+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+
+The driver in this release is compatible with AQC-100, AQC-107, AQC-108
+based ethernet adapters.
+
+
+SFP+ Devices (for AQC-100 based adapters)
+-----------------------------------------
+
+This release tested with passive Direct Attach Cables (DAC) and SFP+/LC
+Optical Transceiver.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+Viewing Link Messages
+---------------------
+ Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is
+ restricting system messages. In order to see network driver link messages on
+ your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following::
+
+ dmesg -n 8
+
+ .. note::
+
+ This setting is not saved across reboots.
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+ The driver supports Jumbo Frames for all adapters. Jumbo Frames support is
+ enabled by changing the MTU to a value larger than the default of 1500.
+ The maximum value for the MTU is 16000. Use the `ip` command to
+ increase the MTU size. For example::
+
+ ip link set mtu 16000 dev enp1s0
+
+ethtool
+-------
+ The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for driver configuration and
+ diagnostics, as well as displaying statistical information. The latest
+ ethtool version is required for this functionality.
+
+NAPI
+----
+ NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the atlantic driver.

+
+ By default, the level of debugging messages is set 0x0001(general driver status).
+
+ Check message level
+

+
+ ethtool <ethX> | grep "Current message level"
+
+ If you want to disable the output of messages::
+
+ ethtool -s <ethX> msglvl 0
+
+RX flow rules (ntuple filters)
+------------------------------
+
+ There are separate rules supported, that applies in that order:
+
+ 1. 16 VLAN ID rules
+ 2. 16 L2 EtherType rules
+ 3. 8 L3/L4 5-Tuple rules
+
+
+ The driver utilizes the ethtool interface for configuring ntuple filters,
+ via ``ethtool -N <device> <filter>``.
+
+ To enable or disable the RX flow rules::
+
+ ethtool -K ethX ntuple <on|off>
+
+ When disabling ntuple filters, all the user programed filters are
+ flushed from the driver cache and hardware. All needed filters must
+ be re-added when ntuple is re-enabled.
+
+ Because of the fixed order of the rules, the location of filters is also fixed:
+
+ - Locations 0 - 15 for VLAN ID filters
+ - Locations 16 - 31 for L2 EtherType filters
+ - Locations 32 - 39 for L3/L4 5-tuple filters (locations 32, 36 for IPv6)
+
+ The L3/L4 5-tuple (protocol, source and destination IP address, source and
+ destination TCP/UDP/SCTP port) is compared against 8 filters. For IPv4, up to
+ 8 source and destination addresses can be matched. For IPv6, up to 2 pairs of
+ addresses can be supported. Source and destination ports are only compared for
+ TCP/UDP/SCTP packets.
+
+ To add a filter that directs packet to queue 5, use
+ ``<-N|-U|--config-nfc|--config-ntuple>`` switch::
+
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type udp4 src-ip 10.0.0.1 dst-ip 10.0.0.2 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 action 5 <loc 32>
+
+ - action is the queue number.
+ - loc is the rule number.
+
+ For ``flow-type ip4|udp4|tcp4|sctp4|ip6|udp6|tcp6|sctp6`` you must set the loc
+ number within 32 - 39.
+ For ``flow-type ip4|udp4|tcp4|sctp4|ip6|udp6|tcp6|sctp6`` you can set 8 rules
+ for traffic IPv4 or you can set 2 rules for traffic IPv6. Loc number traffic
+ IPv6 is 32 and 36.
+ At the moment you can not use IPv4 and IPv6 filters at the same time.
+
+ Example filter for IPv6 filter traffic::
+
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type tcp6 src-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::1 dst-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::2 action 1 loc 32
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip6 src-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::2 dst-ip 2001:db8:0:f101::5 action -1 loc 36
+
+ Example filter for IPv4 filter traffic::
+
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type udp4 src-ip 10.0.0.4 dst-ip 10.0.0.7 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 loc 32
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type tcp4 src-ip 10.0.0.3 dst-ip 10.0.0.9 src-port 2000 dst-port 2001 loc 33
+ sudo ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip4 src-ip 10.0.0.6 dst-ip 10.0.0.4 loc 34
+
+ If you set action -1, then all traffic corresponding to the filter will be discarded.
+
+ The maximum value action is 31.
+
+
+ The VLAN filter (VLAN id) is compared against 16 filters.
+ VLAN id must be accompanied by mask 0xF000. That is to distinguish VLAN filter
+ from L2 Ethertype filter with UserPriority since both User Priority and VLAN ID
+ are passed in the same 'vlan' parameter.
+
+ To add a filter that directs packets from VLAN 2001 to queue 5::
+
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ip4 vlan 2001 m 0xF000 action 1 loc 0
+
+
+ L2 EtherType filters allows filter packet by EtherType field or both EtherType
+ and User Priority (PCP) field of 802.1Q.
+ UserPriority (vlan) parameter must be accompanied by mask 0x1FFF. That is to
+ distinguish VLAN filter from L2 Ethertype filter with UserPriority since both
+ User Priority and VLAN ID are passed in the same 'vlan' parameter.
+
+ To add a filter that directs IP4 packess of priority 3 to queue 3::
+
+ ethtool -N <ethX> flow-type ether proto 0x800 vlan 0x600 m 0x1FFF action 3 loc 16
+
+ To see the list of filters currently present::
+
+ ethtool <-u|-n|--show-nfc|--show-ntuple> <ethX>
+
+ Rules may be deleted from the table itself. This is done using::
+
+ sudo ethtool <-N|-U|--config-nfc|--config-ntuple> <ethX> delete <loc>
+
+ - loc is the rule number to be deleted.
