19Identifying the Adapter
20=======================
21
22To find if one or more Pensando PCI Ethernet devices are installed on the
23host, check for the PCI devices::
24
25  $ lspci -d 1dd8:
26  b5:00.0 Ethernet controller: Device 1dd8:1002
27  b6:00.0 Ethernet controller: Device 1dd8:1002
28
29If such devices are listed as above, then the ionic.ko driver should find
30and configure them for use.  There should be log entries in the kernel
31messages such as these::
32
33  $ dmesg | grep ionic
34  ionic 0000:b5:00.0: 126.016 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth (8.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link)
35  ionic 0000:b5:00.0 enp181s0: renamed from eth0
36  ionic 0000:b5:00.0 enp181s0: Link up - 100 Gbps
37  ionic 0000:b6:00.0: 126.016 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth (8.0 GT/s PCIe x16 link)
38  ionic 0000:b6:00.0 enp182s0: renamed from eth0
39  ionic 0000:b6:00.0 enp182s0: Link up - 100 Gbps
40
41Driver and firmware version information can be gathered with either of
42ethtool or devlink tools::
43
44  $ ethtool -i enp181s0
45  driver: ionic
46  version: 5.7.0
47  firmware-version: 1.8.0-28
48  ...
49
50  $ devlink dev info pci/0000:b5:00.0
51  pci/0000:b5:00.0:
52    driver ionic
53    serial_number FLM18420073
54    versions:
55        fixed:
56          asic.id 0x0
57          asic.rev 0x0
58        running:
59          fw 1.8.0-28
60
61See Documentation/networking/devlink/ionic.rst for more information
62on the devlink dev info data.
63
64Enabling the driver
65===================
66
67The driver is enabled via the standard kernel configuration system,
68using the make command::
69
70  make oldconfig/menuconfig/etc.
71
72The driver is located in the menu structure at:
73
74  -> Device Drivers
75    -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y])
76      -> Ethernet driver support
77        -> Pensando devices
78          -> Pensando Ethernet IONIC Support
79
80Configuring the Driver
81======================
82
83MTU
84---
85
86Jumbo frame support is available with a maximim size of 9194 bytes.
87
88Interrupt coalescing
89--------------------
90
91Interrupt coalescing can be configured by changing the rx-usecs value with
92the "ethtool -C" command.  The rx-usecs range is 0-190.  The tx-usecs value
93reflects the rx-usecs value as they are tied together on the same interrupt.
94
95SR-IOV
96------
97
98Minimal SR-IOV support is currently offered and can be enabled by setting
99the sysfs 'sriov_numvfs' value, if supported by your particular firmware
100configuration.
101
102Statistics
103==========
104
105Basic hardware stats
106--------------------
107
108The commands ``netstat -i``, ``ip -s link show``, and ``ifconfig`` show
109a limited set of statistics taken directly from firmware.  For example::
110
111  $ ip -s link show enp181s0
112  7: enp181s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
113      link/ether 00:ae:cd:00:07:68 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
114      RX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped overrun mcast
115      414        5        0       0       0       0
116      TX: bytes  packets  errors  dropped carrier collsns
117      1384       18       0       0       0       0
118
119ethtool -S
120----------
121
122The statistics shown from the ``ethtool -S`` command includes a combination of
123driver counters and firmware counters, including port and queue specific values.
124The driver values are counters computed by the driver, and the firmware values
125are gathered by the firmware from the port hardware and passed through the
126driver with no further interpretation.
