===============
BPF ring buffer
===============
This document describes BPF ring buffer design, API, and implementation details.
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 2
Motivation
----------
There are two distinctive motivators for this work, which are not satisfied by
existing perf buffer, which prompted creation of a new ring buffer
implementation.
- more efficient memory utilization by sharing ring buffer across CPUs;
- preserving ordering of events that happen sequentially in time, even across
multiple CPUs (e.g., fork/exec/exit events for a task).
These two problems are independent, but perf buffer fails to satisfy both.
Both are a result of a choice to have per-CPU perf ring buffer. Both can be
also solved by having an MPSC implementation of ring buffer. The ordering
problem could technically be solved for perf buffer with some in-kernel
counting, but given the first one requires an MPSC buffer, the same solution
would solve the second problem automatically.
Semantics and APIs
------------------
Single ring buffer is presented to BPF programs as an instance of BPF map of
type ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF``. Two other alternatives considered, but
ultimately rejected.
One way would be to, similar to ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY``, make
``BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF`` could represent an array of ring buffers, but not
enforce "same CPU only" rule. This would be more familiar interface compatible
with existing perf buffer use in BPF, but would fail if application needed more
advanced logic to lookup ring buffer by arbitrary key.
``BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH_OF_MAPS`` addresses this with current approach.
Additionally, given the performance of BPF ringbuf, many use cases would just
opt into a simple single ring buffer shared among all CPUs, for which current
approach would be an overkill.
Another approach could introduce a new concept, alongside BPF map, to represent
generic "container" object, which doesn't necessarily have key/value interface
with lookup/update/delete operations. This approach would add a lot of extra
infrastructure that has to be built for observability and verifier support. It
would also add another concept that BPF developers would have to familiarize
themselves with, new syntax in libbpf, etc. But then would really provide no
additional benefits over the approach of using a map. ``BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF``
doesn't support lookup/update/delete operations, but so doesn't few other map
types (e.g., queue and stack; array doesn't support delete, etc).
The approach chosen has an advantage of re-using existing BPF map
infrastructure (introspection APIs in kernel, libbpf support, etc), being
familiar concept (no need to teach users a new type of object in BPF program),
and utilizing existing tooling (bpftool). For common scenario of using a single
ring buffer for all CPUs, it's as simple and straightforward, as would be with
a dedicated "container" object. On the other hand, by being a map, it can be
combined with ``ARRAY_OF_MAPS`` and ``HASH_OF_MAPS`` map-in-maps to implement
a wide variety of topologies, from one ring buffer for each CPU (e.g., as
a replacement for perf buffer use cases), to a complicated application
hashing/sharding of ring buffers (e.g., having a small pool of ring buffers
with hashed task's tgid being a look up key to preserve order, but reduce
contention).
Key and value sizes are enforced to be zero. ``max_entries`` is used to specify
the size of ring buffer and has to be a power of 2 value.
There are a bunch of similarities between perf buffer
(``BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY``) and new BPF ring buffer semantics:
- variable-length records;
- if there is no more space left in ring buffer, reservation fails, no
blocking;
- memory-mappable data area for user-space applications for ease of
consumption and high performance;
- epoll notifications for new incoming data;
- but still the ability to do busy polling for new data to achieve the
lowest latency, if necessary.
BPF ringbuf provides two sets of APIs to BPF programs:
- ``bpf_ringbuf_output()`` allows to *copy* data from one place to a ring
buffer, similarly to ``bpf_perf_event_output()``;
- ``bpf_ringbuf_reserve()``/``bpf_ringbuf_commit()``/``bpf_ringbuf_discard()``
APIs split the whole process into two steps. First, a fixed amount of space
is reserved. If successful, a pointer to a data inside ring buffer data
area is returned, which BPF programs can use similarly to a data inside
array/hash maps. Once ready, this piece of memory is either committed or
discarded. Discard is similar to commit, but makes consumer ignore the
record.
``bpf_ringbuf_output()`` has disadvantage of incurring extra memory copy,
because record has to be prepared in some other place first. But it allows to
submit records of the length that's not known to verifier beforehand. It also
closely matches ``bpf_perf_event_output()``, so will simplify migration
significantly.
``bpf_ringbuf_reserve()`` avoids the extra copy of memory by providing a memory
pointer directly to ring buffer memory. In a lot of cases records are larger
than BPF stack space allows, so many programs have use extra per-CPU array as
a temporary heap for preparing sample. bpf_ringbuf_reserve() avoid this needs
completely. But in exchange, it only allows a known constant size of memory to
be reserved, such that verifier can verify that BPF program can't access memory
outside its reserved record space. bpf_ringbuf_output(), while slightly slower
due to extra memory copy, covers some use cases that are not suitable for
``bpf_ringbuf_reserve()``.
The difference between commit and discard is very small. Discard just marks
a record as discarded, and such records are supposed to be ignored by consumer
code. Discard is useful for some advanced use-cases, such as ensuring
all-or-nothing multi-record submission, or emulating temporary
``malloc()``/``free()`` within single BPF program invocation.
Each reserved record is tracked by verifier through existing
reference-tracking logic, similar to socket ref-tracking. It is thus
impossible to reserve a record, but forget to submit (or discard) it.
``bpf_ringbuf_query()`` helper allows to query various properties of ring
buffer. Currently 4 are supported:
- ``BPF_RB_AVAIL_DATA`` returns amount of unconsumed data in ring buffer;
- ``BPF_RB_RING_SIZE`` returns the size of ring buffer;
- ``BPF_RB_CONS_POS``/``BPF_RB_PROD_POS`` returns current logical possition
of consumer/producer, respectively.
Returned values are momentarily snapshots of ring buffer state and could be
off by the time helper returns, so this should be used only for
debugging/reporting reasons or for implementing various heuristics, that take
into account highly-changeable nature of some of those characteristics.
One such heuristic might involve more fine-grained control over poll/epoll
notifications about new data availability in ring buffer. Together with
``BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP``/``BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP`` flags for output/commit/discard
helpers, it allows BPF program a high degree of control and, e.g., more
efficient batched notifications. Default self-balancing strategy, though,
should be adequate for most applications and will work reliable and efficiently
already.
Design and Implementation
-------------------------
This reserve/commit schema allows a natural way for multiple producers, either
on different CPUs or even on the same CPU/in the same BPF program, to reserve
independent records and work with them without blocking other producers. This
means that if BPF program was interruped by another BPF program sharing the
same ring buffer, they will both get a record reserved (provided there is
enough space left) and can work with it and submit it independently. This
applies to NMI context as well, except that due to using a spinlock during
reservation, in NMI context, ``bpf_ringbuf_reserve()`` might fail to get
a lock, in which case reservation will fail even if ring buffer is not full.
The ring buffer itself internally is implemented as a power-of-2 sized
circular buffer, with two logical and ever-increasing counters (which might
wrap around on 32-bit architectures, that's not a problem):
- consumer counter shows up to which logical position consumer consumed the
data;
- producer counter denotes amount of data reserved by all producers.
Each time a record is reserved, producer that "owns" the record will
successfully advance producer counter. At that point, data is still not yet
ready to be consumed, though. Each record has 8 byte header, which contains the
length of reserved record, as well as two extra bits: busy bit to denote that
record is still being worked on, and discard bit, which might be set at commit
time if record is discarded. In the latter case, consumer is supposed to skip
the record and move on to the next one. Record header also encodes record's
relative offset from the beginning of ring buffer data area (in pages). This
allows ``bpf_ringbuf_commit()``/``bpf_ringbuf_discard()`` to accept only the
pointer to the record itself, without requiring also the pointer to ring buffer
itself. Ring buffer memory location will be restored from record metadata
header. This significantly simplifies verifier, as well as improving API
usability.
Producer counter increments are serialized under spinlock, so there is
a strict ordering between reservations. Commits, on the other hand, are
completely lockless and independent. All records become available to consumer
in the order of reservations, but only after all previous records where
already committed. It is thus possible for slow producers to temporarily hold
off submitted records, that were reserved later.
Reservation/commit/consumer protocol is verified by litmus tests in
Documentation/litmus_tests/bpf-rb/_.
One interesting implementation bit, that significantly simplifies (and thus
speeds up as well) implementation of both producers and consumers is how data
area is mapped twice contiguously back-to-back in the virtual memory. This
allows to not take any special measures for samples that have to wrap around
at the end of the circular buffer data area, because the next page after the
last data page would be first data page again, and thus the sample will still
appear completely contiguous in virtual memory. See comment and a simple ASCII
diagram showing this visually in ``bpf_ringbuf_area_alloc()``.
Another feature that distinguishes BPF ringbuf from perf ring buffer is
a self-pacing notifications of new data being availability.
``bpf_ringbuf_commit()`` implementation will send a notification of new record
being available after commit only if consumer has already caught up right up to
the record being committed. If not, consumer still has to catch up and thus
will see new data anyways without needing an extra poll notification.
Benchmarks (see tools/testing/selftests/bpf/benchs/bench_ringbuf.c_) show that
this allows to achieve a very high throughput without having to resort to
tricks like "notify only every Nth sample", which are necessary with perf
buffer. For extreme cases, when BPF program wants more manual control of
notifications, commit/discard/output helpers accept ``BPF_RB_NO_WAKEUP`` and
``BPF_RB_FORCE_WAKEUP`` flags, which give full control over notifications of
data availability, but require extra caution and diligence in using this API.

