+Supported SR-IOV Chelsio NICs
+-----------------------------
+
+SR-IOV virtual functions are supported on all the Chelsio NICs listed
+in :ref:`t5-nics` and :ref:`t6-nics`.
+
Prerequisites
-------------
-- Requires firmware version **1.16.43.0** and higher. Visit
+- Requires firmware version **1.24.11.0** and higher. Visit
`Chelsio Download Center <http://service.chelsio.com>`_ to get latest firmware
bundled with the latest Chelsio Unified Wire package.
Toggle compilation of librte_pmd_cxgbe driver.
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CXGBE_DEBUG`` (default **n**)
+ .. note::
+
+ This controls compilation of both CXGBE and CXGBEVF PMD.
+
+Runtime Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following ``devargs`` options can be enabled at runtime. They must
+be passed as part of EAL arguments. For example,
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ testpmd -w 02:00.4,keep_ovlan=1 -- -i
+
+Common Runtime Options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- ``keep_ovlan`` (default **0**)
+
+ Toggle behavior to keep/strip outer VLAN in Q-in-Q packets. If
+ enabled, the outer VLAN tag is preserved in Q-in-Q packets. Otherwise,
+ the outer VLAN tag is stripped in Q-in-Q packets.
+
+- ``tx_mode_latency`` (default **0**)
+
+ When set to 1, Tx doesn't wait for max number of packets to get
+ coalesced and sends the packets immediately at the end of the
+ current Tx burst. When set to 0, Tx waits across multiple Tx bursts
+ until the max number of packets have been coalesced. In this case,
+ Tx only sends the coalesced packets to hardware once the max
+ coalesce limit has been reached.
+
+CXGBE VF Only Runtime Options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- ``force_link_up`` (default **0**)
+
+ When set to 1, CXGBEVF PMD always forces link as up for all VFs on
+ underlying Chelsio NICs. This enables multiple VFs on the same NIC
+ to send traffic to each other even when the physical link is down.
+
+CXGBE PF Only Runtime Options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- ``filtermode`` (default **0**)
+
+ Apart from the 4-tuple (IP src/dst addresses and TCP/UDP src/dst port
+ addresses), there are only 40-bits available to match other fields in
+ packet headers. So, ``filtermode`` devarg allows user to dynamically
+ select a 40-bit supported match field combination for LETCAM (wildcard)
+ filters.
+
+ Default value of **0** makes driver pick the combination configured in
+ the firmware configuration file on the adapter.
+
+ The supported flags and their corresponding values are shown in table below.
+ These flags can be OR'd to create 1 of the multiple supported combinations
+ for LETCAM filters.
+
+ ================== ======
+ FLAG VALUE
+ ================== ======
+ Physical Port 0x1
+ PFVF 0x2

+ Ethertype 0x8

+ IP Protocol 0x80

+
+ For example, to enable matching ``ethertype`` field in Ethernet
+ header, and ``protocol`` field in IPv4 header, the ``filtermode``
+ combination must be given as:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
- Toggle display of generic debugging messages.
+ testpmd -w 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88 -- -i
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CXGBE_DEBUG_REG`` (default **n**)
+- ``filtermask`` (default **0**)
- Toggle display of registers related run-time check messages.
+ ``filtermask`` devarg works similar to ``filtermode``, but is used
+ to configure a filter mode combination for HASH (exact-match) filters.
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CXGBE_DEBUG_MBOX`` (default **n**)
+ .. note::
- Toggle display of firmware mailbox related run-time check messages.
+ The combination chosen for ``filtermask`` devarg **must be a subset** of
+ the combination chosen for ``filtermode`` devarg.
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CXGBE_DEBUG_TX`` (default **n**)
+ Default value of **0** makes driver pick the combination configured in
+ the firmware configuration file on the adapter.
- Toggle display of transmission data path run-time check messages.
+ Note that the filter rule will only be inserted in HASH region, if the
+ rule contains **all** the fields specified in the ``filtermask`` combination.
+ Otherwise, the filter rule will get inserted in LETCAM region.
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CXGBE_DEBUG_RX`` (default **n**)
+ The same combination list explained in the tables in ``filtermode`` devarg
+ section earlier applies for ``filtermask`` devarg, as well.
- Toggle display of receiving data path run-time check messages.
+ For example, to enable matching only protocol field in IPv4 header, the
+ ``filtermask`` combination must be given as:
-- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_CXGBE_TPUT`` (default **y**)
+ .. code-block:: console
- Toggle behaviour to prefer Throughput or Latency.
+ testpmd -w 02:00.4,filtermode=0x88,filtermask=0x80 -- -i

+Configuring SR-IOV Virtual Functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section demonstrates how to enable SR-IOV virtual functions
+on Chelsio NICs and demonstrates how to run testpmd with SR-IOV
+virtual functions.
+
+#. Load the kernel module:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ modprobe cxgb4
+
+#. Get the PCI bus addresses of the interfaces bound to cxgb4 driver:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ dmesg | tail -2
+
+ Example output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ cxgb4 0000:02:00.4 p1p1: renamed from eth0
+ cxgb4 0000:02:00.4 p1p2: renamed from eth1
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Both the interfaces of a Chelsio 2-port adapter are bound to the
+ same PCI bus address.
+
+#. Use ifconfig to get the interface name assigned to Chelsio card:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ifconfig -a | grep "00:07:43"
+
+ Example output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ p1p1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:43:2D:EA:C0
+ p1p2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:07:43:2D:EA:C8
+
+#. Bring up the interfaces:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ ifconfig p1p1 up
+ ifconfig p1p2 up
+
+#. Instantiate SR-IOV Virtual Functions. PF0..3 can be used for
+ SR-IOV VFs. Multiple VFs can be instantiated on each of PF0..3.
+ To instantiate one SR-IOV VF on each PF0 and PF1:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:02\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
+ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:02\:00.1/sriov_numvfs
+
+#. Get the PCI bus addresses of the virtual functions:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ lspci | grep -i "Chelsio" | grep -i "VF"
+
+ Example output:
+
+ .. code-block:: console
+
+ 02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Chelsio Communications Inc T540-CR Unified Wire Ethernet Controller [VF]
+ 02:01.1 Ethernet controller: Chelsio Communications Inc T540-CR Unified Wire Ethernet Controller [VF]
+
+#. Running testpmd
+
+ Follow instructions available in the document
+ :ref:`compiling and testing a PMD for a NIC <pmd_build_and_test>`
+ to bind virtual functions and run testpmd.
