabled. +.Pp +NOTE: It is recommended to use this variable only when +.Va single_fl\& +is configured. +Otherwise let it be default value. +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr iflib 4 , +.Xr netmap 4 , +.Xr vlan 4 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +device driver first appeared in +.Fx 13.0 . +.Pp +Another version of the driver is already present in +.Fx . +This driver was named as "axgbe" earlier, which is renamed as "axa" now. +This driver is for the ACPI based Ethernet controllers in the previous/older +version of the hardware. +This driver is authored by +.Aq Mt
