I don't care about whether there's a generic API right now. I'd rather see it done as a staged thing, but _not_ sysctls.
Having sysctls to add/remove entries from things is just plain evil. I'd rather instead come up with a device specific ioctl API for this for now w/ a userland tool for each particular chip. Then once we all get a bit more experience doing this, a unified API can be proposed. -adrian On 27 September 2013 01:49, Takuya ASADA <s...@dokukino.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I think there were many comment which says "don't use device specific > sysctls, we should have more generic interface to configure NIC filter, > like Linux's ethtool". > And I heard same idea in last BSDCan, but there's still no proposal of > "generic interface for NIC filter", I suppose. > So, honestly I haven't good idea to merge the change. > Is there any people who has good idea to handle this? > > Or, just merge this patch would be fine? > > > 2013/9/27 hiren panchasara <hiren.panchas...@gmail.com> > > > > > > > > > On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 10:38 AM, hiren panchasara < > > hiren.panchas...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >> > >> > >> > >> On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 12:58 AM, Michio Honda <micc...@outlook.com > >wrote: > >> > >>> Hi, > >>> > >>> The handiest way to try flexible flow distribution is using Flow > >>> Director. > >>> I've confirmed that the patch posted to this list two years ago works > >>> with netmap/ixgbe. > >>> > >>> > http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Adding-Flow-Director-sysctls-to-ixgbe-4-td4769489.html > >>> > >> > >> Thanks a lot for the link, Michio! > >> > >> It seems this work is yet not committed?!? > >> > > > > Takuya, > > > > I see a lot of responses/comments on proposed changes.
