Description:
(WO) This attribute is used to perform an operation on an SLA.
The supported operations are: add, update, rm, rm_all, and get.
Input values must be filled through the associated attribute in
this group before a write to this file.
If the operation completes successfully, the associated
attributes will be updated.
The associated attributes are: cir, pir, srv, rp, and id.
Supported operations:
* add: Creates a new SLA with the provided inputs from user.
* Inputs: cir, pir, srv, and rp
* Output: id
* get: Returns the configuration of the specified SLA in id attribute
* Inputs: id
* Outputs: cir, pir, srv, and rp
* update: Updates the SLA with new values set in the following attributes
* Inputs: id, cir, and pir
* rm: Removes the specified SLA in the id attribute.
* Inputs: id
* rm_all: Removes all the configured SLAs.
* Inputs: None
This attribute is only available for qat_4xxx devices.

KernelVersion: 6.7
Contact: [email protected]
Description:
(RW) When read, reports the current assigned ring pairs for the
queried SLA.
When wrote to, configures the ring pairs associated to a new SLA.
The value is a 64-bit bit mask and is written/displayed in hex.
Each bit of this mask represents a single ring pair i.e.,
bit 1 == ring pair id 0; bit 3 == ring pair id 2.
Selected ring pairs must to be assigned to a single service,
i.e. the one provided with the srv attribute. The service
assigned to a certain ring pair can be checked by querying
the attribute qat/rp2srv.
The maximum number of ring pairs is 4 per SLA.
Applicability in sla_op:
* WRITE: add operation
* READ: get operation
Example usage::
## Read
# echo 4 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/id
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/rp
0x5
## Write
# echo 0x5 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/rp

Description:
(RW) If written to, the value is used to retrieve a particular
SLA and operate on it.
This is valid only for the following operations: update, rm,
and get.
A read of this attribute is only guaranteed to have correct data
after creation of an SLA.
Applicability in sla_op:
* WRITE: rm and update operations
* READ: add and get operations
Example usage::
## Read
## Set attributes e.g. cir, pir, srv, etc
# echo "add" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/sla_op
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/id
4
## Write
# echo 7 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/id
# echo "get" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/sla_op
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/rp

Date: January 2024
KernelVersion: 6.7
Contact: [email protected]
Description:
(RW) Committed information rate (CIR). Rate guaranteed to be
achieved by a particular SLA. The value is expressed in
permille scale, i.e. 1000 refers to the maximum device
throughput for a selected service.
After sending a "get" to sla_op, this will be populated with the
CIR for that queried SLA.
Write to this file before sending an "add/update" sla_op, to set
the SLA to the specified value.
Applicability in sla_op:
* WRITE: add and update operations
* READ: get operation
Example usage::
## Write
# echo 500 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/cir
# echo "add" /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/sla_op
## Read
# echo 4 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/id
# echo "get" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/sla_op
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/cir

Date: January 2024
KernelVersion: 6.7
Contact: [email protected]
Description:
(RW) Peak information rate (PIR). The maximum rate that can be
achieved by that particular SLA. An SLA can reach a value
between CIR and PIR when the device is not fully utilized by
requests from other users (assigned to different SLAs).
After sending a "get" to sla_op, this will be populated with the
PIR for that queried SLA.
Write to this file before sending an "add/update" sla_op, to set
the SLA to the specified value.
Applicability in sla_op:
* WRITE: add and update operations
* READ: get operation
Example usage::
## Write
# echo 750 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/pir
# echo "add" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/sla_op
## Read
# echo 4 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/id
# echo "get" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/sla_op
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/pir

KernelVersion: 6.7
Contact: [email protected]
Description:
(RW) Service (SRV). Represents the service (sym, asym, dc)
associated to an SLA.
Can be written to or queried to set/show the SRV type for an SLA.
The SRV attribute is used to specify the SRV type before adding
an SLA. After an SLA is configured, reports the service
associated to that SLA.
Applicability in sla_op:
* WRITE: add and update operations
* READ: get operation
Example usage::
## Write
# echo "dc" > /sys/bus/pci/devices/<BDF>/qat_rl/srv

Description:
(RW) This file will return the remaining capability for a
particular service/sla. This is the remaining value that a new
SLA can be set to or a current SLA can be increased with.