* Socionext AVE ethernet controller
This describes the devicetree bindings for AVE ethernet controller
implemented on Socionext UniPhier SoCs.
Required properties:
- compatible: Should be
- "socionext,uniphier-pro4-ave4" : for Pro4 SoC
- "socionext,uniphier-pxs2-ave4" : for PXs2 SoC
- "socionext,uniphier-ld11-ave4" : for LD11 SoC
- "socionext,uniphier-ld20-ave4" : for LD20 SoC
- "socionext,uniphier-pxs3-ave4" : for PXs3 SoC
- reg: Address where registers are mapped and size of region.
- interrupts: Should contain the MAC interrupt.
- phy-mode: See ethernet.txt in the same directory. Allow to choose
"rgmii", "rmii", "mii", or "internal" according to the PHY.
The acceptable mode is SoC-dependent.
- phy-handle: Should point to the external phy device.
See ethernet.txt file in the same directory.
- clocks: A phandle to the clock for the MAC.
For Pro4 SoC, that is "socionext,uniphier-pro4-ave4",
another MAC clock, GIO bus clock and PHY clock are also required.
- clock-names: Should contain
- "ether", "ether-gb", "gio", "ether-phy" for Pro4 SoC
- "ether" for others
- resets: A phandle to the reset control for the MAC. For Pro4 SoC,
GIO bus reset is also required.
- reset-names: Should contain
- "ether", "gio" for Pro4 SoC
- "ether" for others
- socionext,syscon-phy-mode: A phandle to syscon with one argument
that configures phy mode. The argument is the ID of MAC instance.
The MAC address will be determined using the optional properties
defined in ethernet.txt.
Required subnode:
- mdio: A container for child nodes representing phy nodes.
See phy.txt in the same directory.
Example:
ether: ethernet@65000000 {
compatible = "socionext,uniphier-ld20-ave4";
reg = <0x65000000 0x8500>;
interrupts = <0 66 4>;

should use "rgmii-id" if internal delays are desired as this may be
changed in future to cause "rgmii" mode to disable delays.

the programmable output impedance to
minimum value (35 ohms).
- ti,max-output-impedance - MAC Interface Impedance control to set
the programmable output impedance to
maximum value (70 ohms).
- ti,dp83867-rxctrl-strap-quirk - This denotes the fact that the
board has RX_DV/RX_CTRL pin strapped in
mode 1 or 2. To ensure PHY operation,
there are specific actions that

for applicable values. The CLK_OUT pin can also
be disabled by this property. When omitted, the
PHY's default will be left as is.
- ti,sgmii-ref-clock-output-enable - This denotes which
SGMII configuration is used (4 or 6-wire modes).
Some MACs work with differential SGMII clock.
See data manual for details.
- ti,fifo-depth - Transmitt FIFO depth- see dt-bindings/net/ti-dp83867.h

the depth can be found in dt-bindings/net/ti-dp83867.h
-rx-fifo-depth - As defined in the ethernet-controller.yaml. Values for
the depth can be found in dt-bindings/net/ti-dp83867.h
Note: ti,min-output-impedance and ti,max-output-impedance are mutually
exclusive. When both properties are present ti,max-output-impedance
takes precedence.

description: |+
The TI AM654x/J721E CPTS module is used to facilitate host control of time
sync operations.
Main features of CPTS module are
- selection of multiple external clock sources
- Software control of time sync events via interrupt or polling
- 64-bit timestamp mode in ns with PPM and nudge adjustment.
- hardware timestamp push inputs (HWx_TS_PUSH)
- timestamp counter compare output (TS_COMP)
- timestamp counter bit output (TS_SYNC)
- periodic Generator function outputs (TS_GENFx)
- Ethernet Enhanced Scheduled Traffic Operations (CPTS_ESTFn) (TSN)
- external hardware timestamp push inputs (HWx_TS_PUSH) timestamping
Depending on integration it enables compliance with the IEEE 1588-2008
standard for a precision clock synchronization protocol, Ethernet Enhanced
Scheduled Traffic Operations (CPTS_ESTFn) and PCIe Subsystem Precision Time
Measurement (PTM).
TI AM654x/J721E SoCs has several similar CPTS modules integrated into the
different parts of the system which could be synchronized with each other
- Main CPTS
- MCU CPSW CPTS with IEEE 1588-2008 support
- PCIe subsystem CPTS for PTM support
Depending on CPTS module integration and when CPTS is integral part of
another module (MCU CPSW for example) "compatible" and "reg" can
be omitted - parent module is fully responsible for CPTS enabling and
configuration.

1. What is 6pack, and what are the advantages to KISS?
======================================================
6pack is a transmission protocol for data exchange between the PC and
the TNC over a serial line. It can be used as an alternative to KISS.
6pack has two major advantages:
- The PC is given full control over the radio
channel. Special control data is exchanged between the PC and the TNC so
that the PC knows at any time if the TNC is receiving data, if a TNC
buffer underrun or overrun has occurred, if the PTT is
set and so on. This control data is processed at a higher priority than
normal data, so a data stream can be interrupted at any time to issue an
important event. This helps to improve the channel access and timing
algorithms as everything is computed in the PC. It would even be possible
to experiment with something completely different from the known CSMA and
important event. This helps to improve the channel access and timing
algorithms as everything is computed in the PC. It would even be possible

