30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm mlx5io
33.Nd IOCTL interface to manage Connect-X 4/5 Mellanox network adapters
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In dev/mlx5/mlx5io.h
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39interface is provided for management of the Connect-X 4 and 5 network adapters
40in the aspects not covered by the generic network configuration,
41mostly related to the PCIe attachment and internal card working.
42Interface consists of the commands, which are passed by means of
43.Xr ioctl 2
44on the file descriptor, opened from the
45.Pa /dev/mlx5ctl
46device node.
47.Pp
48The following commands are implemented:
49.Bl -tag -width indent
50.It Dv MLX5_FWDUMP_FORCE
51Take the snapshot of the firmware registers state and store it in the
52kernel buffer.
53The buffer must be empty, in other words, no dumps should be written so
54far, or existing dump cleared with the
55.Dv MLX5_FWDUMP_RESET
56command for the specified device.
57The argument for the command should point to the
58.Vt struct mlx5_fwdump_addr
59structure, containing the PCIe bus address of the device.
60.Bd -literal
61struct mlx5_fwdump_addr {
62	uint32_t domain;
63	uint8_t bus;
64	uint8_t slot;
65	uint8_t func;
66};
67.Ed
68.It Dv MLX5_FWDUMP_RESET
69Clear the stored firmware dump, preparing the kernel buffer for
70the next dump.
71The argument for the command should point to the
72.Vt struct mlx5_fwdump_addr
73structure, containing the PCIe bus address of the device.
74.It Dv MLX5_FWDUMP_GET
75Fetch the stored firmware dump into the user memory.
76The argument to the command should point to the input/output
77.Vt struct mlx5_fwdump_get
78structure.
79Its
80.Dv devaddr
81field specifies the address of the device, the
82.Dv buf
83fields points to the array of
84.Vt struct mlx5_fwdump_reg
85of records of the registers values, the size of the array is specified
86in the
87.Dv reg_cnt
88field.
89.Bd -literal
90struct mlx5_fwdump_get {
91	struct mlx5_fwdump_addr devaddr;
92	struct mlx5_fwdump_reg *buf;
93	size_t reg_cnt;
94	size_t reg_filled; /* out */
95};
96.Ed
97.Pp
98On successfull return, the
99.Dv reg_filled
100field reports the number of the
101.Dv buf
102array elements actually filled with the registers values.
103If
104.Dv buf
105contains the
106.Dv NULL
107pointer, no registers are filled, but
108.Dv reg_filled
109still contains the number of registers that should be passed for
110the complete dump.
111.Pp
112The
113.Vt struct mlx5_fwdump_reg
114element contains the address of the register in the field
115.Dv addr ,
116and its value in the field
117.Dv val .
118.Bd -literal
119struct mlx5_fwdump_reg {
120	uint32_t addr;
121	uint32_t val;
122};
123.Ed
124.El
125.Sh FILES
126The
127.Pa /dev/mlx5ctl
128.Xr devfs 5
129node is used to pass commands to the driver.
130.Sh RETURN VALUES
131If successful, the IOCTL returns zero.
132Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable
133.Va errno
134is set to indicate the error.
