Sapphire Rapids QAT Support?
-
The qat module loads as expected at the CLI?
-
@stephenw10 Correct, I triple checked. Perhaps it's a GUI display issue or, and I'm not 100% sure on this, do I need to disable IPSec-MB?

Nope it should still show as available in the CPU. Probably the pfSense GUI code just needs to catch up with the driver.
Does it automatically load the correct firmware? You shouldn't need the qat_c2xxx module for example so I assume you manually loaded that during testing?

Add a feature request to track: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15233

@stephenw10 I believe I did, or at least I presume that would happen with 'kldload qat' when I was testing things out.
Right now I'm on Proxmox 8 and have the pfsense VM CPU set to host which I believe is probably the best way to get it to see everything from the host CPU but if that's wrong let me know there.
-
The QAT device is actually a separate PCI device rather than something in the CPU directly (like AES-NI). You would need to pass it through to the guest VM in order to use it there.
-
@stephenw10 Cool, yah I was looking back and realized I did have to do that in Proxmox. I tried undoing some stuff earlier and needed to get back to the working state again I showed prior. I wasn't sure since it's built into the CPU and some other discussions had me questioning if it really needed PCIe passthrough since it's technically in the 5416S.
After passing it through with:qm set [VM ID] -hostpci2 0000:f7:00,pcie=1I still had to do kldload qat to get pfsense to load the drivers after rebooting pfsense with the passthrough.
Once I did do that though I saw what I posted earlier. -
Full logs after a reboot of pfsense before and after kldload:

Hmm, interesting that actually appears to be a QAT 401xx device:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/devel-main/sys/dev/qat/include/common/adf_accel_devices.h#L38 -
@stephenw10 That is interesting, everything I saw referenced 4xxx on Intel's side so I never even thought about that.

Yup, looks like it just groups them together as a gen4 devices.
