structure, which is new to the 82550 and 82551, is used to transmit
a packet. This appears to fix the packet truncation problem that was
observed when using 82550-based fxp cards to transmit ICMP or fragmented
UDP packets of certain lengths which only had one to three bytes in the
second and final mbuf of the packet. This matches a note in the "Intel
8255x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controller Family Open Source Software Developer
Manual", which says that the hardware parse bit should be set when sending
these types of packets.
There have also been unconfirmed reports of similar problems when
transmitting TCP packets, which should not be affected by the above
mentioned change because the hardware parse bit was already being set
if the stack requested hardware checksumming of the packet. If the
problem remains, the use of the IPCB structure can be disabled to
cause the driver to fall back to using the older 82559 interface with
82550-based cards by setting
hint.fxp.UNIT_NUMBER.ipcbxmit_disable
to a non-zero value at boot time, or using kenv to set this variable
before using kldload to load the fxp driver.

doesn't acknowledge the packet buffer filling, the card will begin to
generate ethernet quench packets, but appears to get into a feedback
loop of some sort, hosing local switches. This is a temporary workaround
for 5.1: the ability to configure flow control should probably be
exposed by some or another management interface on ethernet link layer

This advances the locking to the point that I can eject my fxp card 10

network layer locking finished before chasing more of the races here

the card, there's no need to carefully look at things with
bus_child_present.

a possible deadlock reported by jhb.
3) add gone to the softc. Set it to true in detach.

the handling of a no-resource condition was deferred due to running

the case where DEVICE_POLLING is defined.
The details of the mechanism behind the crashes are still uncertain
but the most likely cause seems to be some kind of hardware confusion

the receiver is still active. This could have happened if the

a time that may clash with the hardware updating this field.
There is no hardware documentation available to determine if these
things are safe to do; the second issue almost certainly isn't, and
the first is only safe if there is documentation saying that this

this commit makes their use conditional on that option. It does not

Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.
To use this code you must compile a kernel with
options DEVICE_POLLING
and at runtime enable polling with
sysctl kern.polling.enable=1
The percentage of CPU reserved to userland can be set with
sysctl kern.polling.user_frac=NN (default is 50)
while the remainder is used by polling device drivers and netisr's.
These are the only two variables that you should need to touch. There
are a few more parameters in kern.polling but the default values
are adequate for all purposes. See the code in kern_poll.c for
more details on them.
Polling in the idle loop will be implemented shortly by introducing
a kernel thread which does the job. Until then, the amount of CPU
dedicated to polling will never exceed (100-user_frac).
The equivalent (actually, better) code for -stable is at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/polling/
and also supports polling in the idle loop.

There is really nothing in this code that is i386-specific.

I do not have a suitable test box to try it. If someone feels like
trying it, I would appreciate it.
NOTE to other developers:
sure some things could be done better, and as always I am open to
constructive criticism, which a few of you have already given and
I greatly appreciated.
However, before proposing radical architectural changes, please
take some time to possibly try out this code, or at the very least

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

All calls to mtx_init() for mutexes that recurse must now include

preparation for an upcoming (further) mutex API cleanup.
The witness code will call panic() if a lock is found to recurse but
the MTX_RECURSE bit was not set during the lock's initialization.
The old MTX_RECURSE "state" bit (in mtx_lock) has been renamed to
MTX_RECURSED, which is more appropriate given its meaning.
The following locks have been made "recursive," thus far:

understand exactly what it is about SMPng that tickles this bug. What I
do know is that the foo_init() routine in most drivers is often called
twice when an interface is brought up. One time is due to the ifconfig(8)
command calling the SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl to set the IFF_UP flag, and another
is probably due to the kernel calling ifp->if_init at some point. In any
case, the SMPng changes seem to affect the timing of these two events in
such a way that there is a significant delay before any packets are sent
onto the wire after the interface is first brought up. This manifested
itself locally as an SMPng test machine which failed to obtain an address
via DHCP when booting up.
It looks like the second call to fxp_init() is happening faster now than
it did before, and I think it catches the chip while it's in the process
of dealing with the configuration command from the first call. Whatever
the case, a FXP_CSR_SCB_CNA interrupt event is now generated shortly after
the second fxp_init() call. (This interrupt is apparently never generated
by a non-SMPng kernel, so nobody noticed.)
There are two problems with this: first, fxp_intr() does not handle the
FXP_CSR_SCB_CNA interrupt event (it never tests for it or does anything
to deal with it), and second, the meaning of FXP_CSR_SCB_CNA is not
documented in the driver. (Apparently it means "command unit not active.")
Bad coder. No biscuit.
The fix is to have the FXP_CSR_SCB_CNA interrupt handled just like the
FXP_SCB_STATACK_CXTNO interrupt. This prevents the state machine for
the configuration/RX filter programming stuff from getting wedged for
several seconds and preventing packet transmission.

lock up under moderate to heavy load.
The status & command fields share a 32-bit longword. The programming
API of the eepro apparently requires that you update the command field
of a transmit slot that you've already given to the card. This means
the card could be updating the status field of the same longword at
the same time. Since alphas can only operate on 32-bit chunks of
memory, both the status & command fields are loaded from memory &
operated on in registers when the following line of C is executed:
sc->cbl_last->cb_command &= ~FXP_CB_COMMAND_S;
The race is caused by the card DMA'ing up the status at just the wrong
time -- after it has been loaded into a register & before it has been
written back. The old value of the status is written back, clobbering
the status the card just DMA'ed up. The fact that the card has sent
this frame is missed & the transmit engine appears to hang.
Luckily, as numerous people on the freebsd-alpha list pointed out, the
load-locked/store-conditional instructions used by the atomic
functions work with respect changes in memory due to I/O devices. We
now use them to safely update the command field.