CAIF SPI porting
================
CAIF SPI basics
===============
Running CAIF over SPI needs some extra setup, owing to the nature of SPI.
Two extra GPIOs have been added in order to negotiate the transfers
between the master and the slave. The minimum requirement for running
CAIF over SPI is a SPI slave chip and two GPIOs (more details below).
Please note that running as a slave implies that you need to keep up
with the master clock. An overrun or underrun event is fatal.
CAIF SPI framework
==================
To make porting as easy as possible, the CAIF SPI has been divided in
two parts. The first part (called the interface part) deals with all
generic functionality such as length framing, SPI frame negotiation
and SPI frame delivery and transmission. The other part is the CAIF
SPI slave device part, which is the module that you have to write if
you want to run SPI CAIF on a new hardware. This part takes care of
the physical hardware, both with regard to SPI and to GPIOs.
- Implementing a CAIF SPI device:
- Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI slave device:
In order to implement a SPI device you will, as a minimum,
need to implement the following
functions:
::
int (*init_xfer) (struct cfspi_xfer * xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev):
This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface to give
you a chance to set up your hardware to be ready to receive
a stream of data from the master. The xfer structure contains
both physical and logical addresses, as well as the total length
of the transfer in both directions.The dev parameter can be used
to map to different CAIF SPI slave devices.
::
void (*sig_xfer) (bool xfer, struct cfspi_dev *dev):
This function is called by the CAIF SPI interface when the output
(SPI_INT) GPIO needs to change state. The boolean value of the xfer
variable indicates whether the GPIO should be asserted (HIGH) or
deasserted (LOW). The dev parameter can be used to map to different CAIF
SPI slave devices.
- Functionality provided by the CAIF SPI interface:
::
void (*ss_cb) (bool assert, struct cfspi_ifc *ifc);
This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to
signal a change of state of the input GPIO (SS) to the interface.
Only active edges are mandatory to be reported.
This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order
not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer
returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure.
::
void (*xfer_done_cb) (struct cfspi_ifc *ifc);
This function is called by the CAIF SPI slave device in order to
report that a transfer is completed. This function should only be
called once both the transmission and the reception are completed.
This function can be called from IRQ context (recommended in order
not to introduce latency). The ifc parameter should be the pointer
returned from the platform probe function in the SPI device structure.
- Connecting the bits and pieces:
- Filling in the SPI slave device structure:
Connect the necessary callback functions.
Indicate clock speed (used to calculate toggle delays).
Chose a suitable name (helps debugging if you use several CAIF
SPI slave devices).
Assign your private data (can be used to map to your
structure).
- Filling in the SPI slave platform device structure:
Add name of driver to connect to ("cfspi_sspi").
Assign the SPI slave device structure as platform data.
Padding
=======
In order to optimize throughput, a number of SPI padding options are provided.
Padding can be enabled independently for uplink and downlink transfers.
Padding can be enabled for the head, the tail and for the total frame size.
The padding needs to be correctly configured on both sides of the link.
The padding can be changed via module parameters in cfspi_sspi.c or via
the sysfs directory of the cfspi_sspi driver (before device registration).

========================================
The COPS LocalTalk Linux driver (cops.c)
========================================
By Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org>
This driver has two modes and they are: Dayna mode and Tangent mode.
Each mode corresponds with the type of card. It has been found
that there are 2 main types of cards and all other cards are
the same and just have different names or only have minor differences
such as more IO ports. As this driver is tested it will
become more clear exactly what cards are supported.
Right now these cards are known to work with the COPS driver. The
LT-200 cards work in a somewhat more limited capacity than the
DL200 cards, which work very well and are in use by many people.
TANGENT driver mode:
- Tangent ATB-II, Novell NL-1000, Daystar Digital LT-200
DAYNA driver mode:
- Dayna DL2000/DaynaTalk PC (Half Length), COPS LT-95,
- Farallon PhoneNET PC III, Farallon PhoneNET PC II
Other cards possibly supported mode unknown though:
- Dayna DL2000 (Full length)
The COPS driver defaults to using Dayna mode. To change the driver's
mode if you built a driver with dual support use board_type=1 or
board_type=2 for Dayna or Tangent with insmod.
Operation/loading of the driver
===============================
Use modprobe like this: /sbin/modprobe cops.o (IO #) (IRQ #)
If you do not specify any options the driver will try and use the IO = 0x240,
IRQ = 5. As of right now I would only use IRQ 5 for the card, if autoprobing.
To load multiple COPS driver Localtalk cards you can do one of the following::
insmod cops io=0x240 irq=5
insmod -o cops2 cops io=0x260 irq=3
Or in lilo.conf put something like this::
append="ether=5,0x240,lt0 ether=3,0x260,lt1"
Then bring up the interface with ifconfig. It will look something like this::
lt0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-F7-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:600 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
Netatalk Configuration
======================
You will need to configure atalkd with something like the following to make
it work with the cops.c driver.
* For single LTalk card use::
dummy -seed -phase 2 -net 2000 -addr 2000.10 -zone "1033"
lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.50 -zone "1033"
* For multiple cards, Ethernet and LocalTalk::
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 3000 -addr 3000.20 -zone "1033"
lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.50 -zone "1033"
* For multiple LocalTalk cards, and an Ethernet card.
* Order seems to matter here, Ethernet last::
lt0 -seed -phase 1 -net 1000 -addr 1000.10 -zone "LocalTalk1"
lt1 -seed -phase 1 -net 2000 -addr 2000.20 -zone "LocalTalk2"

(1) Special Driver Features
Special Driver Features
=======================
Overriding card settings
The driver allows boot- or load-time overriding of the card's detected IOADDR,
IRQ, and transceiver settings, although this capability shouldn't generally be
needed except to enable full-duplex mode (see below). An example of the syntax
for LILO parameters for doing this:
for LILO parameters for doing this::
ether=10,0x310,3,0x3c509,eth0
ether=10,0x310,3,0x3c509,eth0
This configures the first found 3c509 card for IRQ 10, base I/O 0x310, and
transceiver type 3 (10base2). The flag "0x3c509" must be set to avoid conflicts
with other card types when overriding the I/O address. When the driver is
loaded as a module, only the IRQ may be overridden. For example,
setting two cards to IRQ10 and IRQ11 is done by using the irq module
option:
option::
options 3c509 irq=10,11
(2) Full-duplex mode
Full-duplex mode

The v1.18c driver added support for the 3c509B's full-duplex capabilities.
In order to enable and successfully use full-duplex mode, three conditions
must be met:

Full-duplex mode can be enabled using 'ethtool'.
/////Extremely important caution concerning full-duplex mode/////
Understand that the 3c509B's hardware's full-duplex support is much more
limited than that provide by more modern network interface cards. Although
at the physical layer of the network it fully supports full-duplex operation,
the card was designed before the current Ethernet auto-negotiation (N-way)
spec was written. This means that the 3c509B family ***cannot and will not
auto-negotiate a full-duplex connection with its link partner under any
circumstances, no matter how it is initialized***. If the full-duplex mode
of the 3c509B is enabled, its link partner will very likely need to be
independently _forced_ into full-duplex mode as well; otherwise various nasty
failures will occur - at the very least, you'll see massive numbers of packet
collisions. This is one of very rare circumstances where disabling auto-
negotiation and forcing the duplex mode of a network interface card or switch
would ever be necessary or desirable.

Currently, NIC does not support RSS for fragmented IP packets, which leads to
incorrect working of RSS for fragmented UDP traffic. To disable RSS for UDP the

To eliminate the TCP retransmits, set smp_affinity on the particular

It is highly suggested that you do not run the irqbalance daemon on your
system, as this will change any smp_affinity setting you have applied.

IEEE 802.3 standards and support half or full-duplex operation in ISA bus
computers on 10 Mbps Ethernet networks. The adapters are designed for operation
in 16-bit ISA or EISA bus expansion slots and are available in
10BaseT-only or 3-media configurations (10BaseT, 10Base2, and AUI for 10Base-5
or fiber networks).
CS8920-based adapters are similar to the CS8900-based adapter with additional
features for Plug and Play (PnP) support and Wakeup Frame recognition. As
such, the configuration procedures differ somewhat between the two types of
adapters. Refer to the "Adapter Configuration" section for details on

3.0 LOADING THE DRIVER AS A MODULE
===============================================================================
3. Loading the Driver as a Module
=================================
If the driver is compiled as a loadable module, you can load the driver module
with the 'modprobe' command. Many of the adapter's configuration parameters can
be specified as command-line arguments to the load command. This facility
provides a means to override the EEPROM's settings or for interface
with the 'modprobe' command. Many of the adapter's configuration parameters can
be specified as command-line arguments to the load command. This facility
provides a means to override the EEPROM's settings or for interface
configuration when an EEPROM is not used.
Example:
Example::
insmod cs89x0.o io=0x200 irq=0xA media=aui
This example loads the module and configures the adapter to use an IO port base
address of 200h, interrupt 10, and use the AUI media connection. The following
configuration options are available on the command line:
configuration options are available on the command line::
* io=### - specify IO address (200h-360h)
* irq=## - specify interrupt level
* use_dma=1 - Enable DMA

Rx DMA only)
* dmasize=# (16 or 64) - DMA size 16K or 64K. Default value is set to 16.

