Devlink configuration parameters
|
||||||
|
================================
|
||||||
|
Following is the list of configuration parameters via devlink interface.
|
||||||
|
Each parameter can be generic or driver specific and are device level
|
||||||
|
parameters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the driver-specific files should contain the generic params
|
||||||
|
they support to, with supported config modes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each parameter can be set in different configuration modes:
|
||||||
|
runtime - set while driver is running, no reset required.
|
||||||
|
driverinit - applied while driver initializes, requires restart
|
||||||
|
driver by devlink reload command.
|
||||||
|
permanent - written to device's non-volatile memory, hard reset
|
||||||
|
required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Following is the list of parameters:
|
||||||
|
====================================
|
||||||
|
enable_sriov [DEVICE, GENERIC]
|
||||||
|
Enable Single Root I/O Virtualisation (SRIOV) in
|
||||||
|
the device.
|
||||||
|
Type: Boolean
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ignore_ari [DEVICE, GENERIC]
|
||||||
|
Ignore Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI)
|
||||||
|
capability. If enabled, adapter will ignore ARI
|
||||||
|
capability even when platforms has the support
|
||||||
|
enabled and creates same number of partitions when
|
||||||
|
platform does not support ARI.
|
||||||
|
Type: Boolean
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
msix_vec_per_pf_max [DEVICE, GENERIC]
|
||||||
|
Provides the maximum number of MSIX interrupts that
|
||||||
|
a device can create. Value is same across all
|
||||||
|
physical functions (PFs) in the device.
|
||||||
|
Type: u32
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
msix_vec_per_pf_min [DEVICE, GENERIC]
|
||||||
|
Provides the minimum number of MSIX interrupts required
|
||||||
|
for the device initialization. Value is same across all
|
||||||
|
physical functions (PFs) in the device.
|
||||||
|
Type: u32
