Commit 717bc436 introduced MSI-X support via
pci_allocate_interrupt_vector but called it as a method on
PciFunction (.pci_allocate_interrupt_vector(1)), which doesn't
exist. The function is actually a free function in
pcid_interface::irq_helpers, matching the pattern used by e1000d,
rtl8139d, rtl8139d, and ihdad.
Fix: add the import and change the call to match e1000d's pattern:
pci_allocate_interrupt_vector(&mut pcid_handle, "ixgbed")
This unblocks the base cook for all targets.
ixgbed (a.k.a. ixy.rs on Redox)
ixgbed is the Redox port of ixy.rs, a Rust rewrite of the ixy userspace network driver.
It is designed to be readable, idiomatic Rust code.
It supports Intel 82599 10GbE NICs (ixgbe family).
Features
- first 10 Gbit/s network driver on Redox
- transmitting 250 times faster than e1000 / rtl8168 driver
- MSI-X interrupts (not supported by Redox yet)
- less than 1000 lines of code for the driver
- documented code
Build instructions
See the Redox README for build instructions.
To run ixgbed on Redox (in case the driver is not shipped with Redox anymore)
- clone this project into
cookbook/recipes/drivers/source/ - create an entry for ixgbed in
cookbook/recipes/drivers/source/Cargo.toml - check if your ixgbe device is included in
config.toml - touch
filesystem.tomlin Redox's root directory, build Redox and run it
Usage
To test the driver's transmit and forwarding capabilities, have a look at rheinfall, a simple packet generator / forwarder application.