declaration for the interface driver from "foo" to "if_foo" but leave the
declaration for the miibus attached to the interface driver alone. This
lets the internal module name be "if_foo" while still allowing the miibus
instances to attach to "foo."
This should allow ifconfig to autoload driver modules again without
breaking the miibus attach.
This whole idea isn't going to work until somebody makes the bus/kld
code smarter. The idea here is to change the module's internal name
from "foo" to "if_foo" so that ifconfig can tell a network driver from
a non-network one. However doing this doesn't work correctly no matter
how you slice it. For everything to work, you have to change the name
in both the driver_t struct and the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration. The
problems are:
- If you change the name in both places, then the kernel thinks that
the device's name is now "if_foo", so you get things like:
if_foo0: <FOO ethernet> irq foo at device foo on pcifoo
if_foo0: Ethernet address: foo:foo:foo:foo:foo:foo
This is bogus. Now the device name doesn't agree with the logical
interface name. There's no reason for this, and it violates the
principle of least astonishment.
- If you leave the name in the driver_t struct as "foo" and only
change the names in the DRIVER_MODULE() declaration to "if_foo" then
attaching drivers to child devices doesn't work because the names don't
agree. This breaks miibus: drivers that need to have miibuses and PHY
drivers attached never get them.
In other words: damned if you do, damned if you don't.
This needs to be thought through some more. Since the drivers that
use miibus are broken, I have to change these all back in order to
make them work again. Yes this will stop ifconfig from being able
to demand load driver modules. On the whole, I'd rather have that
than having the drivers not work at all.

template, spilling over into memory that followed it.
Fixed handling of if_timer...it was cleared too early in some cases.
large enough to contain the ethernet header. There appears to be a
condition where the card can return "0" in some failure cases, and this
causes bad things to happen (a panic).
Fixed a bug in fxp_mdi_write - a hex number was missing a preceding 0x
and this was causing the routine to not wait for a PHY write to complete.
Added support for link0, link1, and link2 flags to toggle auto-
negotiation, 10/100, and half/full duplex:
link0 disable auto-negotiation
When set, these flags then have meaning:
-link1 10Mbps
link1 100Mbps
-link2 half duplex
link2 full duplex
...needs a manual page.
written:
1) Full duplex mode is now supported (and works!)
2) The 10Mbps-only PCI Pro/10 should now work (untested, however)
Thanks to Justin Gibbs for providing a PCI bus analyzer trace while the
Intel Windows driver was configuring the board...this made it possible
to figure out the mystery bit that I wasn't setting in the PHY for full
duplex to work.
Disabled the DMA byte counters - I had it this way originally and this is
the recommended setting.
Set crscdt to CRS only (0) since this is what it should be for an MII PHY.
Also fixed some comments.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
previous hackery involving struct in_ifaddr and arpcom. Get rid of the
abominable multi_kludge. Update all network interfaces to use the
new machanism. Distressingly few Ethernet drivers program the multicast
filter properly (assuming the hardware has one, which it usually does).
type to be int so that errors can be returned.
2) Use the new SIOCSIFMTU ether_ioctl support in the few drivers that are
using ether_ioctl().
3) In if_fxp.c: treat if_bpf as a token, not as a pointer. Don't bother
testing for FXP_NTXSEG being reached in fxp_start()...just check for
non-NULL 'm'. Change fxp_ioctl() to use ether_ioctl().
<net/if_arp.h> and fixed the things that depended on it. The nested
include just allowed unportable programs to compile and made my
simple #include checking program report that networking code doesn't
need to include <sys/socket.h>.
not resuming the NIC as required for transmit. Thanks to Alan Cox
<alc@cs.rice.edu> for noticing this.
Added another performance optimization to compensate. :-)
Changed crscdt to 1...strange, but this seems to be needed for some reason
despite what the manual says.
ring that caused wrong things to happen sometimes.
Doubled the number of transmit descriptors to 128 so that the internal
FIFO in the NIC can be fully filled when dealing with small packets.
Several minor performance improvements.
to deal with the fact that we relied on devconf to do the shutdown
callouts in various drivers. The changes in this commit are to add support
for device shutdown in this driver via the new at_shutdown() mechanism.
Similar changes need to be made to all of the other drivers that need
a shutdown routine called (if_de.c comes to mind immediately).
- fill in and use ifp->if_softc
- use if_bpf rather than private cookie variables
- change bpf interface to take advantage of this
- call ether_ifattach() directly from Ethernet drivers
- delete kludge in if_attach() that did this indirectly
Removed ifnet.if_init and ifnet.if_reset as they are generally unused.
Change the parameter passed to if_watchdog to be a ifnet * rather than
a unit number. All of this is an attempt to move toward not needing an
array of softc pointers (which is usually static in size) to point to
the driver softc.
if_ed.c:
Changed some of the argument passing to some functions to make a little
more sense.
if_ep.c, if_vx.c:
Killed completely bogus use of if_timer. It was being set in such a way
that the interface was being reset once per second (blech!).
