Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
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.

The NetBSD Foundation states "Third parties are encouraged to change the
license on any files which have a 4-clause license contributed to the
NetBSD Foundation to a 2-clause license."
This change removes clauses 3 and 4 from copyright / license blocks that
list The NetBSD Foundation as the only copyright holder.

quite low for many of today's uses and the only way to modify this
parameter right now is to edit if_var.h file. Also add read-only
sysctl with the same name, so that it's possible to retrieve the
current value.

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

unlike documented may not take effect without an initialization. So
don't invoke (*sc_mediachange) directly in lance_mediachange() but
go through lance_init_locked(). It's suboptimal to impose this for
all chips but given that besides the affected PCI bus front-end the
only other front-end which supports media selection is and likely
ever will be the 'ledma' front-end I see not enough reason to break
the in-driver API for this (though one could argue both ways here).
still should return BUS_PROBE_LOW_PRIORITY instead of BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT
in order to give pcn(4) a chance to attach in case it probes after le(4).
- Rearrange the code related to RX interrupt handling so that ownership of
RX descriptors is immediately returned to the NIC after we have copied
the data of the hardware, allowing the NIC to already reuse the descriptor
while we are processing the data in ifp->if_input(). This results in a
small but measurable increase in RX throughput.
As a side-effect, this moves the workaround for the LANCE revision C bug
to am7900.c (still off by default as I doubt we will actually encounter
such an old chip in a machine running FreeBSD) and the workaround for the
bug in the VMware PCnet-PCI emulation to am79000.c, which is now also
only compiled on i386 (resulting in a small increase in RX throughput on
the other platforms).
- Change the RX interrupt handlers so that the descriptor error bits are
only check once in case there was no error instead of twice (inspired
by the NetBSD pcn(4), which additionally predicts the error branch as
false).
- Fix the debugging output of the RX and TX interrupt handlers; while
looping through the descriptors print info about the currently processed
one instead of always the previously last used one; remove pointless
printing of info about the RX descriptor bits after their values were
reset.
- Create the DMA tags used to allocate the memory for the init block,
descriptors and packet buffers with the alignment the respective NIC
actually requires rather than using PAGE_SIZE unconditionally. This might
as well fix the alignment of the memory as it seems we do not inherit
the alignment constraint from the parent DMA tag.
- For the PCI variants double the number of RX descriptors and buffers
from 8 to 16 as this minimizes the number of RX overflows im seeing with
one NIC-mainboard combination. Nevertheless move reporting of overflows
under debugging as they seem unavoidable with some crappy hardware.
- Set the software style of the PCI variants to ILACC rather than PCnet-PCI
as the former is was am79000.c actually implements. Should not make a
difference for this driver though.
- Fix the driver name part in the MODULE_DEPEND of the PCI front-end for
ether.
- Use different device descriptions for PCnet-Home and PCnet-PCI.
- Fix some 0/NULL confusion in lance_get().
- Use bus_addr_t for sc_addr and bus_size_t for sc_memsize as these are
more appropriate than u_long for these.
- Remove the unused LE_DRIVER_NAME macro.
- Add a comment describing why we are taking the LE_HTOLE* etc approach
instead of using byteorder(9) functions directly.
- Improve some comments and fix some wording.

from NetBSD. This driver actually can replace lnc(4). Advantages over
lnc(4) are:
- Cleaner and more flexible regarding MD needs.
- Endian-clean and MPSAFE.
- Supports ALTQ, VLAN_MTU, ifmedia.
- Uses 32bit DMA for the PCI variants.
This commit includes front-ends for the dma(4) pseudo-bus found on SBus-
based sparc64 machines (thus supports the on-board LANCE in Sun Ultra 1)
and PCI. In order to actually replace lnc(4), the front-ends for ISA and
the PC98 CBUS would have to be added but for which I don't have hardware
to test.
