Subject: [PATCH v5 net-next 3/3] devlink: Add documentation for OcteonTx2 AF
Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2024 18:26:20 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241105125620.2114301-4-lcherian@marvell.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241105125620.2114301-1-lcherian@marvell.com>
Add documentation for the following devlink params
- npc_mcam_high_zone_percent
- npc_def_rule_cntr
- nix_maxlf
Signed-off-by: Linu Cherian <lcherian@marvell.com>

Changelog from v4:
- Describe the behaviour when counters are not sufficient to meet all
the enabled rules
- Add definition for default rules
- Add sample commands to read counters for default rules
- "Reviewed-by" from Simon not added due to above changes.

Hardware uses weighted DWRR algorithm to schedule among all transmit queues.

+ - bool
+ - runtime
+ - Use to enable or disable hit counters for the default rules in NPC MCAM.
+ Its not guaranteed that counters gets enabled and mapped to all the default rules,
+ since the counters are scarce and driver follows a best effort approach.
+ The default rule serves as the primary packet steering rule for a specific PF or VF,
+ based on its DMAC address which is installed by AF driver as part of its initialization.
+ Sample command to read hit counters for default rule from debugfs is as follows,
+ cat /sys/kernel/debug/cn10k/npc/mcam_rules
+ * - ``nix_maxlf``
+ - u16
+ - runtime
+ - Use to set the maximum number of LFs in NIX hardware block. This would be useful
+ to increase the availability of default resources allocated to enabled LFs like
+ MCAM entries for example.
