+
+BNX2X Poll Mode Driver
+======================
+
+The BNX2X poll mode driver library (**librte_pmd_bnx2x**) implemements support
+for **QLogic 578xx** 10/20 Gbps family of adapters as well as their virtual
+functions (VF) in SR-IOV context. It is supported on several standard Linux
+distros like Red Hat 7.x and SLES12 OS. It is compile-tested under FreeBSD OS.
+
+More information can be found at `QLogic Corporation's Official Website
+<http://www.qlogic.com>`_.
+
+Supported Features
+------------------
+
+BNX2X PMD has support for:
+
+- Base L2 features
+- Unicast/multicast filtering
+- Promiscuous mode
+- Port hardware statistics
+- SR-IOV VF
+
+Non-supported Features
+----------------------
+
+The features not yet supported include:
+
+- TSS (Transmit Side Scaling)
+- RSS (Receive Side Scaling)
+- LRO/TSO offload
+- Checksum offload
+- SR-IOV PF
+
+Co-existence considerations
+---------------------------
+
+- BCM578xx being a CNA can have both NIC and Storage personalities.
+However, coexistence with storage protocol drivers (cnic, bnx2fc and
+bnx2fi) is not supported on the same adapter. So storage personality
+has to be disabled on that adapter when used in DPDK applications.
+
+- For SR-IOV case, bnx2x PMD will be used to bind to SR-IOV VF device and
+linux native kernel driver (bnx2x) will be attached to SR-IOV PF.
+
+
+Supported QLogic NICs
+---------------------
+
+- 578xx
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+- Requires firmware version **7.2.51.0**. It is inbox on most of the
+  standard linux distros. If it is not available visit
+  `QLogic Driver Download Center <http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com>`
+  to get the required firmware.
+
+Pre-Installation Configuration
+------------------------------
+
+Config File Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following options can be modified in the ``.config`` file. Please note that
+enabling debugging options may affect system performance.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_PMD`` (default **y**)
+
+  Toggle compilation of bnx2x driver.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG`` (default **n**)
+
+  Toggle display of generic debugging messages.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG_INIT`` (default **n**)
+
+  Toggle display of initialization related messages.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG_TX`` (default **n**)
+
+  Toggle display of transmit fast path run-time messages.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG_RX`` (default **n**)
+
+  Toggle display of receive fast path run-time messages.
+
+- ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_REG_ACCESS`` (default **n**)
+
+  Toggle display of register reads and writes.

+SR-IOV: Prerequistes and sample Application Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section provides instructions to configure SR-IOV with Linux OS.
+
+#. Verify SR-IOV and ARI capabilities are enabled on the adapter using lspci:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      lspci -s <slot> -vvv
+
+   Example output:
+
+        .. code-block:: console
+
+           [...]
+           Capabilities: [1b8 v1] Alternative Routing-ID Interpretation (ARI)
+           [...]
+           Capabilities: [1c0 v1] Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV)
+           [...]
+           Kernel driver in use: igb_uio
+
+#. Load the kernel module:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      modprobe bnx2x
+
+   Example output:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      systemd-udevd[4848]: renamed network interface eth0 to ens5f0
+      systemd-udevd[4848]: renamed network interface eth1 to ens5f1
+
+#. Bring up the PF ports:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      ifconfig ens5f0 up
+      ifconfig ens5f1 up
+
+#. Create VF device(s):
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      Echo the number of VFs to be created into "sriov_numvfs" sysfs entry
+      of the parent PF.
+
+   Example output:
+
+        .. code-block:: console
+
+           echo 2 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:81:00.0/sriov_numvfs
+
+
+#. Assign VF MAC address:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      Assign MAC address to the VF using iproute2 ulility. The syntax is:
+      ip link set <PF iface> vf <VF id> mac <macaddr>
+
+   Example output:
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+      ip link set ens5f0 vf 0 mac 52:54:00:2f:9d:e8
+
+
+#. PCI passthrough:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      The VF devices may be passthru'ed to the guest VM using virt-manager or virsh etc.
+      bnx2x PMD should be used to bind the VF devices in the guest VM using the instructions
+      outlined in Application notes.

Hi Stephen,
From our understanding, we need to take care of other outstanding issues
to claim maintainership.
That’s why we did not send out MAINTAINERS patch. We will do that once we
address remaining feedback items.

Thanks,
Harish

Why do you need this option?
Why only for Linux?

And last but not the least, why nobody else have reviewed carefully this patch

SR-IOV is supported using bnx2x poll mode driver running as VF driver and
native linux driver running as PF (in host/hypervisor). There is no issue
while running with the PF driver which is at the base version as that of
PMD. However, there is a compatibility issue between newer out-of-box PF
drivers with older VF driver. So the newer VFs would also need to send
BNX2X_VF_TLV_PHYS_PORT_ID (among other TLVs) to differentiate between
newer and older VFs.

Thanks,
Harish

So the title should be "update VF to support new PF drivers".
Please put the detailed explanation in the commit message.

I would say no but you have the ownership on this code.
Please think which code quality you are expecting.

Currently logging of register accesses is using (wrongly) the generic
driver debug option of PMD_DRV_LOG (which gets enabled if
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG=y).
This floods the console due to excessive printing of register
reads/writes. So creating a new debug option in order to capture only the
register read/writes (if required) and also does not interfere with the
informational/user-level debug.


>Why only for Linux?
It was added for BSD as well in the subsequent patch ([PATCH 1/6] bnx2x:
FreeBSD enablement). Will include it in a single patch in v2 series.

You mean there is not enough log levels?

#define RTE_LOG_EMERG    1U  /**< System is unusable.               */
#define RTE_LOG_ALERT    2U  /**< Action must be taken immediately. */
#define RTE_LOG_CRIT     3U  /**< Critical conditions.              */
#define RTE_LOG_ERR      4U  /**< Error conditions.                 */
#define RTE_LOG_WARNING  5U  /**< Warning conditions.               */
#define RTE_LOG_NOTICE   6U  /**< Normal but significant condition. */
#define RTE_LOG_INFO     7U  /**< Informational.                    */
#define RTE_LOG_DEBUG    8U  /**< Debug-level messages.             */

Either other "debug" logs can be put as INFO level, or
you need a level 9 for verbose debug.
But I don't really understand what is the problem of a verbose debug.

It is not critical for the acceptance of this patch. Just wanted to discuss
it as we have many config options to tune the debug.

Please, at least, use the DEBUG word in the option name as done for
CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG_RX.

Currently PMD_DRV_LOG(DEBUG,..) is used all over the places and converting
that into INFO/NOTICE levels results in lot of changes.
Even if we convert other debug logs as INFO level logs, since level 8 is
the default debug level,  the user would have to edit config file to
prevent flooding of the messages on the console. So I guess adding a debug
option without needing additional level would suffice for now. I shall
rename it as CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_BNX2X_DEBUG_PERIODIC and include all
periodic events like statistics, register R/Ws etc under this debug.

Thanks,
Harish

Okay, we need to look into that if there is a way.

Yes, I think we should default it to INFO.
