- mutually exclusive with ``enable_roce``
Info versions
=============
The ``ice`` driver reports the following versions
.. list-table:: devlink info versions implemented
:widths: 5 5 5 90
* - Name
- Type
- Example
- Description
* - ``board.id``
- fixed
- K65390-000
- The Product Board Assembly (PBA) identifier of the board.
* - ``fw.mgmt``
- running
- 2.1.7
- 3-digit version number of the management firmware running on the
Embedded Management Processor of the device. It controls the PHY,
link, access to device resources, etc. Intel documentation refers to
this as the EMP firmware.
* - ``fw.mgmt.api``
- running
- 1.5.1
- 3-digit version number (major.minor.patch) of the API exported over
the AdminQ by the management firmware. Used by the driver to
identify what commands are supported. Historical versions of the
kernel only displayed a 2-digit version number (major.minor).
* - ``fw.mgmt.build``
- running
- 0x305d955f
- Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
* - ``fw.undi``
- running
- 1.2581.0
- Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
* - ``fw.psid.api``
- running
- 0.80
- Version defining the format of the flash contents.
* - ``fw.bundle_id``
- running
- 0x80002ec0
- Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
* - ``fw.app.name``
- running
- ICE OS Default Package
- The name of the DDP package that is active in the device. The DDP
package is loaded by the driver during initialization. Each
variation of the DDP package has a unique name.
* - ``fw.app``
- running
- 1.3.1.0
- The version of the DDP package that is active in the device. Note
that both the name (as reported by ``fw.app.name``) and version are
required to uniquely identify the package.
* - ``fw.app.bundle_id``
- running
- 0xc0000001
- Unique identifier for the DDP package loaded in the device. Also
referred to as the DDP Track ID. Can be used to uniquely identify
the specific DDP package.
* - ``fw.netlist``
- running
- 1.1.2000-6.7.0
- The version of the netlist module. This module defines the device's
Ethernet capabilities and default settings, and is used by the
management firmware as part of managing link and device
connectivity.
* - ``fw.netlist.build``
- running
- 0xee16ced7
- The first 4 bytes of the hash of the netlist module contents.
Flash Update
============
The ``ice`` driver implements support for flash update using the
``devlink-flash`` interface. It supports updating the device flash using a
combined flash image that contains the ``fw.mgmt``, ``fw.undi``, and
``fw.netlist`` components.
.. list-table:: List of supported overwrite modes
:widths: 5 95
* - Bits
- Behavior
* - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS``
- Do not preserve settings stored in the flash components being
updated. This includes overwriting the port configuration that
determines the number of physical functions the device will
initialize with.
* - ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_SETTINGS`` and ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS``
- Do not preserve either settings or identifiers. Overwrite everything
in the flash with the contents from the provided image, without
performing any preservation. This includes overwriting device
identifying fields such as the MAC address, VPD area, and device
serial number. It is expected that this combination be used with an
image customized for the specific device.
The ice hardware does not support overwriting only identifiers while
preserving settings, and thus ``DEVLINK_FLASH_OVERWRITE_IDENTIFIERS`` on its
own will be rejected. If no overwrite mask is provided, the firmware will be
instructed to preserve all settings and identifying fields when updating.
Reload
======
The ``ice`` driver supports activating new firmware after a flash update
using ``DEVLINK_CMD_RELOAD`` with the ``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_FW_ACTIVATE``
action.
.. code:: shell
$ devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0 reload action fw_activate
The new firmware is activated by issuing a device specific Embedded
Management Processor reset which requests the device to reset and reload the
EMP firmware image.
The driver does not currently support reloading the driver via
``DEVLINK_RELOAD_ACTION_DRIVER_REINIT``.
Port split
==========
The ``ice`` driver supports port splitting only for port 0, as the FW has
a predefined set of available port split options for the whole device.
A system reboot is required for port split to be applied.
The following command will select the port split option with 4 ports:
.. code:: shell
$ devlink port split pci/0000:16:00.0/0 count 4
The list of all available port options will be printed to dynamic debug after
each ``split`` and ``unsplit`` command. The first option is the default.
