==================================================
-The QAT PMD provides poll mode crypto driver support for **Intel QuickAssist
-Technology DH895xxC**, **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x** and
-**Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx** hardware accelerator.
+The QAT PMD provides poll mode crypto driver support for the following
+hardware accelerator devices:
+
+* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology DH895xCC``
+* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x``
+* ``Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx``
Features
Installation
------------
-To use the DPDK QAT PMD an SRIOV-enabled QAT kernel driver is required. The
-VF devices exposed by this driver will be used by QAT PMD.
-
-To enable QAT in DPDK, follow the instructions mentioned in
-http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html
+To enable QAT in DPDK, follow the instructions for modifying the compile-time
+configuration file as described `here <http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html>`_.
-Quick instructions as follows:
+Quick instructions are as follows:
.. code-block:: console
+ cd to the top-level DPDK directory
make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
sed -i 's,\(CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT\)=n,\1=y,' build/.config
make
-If you are running on kernel 4.4 or greater, see instructions for
-`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. If you are on a kernel earlier
-than 4.4, see `Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
-
-For **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x** and **Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx**
-device, kernel 4.5 or greater is needed.
-See instructions for `Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below.

-Installation using 01.org QAT driver
-------------------------------------
-
-NOTE: There is no driver available for **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x** and
-**Intel QuickAssist Technology C3xxx** devices on 01.org.
-
-Download the latest QuickAssist Technology Driver from `01.org

-Uninstall any existing QAT driver, for example by running:
-* ``./installer.sh uninstall`` in the directory where originally installed.
+The ``Driver`` column indicates either the Linux kernel version in which
+support for this device was introduced or a driver available on Intel's 01.org
+website. There are both linux and 01.org kernel drivers available for some
+devices.
-* or ``rmmod qat_dh895xcc; rmmod intel_qat``.
-
-Build and install the SRIOV-enabled QAT driver::
-
- mkdir /QAT
- cd /QAT
- # copy qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz to this location
- tar zxof qatmux.l.2.3.0-34.tgz
-
- export ICP_WITHOUT_IOMMU=1
- ./installer.sh install QAT1.6 host
-
-You can use ``cat /proc/icp_dh895xcc_dev0/version`` to confirm the driver is correctly installed.
-You can use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm the bdf of the 32 VF devices are available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
-
-To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
-
-**Note**: If using a later kernel and the build fails with an error relating to ``strict_stroul`` not being available apply the following patch:
-
-.. code-block:: diff

-If the build fails due to missing header files you may need to do following:
-
-* ``sudo yum install zlib-devel``
-* ``sudo yum install openssl-devel``
-
-If the build or install fails due to mismatching kernel sources you may need to do the following:
-
-* ``sudo yum install kernel-headers-`uname -r```
-* ``sudo yum install kernel-src-`uname -r```
-* ``sudo yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r```
+If you are running on a kernel which includes a driver for your device, see
+`Installation using kernel.org driver`_ below. Otherwise see
+`Installation using 01.org QAT driver`_.
Installation using kernel.org driver
------------------------------------
-For **Intel QuickAssist Technology DH895xxC**:
-
-Assuming you are running on at least a 4.4 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
-driver to start the QAT hardware.
-
-The steps below assume you are:
+The examples below are based on the C62x device, if you have a different device
+use the corresponding values in the above table.
-* Running DPDK on a platform with one ``DH895xCC`` device.
-* On a kernel at least version 4.4.
+In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either:
-In BIOS ensure that SRIOV is enabled and either
-a) disable VT-d or
-b) enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
+* Disable VT-d or
+* Enable VT-d and set ``"intel_iommu=on iommu=pt"`` in the grub file.
-Ensure the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
+Check that the QAT driver is loaded on your system, by executing::
- lsmod | grep qat
+ lsmod | grep qa
-You should see the following output::
+You should see the kernel module for your device listed, e.g.::
- qat_dh895xcc 5626 0
- intel_qat 82336 1 qat_dh895xcc
+ qat_c62x 5626 0
+ intel_qat 82336 1 qat_c62x
Next, you need to expose the Virtual Functions (VFs) using the sysfs file system.
-First find the bdf of the physical function (PF) of the DH895xCC device::
+First find the BDFs (Bus-Device-Function) of the physical functions (PFs) of
+your device, e.g.::
- lspci -d : 435
+ lspci -d : 37c8
You should see output similar to::
- 03:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Coleto Creek PCIe Endpoint
-
-Using the sysfs, enable the VFs::
-
- echo 32 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/dh895xcc/0000\:03\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
-
-If you get an error, it's likely you're using a QAT kernel driver earlier than kernel 4.4.
-
-To verify that the VFs are available for use - use ``lspci -d:443`` to confirm
-the bdf of the 32 VF devices are available per ``DH895xCC`` device.
+ 1a:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
+ 3d:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
+ 3f:00.0 Co-processor: Intel Corporation Device 37c8
-To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
+Enable the VFs for each PF by echoing the number of VFs per PF to the pci driver::
-**Note**: If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like
- ``Failed to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` this may be as a
- result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
+ echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:1a:00.0/sriov_numvfs

+ echo 16 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/c6xx/0000:3f:00.0/sriov_numvfs
-Download firmware from the kernel firmware repo at:
-http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/
+Check that the VFs are available for use. For example ``lspci -d:37c9`` should
+list 48 VF devices available for a ``C62x`` device.
-Copy qat binaries to /lib/firmware:
-* ``cp qat_895xcc.bin /lib/firmware``
-* ``cp qat_895xcc_mmp.bin /lib/firmware``
+To complete the installation follow the instructions in
+`Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
-cd to your linux source root directory and start the qat kernel modules:
-* ``insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_common/intel_qat.ko``
-* ``insmod ./drivers/crypto/qat/qat_dh895xcc/qat_dh895xcc.ko``
+.. Note::
-**Note**:The following warning in /var/log/messages can be ignored:
- ``IOMMU should be enabled for SR-IOV to work correctly``
+ If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like ``Failed
+ to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` in kernel logs, this may be as a
+ result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
-For **Intel QuickAssist Technology C62x**:
-Assuming you are running on at least a 4.5 kernel, you can use the stock kernel.org QAT
-driver to start the QAT hardware.
+ Download firmware from the `kernel firmware repo