**Notes:**
a) If an EEPROM is present, any specified command-line parameter
will override the corresponding configuration value stored in
EEPROM.
b) The "io" parameter must be specified on the command-line.
b) The "io" parameter must be specified on the command-line.
c) The driver's hardware probe routine is designed to avoid
writing to I/O space until it knows that there is a cs89x0
card at the written addresses. This could cause problems
with device probing. To avoid this behaviour, add one
to the `io=' module parameter. This doesn't actually change
to the ``io=`` module parameter. This doesn't actually change
the I/O address, but it is a flag to tell the driver
to partially initialise the hardware before trying to
identify the card. This could be dangerous if you are
not sure that there is a cs89x0 card at the provided address.
For example, to scan for an adapter located at IO base 0x300,
specify an IO address of 0x301.

4.0 COMPILING THE DRIVER
===============================================================================
4. Compiling the Driver
=======================
The cs89x0 driver can be compiled directly into the kernel or compiled into
a loadable device driver module.
Just use the standard way to configure the driver and compile the Kernel.
4.1 COMPILING THE DRIVER AS A LOADABLE MODULE
To compile the driver into a loadable module, use the following command
(single command line, without quotes):
"gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -I/usr/src/linux/net/inet -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DMODULE -DCONFIG_MODVERSIONS
-c cs89x0.c"
4.2 COMPILING THE DRIVER TO SUPPORT MEMORY MODE
Support for memory mode was not carried over into the 2.3 series kernels.
4.3 COMPILING THE DRIVER TO SUPPORT Rx DMA
4.1. Compiling the Driver to Support Rx DMA
-------------------------------------------
The compile-time optionality for DMA was removed in the 2.3 kernel
series. DMA support is now unconditionally part of the driver. It is
enabled by the 'use_dma=1' module option.

The Diagnostic Network Test verifies a working network connection by
transferring data between two CS8900/20 adapters installed in different PCs
on the same network. (Note: the diagnostic network test should not be run

This test requires that each of the two PCs have a CS8900/20-based adapter
installed and have the CS8900/20 Setup Utility running. The first PC is
configured as a Responder and the other PC is configured as an Initiator.
Once the Initiator is started, it sends data frames to the Responder which
installed and have the CS8900/20 Setup Utility running. The first PC is
configured as a Responder and the other PC is configured as an Initiator.
Once the Initiator is started, it sends data frames to the Responder which
returns the frames to the Initiator.

period of time. For higher power savings, the interval between last
packet processed to sleep is shorter and the sleep period is longer.

must buffer packets at the AP until the station wakes up and requests
any buffered packets. If you have an AP that does not correctly support
the PSP protocol you may experience packet loss or very poor performance

Neterion's (Formerly S2io) Xframe I/II PCI-X 10GbE driver
=========================================================
Release notes for Neterion's (Formerly S2io) Xframe I/II PCI-X 10GbE driver.
.. Contents
- 1. Introduction
- 2. Identifying the adapter/interface
- 3. Features supported
- 4. Command line parameters
- 5. Performance suggestions
- 6. Available Downloads
1. Introduction
===============
This Linux driver supports Neterion's Xframe I PCI-X 1.0 and
Xframe II PCI-X 2.0 adapters. It supports several features
such as jumbo frames, MSI/MSI-X, checksum offloads, TSO, UFO and so on.
See below for complete list of features.
All features are supported for both IPv4 and IPv6.
2. Identifying the adapter/interface
====================================
a. Insert the adapter(s) in your system.
b. Build and load driver::
# insmod s2io.ko
c. View log messages::
# dmesg | tail -40
You will see messages similar to::
eth3: Neterion Xframe I 10GbE adapter (rev 3), Version 2.0.9.1, Intr type INTA
eth4: Neterion Xframe II 10GbE adapter (rev 2), Version 2.0.9.1, Intr type INTA
eth4: Device is on 64 bit 133MHz PCIX(M1) bus
The above messages identify the adapter type(Xframe I/II), adapter revision,
driver version, interface name(eth3, eth4), Interrupt type(INTA, MSI, MSI-X).
In case of Xframe II, the PCI/PCI-X bus width and frequency are displayed
as well.
To associate an interface with a physical adapter use "ethtool -p <ethX>".
The corresponding adapter's LED will blink multiple times.
3. Features supported
=====================
a. Jumbo frames. Xframe I/II supports MTU up to 9600 bytes,
modifiable using ip command.
b. Offloads. Supports checksum offload(TCP/UDP/IP) on transmit
and receive, TSO.
c. Multi-buffer receive mode. Scattering of packet across multiple
buffers. Currently driver supports 2-buffer mode which yields
significant performance improvement on certain platforms(SGI Altix,
IBM xSeries).
d. MSI/MSI-X. Can be enabled on platforms which support this feature
(IA64, Xeon) resulting in noticeable performance improvement(up to 7%
on certain platforms).
e. Statistics. Comprehensive MAC-level and software statistics displayed
using "ethtool -S" option.
f. Multi-FIFO/Ring. Supports up to 8 transmit queues and receive rings,
with multiple steering options.
4. Command line parameters
==========================
a. tx_fifo_num
Number of transmit queues
Valid range: 1-8
Default: 1
b. rx_ring_num
Number of receive rings
Valid range: 1-8
Default: 1
c. tx_fifo_len
Size of each transmit queue
Valid range: Total length of all queues should not exceed 8192
Default: 4096
d. rx_ring_sz
Size of each receive ring(in 4K blocks)
Valid range: Limited by memory on system
Default: 30
e. intr_type
Specifies interrupt type. Possible values 0(INTA), 2(MSI-X)
Valid values: 0, 2
Default: 2
5. Performance suggestions
==========================
General:
a. Set MTU to maximum(9000 for switch setup, 9600 in back-to-back configuration)
b. Set TCP windows size to optimal value.
For instance, for MTU=1500 a value of 210K has been observed to result in
good performance::
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="210000 210000 210000"
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="210000 210000 210000"
For MTU=9000, TCP window size of 10 MB is recommended::
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="10000000 10000000 10000000"
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="10000000 10000000 10000000"
Transmit performance:
a. By default, the driver respects BIOS settings for PCI bus parameters.
However, you may want to experiment with PCI bus parameters
max-split-transactions(MOST) and MMRBC (use setpci command).
A MOST value of 2 has been found optimal for Opterons and 3 for Itanium.
It could be different for your hardware.
Set MMRBC to 4K**.
For example you can set
For opteron::
#setpci -d 17d5:* 62=1d
For Itanium::
#setpci -d 17d5:* 62=3d
For detailed description of the PCI registers, please see Xframe User Guide.
b. Ensure Transmit Checksum offload is enabled. Use ethtool to set/verify this
parameter.
c. Turn on TSO(using "ethtool -K")::
# ethtool -K <ethX> tso on
Receive performance:
a. By default, the driver respects BIOS settings for PCI bus parameters.
However, you may want to set PCI latency timer to 248::
#setpci -d 17d5:* LATENCY_TIMER=f8
For detailed description of the PCI registers, please see Xframe User Guide.
b. Use 2-buffer mode. This results in large performance boost on
certain platforms(eg. SGI Altix, IBM xSeries).
c. Ensure Receive Checksum offload is enabled. Use "ethtool -K ethX" command to
set/verify this option.
d. Enable NAPI feature(in kernel configuration Device Drivers ---> Network
device support ---> Ethernet (10000 Mbit) ---> S2IO 10Gbe Xframe NIC) to
bring down CPU utilization.
.. note::
For AMD opteron platforms with 8131 chipset, MMRBC=1 and MOST=1 are
recommended as safe parameters.

