   rxe    ( 7 )

программное обеспечение RDMA через Ethernet (Software RDMA over Ethernet)

Имя (Name)

rxe - Software RDMA over Ethernet

Синопсис (Synopsis)

modprobe rdma_rxe
       This is usually performed by a configuration utility (see rdma
       link(8).)

Описание (Description)

The rdma_rxe kernel module provides a software implementation of
       the RoCEv2 protocol. The RoCEv2 protocol is an RDMA transport
       protocol that exists on top of UDP/IPv4 or UDP/IPv6. The
       InfiniBand (IB) Base Transport Header (BTH) is encapsulated in
       the UDP packet.

Once a RXE instance has been created, communicating via RXE is the same as communicating via any OFED compatible Infiniband HCA, albeit in some cases with addressing implications.

In particular, while the use of a GRH header is optional within IB subnets, it is mandatory with RoCE. Verbs applications written over IB verbs should work seamlessly, but they require provisioning of GRH information when creating address vectors. The library and driver are modified to provide for mapping from GID to MAC addresses required by the hardware.


Файлы (Files)

/sys/class/infiniband/rxe[0,1,...]
              Directory that holds RDMA device information. The format
              is the same as other RDMA devices.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe_net/parameters/mtu Write only file used to configure RoCE and Ethernet MTU values.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_ucontext Read/Write file that sets a limit on the number of UCs allowed per RXE device.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_qp Read/Write file that sets a limit on the number of QPs allowed per RXE device.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_qp_wr Read/Write file that sets a limit on the number of WRs per QP allowed per RXE device.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_mr Read/Write file that sets a limit on the number of MRs allowed per RXE device.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_fmr Read/Write file that sets a limit on the number of FMRs allowed per RXE device.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_cq Read/Write file that sets a limit on the number of CQs allowed per RXE device.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_log_cqe Read/Write file that sets a limit on the log base 2 of the number of CQEs per CQ allowed per RXE device.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_inline_data Read/Write file that sets a limit on the maximum amount of inline data per WR allowed per RXE device.

The above configuration parameters only affect a new RXE instance when it is created not afterwards.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/crc_disable Read/Write file that controls the disabling of ICRC computation. Set to a nonzero value for TRUE. Zero for FALSE.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/fast_comp|req|resp|arb Read/Write file that enables calling kernel tasklets as subroutines to reduce latency.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/nsec_per_packet|kbyte Read/Write file that controls static rate pacing for output packets. If set to nonzero values the minimum delay to the next packet is set to nsec_per_kbyte * sizeof(current packet in KBytes) or nsec_per_packet which ever is less.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_packet_per_ack Read/Write file that controls the issuing of acks by the responder during a long message. If set additional acks will be generated every max_pkt_per_ack packets.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_skb_per_qp Read/Write file that controls the number of skbs (packets) that a requester can queue for sending internally.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/max_req_comp_gap Read/Write file that controls the maximum gap between the PSN of request packets send and ack packets received.

/sys/module/rdma_rxe/parameters/default_mtu Read/Write file that controls the default mtu used for UD packets.
