socket-buffer implementations, introduce a return value for MCLGET()
(and m_cljget() that underlies it) to allow the caller to avoid testing
M_EXT itself. Update all callers to use the return value.
With this change, very few network device drivers remain aware of
M_EXT; the primary exceptions lie in mbuf-chain pretty printers for
debugging, and in a few cases, custom mbuf and cluster allocation
implementations.
NB: This is a difficult-to-test change as it touches many drivers for
which I don't have physical devices. Instead we've gone for intensive
review, but further post-commit review would definitely be appreciated
to spot errors where changes could not easily be made mechanically,
but were largely mechanical in nature.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the

allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver

For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they

o Replace an unconditional 30ms DELAY (yes, busy wait) with a check of the

Include data from the datasheet about why this works. While this is a 2500x

This chip makes it hard to do proper auto, so we don't do it. We
can't test carrier on things easily.
Don't insist on carrier when we set the media. Don't report failures.
Remove a 1s! delay that appears to not be needed.
With these patches, and John Baldwin's patches, I'm able to pass
packets on my IBM EtherJet card again.
o When forced to be 10baseT, don't require that the 10baseT interface
have link to succeed. Still require it for IFM_AUTO, however, since it
appears that there's no way to tell if a specific type of interface
worked. I'm doing a web search for a datasheet now to see if there's
anything obvious.
o Minor incidental formatting nits, including collapsing code of the form
if (foo) {
bar();

Provide a backwards compatible way to have the extra macro by defining
PCCARD_API_LEVEL 5 before including pccarddevs for driver writers that
want/need to have the same driver on 5 and 6 with pccard attachments.
Approved by: re (dwhite)
struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

EtherJet, the interrupt is selected in the eeprom based on the layout
of the PC Card board. Since this is encoded into the EEPROM, and has
no relationship to the IRQ that the pccard bridge routes the PC Card's
interrupt pin to.
As such, stop writing to that register. This gets my EtherJet working.
# The eeprom reading code appears to be totally wrong for my EtherJet
# card. This causes the card to bogusly detect the media options