Enabling the driver
===================
The driver is enabled via the standard kernel configuration system,
using the make command::
make oldconfig/menuconfig/etc.
The driver is located in the menu structure at:
-> Device Drivers
-> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
-> Ethernet driver support
-> Pensando devices
-> Pensando Ethernet IONIC Support
Configuring the Driver
======================
MTU
---
Jumbo frame support is available with a maximim size of 9194 bytes.
Interrupt coalescing
--------------------
Interrupt coalescing can be configured by changing the rx-usecs value with
the "ethtool -C" command. The rx-usecs range is 0-190. The tx-usecs value
reflects the rx-usecs value as they are tied together on the same interrupt.
SR-IOV
------
Minimal SR-IOV support is currently offered and can be enabled by setting
the sysfs 'sriov_numvfs' value, if supported by your particular firmware
configuration.
Statistics
==========
Basic hardware stats
--------------------
The commands ``netstat -i``, ``ip -s link show``, and ``ifconfig`` show
a limited set of statistics taken directly from firmware. For example::
$ ip -s link show enp181s0

The statistics shown from the ``ethtool -S`` command includes a combination of
driver counters and firmware counters, including port and queue specific values.
The driver values are counters computed by the driver, and the firmware values
are gathered by the firmware from the port hardware and passed through the
driver with no further interpretation.

SB100 device driver
===================
sb1000 is a module network device driver for the General Instrument (also known
as NextLevel) SURFboard1000 internal cable modem board. This is an ISA card
which is used by a number of cable TV companies to provide cable modem access.
It's a one-way downstream-only cable modem, meaning that your upstream net link
is provided by your regular phone modem.
This driver was written by Franco Venturi <fventuri@mediaone.net>. He deserves
a great deal of thanks for this wonderful piece of code!
Needed tools
============
Support for this device is now a part of the standard Linux kernel. The
driver source code file is drivers/net/sb1000.c. In addition to this
you will need:
1. The "cmconfig" program. This is a utility which supplements "ifconfig"
to configure the cable modem and network interface (usually called "cm0");
2. Several PPP scripts which live in /etc/ppp to make connecting via your
cable modem easy.
These utilities can be obtained from:
http://www.jacksonville.net/~fventuri/
in Franco's original source code distribution .tar.gz file. Support for
the sb1000 driver can be found at:
- http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://home.adelphia.net/~siglercm/sb1000.html
- http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://linuxpower.cx/~cable/
along with these utilities.
3. The standard isapnp tools. These are necessary to configure your SB1000
card at boot time (or afterwards by hand) since it's a PnP card.
If you don't have these installed as a standard part of your Linux
distribution, you can find them at:
http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/
or check your Linux distribution binary CD or their web site. For help with
isapnp, pnpdump, or /etc/isapnp.conf, go to:
http://www.roestock.demon.co.uk/isapnptools/isapnpfaq.html
Using the driver
================
To make the SB1000 card work, follow these steps:
1. Run ``make config``, or ``make menuconfig``, or ``make xconfig``, whichever
you prefer, in the top kernel tree directory to set up your kernel
configuration. Make sure to say "Y" to "Prompt for development drivers"
and to say "M" to the sb1000 driver. Also say "Y" or "M" to all the standard
networking questions to get TCP/IP and PPP networking support.
2. **BEFORE** you build the kernel, edit drivers/net/sb1000.c. Make sure
to redefine the value of READ_DATA_PORT to match the I/O address used
by isapnp to access your PnP cards. This is the value of READPORT in
/etc/isapnp.conf or given by the output of pnpdump.
3. Build and install the kernel and modules as usual.
4. Boot your new kernel following the usual procedures.
5. Set up to configure the new SB1000 PnP card by capturing the output
of "pnpdump" to a file and editing this file to set the correct I/O ports,
IRQ, and DMA settings for all your PnP cards. Make sure none of the settings
conflict with one another. Then test this configuration by running the
"isapnp" command with your new config file as the input. Check for
errors and fix as necessary. (As an aside, I use I/O ports 0x110 and
0x310 and IRQ 11 for my SB1000 card and these work well for me. YMMV.)
Then save the finished config file as /etc/isapnp.conf for proper
configuration on subsequent reboots.
6. Download the original file sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz from Franco's site or one of
the others referenced above. As root, unpack it into a temporary directory
and do a ``make cmconfig`` and then ``install -c cmconfig /usr/local/sbin``.
Don't do ``make install`` because it expects to find all the utilities built
and ready for installation, not just cmconfig.
7. As root, copy all the files under the ppp/ subdirectory in Franco's
tar file into /etc/ppp, being careful not to overwrite any files that are
already in there. Then modify ppp@gi-on to set the correct login name,
phone number, and frequency for the cable modem. Also edit pap-secrets
to specify your login name and password and any site-specific information
you need.
8. Be sure to modify /etc/ppp/firewall to use ipchains instead of
the older ipfwadm commands from the 2.0.x kernels. There's a neat utility to
convert ipfwadm commands to ipchains commands:
http://users.dhp.com/~whisper/ipfwadm2ipchains/
You may also wish to modify the firewall script to implement a different
firewalling scheme.
9. Start the PPP connection via the script /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on. You must be
root to do this. It's better to use a utility like sudo to execute
frequently used commands like this with root permissions if possible. If you
connect successfully the cable modem interface will come up and you'll see a
driver message like this at the console::
cm0: sb1000 at (0x110,0x310), csn 1, S/N 0x2a0d16d8, IRQ 11.
sb1000.c:v1.1.2 6/01/98 (fventuri@mediaone.net)
The "ifconfig" command should show two new interfaces, ppp0 and cm0.
The command "cmconfig cm0" will give you information about the cable modem
interface.
10. Try pinging a site via ``ping -c 5 www.yahoo.com``, for example. You should
see packets received.
11. If you can't get site names (like www.yahoo.com) to resolve into
IP addresses (like 204.71.200.67), be sure your /etc/resolv.conf file
has no syntax errors and has the right nameserver IP addresses in it.
If this doesn't help, try something like ``ping -c 5 204.71.200.67`` to
see if the networking is running but the DNS resolution is where the
problem lies.
12. If you still have problems, go to the support web sites mentioned above
and read the information and documentation there.
Common problems
===============
1. Packets go out on the ppp0 interface but don't come back on the cm0
interface. It looks like I'm connected but I can't even ping any
numerical IP addresses. (This happens predominantly on Debian systems due
to a default boot-time configuration script.)
Solution
As root ``echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cm0/rp_filter`` so it
can share the same IP address as the ppp0 interface. Note that this
command should probably be added to the /etc/ppp/cablemodem script
*right*between* the "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/cmconfig" commands.
You may need to do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/rp_filter as well.
If you do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter on each reboot
(in rc.local or some such) then any interfaces can share the same IP
addresses.
2. I get "unresolved symbol" error messages on executing ``insmod sb1000.o``.
Solution
You probably have a non-matching kernel source tree and
/usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm header files. Make sure you
install the correct versions of the header files in these two directories.
Then rebuild and reinstall the kernel.
3. When isapnp runs it reports an error, and my SB1000 card isn't working.
Solution
There's a problem with later versions of isapnp using the "(CHECK)"
option in the lines that allocate the two I/O addresses for the SB1000 card.
This first popped up on RH 6.0. Delete "(CHECK)" for the SB1000 I/O addresses.
Make sure they don't conflict with any other pieces of hardware first! Then
rerun isapnp and go from there.
4. I can't execute the /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on file.
Solution
As root do ``chmod ug+x /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on``.
5. The firewall script isn't working (with 2.2.x and higher kernels).
Solution
Use the ipfwadm2ipchains script referenced above to convert the
/etc/ppp/firewall script from the deprecated ipfwadm commands to ipchains.
6. I'm getting *tons* of firewall deny messages in the /var/kern.log,
/var/messages, and/or /var/syslog files, and they're filling up my /var
partition!!!
Solution
First, tell your ISP that you're receiving DoS (Denial of Service)
and/or portscanning (UDP connection attempts) attacks! Look over the deny
messages to figure out what the attack is and where it's coming from. Next,
edit /etc/ppp/cablemodem and make sure the ",nobroadcast" option is turned on
to the "cmconfig" command (uncomment that line). If you're not receiving these
denied packets on your broadcast interface (IP address xxx.yyy.zzz.255
typically), then someone is attacking your machine in particular. Be careful
out there....
7. Everything seems to work fine but my computer locks up after a while
(and typically during a lengthy download through the cable modem)!
Solution
You may need to add a short delay in the driver to 'slow down' the
SURFboard because your PC might not be able to keep up with the transfer rate
of the SB1000. To do this, it's probably best to download Franco's
sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz archive and build and install sb1000.o manually. You'll
want to edit the 'Makefile' and look for the 'SB1000_DELAY'
define. Uncomment those 'CFLAGS' lines (and comment out the default ones)
and try setting the delay to something like 60 microseconds with:
'-DSB1000_DELAY=60'. Then do ``make`` and as root ``make install`` and try
it out. If it still doesn't work or you like playing with the driver, you may
try other numbers. Remember though that the higher the delay, the slower the
driver (which slows down the rest of the PC too when it is actively
used). Thanks to Ed Daiga for this tip!

