DESCRIPTION
devlink sb show - display available shared buffers and their attributes
DEV - specifies the devlink device to show shared buffers. If this
argument is omitted all shared buffers of all devices are listed.
SB_INDEX - specifies the shared buffer. If this argument is omitted
shared buffer with index 0 is selected. Behaviour of this argument it
the same for every command.
devlink sb pool show - display available pools and their attributes
DEV - specifies the devlink device to show pools. If this argument is
omitted all pools of all devices are listed.
devlink sb pool set - set attributes of pool
DEV - specifies the devlink device to set pool.
size POOL_SIZE
size of the pool in Bytes.
thtype { static | dynamic }
pool threshold type.
static - Threshold values for the pool will be passed in Bytes.
dynamic - Threshold values ("to_alpha") for the pool will be
used to compute alpha parameter according to formula:
alpha = 2 ^ (to_alpha - 10)
The range of the passed value is between 0 to 20. The
computed alpha is used to determine the maximum usage
of the flow:
max_usage = alpha / (1 + alpha) * Free_Buffer
devlink sb port pool show - display port-pool combinations and threshold
for each
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port.
pool POOL_INDEX
pool index.
devlink sb port pool set - set port-pool threshold
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port.
pool POOL_INDEX
pool index.
th THRESHOLD
threshold value. Type of the value is either Bytes or
"to_alpha", depends on thtype set for the pool.
devlink sb tc bind show - display port-TC to pool bindings and threshold
for each
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port.
tc TC_INDEX
index of either ingress or egress TC, usually in range 0 to 8
(depends on device).
type { ingress | egress }
TC type.
devlink sb tc bind set - set port-TC to pool binding with specified thresh‐
old
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port.
tc TC_INDEX
index of either ingress or egress TC, usually in range 0 to 8
(depends on device).
type { ingress | egress }
TC type.
pool POOL_INDEX
index of pool to bind this to.
th THRESHOLD
threshold value. Type of the value is either Bytes or
"to_alpha", depends on thtype set for the pool.
devlink sb occupancy show - display shared buffer occupancy values for
device or port
This command is used to browse shared buffer occupancy values. Values
are showed for every port-pool combination as well as for all port-TC
combinations (with pool this port-TC is bound to). Format of value is:
current_value/max_value
Note that before showing values, one has to issue command first.
DEV - specifies the devlink device to show occupancy values for.
DEV/PORT_INDEX - specifies the devlink port to show occupancy values
for.
devlink sb occupancy snapshot - take occupancy snapshot of shared buffer
for device
This command is used to take a snapshot of shared buffer occupancy val‐
ues. After that, the values can be showed using occupancy show command.
DEV - specifies the devlink device to take occupancy snapshot on.
devlink sb occupancy clearmax - clear occupancy watermarks of shared buffer
for device
This command is used to reset maximal occupancy values reached for
whole device. Note that before browsing reset values, one has to issue
occupancy snapshot command.
DEV - specifies the devlink device to clear occupancy watermarks on.
