o Axe IFF_POLLING flag from if_flags.
o Rework revision 1.21 (Giant removal), in such a way that
poll_mtx is not dropped during call to polling handler.
This fixes problem with idle polling.
o Make registration and deregistration from polling in a
functional way, insted of next tick/interrupt.
o Obsolete kern.polling.enable. Polling is turned on/off
with ifconfig.
Detailed kern_poll.c changes:
- Remove polling handler flags, introduced in 1.21. The are not
needed now.
- Forget and do not check if_flags, if_capenable and if_drv_flags.
- Call all registered polling handlers unconditionally.
- Do not drop poll_mtx, when entering polling handlers.
- In ether_poll() NET_LOCK_GIANT prior to locking poll_mtx.
- In netisr_poll() axe the block, where polling code asks drivers
to unregister.
- In netisr_poll() and ether_poll() do polling always, if any
handlers are present.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() remove a lot of error hiding code. Assert
that arguments are correct, instead.
- In ether_poll_[de]register() use standard return values in case of
error or success.
- Introduce poll_switch() that is a sysctl handler for kern.polling.enable.
poll_switch() goes through interface list and enabled/disables polling.
A message that kern.polling.enable is deprecated is printed.
Detailed driver changes:
- On attach driver announces IFCAP_POLLING in if_capabilities, but
not in if_capenable.
- On detach driver calls ether_poll_deregister() if polling is enabled.
- In polling handler driver obtains its lock and checks IFF_DRV_RUNNING
flag. If there is no, then unlocks and returns.
- In ioctl handler driver checks for IFCAP_POLLING flag requested to
be set or cleared. Driver first calls ether_poll_[de]register(), then
obtains driver lock and [dis/en]ables interrupts.
- In interrupt handler driver checks IFCAP_POLLING flag in if_capenable.
If present, then returns.This is important to protect from spurious
interrupts.

MFC after: 1 week
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.

Under polling(4), we counted non-existent output packets and wasted
CPU cycles, corrected. (PR kern/64975.)
The fix in revision 1.71 to correct resetting of the watchdog timer
was wrong.
In rl(4), the TX list does not have a gap between the consumer and
producer, so the "empty TX list" test was wrong, corrected.
Also, resetting the timer to five each time we know there is still
some TX work to do was a bad idea -- under polling(4), if the chip
goes out to lunch, this results in the watchdog routine to _never_
be called. Instead, let the timer downgrade to zero and fire the
watchdog, then reset it to five when it is zero AND there is some
TX work left. (Most other network drivers need this fix too.)

may not be needed in subsequent chip revs.) Also:

return.
- Fix another bug in re_gmii_writereg() (properly apply data field mask)

rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).