6.) Download the original file sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz from Franco's site or one of
the others referenced above. As root, unpack it into a temporary directory and
do a `make cmconfig' and then `install -c cmconfig /usr/local/sbin'. Don't do
`make install' because it expects to find all the utilities built and ready for
installation, not just cmconfig.
7.) As root, copy all the files under the ppp/ subdirectory in Franco's
tar file into /etc/ppp, being careful not to overwrite any files that are
already in there. Then modify ppp@gi-on to set the correct login name,
phone number, and frequency for the cable modem. Also edit pap-secrets
to specify your login name and password and any site-specific information
you need.
8.) Be sure to modify /etc/ppp/firewall to use ipchains instead of
the older ipfwadm commands from the 2.0.x kernels. There's a neat utility to
convert ipfwadm commands to ipchains commands:
http://users.dhp.com/~whisper/ipfwadm2ipchains/
You may also wish to modify the firewall script to implement a different
firewalling scheme.
9.) Start the PPP connection via the script /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on. You must be
root to do this. It's better to use a utility like sudo to execute
frequently used commands like this with root permissions if possible. If you
connect successfully the cable modem interface will come up and you'll see a
driver message like this at the console:
cm0: sb1000 at (0x110,0x310), csn 1, S/N 0x2a0d16d8, IRQ 11.
sb1000.c:v1.1.2 6/01/98 (fventuri@mediaone.net)
The "ifconfig" command should show two new interfaces, ppp0 and cm0.
The command "cmconfig cm0" will give you information about the cable modem
interface.
10.) Try pinging a site via `ping -c 5 www.yahoo.com', for example. You should
see packets received.
11.) If you can't get site names (like www.yahoo.com) to resolve into
IP addresses (like 204.71.200.67), be sure your /etc/resolv.conf file
has no syntax errors and has the right nameserver IP addresses in it.
If this doesn't help, try something like `ping -c 5 204.71.200.67' to
see if the networking is running but the DNS resolution is where the
problem lies.
12.) If you still have problems, go to the support web sites mentioned above
and read the information and documentation there.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common problems:
1.) Packets go out on the ppp0 interface but don't come back on the cm0
interface. It looks like I'm connected but I can't even ping any
numerical IP addresses. (This happens predominantly on Debian systems due
to a default boot-time configuration script.)
Solution -- As root `echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/cm0/rp_filter' so it
can share the same IP address as the ppp0 interface. Note that this
command should probably be added to the /etc/ppp/cablemodem script
*right*between* the "/sbin/ifconfig" and "/sbin/cmconfig" commands.
You may need to do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ppp0/rp_filter as well.
If you do this to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter on each reboot
(in rc.local or some such) then any interfaces can share the same IP
addresses.
2.) I get "unresolved symbol" error messages on executing `insmod sb1000.o'.
Solution -- You probably have a non-matching kernel source tree and
/usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm header files. Make sure you
install the correct versions of the header files in these two directories.
Then rebuild and reinstall the kernel.
3.) When isapnp runs it reports an error, and my SB1000 card isn't working.
Solution -- There's a problem with later versions of isapnp using the "(CHECK)"
option in the lines that allocate the two I/O addresses for the SB1000 card.
This first popped up on RH 6.0. Delete "(CHECK)" for the SB1000 I/O addresses.
Make sure they don't conflict with any other pieces of hardware first! Then
rerun isapnp and go from there.
4.) I can't execute the /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on file.
Solution -- As root do `chmod ug+x /etc/ppp/ppp@gi-on'.
5.) The firewall script isn't working (with 2.2.x and higher kernels).
Solution -- Use the ipfwadm2ipchains script referenced above to convert the
/etc/ppp/firewall script from the deprecated ipfwadm commands to ipchains.
6.) I'm getting *tons* of firewall deny messages in the /var/kern.log,
/var/messages, and/or /var/syslog files, and they're filling up my /var
partition!!!
Solution -- First, tell your ISP that you're receiving DoS (Denial of Service)
and/or portscanning (UDP connection attempts) attacks! Look over the deny
messages to figure out what the attack is and where it's coming from. Next,
edit /etc/ppp/cablemodem and make sure the ",nobroadcast" option is turned on
to the "cmconfig" command (uncomment that line). If you're not receiving these
denied packets on your broadcast interface (IP address xxx.yyy.zzz.255
typically), then someone is attacking your machine in particular. Be careful
out there....
7.) Everything seems to work fine but my computer locks up after a while
(and typically during a lengthy download through the cable modem)!
Solution -- You may need to add a short delay in the driver to 'slow down' the
SURFboard because your PC might not be able to keep up with the transfer rate
of the SB1000. To do this, it's probably best to download Franco's
sb1000-1.1.2.tar.gz archive and build and install sb1000.o manually. You'll
want to edit the 'Makefile' and look for the 'SB1000_DELAY'
define. Uncomment those 'CFLAGS' lines (and comment out the default ones)
and try setting the delay to something like 60 microseconds with:
'-DSB1000_DELAY=60'. Then do `make' and as root `make install' and try
it out. If it still doesn't work or you like playing with the driver, you may
try other numbers. Remember though that the higher the delay, the slower the
driver (which slows down the rest of the PC too when it is actively
used). Thanks to Ed Daiga for this tip!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credits: This README came from Franco Venturi's original README file which is
still supplied with his driver .tar.gz archive. I and all other sb1000 users
owe Franco a tremendous "Thank you!" Additional thanks goes to Carl Patten
and Ralph Bonnell who are now managing the Linux SB1000 web site, and to
the SB1000 users who reported and helped debug the common problems listed
above.

This file contains the instructions and caveats for my SMC9xxx driver. You
should not be using the driver without reading this file.
Things to note about installation:
1. The driver should work on all kernels from 1.2.13 until 1.3.71.
(A kernel patch is supplied for 1.3.71 )
2. If you include this into the kernel, you might need to change some
options, such as for forcing IRQ.
3. To compile as a module, run 'make'.
Make will give you the appropriate options for various kernel support.
4. Loading the driver as a module::
use: insmod smc9194.o
optional parameters:
io=xxxx : your base address
irq=xx : your irq
ifport=x : 0 for whatever is default
1 for twisted pair
2 for AUI ( or BNC on some cards )

Texas Instruments CPSW ethernet driver
======================================
Multiqueue & CBS & MQPRIO
=========================
The cpsw has 3 CBS shapers for each external ports. This document
describes MQPRIO and CBS Qdisc offload configuration for cpsw driver
based on examples. It potentially can be used in audio video bridging
(AVB) and time sensitive networking (TSN).
The following examples were tested on AM572x EVM and BBB boards.
Test setup
==========
Under consideration two examples with AM572x EVM running cpsw driver
in dual_emac mode.
Several prerequisites:
- TX queues must be rated starting from txq0 that has highest priority
- Traffic classes are used starting from 0, that has highest priority
- CBS shapers should be used with rated queues
- The bandwidth for CBS shapers has to be set a little bit more then
potential incoming rate, thus, rate of all incoming tx queues has
to be a little less
- Real rates can differ, due to discreetness
- Map skb-priority to txq is not enough, also skb-priority to l2 prio
map has to be created with ip or vconfig tool
- Any l2/socket prio (0 - 7) for classes can be used, but for
simplicity default values are used: 3 and 2
- only 2 classes tested: A and B, but checked and can work with more,
maximum allowed 4, but only for 3 rate can be set.
Test setup for examples

