1The Gianfar Ethernet Driver
2Sysfs File description
3
4Author: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com>
5Updated: 2005-07-28
6
7SYSFS
8
9Several of the features of the gianfar driver are controlled
10through sysfs files. These are:
11
12bd_stash:
13To stash RX Buffer Descriptors in the L2, echo 'on' or '1' to
14bd_stash, echo 'off' or '0' to disable
15
16rx_stash_len:
17To stash the first n bytes of the packet in L2, echo the number
18of bytes to buf_stash_len. echo 0 to disable.
19
20WARNING: You could really screw these up if you set them too low or high!
21fifo_threshold:
22To change the number of bytes the controller needs in the
23fifo before it starts transmission, echo the number of bytes to
24fifo_thresh. Range should be 0-511.
25
26fifo_starve:
27When the FIFO has less than this many bytes during a transmit, it
28enters starve mode, and increases the priority of TX memory
29transactions. To change, echo the number of bytes to
30fifo_starve. Range should be 0-511.
31
32fifo_starve_off:
33Once in starve mode, the FIFO remains there until it has this
34many bytes. To change, echo the number of bytes to
35fifo_starve_off. Range should be 0-511.
36
37CHECKSUM OFFLOADING
38
39The eTSEC controller (first included in parts from late 2005 like
40the 8548) has the ability to perform TCP, UDP, and IP checksums
41in hardware. The Linux kernel only offloads the TCP and UDP
42checksums (and always performs the pseudo header checksums), so
43the driver only supports checksumming for TCP/IP and UDP/IP
44packets. Use ethtool to enable or disable this feature for RX
45and TX.
46
47VLAN
48
49In order to use VLAN, please consult Linux documentation on
50configuring VLANs. The gianfar driver supports hardware insertion and
51extraction of VLAN headers, but not filtering. Filtering will be
52done by the kernel.
53
54MULTICASTING
55
56The gianfar driver supports using the group hash table on the
57TSEC (and the extended hash table on the eTSEC) for multicast
58filtering. On the eTSEC, the exact-match MAC registers are used
59before the hash tables. See Linux documentation on how to join
60multicast groups.
61
62PADDING
63
64The gianfar driver supports padding received frames with 2 bytes
65to align the IP header to a 16-byte boundary, when supported by
66hardware.
67
68ETHTOOL
69
70The gianfar driver supports the use of ethtool for many
71configuration options. You must run ethtool only on currently
72open interfaces. See ethtool documentation for details.

49ipfrag_max_dist - INTEGER
50 ipfrag_max_dist is a non-negative integer value which defines the
51 maximum "disorder" which is allowed among fragments which share a
52 common IP source address. Note that reordering of packets is
53 not unusual, but if a large number of fragments arrive from a source
54 IP address while a particular fragment queue remains incomplete, it
55 probably indicates that one or more fragments belonging to that queue
56 have been lost. When ipfrag_max_dist is positive, an additional check
57 is done on fragments before they are added to a reassembly queue - if
58 ipfrag_max_dist (or more) fragments have arrived from a particular IP
59 address between additions to any IP fragment queue using that source
60 address, it's presumed that one or more fragments in the queue are
61 lost. The existing fragment queue will be dropped, and a new one
62 started. An ipfrag_max_dist value of zero disables this check.
63
64 Using a very small value, e.g. 1 or 2, for ipfrag_max_dist can
65 result in unnecessarily dropping fragment queues when normal
66 reordering of packets occurs, which could lead to poor application
67 performance. Using a very large value, e.g. 50000, increases the
68 likelihood of incorrectly reassembling IP fragments that originate
69 from different IP datagrams, which could result in data corruption.
