Mellanox ConnectX/X2/X3 OFED module for FreeBSD 11.x

Mon Nov 28 06:00:37 UTC 2016

Hi,

Not sure how did you reach that conclusion.

We have an updated 11.x inbox driver for ConnectX-3 under /sys/ofed/

Eth: /sys/ofed/drivers/net/mlx4

InfiniBand: /sys/ofed/drivers/infiniband/..

We have recently (12-CURRENT) moved the ConnectX-3 driver to /sys/dev

We'll be happy to assist in case you have more questions.

Subject: Mellanox ConnectX/X2/X3 OFED module for FreeBSD 11.x

Mellanox has no driver for cards earlier than ConnectX4 available for FreeBSD 11.x at the moment.

What I have right now is a quick hack to get the 2.1.6 driver for 10.1 to compile and work under 11.0. It needs some polishing, but it does work. I didn't do anything for the InfiniBand side, only the Ethernet/core.

For anyone looking to run these cards under FreeBSD 11.0, this should work at the least in the interim. The only non-functional part under 11.0-release-p1 are the counters available through sysctl (hw.mlxenX.stat) for packet sizes ie in_gt_1548.

Hopefully this is the right place to send this.

Is there a reason the OFED drivers aren't in-tree? They are dual-licensed under GPL and BSD.

Thanks,

Frank DiMitri
