Most of the management operations are +framed in a generic Get/Set feature command. + +The following admin queue commands are supported: + +* Create I/O submission queue +* Create I/O completion queue +* Destroy I/O submission queue +* Destroy I/O completion queue +* Get feature +* Set feature +* Get statistics + +Refer to ``ena_admin_defs.h`` for the list of supported Get/Set Feature +properties. + +Data Path Interface +------------------- + +I/O operations are based on Tx and Rx Submission Queues (Tx SQ and Rx +SQ correspondingly). Each SQ has a completion queue (CQ) associated +with it. + +The SQs and CQs are implemented as descriptor rings in contiguous +physical memory. + +Refer to ``ena_eth_io_defs.h`` for the detailed structure of the descriptor + +The driver supports multi-queue for both Tx and Rx. + +Configuration information +------------------------- + +**DPDK Configuration Parameters** + + The following configuration options are available for the ENA PMD: + + * **CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ENA_PMD** (default y): Enables or disables inclusion + of the ENA PMD driver in the DPDK compilation. + + + * **CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ENA_DEBUG_INIT** (default y): Enables or disables debug + logging of device initialization within the ENA PMD driver. + + * **CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ENA_DEBUG_RX** (default n): Enables or disables debug + logging of RX logic within the ENA PMD driver. + + * **CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ENA_DEBUG_TX** (default n): Enables or disables debug + logging of TX logic within the ENA PMD driver. + + * **CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_ENA_COM_DEBUG** (default n): Enables or disables debug + logging of low level tx/rx logic in ena_com(base) within the ENA PMD driver. + +**ENA Configuration Parameters** + + * **Number of Queues** + + This is the requested number of queues upon initialization, however, the actual + number of receive and transmit queues to be created will be the minimum between + the maximal number supported by the device and number of queues requested. + + * **Size of Queues** + + This is the requested size of receive/transmit queues, while the actual size + will be the minimum between the requested size and the maximal receive/transmit + supported by the device. + +Building DPDK +------------- + +See the :ref:`DPDK Getting Started Guide for Linux ` for +instructions on how to build DPDK. + +By default the ENA PMD library will be built into the DPDK library. + +For configuring and using UIO and VFIO frameworks, please also refer :ref:`the +documentation that comes with DPDK suite `. + +Supported ENA adapters +---------------------- + +Current ENA PMD supports the following ENA adapters including: + +* ``1d0f:ec20`` - ENA VF +* ``1d0f:ec21`` - ENA VF with LLQ support + +Supported Operating Systems +--------------------------- + +Any Linux distribution fulfilling the conditions described in ``System Requirements`` +section of :ref:`the DPDK documentation ` or refer to *DPDK Release Notes*. + +Supported features +------------------ + +* Jumbo frames up to 9K +* Port Hardware Statistics +* IPv4/TCP/UDP checksum offload +* TSO offload +* Multiple receive and transmit queues +* RSS +* Low Latency Queue for Tx + +Unsupported features +-------------------- + +The features supported by the device and not yet supported by this PMD include: + +* Asynchronous Event Notification Queue (AENQ) + +Prerequisites +------------- + +#. Prepare the system as recommended by DPDK suite. This includes environment + variables, hugepages configuration, tool-chains and configuration + +#. Insert igb_uio kernel module using the command 'modprobe igb_uio' + +#. Bind the intended ENA device to igb_uio module + + +At this point the system should be ready to run DPDK applications. Once the +application runs to completion, the ENA can be detached from igb_uio if necessary. + +Usage example +------------- + +This section demonstrates how to launch **testpmd** with Amazon ENA +devices managed by librte_pmd_ena. + +#. Load the kernel modules: + + .. code-block:: console + + modprobe uio + insmod ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko + + .. note:: + + Currently Amazon ENA PMD driver depends on igb_uio user space I/O kernel module + +#. Mount and request huge pages: + + .. code-block:: console + + mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages + echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages + +#. Bind UIO driver to ENA device (using provided by DPDK binding tool): + + .. code-block:: console + + ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind=igb_uio 0000:02:00.1 + +#.