* Texas Instruments CPSW ethernet driver
Multiqueue & CBS & MQPRIO
=====================================================================
=====================================================================
The cpsw has 3 CBS shapers for each external ports. This document
describes MQPRIO and CBS Qdisc offload configuration for cpsw driver
based on examples. It potentially can be used in audio video bridging
(AVB) and time sensitive networking (TSN).
The following examples were tested on AM572x EVM and BBB boards.
Test setup
==========
Under consideration two examples with AM572x EVM running cpsw driver
in dual_emac mode.
Several prerequisites:
- TX queues must be rated starting from txq0 that has highest priority
- Traffic classes are used starting from 0, that has highest priority
- CBS shapers should be used with rated queues
- The bandwidth for CBS shapers has to be set a little bit more then
potential incoming rate, thus, rate of all incoming tx queues has
to be a little less
- Real rates can differ, due to discreetness
- Map skb-priority to txq is not enough, also skb-priority to l2 prio
map has to be created with ip or vconfig tool
- Any l2/socket prio (0 - 7) for classes can be used, but for
simplicity default values are used: 3 and 2
- only 2 classes tested: A and B, but checked and can work with more,
maximum allowed 4, but only for 3 rate can be set.
Test setup for examples

1. You can append debug=x to the end of the insmod line to get
debug messages, where x is a bit field where the bits mean
debug messages, where x is a bit field where the bits mean
the following:

0x01 Turn on general debugging messages.
0x02 Turn on receive debugging messages.
0x04 Turn on transmit debugging messages.
0x08 Turn on list debugging messages.
==== =====================================
2. You can append aui=1 to the end of the insmod line to cause
the adapter to use the AUI interface instead of the 10 Base T
interface. This is also what to do if you want to use the BNC
the adapter to use the AUI interface instead of the 10 Base T
interface. This is also what to do if you want to use the BNC
connector on a TLAN based device. (Setting this option on a
device that does not have an AUI/BNC connector will probably
cause it to not function correctly.)

5. You have to use speed=X duplex=Y together now. If you just
do "insmod tlan.o speed=100" the driver will do Auto-Neg.
To force a 10Mbps Half-Duplex link do "insmod tlan.o speed=10
To force a 10Mbps Half-Duplex link do "insmod tlan.o speed=10

6. If the driver is built into the kernel, you can use the 3rd
and 4th parameters to set aui and debug respectively. For
example:
example::
ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0
ether=0,0,0x1,0x7,eth0
This sets aui to 0x1 and debug to 0x7, assuming eth0 is a
supported TLAN device.
The bits in the third byte are assigned as follows:
0x01 = aui
0x02 = use half duplex
0x04 = use full duplex
0x08 = use 10BaseT
0x10 = use 100BaseTx

speeds with kernel-parameters.

ether=0,0,0x12,0,eth0 will force link to 100Mbps Half-Duplex.
7. If you have more than one tlan adapter in your system, you can
use the above options on a per adapter basis. To force a 100Mbit/HD
link with your eth1 adapter use:
insmod tlan speed=0,100 duplex=0,1
link with your eth1 adapter use::
insmod tlan speed=0,100 duplex=0,1
Now eth0 will use auto-neg and eth1 will be forced to 100Mbit/HD.

best_effort_vlan_filtering
[DEVICE, DRIVER-SPECIFIC]
Allow plain ETH_P_8021Q headers to be used as DSA tags.
Benefits:
- Can terminate untagged traffic over switch net
devices even when enslaved to a bridge with
vlan_filtering=1.
- Can terminate VLAN-tagged traffic over switch net
devices even when enslaved to a bridge with
vlan_filtering=1, with some constraints (no more than
7 non-pvid VLANs per user port).
- Can do QoS based on VLAN PCP and VLAN membership
admission control for autonomously forwarded frames
(regardless of whether they can be terminated on the
CPU or not).
Drawbacks:
- User cannot use VLANs in range 1024-3071. If the
switch receives frames with such VIDs, it will
misinterpret them as DSA tags.

Traffic support
===============
The switches do not support switch tagging in hardware. But they do support
customizing the TPID by which VLAN traffic is identified as such. The switch
driver is leveraging ``CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q`` by requesting that special
VLANs (with a custom TPID of ``ETH_P_EDSA`` instead of ``ETH_P_8021Q``) are
installed on its ports when not in ``vlan_filtering`` mode. This does not
interfere with the reception and transmission of real 802.1Q-tagged traffic,
because the switch does no longer parse those packets as VLAN after the TPID
change.
The TPID is restored when ``vlan_filtering`` is requested by the user through
the bridge layer, and general IP termination becomes no longer possible through
the switch netdevices in this mode.
The switches have two programmable filters for link-local destination MACs.
The switches do not have hardware support for DSA tags, except for "slow
protocols" for switch control as STP and PTP. For these, the switches have two
programmable filters for link-local destination MACs.
These are used to trap BPDUs and PTP traffic to the master netdevice, and are
further used to support STP and 1588 ordinary clock/boundary clock
functionality.
functionality. For frames trapped to the CPU, source port and switch ID
information is encoded by the hardware into the frames.
The following traffic modes are supported over the switch netdevices:
But by leveraging ``CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q`` (a software-defined DSA tagging
format based on VLANs), general-purpose traffic termination through the network
stack can be supported under certain circumstances.
+--------------------+------------+------------------+------------------+
| | Standalone | Bridged with | Bridged with |
| | ports | vlan_filtering 0 | vlan_filtering 1 |
+====================+============+==================+==================+

+--------------------+------------+------------------+------------------+
| Management traffic | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| (BPDU, PTP) | | | |
+--------------------+------------+------------------+------------------+
Depending on VLAN awareness state, the following operating modes are possible
with the switch:
- Mode 1 (VLAN-unaware): a port is in this mode when it is used as a standalone
net device, or when it is enslaved to a bridge with ``vlan_filtering=0``.
- Mode 2 (fully VLAN-aware): a port is in this mode when it is enslaved to a
bridge with ``vlan_filtering=1``. Access to the entire VLAN range is given to
the user through ``bridge vlan`` commands, but general-purpose (anything
other than STP, PTP etc) traffic termination is not possible through the
switch net devices. The other packets can be still by user space processed
through the DSA master interface (similar to ``DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE``).
- Mode 3 (best-effort VLAN-aware): a port is in this mode when enslaved to a
bridge with ``vlan_filtering=1``, and the devlink property of its parent
switch named ``best_effort_vlan_filtering`` is set to ``true``. When
configured like this, the range of usable VIDs is reduced (0 to 1023 and 3072
to 4094), so is the number of usable VIDs (maximum of 7 non-pvid VLANs per
port*), and shared VLAN learning is performed (FDB lookup is done only by
DMAC, not also by VID).
To summarize, in each mode, the following types of traffic are supported over
the switch net devices:
+-------------+-----------+--------------+------------+
| | Mode 1 | Mode 2 | Mode 3 |
+=============+===========+==============+============+
| Regular | Yes | No | Yes |

\* "maximum of 7 non-pvid VLANs per port": Decoding VLAN-tagged packets on the
CPU in mode 3 is possible through VLAN retagging of packets that go from the
switch to the CPU. In cross-chip topologies, the port that goes to the CPU
might also go to other switches. In that case, those other switches will see
only a retagged packet (which only has meaning for the CPU). So if they are
interested in this VLAN, they need to apply retagging in the reverse direction,
to recover the original value from it. This consumes extra hardware resources
for this switch. There is a maximum of 32 entries in the Retagging Table of
each switch device.
As an example, consider this cross-chip topology::

To reach the CPU, SJA1105 switch 1 (spi/spi2.1) uses the same port as is uses
to reach SJA1105 switch 2 (spi/spi2.2), which would be port 4 (not drawn).

