+.Sh NAME
+.Nm cgem
+.Nd "Cadence GEM Gigabit Ethernet driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device ether"
+.Cd "device miibus"
+.Cd "device cgem"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the Cadence GEM (Gigabit Ethernet MAC).
+The Cadence GEM is used in some SoC (System on a Chip) devices such as
+the Xilinx Zynq-7000 and the Atmel SAMA5D3.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media types:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Cm 10baseT/UTP"
+.It Cm autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+The user can manually override
+the autoselected mode using
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+or by adding media options to
+.Xr rc.conf 5 .
+.It Cm 10baseT/UTP
+Set 10Mbps operation.
+The
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Cm mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Cm full-duplex
+or
+.Cm half-duplex
+modes.
+.It Cm 100baseTX
+Set 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) operation.
+The
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+.Cm mediaopt
+option can also be used to select either
+.Cm full-duplex
+or
+.Cm half-duplex
+modes.
+.It Cm 1000baseT
+Set 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) operation over twisted pair.
+The GEM supports 1000Mbps in
+.Cm full-duplex
+mode only.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Cm full-duplex"
+.It Cm full-duplex
+Force full-duplex operation.
+.It Cm half-duplex
+Force half-duplex operation.
+.El
+.Pp
+The driver provides support for TCP/UDP/IP checksum offloading (although
+disabled by default).
+The device and driver also support 1536-byte frames for VLANs (vlanmtu).
+.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
+The following variables are available as both
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variables and
+.Xr loader 8
+tunables:
+.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxxxx"
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d.rxbufs
+The number of receive buffers allocated to the hardware.
+The default value is 256.
+The maximum value is 511.
+If this number is increased while the interface is UP, it will not
+take effect until the next packet is received.
+If this number is decreased while the interface is UP, buffers will
+not be immediately removed from the receive buffer ring but the
+number of buffers will decrease as packets are received until it
+reaches the new value.
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d.rxhangwar
+This tunable enables a work-around to recover from receive hangs.
+The default value is 1.
+Set to 0 to disable the work-around.
+.El
+.Pp
+The following read-only variables are available as
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variables:
+.Bl -tag -width "xxxxxxxx"
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d._rxoverruns
+This variable counts the number of receive packet buffer overrun interrupts.
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d._rxnobufs
+This variable counts the number of interrupts due to the GEM buffer ring
+going empty.
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d._rxdmamapfails
+This variable is the number of times bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) failed in
+the receive path.
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d._txfull
+The number of times the GEM's transmit ring was full.
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d._txdmamapfails
+This variable is the number of times bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) failed in
+the transmit path.
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d._txdefrags
+This variable is the number of times the driver needed to call m_defrag(9)
+because a packet queued for transmit had too many DMA segments.
+.It Va dev.cgem.%d._txdefragfails
+This variable is the number of times
+.Xr m_defrag 9
+failed.

+.El
+.Sh BUGS
+The GEM can perform TCP/UDP/IP checksum offloading.
+However, when transmit checksum offloading is enabled, the GEM generates and
+replaces checksums for all packets it transmits.
+In a system that is forwarding packets, the device could potentially correct
+the checksum of packet that was corrupted in transit.
+For this reason, checksum offloading is disabled by default but can be
+enabled using ifconfig(8).
+.Pp
+When receive checksum offloading is enabled, the device will discard packets
+with bad TCP/UDP/IP checksums.
+The bad packets will not be counted in any
+.Xr netstat 1
+statistics.  There are
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variables that count
+packets discarded by the hardware (see below).
+.Pp
+The GEM used in the Zynq-7000 has a bug such that  the receiver can
+potentially freeze up under a high load.  The issue is described in sec. 16.7
+"Known Issues" of the Zynq-7000 SoC Technical Reference Manual (Xilinx
+UG585 v1.7).
+The
+.Nm
+driver implements the work-around suggested in the manual.
+If the bug does not exist in other versions of this device, the
+work-around can be disabled by setting the dev.cgem.%d.rxhangwar
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variable to 0.