.. code:: shell
ice 0000:16:00.0: Available port split options and max port speeds (Gbps):
ice 0000:16:00.0: Status Split Quad 0 Quad 1
ice 0000:16:00.0: count L0 L1 L2 L3 L4 L5 L6 L7
ice 0000:16:00.0: Active 2 100 - - - 100 - - -
ice 0000:16:00.0: 2 50 - 50 - - - - -
ice 0000:16:00.0: Pending 4 25 25 25 25 - - - -
ice 0000:16:00.0: 4 25 25 - - 25 25 - -
ice 0000:16:00.0: 8 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
ice 0000:16:00.0: 1 100 - - - - - - -
There could be multiple FW port options with the same port split count. When
the same port split count request is issued again, the next FW port option with
the same port split count will be selected.
``devlink port unsplit`` will select the option with a split count of 1. If
there is no FW option available with split count 1, you will receive an error.
Regions
=======
The ``ice`` driver implements the following regions for accessing internal
device data.
.. list-table:: regions implemented
:widths: 15 85
* - Name
- Description
* - ``nvm-flash``
- The contents of the entire flash chip, sometimes referred to as
the device's Non Volatile Memory.
* - ``shadow-ram``
- The contents of the Shadow RAM, which is loaded from the beginning
of the flash. Although the contents are primarily from the flash,
this area also contains data generated during device boot which is
not stored in flash.
* - ``device-caps``
- The contents of the device firmware's capabilities buffer. Useful to
determine the current state and configuration of the device.
Both the ``nvm-flash`` and ``shadow-ram`` regions can be accessed without a
snapshot. The ``device-caps`` region requires a snapshot as the contents are
sent by firmware and can't be split into separate reads.
Users can request an immediate capture of a snapshot for all three regions
via the ``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW`` command.

Devlink Rate
============
The ``ice`` driver implements devlink-rate API. It allows for offload of
the Hierarchical QoS to the hardware. It enables user to group Virtual
Functions in a tree structure and assign supported parameters: tx_share,
tx_max, tx_priority and tx_weight to each node in a tree. So effectively
user gains an ability to control how much bandwidth is allocated for each
VF group. This is later enforced by the HW.
It is assumed that this feature is mutually exclusive with DCB performed
in FW and ADQ, or any driver feature that would trigger changes in QoS,
for example creation of the new traffic class. The driver will prevent DCB
or ADQ configuration if user started making any changes to the nodes using
devlink-rate API. To configure those features a driver reload is necessary.
Correspondingly if ADQ or DCB will get configured the driver won't export
hierarchy at all, or will remove the untouched hierarchy if those
features are enabled after the hierarchy is exported, but before any
changes are made.
This feature is also dependent on switchdev being enabled in the system.
It's required because devlink-rate requires devlink-port objects to be
present, and those objects are only created in switchdev mode.
If the driver is set to the switchdev mode, it will export internal
hierarchy the moment VF's are created. Root of the tree is always
represented by the node_0. This node can't be deleted by the user. Leaf
nodes and nodes with children also can't be deleted.
.. list-table:: Attributes supported
:widths: 15 85
* - Name
- Description
* - ``tx_max``
- maximum bandwidth to be consumed by the tree Node. Rate Limit is
an absolute number specifying a maximum amount of bytes a Node may
consume during the course of one second. Rate limit guarantees
that a link will not oversaturate the receiver on the remote end
and also enforces an SLA between the subscriber and network
provider.
* - ``tx_share``
- minimum bandwidth allocated to a tree node when it is not blocked.
It specifies an absolute BW. While tx_max defines the maximum
bandwidth the node may consume, the tx_share marks committed BW
for the Node.
* - ``tx_priority``
- allows for usage of strict priority arbiter among siblings. This
arbitration scheme attempts to schedule nodes based on their
priority as long as the nodes remain within their bandwidth limit.
Range 0-7. Nodes with priority 7 have the highest priority and are
selected first, while nodes with priority 0 have the lowest
priority. Nodes that have the same priority are treated equally.
* - ``tx_weight``
- allows for usage of Weighted Fair Queuing arbitration scheme among
siblings. This arbitration scheme can be used simultaneously with
the strict priority. Range 1-200. Only relative values matter for
arbitration.
``tx_priority`` and ``tx_weight`` can be used simultaneously. In that case
nodes with the same priority form a WFQ subgroup in the sibling group
and arbitration among them is based on assigned weights.
