+<p class="Pp">The <code class="Nm">nvmf_che</code> module implements the a
+ TCP/IP transport for NVM Express over Fabrics using PDU offload on Chelsio
+ T7 adapters. It can be used by either the in-kernel NVMeoF host driver or
+ controller. In order to use PDU offload, the initial socket connection must
+ be using the TCP offload engine (TOE) on a supported network interface. In
+ addition, controller connections must negotiate a suitable
+ <code class="Dv">MAXH2CDATA</code> limit to ensure that received PDUs do not
+ exceeed the maximum size supported by the adapter.</p>

+<p class="Pp">The following variables are available as both

+<dl class="Bl-tag">
+ <dt id="kern.nvmf.che.max_transmit_pdu"><var class="Va">kern.nvmf.che.max_transmit_pdu</var></dt>
+ <dd>The maximum size of a transmitted PDU including all headers, payload, and
+ checksums. This is an upper limit enforced when queues are created.
+ Individual adapters may empose a smaller limit. The default size is 32
+ kilobytes.</dd>
+ <dt id="kern.nvmf.che.max_receive_pdu"><var class="Va">kern.nvmf.che.max_receive_pdu</var></dt>
+ <dd>As above, but for received PDUs.</dd>

+ <dd>Enable the use of a S/G list for large writes into adapter memory when
+ writing control structures for DDP (not used for PDU payload data). S/G
+ lists are enabled by default.</dd>
+ <dt id="kern.nvmf.che.inline_threshold"><var class="Va">kern.nvmf.che.inline_threshold</var></dt>
+ <dd>Writes of control structures into adapter memory use a S/G list instead of
+ immediate data placed in work requests. The default threshold is 256
+ bytes.</dd>
+ <dt id="kern.nvmf.che.ddp_tags_per_qp"><var class="Va">kern.nvmf.che.ddp_tags_per_qp</var></dt>
+ <dd>The number of STAGs reserved for use by DDP buffers for each queue pair.
+ Each command sent on a queue that requests data from the remote peer can
+ use DDP to place received data directly into the associated data buffer.
+ Each buffer requires a STAG to enable DDP. If an STAG is not available
+ when command requesting remote data is sent, the data will be received in
+ free list buffers and copied into the data buffer by the driver instead.
+ The default size is 256 kilobytes.</dd>
