Mark ffs_rawread.c as requiring both ffs and directio options to be
compiled into the kernel. Add ffs_rawread.c to the list of ufs.ko
module' sources.
In addition to stopping breaking the layering violation, it also
allows to link kernel when FFS is configured as module and DIRECTIO is
enabled.
One consequence of the change is that ffs_rawread.o is always linked
into the module regardless of the DIRECTIO option. This is similar to
the option QUOTA and ufs_quota.c.

Netmap gets its own hardware-assisted virtual interface and won't take
over or disrupt the "normal" interface in any way. You can use both
simultaneously.
For kernels with DEV_NETMAP, cxgbe(4) carves out an ncxl<N> interface
(note the 'n' prefix) in the hardware to accompany each cxl<N>
interface. These two ifnet's per port share the same wire but really
are separate interfaces in the hardware and software. Each gets its own
L2 MAC addresses (unicast and multicast), MTU, checksum caps, etc. You
should run netmap on the 'n' interfaces only, that's what they are for.
With this, pkt-gen is able to transmit > 45Mpps out of a single 40G port
of a T580 card. 2 port tx is at ~56Mpps total (28M + 28M) as of now.
Single port receive is at 33Mpps but this is very much a work in
progress. I expect it to be closer to 40Mpps once done. In any case
the current effort can already saturate multiple 10G ports of a T5 card
at the smallest legal packet size. T4 gear is totally untested.

The CUSE library is a wrapper for the devfs kernel functionality which
is exposed through /dev/cuse . In order to function the CUSE kernel
code must either be enabled in the kernel configuration file or loaded
separately as a module. Currently none of the committed items are
connected to the default builds, except for installing the needed
header files. The CUSE code will be connected to the default world and
kernel builds in a follow-up commit.
The CUSE module was written by Hans Petter Selasky, somewhat inspired
by similar functionality found in FUSE. The CUSE library can be used
for many purposes. Currently CUSE is used when running Linux kernel
drivers in user-space, which need to create a character device node to
communicate with its applications. CUSE has full support for almost
all devfs functionality found in the kernel:
- kevents
- read
- write
- ioctl
- poll
- open
- close
- mmap
- private per file handle data

This driver supports the low and high precision models (9 and 11 bits) and
it will auto-detect the both variants.
The driver expose the temperature registers (actual temperature, shutdown
and hysteresys temperature) and also the configuration register.
It was tested on FDT systems: RPi, BBB and on non-FDT systems: AR71xx, with
both, hardware i2c controllers (when available) and gpioiic(4).
This provides a simple and cheap way for verifying the i2c bus on embedded

cards. LSI has been maintaining this driver outside of the FreeBSD
tree. It overlaps support of ThunderBolt and Invader cards that mfi(4)
supports. By default mfi(4) will attach to cards. If the tunable:
hw.mfi.mrsas_enable=1
is set then mfi(4) will not probe and attach to these newer cards and
allow mrsas(4) to attach. So by default this driver will not effect
a FreeBSD system unless mfi(4) is removed from the kernel or the
tunable is enabled.
mrsas(4) attaches disks to the CAM layer so it depends on CAM and devices
show up as /dev/daX. mfiutil(8) does not work with mrsas. The FreeBSD
version of MegaCli and StorCli from LSI do work with mrsas. It appears
that StorCli only works with mrsas. MegaCli appears to work with mfi(4)
and mrsas(4).
It would be good to add mfiutil(4) support to mrsas, emulations modes,
kernel logging, device aliases to ease the transition between mfi(4)
and mrsas(4).
Style issues should be resolved by LSI when they get committers approved.
The plan is get this driver in FreeBSD 9.3 to improve HW support.
Thanks to LSI for developing, testing and working with FreeBSD to
make this driver co-exist in FreeBSD. This improves the overall
support of MegaRAID SAS.

o The 12Gb hardware can do "FastPath" I/O, and that capability is included in
this driver.
o WarpDrive functionality has been removed, since it isn't supported in

o The Scatter/Gather list handling code is significantly different between

linking NIC Receive Side Scaling (RSS) to the network stack's
connection-group implementation. This prototype (and derived patches)
are in use at Juniper and several other FreeBSD-using companies, so
despite some reservations about its maturity, merge the patch to the
base tree so that it can be iteratively refined in collaboration rather
than maintained as a set of gradually diverging patch sets.
(1) Merge a software implementation of the Toeplitz hash specified in
RSS implemented by David Malone. This is used to allow suitable
pcbgroup placement of connections before the first packet is
received from the NIC. Software hashing is generally avoided,
however, due to high cost of the hash on general-purpose CPUs.
(2) In in_rss.c, maintain authoritative versions of RSS state intended
to be pushed to each NIC, including keying material, hash
algorithm/ configuration, and buckets. Provide software-facing
interfaces to hash 2- and 4-tuples for IPv4 and IPv6 using both
the RSS standardised Toeplitz and a 'naive' variation with a hash
efficient in software but with poor distribution properties.
Implement rss_m2cpuid()to be used by netisr and other load
balancing code to look up the CPU on which an mbuf should be
processed.
(3) In the Ethernet link layer, allow netisr distribution using RSS as
a source of policy as an alternative to source ordering; continue
to default to direct dispatch (i.e., don't try and requeue packets
for processing on the 'right' CPU if they arrive in a directly
dispatchable context).
(4) Allow RSS to control tuning of connection groups in order to align
groups with RSS buckets. If a packet arrives on a protocol using
connection groups, and contains a suitable hardware-generated
hash, use that hash value to select the connection group for pcb
lookup for both IPv4 and IPv6. If no hardware-generated Toeplitz
hash is available, we fall back on regular PCB lookup risking
contention rather than pay the cost of Toeplitz in software --
this is a less scalable but, at my last measurement, faster
approach. As core counts go up, we may want to revise this
strategy despite CPU overhead.
Where device drivers suitably configure NICs, and connection groups /
RSS are enabled, this should avoid both lock and line contention during
connection lookup for TCP. This commit does not modify any device
drivers to tune device RSS configuration to the global RSS
configuration; patches are in circulation to do this for at least
Chelsio T3 and Intel 1G/10G drivers. Currently, the KPI for device
drivers is not particularly robust, nor aware of more advanced features
such as runtime reconfiguration/rebalancing. This will hopefully prove
a useful starting point for refinement.
No MFC is scheduled as we will first want to nail down a more mature
and maintainable KPI/KBI for device drivers.

AppleTalk was a network transport protocol for Apple Macintosh devices
in 80s and then 90s. Starting with Mac OS X in 2000 the AppleTalk was
a legacy protocol and primary networking protocol is TCP/IP. The last
Mac OS X release to support AppleTalk happened in 2009. The same year
routing equipment vendors (namely Cisco) end their support.
Thus, AppleTalk won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
