- 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

Significantly update tcp_lro for mostly two things:
1) introduce basic support for IPv6 without extension headers.
2) try hard to also get the incremental checksum updates right,
especially also in the IPv4 case for the IP and TCP header.
Move variables around for better locality, factor things out into
functions, allow checksum updates to be compiled out, ...
Leave a few comments on further things to look at in the future,
though that is not the full list.
Update drivers with appropriate #includes as needed for IPv6 data
type in LRO.

- Run the adapter's tick at 1Hz and remove link state checks from it.
Instead, have each port check its link state. Delay the check so that
it takes place slightly after the driver is notified of a change in
link state. This is a cheap way to debounce these notifications if
many are received in rapid succession. POLL_LINK_1ST_TIME flag can
also be eliminated as a side effect of these changes.
- Do not reset the PHY when link goes down.
- Clear port's link_fault flag if the PHY indicates link is down.
- get_link_status_r should leave speed and duplex alone when link is down.

The T3 ASIC can provide an incoming packet's timestamp instead of its RSS hash.
The timestamp is just a counter running off the card's clock. With a 175MHz
clock an increment represents ~5.7ns and the 32 bit value wraps around in ~25s.
# sysctl -d dev.cxgbc.0.pkt_timestamp
dev.cxgbc.0.pkt_timestamp: provide packet timestamp instead of connection hash
# sysctl -d dev.cxgbc.0.core_clock
dev.cxgbc.0.core_clock: core clock frequency (in KHz)
# sysctl dev.cxgbc.0.core_clock
dev.cxgbc.0.core_clock: 175000
- Only the tunnelq (TXQ_ETH) requires a buf_ring, an ifq, and the watchdog/timer
callouts. Do not allocate these for the other tx queues.
- Use 16k jumbo clusters only on offload capable cards by default.
- Do not allocate a full tx ring for the offload queue if the card is not
offload capable.
- Slightly better freelist size calculation.
- Fix nmbjumbo4 typo, remove unneeded global variables.

been around for a long time now (7.1-ish or even earlier); assume
they are present. These includes MSI, TSO, LRO, VLAN, INTR_FILTERS,
FIRMWARE, etc.
Also, eliminate some dead code and clean up in other places as part
of this quick once-over.

- remove mbuf iovec - useful, but adds too much complexity when isolated to
the driver
- remove driver private caching - insufficient benefit over UMA to justify
the added complexity and maintenance overhead
- remove separate logic for managing multiple transmit queues, with the
new drbr routines the control flow can be made to much more closely resemble
legacy drivers
- remove dedicated service threads, with per-cpu callouts one can get the same
benefit much more simply by registering a callout 1 tick in the future if there
are still buffered packets
- remove embedded mbuf usage - Jeffr's changes will (I hope) soon be integrated
greatly reducing the overhead of using kernel APIs for reference counting
clusters
- add hysteresis to descriptor coalescing logic
- add coalesce threshold sysctls to allow users to decide at run-time
between optimizing for forwarding / UDP or optimizing for TCP
- add once per second watchdog to effectively close the very rare races
occurring from coalescing
- incorporate Navdeep's changes to the initialization path required to
convert port and adapter locks back to ordinary mutexes (silencing BPF
LOR complaints)
- enable prefetches in get_packet and tx cleaning

1) Add a sysctl that will say what type of PHYs exist on the card.
2) Fix a bug that occurs when an AEL 2005 PHY resets without a transciever
in the card.
3) Unify the PHY link detection code.

- add per tx queue ifaltq to handle ALTQ
- remove several unused functions in cxgb_multiq.c
- add several sysctls: multiq_tx_enable, coalesce_tx_enable,

- add memory barriers to <machine/atomic.h>
- update drivers to only conditionally define their own
- add lockless producer / consumer ring buffer

- pick the ifnet based on the interface in the CPL header
- switch to using qset 0 for egress on the 4-port for now - may change
when we start using RSS
- move ether_ifdetach to before the port lock gets deinitialized to avoid
hang in the case where there are BPF peers (cxgb_ioctl is called indirectly
when BPF peers are present)
- don't call t3_mac_reset if multiport is set, this was causing tx errors
by misconfiguring the MAC on the 4-port
- change V_TXPKT_INTF to use txpkt_intf as the interfaces are not contiguous

into the rspq