+
+ Rx filters is an interface to load the filter table that funnels all flow
+ into queue 0 unless an alternative queue is specified using "action". In that
+ case, any flow that matches the filter criteria will be directed to the
+ appropriate queue. RX filters is supported on all kernels 2.6.30 and later.
+
+RSS for UDP
+-----------
+
+ Currently, NIC does not support RSS for fragmented IP packets, which leads to
+ incorrect working of RSS for fragmented UDP traffic. To disable RSS for UDP the
+ RX Flow L3/L4 rule may be used.
+
+ Example::
+
+ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 action 0 loc 32
+
+UDP GSO hardware offload
+------------------------
+
+ UDP GSO allows to boost UDP tx rates by offloading UDP headers allocation
+ into hardware. A special userspace socket option is required for this,
+ could be validated with /kernel/tools/testing/selftests/net/::
+
+ udpgso_bench_tx -u -4 -D 10.0.1.1 -s 6300 -S 100
+
+ Will cause sending out of 100 byte sized UDP packets formed from single
+ 6300 bytes user buffer.
+
+ UDP GSO is configured by::
+
+ ethtool -K eth0 tx-udp-segmentation on
+
+Private flags (testing)
+-----------------------
+
+ Atlantic driver supports private flags for hardware custom features::
+
+ $ ethtool --show-priv-flags ethX
+
+ Private flags for ethX:
+ DMASystemLoopback : off
+ PKTSystemLoopback : off
+ DMANetworkLoopback : off
+ PHYInternalLoopback: off
+ PHYExternalLoopback: off
+
+ Example::
+
+ $ ethtool --set-priv-flags ethX DMASystemLoopback on
+
+ DMASystemLoopback: DMA Host loopback.
+ PKTSystemLoopback: Packet buffer host loopback.
+ DMANetworkLoopback: Network side loopback on DMA block.
+ PHYInternalLoopback: Internal loopback on Phy.
+ PHYExternalLoopback: External loopback on Phy (with loopback ethernet cable).
+
+
+Command Line Parameters
+=======================
+The following command line parameters are available on atlantic driver:
+
+aq_itr -Interrupt throttling mode
+---------------------------------
+Accepted values: 0, 1, 0xFFFF
+
+Default value: 0xFFFF
+
+====== ==============================================================
+0 Disable interrupt throttling.
+1 Enable interrupt throttling and use specified tx and rx rates.
+0xFFFF Auto throttling mode. Driver will choose the best RX and TX
+ interrupt throtting settings based on link speed.
+====== ==============================================================
+
+aq_itr_tx - TX interrupt throttle rate
+--------------------------------------
+
+Accepted values: 0 - 0x1FF
+
+Default value: 0
+
+TX side throttling in microseconds. Adapter will setup maximum interrupt delay
+to this value. Minimum interrupt delay will be a half of this value
+
+aq_itr_rx - RX interrupt throttle rate
+--------------------------------------
+
+Accepted values: 0 - 0x1FF
+
+Default value: 0
+
+RX side throttling in microseconds. Adapter will setup maximum interrupt delay
+to this value. Minimum interrupt delay will be a half of this value
+
+.. note::
+
+ ITR settings could be changed in runtime by ethtool -c means (see below)
+
+Config file parameters
+======================
+
+For some fine tuning and performance optimizations,
+some parameters can be changed in the {source_dir}/aq_cfg.h file.
+
+AQ_CFG_RX_PAGEORDER
+-------------------
+
+Default value: 0
+
+RX page order override. Thats a power of 2 number of RX pages allocated for
+each descriptor. Received descriptor size is still limited by
+AQ_CFG_RX_FRAME_MAX.
+
+Increasing pageorder makes page reuse better (actual on iommu enabled systems).
+
+AQ_CFG_RX_REFILL_THRES
+----------------------
+
+Default value: 32
+
+RX refill threshold. RX path will not refill freed descriptors until the
+specified number of free descriptors is observed. Larger values may help
+better page reuse but may lead to packet drops as well.
+
+AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF
+---------------
+
+Number of queues
+
+Valid Range: 0 - 8 (up to AQ_CFG_VECS_MAX)
+
+Default value: 8
+
+Notice this value will be capped by the number of cores available on the system.
+
+AQ_CFG_IS_RSS_DEF
+-----------------
+
+Enable/disable Receive Side Scaling
+
+This feature allows the adapter to distribute receive processing
+across multiple CPU-cores and to prevent from overloading a single CPU core.
+
+Valid values
+
+== ========
+0 disabled
+1 enabled
+== ========
+
+Default value: 1
+
+AQ_CFG_NUM_RSS_QUEUES_DEF
+-------------------------
+
+Number of queues for Receive Side Scaling
+
+Valid Range: 0 - 8 (up to AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF)
+
+Default value: AQ_CFG_VECS_DEF
+
+AQ_CFG_IS_LRO_DEF
+-----------------
+
+Enable/disable Large Receive Offload
+
+This offload enables the adapter to coalesce multiple TCP segments and indicate
+them as a single coalesced unit to the OS networking subsystem.
+
+The system consumes less energy but it also introduces more latency in packets
+processing.
+
+Valid values
+
+== ========
+0 disabled
+1 enabled
+== ========
+
+Default value: 1
+
+AQ_CFG_TX_CLEAN_BUDGET
+----------------------
+
+Maximum descriptors to cleanup on TX at once.
+
+Default value: 256
+
+After the aq_cfg.h file changed the driver must be rebuilt to take effect.
