4 Marvell cnxk SSO Eventdev Driver
5 ================================
7 The SSO PMD (**librte_event_cnxk**) and provides poll mode
8 eventdev driver support for the inbuilt event device found in the
9 **Marvell OCTEON cnxk** SoC family.
11 More information about OCTEON cnxk SoC can be found at `Marvell Official Website
12 <https://www.marvell.com/embedded-processors/infrastructure-processors/>`_.
14 Supported OCTEON cnxk SoCs
15 --------------------------
23 Features of the OCTEON cnxk SSO PMD are:
26 - 26 (dual) and 52 (single) Event ports on CN9XX
27 - 52 Event ports on CN10XX
29 - Supports 1M flows per event queue
30 - Flow based event pipelining
31 - Flow pinning support in flow based event pipelining
32 - Queue based event pipelining
33 - Supports ATOMIC, ORDERED, PARALLEL schedule types per flow
34 - Event scheduling QoS based on event queue priority
35 - Open system with configurable amount of outstanding events limited only by
37 - HW accelerated dequeue timeout support to enable power management
38 - HW managed event timers support through TIM, with high precision and
39 time granularity of 2.5us on CN9K and 1us on CN10K.
40 - Up to 256 TIM rings a.k.a event timer adapters.
41 - Up to 8 rings traversed in parallel.
43 Prerequisites and Compilation procedure
44 ---------------------------------------
46 See :doc:`../platform/cnxk` for setup information.
49 Runtime Config Options
50 ----------------------
52 - ``Maximum number of in-flight events`` (default ``8192``)
54 In **Marvell OCTEON cnxk** the max number of in-flight events are only limited
55 by DRAM size, the ``xae_cnt`` devargs parameter is introduced to provide
56 upper limit for in-flight events.
60 -a 0002:0e:00.0,xae_cnt=16384
62 - ``CN9K Getwork mode``
64 CN9K ``single_ws`` devargs parameter is introduced to select single workslot
65 mode in SSO and disable the default dual workslot mode.
69 -a 0002:0e:00.0,single_ws=1
71 - ``CN10K Getwork mode``
73 CN10K supports multiple getwork prefetch modes, by default the prefetch
78 -a 0002:0e:00.0,gw_mode=1
80 - ``Event Group QoS support``
82 SSO GGRPs i.e. queue uses DRAM & SRAM buffers to hold in-flight
83 events. By default the buffers are assigned to the SSO GGRPs to
84 satisfy minimum HW requirements. SSO is free to assign the remaining
85 buffers to GGRPs based on a preconfigured threshold.
86 We can control the QoS of SSO GGRP by modifying the above mentioned
87 thresholds. GGRPs that have higher importance can be assigned higher
88 thresholds than the rest. The dictionary format is as follows
89 [Qx-XAQ-TAQ-IAQ][Qz-XAQ-TAQ-IAQ] expressed in percentages, 0 represents
94 -a 0002:0e:00.0,qos=[1-50-50-50]
98 By default chunks are allocated from NPA then TIM can automatically free
99 them when traversing the list of chunks. The ``tim_disable_npa`` devargs
100 parameter disables NPA and uses software mempool to manage chunks
104 -a 0002:0e:00.0,tim_disable_npa=1
106 - ``TIM modify chunk slots``
108 The ``tim_chnk_slots`` devargs can be used to modify number of chunk slots.
109 Chunks are used to store event timers, a chunk can be visualised as an array
110 where the last element points to the next chunk and rest of them are used to
111 store events. TIM traverses the list of chunks and enqueues the event timers
112 to SSO. The default value is 255 and the max value is 4095.
116 -a 0002:0e:00.0,tim_chnk_slots=1023
118 - ``TIM enable arm/cancel statistics``
120 The ``tim_stats_ena`` devargs can be used to enable arm and cancel stats of
125 -a 0002:0e:00.0,tim_stats_ena=1
127 - ``TIM limit max rings reserved``
129 The ``tim_rings_lmt`` devargs can be used to limit the max number of TIM
130 rings i.e. event timer adapter reserved on probe. Since, TIM rings are HW
131 resources we can avoid starving other applications by not grabbing all the
136 -a 0002:0e:00.0,tim_rings_lmt=5
138 - ``TIM ring control internal parameters``
140 When using multiple TIM rings the ``tim_ring_ctl`` devargs can be used to
141 control each TIM rings internal parameters uniquely. The following dict
142 format is expected [ring-chnk_slots-disable_npa-stats_ena]. 0 represents
147 -a 0002:0e:00.0,tim_ring_ctl=[2-1023-1-0]
