I have a dual port igb card:
igb0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 82576> port 0x2020-0x203f mem 0xd1020000-0xd103ffff,0xd0c00000-0xd0ffffff,0xd1044000-0xd1047fff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3
igb0: Using 1024 TX descriptors and 1024 RX descriptors
igb0: Using 4 RX queues 4 TX queues
igb0: Using MSI-X interrupts with 5 vectors
igb0: Ethernet address: xxxx
igb0: netmap queues/slots: TX 4/1024, RX 4/1024
igb1: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 82576> port 0x2000-0x201f mem 0xd1000000-0xd101ffff,0xd0800000-0xd0bfffff,0xd1040000-0xd1043fff irq 18 at device 0.1 on pci3
igb1: Using 1024 TX descriptors and 1024 RX descriptors
igb1: Using 4 RX queues 4 TX queues
igb1: Using MSI-X interrupts with 5 vectors
igb1: Ethernet address: xxxx
igb1: netmap queues/slots: TX 4/1024, RX 4/1024
And I have observed an issue with it when adjusting flow control, it
seems to adjust both ports at the same time:
# sysctl dev.igb.0.fc
dev.igb.0.fc: 3
# sysctl dev.igb.1.fc
dev.igb.1.fc: 3
# sysctl dev.igb.0.fc=0
dev.igb.0.fc: 3 -> 0
# sysctl dev.igb.1.fc
dev.igb.1.fc: 0
Is this correct behavior?
Also, the fc sysctl is not documented, I propose the following:
diff --git a/share/man/man4/em.4 b/share/man/man4/em.4
index a1fa22c..bad82e9 100644
