33.Sh INTERFACE LEVEL
34.Sy Uncommitted -
35This interface is still evolving.
36API and ABI stability is not guaranteed.
37.Sh PARAMETERS
38.Bl -tag -width Fa
39.It Fa driver
40A pointer to the driver's private data that was passed in via the
41.Fa m_pdata
42member of the
43.Xr mac_register 9S
44structure to the
45.Xr mac_register 9F
46function.
47.It Fa group_index
48An integer value indicating the group that this ring belongs to.
49Groups are numbered starting from zero.
50.It Fa rtype
51A value indicating the type of ring.
52Valid values include:
53.Bl -tag -width Dv
54.It Dv MAC_RING_TYPE_RX
55The ring is a receive ring.
56.It Dv MAC_RING_TYPE_TX
57The ring is a transmit ring.
58.El
59.It Fa ring_index
60An integer indicating the index of the ring inside of the group.
61Ring indexes are numbered starting from zero.
62Each group has its own set of ring indexes.
63.It Fa infop
64A pointer to an instance of a
65.Xr mac_ring_info 9S
66structure.
67.It Fa rh
68An opaque pointer to a ring handle that can be used to identify this
69ring.
70.El
71.Sh DESCRIPTION
72The
73.Fn mr_rget
74entry point provides a means for the device driver to fill in
75information about a ring.
76The driver must fill in information into the
77.Fa infop
78argument.
79For the list of fields and an explanation of how to fill them in, please
80see
81.Xr mac_ring_info 9S .
82.Pp
83The
84.Fa rtype
85argument describes whether this is a receive ring or transmit ring
86identified by a value of
87.Dv MAC_RING_TYPE_RX
88or
89.Dv MAC_RING_TYPE_TX
90respectively.
91The ring information that is filled in varies between transmit and
92receive rings.
93If separate entry points were not specified in the
94.Xr mac_capab_rings 9E
95structure, then the driver
96must ensure that it checks this value.
97.Pp
98The
99.Fa group_index
100and
101.Fa ring_index
102arguments are used to uniquely identify a ring.
103The number of groups that a driver supports is based on the values
104present in the
105.Fa mr_gnum
106member of the
107.Vt mac_capab_rings_t
108structure which is described in
109.Xr mac_capab_rings 9E .
110The group index ranges from zero to the specified number of groups minus
111one.
112The number of rings in the group is determined based on the values
113specified in
114.Xr mac_group_info 9S
115structure that is filled in during the
116.Xr mr_gget 9E
117entry point.
118The ring numbering for each group is independent and always starts at
119zero.
120Based on the combination of group and ring index, the driver should be
121able to map that to a unique ring.
122.Pp
123After filling out the ring structure in
124.Fa infop ,
125the driver should make sure to store the ring handle in
126.Fa rh
127for future use.
128This is required for callbacks such as
129.Xr mac_rx_ring 9F
130or
131.Xr mac_tx_ring_update 9F .
132.Sh CONTEXT
133The
134.Fn mr_rget
135entry point will be called in response to a driver calling the
136.Xr mac_register 9F
137function and the driver has acknowledged that it supports the
138.Dv MAC_CAPAB_RINGS
139capability.
140This will be called after a call to the driver's
141.Xr mr_gget 9E
142entry point.
