tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.
o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.
o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.
o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.
o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.
o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.
o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.
o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.
o cxgb(4), cxgbe(4) need no change, since they obtain stats
from hardware.

It seems strchr() and strrchr() are used more often than index() and
rindex(). Therefore, simply migrate all kernel code to use it.
For the XFS code, remove an empty line to make the code identical to
the code in the Linux kernel.
This fixes a long standing bug in mxge(4) where "ifconfig mxge0 $IP"
did not bring the interface into a RUNNING state, like it does on
most (all?) other FreeBSD NIC drivers.
Thanks to gnn for mentioning the bug, and yongari for pointing out that
ether_ioctl() invokes ifp->if_init() in SIOCSIFADDR.

The Myri10GE NIC will assume all TSO frames contain partial checksum,
and will emit TSO segments with bad TCP checksums if a TSO frame
contains a full checksum. The mxge driver takes care to make sure
that TSO is disabled when checksum offload is disabled for this
reason. However, modules that modify packet contents (like pf) may
end up completing a checksum on a TSO frame, leading to the NIC emitting
TSO segments with bad checksums.
To workaround this, restore the partial checksum in the mxge driver
when we're fed a TSO frame with a full checksum.

1) Restore the PCI Express control register after a watchdog
reset. This is required because the device will come out
of watchdog reset with the pectl reg at its default state,
and important BIOS configuration (like max payload size)
could be lost.
2) Call mxge_start_locked() for every tx queue before dropping
the lock in the watchdog handler. This is required, as
the queue's buf ring may have filled during the reset.
- Mark the link as down, so if watchdog reset fails, link watching
failover software can notice it
- Don't send MXGEFW_CMD_ETHERNET_DOWN if the NIC has been reset, it is
not needed, and will fail on a freshly reset NIC.
- Ensure the transmit routines aren't attempting to PIO write to doorbells
while the NIC is being reset.
- Download the correct f/w, rather than using the EEPROM f/w after reset.
- Export a count of the number of watchdog resets via sysctl
- Zero all f/w stats at reset. This will lead to less confusing
diagnostic output when investigating NIC failures.

this by removing the "_" and renaming the tunable to

I tried re-ordering ether_ifdetach(), but this created a new race
where sometimes, when under heavy receive load (>1Mpps) and running
tcpdump, the machine would panic. At panic, the ithread was still in
the original (not dead) if_input() path, and was accessing stale BPF
data structs. By using a dying flag, I can close the interface prior
to if_detach() to be certain the interface cannot send packets up in
the middle of ether_ifdetach.

obtaining and releasing shared and exclusive locks. The algorithms for
manipulating the lock cookie are very similar to that rwlocks. This patch
also adds support for exclusive locks using the same algorithm as mutexes.
A new sx_init_flags() function has been added so that optional flags can be
specified to alter a given locks behavior. The flags include SX_DUPOK,
SX_NOWITNESS, SX_NOPROFILE, and SX_QUITE which are all identical in nature
to the similar flags for mutexes.
Adaptive spinning on select locks may be enabled by enabling the
ADAPTIVE_SX kernel option. Only locks initialized with the SX_ADAPTIVESPIN
flag via sx_init_flags() will adaptively spin.
The common cases for sx_slock(), sx_sunlock(), sx_xlock(), and sx_xunlock()
are now performed inline in non-debug kernels. As a result, <sys/sx.h> now
requires <sys/lock.h> to be included prior to <sys/sx.h>.
The new kernel option SX_NOINLINE can be used to disable the aforementioned
inlining in non-debug kernels.
The size of struct sx has changed, so the kernel ABI is probably greatly
disturbed.

running firmware. By "adopting", I mean using pre-existing firmware
loaded from eeprom at PCI reset, rather than firmware loaded by the
driver.
a version that i posted earlier on the -current mailing list,
and subsequent feedback received.
The core of the change is just in sys/firmware.h and kern/subr_firmware.c,
while other files are just adaptation of the clients to the ABI change
(const-ification of some parameters and hiding of internal info,
so this is fully compatible at the binary level).
In detail:
- reduce the amount of information exported to clients in struct firmware,
and constify the pointer;
- internally, document and simplify the implementation of the various
functions, and make sure error conditions are dealt with properly.
The diffs are large, but the code is really straightforward now (i hope).
Note also that there is a subtle issue with the implementation of
firmware_register(): currently, as in the previous version, we just
store a reference to the 'imagename' argument, but we should rather
copy it because there is no guarantee that this is a static string.
I realised this while testing this code, but i prefer to fix it in
a later commit -- there is no regression with respect to the past.
Note, too, that the version in RELENG_6 has various bugs including
missing locks around the module release calls, mishandling of modules
loaded by /boot/loader, and so on, so an MFC is absolutely necessary
there. I was just postponing it until this cleanup to avoid doing
things twice.