SJA1105 switch 1 consumes 1 retagging entry for each VLAN on each user port
towards the CPU. It also consumes 1 retagging entry for each non-pvid VLAN that
it is also interested in, which is configured on any port of any neighbor
switch.
In this case, SJA1105 switch 1 consumes a total of 11 retagging entries, as
follows:
- 8 retagging entries for VLANs 1 and 100 installed on its user ports
(``sw1p0`` - ``sw1p3``)
- 3 retagging entries for VLAN 100 installed on the user ports of SJA1105
switch 2 (``sw2p0`` - ``sw2p2``), because it also has ports that are
interested in it. The VLAN 1 is a pvid on SJA1105 switch 2 and does not need
reverse retagging.
SJA1105 switch 2 also consumes 11 retagging entries, but organized as follows:
- 7 retagging entries for the bridge VLANs on its user ports (``sw2p0`` -
``sw2p3``).
- 4 retagging entries for VLAN 100 installed on the user ports of SJA1105
switch 1 (``sw1p0`` - ``sw1p3``).

Routing actions (redirect, trap, drop)
--------------------------------------
The switch is able to offload flow-based redirection of packets to a set of
destination ports specified by the user. Internally, this is implemented by
making use of Virtual Links, a TTEthernet concept.
The driver supports 2 types of keys for Virtual Links:
- VLAN-aware virtual links: these match on destination MAC address, VLAN ID and
VLAN PCP.
- VLAN-unaware virtual links: these match on destination MAC address only.
The VLAN awareness state of the bridge (vlan_filtering) cannot be changed while
there are virtual link rules installed.
Composing multiple actions inside the same rule is supported. When only routing
actions are requested, the driver creates a "non-critical" virtual link. When
the action list also contains tc-gate (more details below), the virtual link
becomes "time-critical" (draws frame buffers from a reserved memory partition,
etc).
The 3 routing actions that are supported are "trap", "drop" and "redirect".
Example 1: send frames received on swp2 with a DA of 42:be:24:9b:76:20 to the
CPU and to swp3. This type of key (DA only) when the port's VLAN awareness
state is off::
tc qdisc add dev swp2 clsact
tc filter add dev swp2 ingress flower skip_sw dst_mac 42:be:24:9b:76:20 \
action mirred egress redirect dev swp3 \
action trap
Example 2: drop frames received on swp2 with a DA of 42:be:24:9b:76:20, a VID
of 100 and a PCP of 0::
tc filter add dev swp2 ingress protocol 802.1Q flower skip_sw \
dst_mac 42:be:24:9b:76:20 vlan_id 100 vlan_prio 0 action drop
Time-based ingress policing
---------------------------
The TTEthernet hardware abilities of the switch can be constrained to act
similarly to the Per-Stream Filtering and Policing (PSFP) clause specified in
IEEE 802.1Q-2018 (formerly 802.1Qci). This means it can be used to perform
tight timing-based admission control for up to 1024 flows (identified by a
tuple composed of destination MAC address, VLAN ID and VLAN PCP). Packets which
are received outside their expected reception window are dropped.
This capability can be managed through the offload of the tc-gate action. As
routing actions are intrinsic to virtual links in TTEthernet (which performs
explicit routing of time-critical traffic and does not leave that in the hands
of the FDB, flooding etc), the tc-gate action may never appear alone when
asking sja1105 to offload it. One (or more) redirect or trap actions must also
follow along.
Example: create a tc-taprio schedule that is phase-aligned with a tc-gate
schedule (the clocks must be synchronized by a 1588 application stack, which is
outside the scope of this document). No packet delivered by the sender will be
dropped. Note that the reception window is larger than the transmission window
(and much more so, in this example) to compensate for the packet propagation
delay of the link (which can be determined by the 1588 application stack).
Receiver (sja1105)::
tc qdisc add dev swp2 clsact
now=$(phc_ctl /dev/ptp1 get | awk '/clock time is/ {print $5}') && \
sec=$(echo $now | awk -F. '{print $1}') && \
base_time="$(((sec + 2) * 1000000000))" && \
echo "base time ${base_time}"
tc filter add dev swp2 ingress flower skip_sw \

action gate base-time ${base_time} \
sched-entry OPEN 60000 -1 -1 \

action trap
Sender::
now=$(phc_ctl /dev/ptp0 get | awk '/clock time is/ {print $5}') && \
sec=$(echo $now | awk -F. '{print $1}') && \
base_time="$(((sec + 2) * 1000000000))" && \

base-time ${base_time} \
sched-entry S 01 50000 \
sched-entry S 00 50000 \
flags 2
The engine used to schedule the ingress gate operations is the same that the
one used for the tc-taprio offload. Therefore, the restrictions regarding the
fact that no two gate actions (either tc-gate or tc-taprio gates) may fire at
the same time (during the same 200 ns slot) still apply.
To come in handy, it is possible to share time-triggered virtual links across
more than 1 ingress port, via flow blocks. In this case, the restriction of
firing at the same time does not apply because there is a single schedule in
the system, that of the shared virtual link::
tc qdisc add dev swp2 ingress_block 1 clsact
tc qdisc add dev swp3 ingress_block 1 clsact
tc filter add block 1 flower skip_sw dst_mac 42:be:24:9b:76:20 \
action gate index 2 \
base-time 0 \
sched-entry OPEN 50000000 -1 -1 \
sched-entry CLOSE 50000000 -1 -1 \
action trap
Hardware statistics for each flow are also available ("pkts" counts the number
of dropped frames, which is a sum of frames dropped due to timing violations,
lack of destination ports and MTU enforcement checks). Byte-level counters are
not available.

could argue that MTU should be roughly half the usual size for two
modems, one-third for three, one-fourth for four, etc... But going
too far below 296 is probably overkill. Here is an example ifconfig

Hi Simon,
Hi Simon,
I've installed your patch and it works great. I have trialed
it over twin SL/IP lines, just over null modems, but I was
able to data at over 48Kb/s [ISDN link -Simon]. I managed a
transfer of up to 7.5 Kbyte/s on one go, but averaged around
6.4 Kbyte/s, which I think is pretty cool. :)

Notification contents:
An Ethernet cable typically contains 1, 2 or 4 pairs. The length of
the pair can only be measured when there is a fault in the pair and
hence a reflection. Information about the fault may not be available,
depending on the specific hardware. Hence the contents of the notify
message are mostly optional. The attributes can be repeated an
arbitrary number of times, in an arbitrary order, for an arbitrary
number of pairs.
The example shows the notification sent when the test is completed for
a T2 cable, i.e. two pairs. One pair is OK and hence has no length
information. The second pair has a fault and does have length
information.

The ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_CFG is optional, as well as all members
of the nest. All distances are expressed in centimeters. The PHY takes
the distances as a guide, and rounds to the nearest distance it
actually supports. If a pair is passed, only that one pair will be
tested. Otherwise all pairs are tested.
Notification contents:
Raw TDR data is gathered by sending a pulse down the cable and
recording the amplitude of the reflected pulse for a given distance.
It can take a number of seconds to collect TDR data, especial if the
full 100 meters is probed at 1 meter intervals. When the test is
started a notification will be sent containing just
ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_STARTED.
When the test has completed a second notification will be sent
containing ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_COMPLETED and the TDR data.
The message may optionally contain the amplitude of the pulse send
down the cable. This is measured in mV. A reflection should not be
bigger than transmitted pulse.
Before the raw TDR data should be an ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_STEP
nest containing information about the distance along the cable for the
first reading, the last reading, and the step between each
reading. Distances are measured in centimeters. These should be the
exact values the PHY used. These may be different to what the user
requested, if the native measurement resolution is greater than 1 cm.
For each step along the cable, a ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_AMPLITUDE is
used to report the amplitude of the reflection for a given pair.
