- Stateful TCP offload drivers for Terminator 3 and 4 (T3 and T4) ASICs.
These are available as t3_tom and t4_tom modules that augment cxgb(4)
and cxgbe(4) respectively. The cxgb/cxgbe drivers continue to work as
usual with or without these extra features.
- iWARP driver for Terminator 3 ASIC (kernel verbs). T4 iWARP in the
works and will follow soon.
Build-tested with make universe.
30s overview
============
What interfaces support TCP offload? Look for TOE4 and/or TOE6 in the
capabilities of an interface:
# ifconfig -m | grep TOE
Enable/disable TCP offload on an interface (just like any other ifnet
capability):
# ifconfig cxgbe0 toe
# ifconfig cxgbe0 -toe
Which connections are offloaded? Look for toe4 and/or toe6 in the
output of netstat and sockstat:
# netstat -np tcp | grep toe
# sockstat -46c | grep toe

MFC after: ~3 months (after 9.1, and after ensuring MFC is feasible)
and crosschecks against firmware documentation. We now check and report
FC firmware attributes and at least are now prepared for the upper 48 bits
of f/w attributes (which are probably for the 8100 or later cards). This
involed changing how inbits and outbits are calculated for varios commands,
hopefully clearer and cleaner. This also caused me to clean up the actual
mailbox register usage. Finally, we are now unconditionally using a CRN
for initiator mode.
A longstanding issue with the 2400/2500 is that they do *not* support
a "Prefer PTP followed by loop", which explains why enabling that
caused the f/w to crash.
A slightly more invasive change is to let the firmware load entirely
drive whether multi_id support is enabled or not.

D2500CC which I have, syscons in text-mode fails to show the expected
contents due to write errors into video-memory.
At least one of the causes is that we copy from syscons internal buffer
to the video memory with optimized bcopy(9) which uses >16bit operations.
Until now, 32bit and wider operations have always worked on the video
memory, but since I cannot find a single source which says that this
SHALL work, and since these chipsets/bugs are now out there, this
commit changes syscons to always use 16bit copies on i386 & amd64.
This may be relevevant for PR's:

and various other bug reports floating elsewhere on the net, but
I lack hardware to test those.
Due to some differences in MSRs between Xeon Sandy Bridge and Core Sandy
Bridge (Model 0x2A), wrmsr() may generate in a GP# fault exception and so a
panic of the machine.

* Add an OS_A_REG_WRITE() routine - analog writes require a 100usec delay
on AR9280 and later, so create a method to do it.
* Use it for the AR9287 analog writes.
* Re-indent and style(9) the code.
This just requires a little HAL change (add a new config parameter) and
some glue in if_ath_pci.c, however I'm leaving this up for someone else
to do.

* Use ATH_RC_NUM instead of '4' when iterating over the ratecontrol series
array.
* A few style(9) fixes, hopefully no regressions here.
* Add some comments that better describe what's going on.
The existing code tries to use the beacon miss timer to signal that the AP
has gone away. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be behaving itself.
I'll try to investigate why this is for the sake of completeness.
The result is the STA will stay "associated" to the AP it was associated
with when it suspended. It never receives a bmiss notification so it
never tries reassociating.

This includes adding support for skipping FTDI interfaces used for JTAG
leaving them for userland and just attaching to the RS232 half, similarly
to how the corresponding Linux drivers handles these kind of adapters.
While at it, sort uftdi_devs and return BUS_PROBE_SPECIFIC (because
uftdi_probe() alters the instance variables for better or worse as do
other probe routines of USB drivers) instead of 0.

MAXPHYS should be based on PAGE_SIZE rather than SYM_CONF_DMA_BOUNDARY.
While at it, reuse the SYM_CONF_MAX_SG macro for specifying the maximum
number of DMA tags so sym(4) itself doesn't size memory beyond what's
required for handling MAXPHYS.

* Resize some types. In particular, bfs_seqno can be uint16_t for now.
Previous work would assign the unassigned seqno a value of -1, which
I obviously can't do here.

it.
This gets ath_buf down (on my i386 system) to 292 bytes from 300 bytes.
I'd rather it be much, much smaller.
fixed for 802.11n TX, this needs to be disabled or users wlil see randomly
hanging aggregation sessions.
Whilst I'm here, remove the warning about 802.11n being full of dragons.
It's nowhere near that scary now.
ath_start() is called.
This (defaults to 10 frames) gives for a little headway in the TX ath_buf
allocation, so buffer cloning is still possible.
This requires a lot omre experimenting and tuning.
It also doesn't stop a node/TID from consuming all of the available
ath_buf's, especially when the node is going through high packet loss
or only talking at a low TX rate. It also doesn't stop a paused TID
from taking all of the ath_bufs. I'll look at fixing that up in subsequent
commits.

growing "downward" (moving the start address down). First, an off by

chunk unnecessarily. Second, when aligning the new candidate starting
address, the wrong bits were masked off.

* Create sc_mgmt_txbuf and sc_mgmt_txdesc, initialise/free them appropriately.
* Create an enum to represent buffer types in the API.
* Extend ath_getbuf() and _ath_getbuf_locked() to take the above enum.
* Right now anything sent via ic_raw_xmit() allocates via ATH_BUFTYPE_MGMT.
This may not be very useful.
* Add ATH_BUF_MGMT flag (ath_buf.bf_flags) which indicates the current buffer
is a mgmt buffer and should go back onto the mgmt free list.
* Extend 'txagg' to include debugging output for both normal and mgmt txbufs.
* When checking/clearing ATH_BUF_BUSY, do it on both TX pools.
Tested:
* STA mode, with heavy UDP injection via iperf. This filled the TX queue
however BARs were still going out successfully.
TODO:
* Initialise the mgmt buffers with ATH_BUF_MGMT and then ensure the right
type is being allocated and freed on the appropriate list. That'd save
a write operation (to bf->bf_flags) on each buffer alloc/free.
* Test on AP mode, ensure that BAR TX and probe responses go out nicely
when the main TX queue is filled (eg with paused traffic to a TID,
awaiting a BAR to complete.)

(or direct dispatch) behind the TXQ lock (which, remember, is doubling
as the TID lock too for now.)
This ensures that:
(a) the sequence number and the CCMP PN allocation is done together;
(b) overlapping transmit paths don't interleave frames, so we don't
end up with the original issue that triggered kern/166190.
Ie, that we don't end up with seqno A, B in thread 1, C, D in
thread 2, and they being queued to the software queue as "A C D B"
or similar, leading to the BAW stalls.
This has been tested:
* both STA and AP modes with INVARIANTS and WITNESS;
* TCP and UDP TX;
* both STA->AP and AP->STA.
STA is a Routerstation Pro (single CPU MIPS) and the AP is a dual-core
Centrino.
