This project aims to add support for the LiquidIO family + of high-performance programmable accellerator 10/40-gigabit + Ethernet network adapters. The currently developed kernel driver + supports CN6640- and CN6880-based PCIe cards, enabling the + following features:

+ +

A CNNIC API for controlling/interacting with the smart NIC + from user and kernel space including: +
- Handling multiple concurrent applications running on the + same device
- Request/reply mechanism for (a)synchronous + ordered/unordered communication
- Remote memory operations
- Device shutdown/reset
+
A basic NIC module utilizing the CNNIC API and a + Cavium-provided NIC firmware. This module provides: +
- Single/multi-queue TX
- Hardware TCP/UDP checksum offloading
- Large Receive Offload
- Promiscous mode
+
Sysctl-based device statistics and configuration view
Custom firmware loading via user-built modules and + &os;'s firmware(9) mechanism.

+ +

The project is currently being developed in house and is + currently being prepared for upstream. We plan on making it + available in &os; 11.
