includes support for the NIC and TOE features of the 40G, 10G, and
1G/100M cards based on the T5.
The ASIC is mostly backward compatible with the Terminator 4 so cxgbe(4)
has been updated instead of writing a brand new driver. T5 cards will
show up as cxl (short for cxlgb) ports attached to the t5nex bus driver.

This lets userspace read arbitrary information from the SFP+ modules
etc. on this bus.
Reading multiple bytes in the same transaction isn't possible right now.
I'll update the driver once the chip's firmware supports this.
MFC after: 3 days
- Device configuration via plain text config file. Also able to operate
when not attached to the chip as the master driver.
- Generic "work request" queue that serves as the base for both ctrl and
ofld tx queues.
- Generic interrupt handler routine that can process any event on any
kind of ingress queue (via a dispatch table).
- A couple of new driver ioctls. cxgbetool can now install a firmware
to the card ("loadfw" command) and can read the card's memory
("memdump" and "tcb" commands).
- Lots of assorted information within dev.t4nex.X.misc.* This is
primarily for debugging and won't show up in sysctl -a.
- Code to manage the L2 tables on the chip.
- Updates to cxgbe(4) man page to go with the tunables that have changed.
- Updates to the shared code in common/
- Updates to the driver-firmware interface (now at fw 1.4.16.0)
MFC after: 1 month
filters working. (All other filters - switch without L2 info rewrite,
steer, and drop - were already fully-functional).
Some contrived examples of "switch" filters with L2 rewriting:
# cxgbetool t4nex0 iport 0 dport 80 action switch vlan +9 eport 3
Intercept all packets received on physical port 0 with TCP port 80 as
destination, insert a vlan tag with VID 9, and send them out of port 3.
# cxgbetool t4nex0 sip 192.168.1.1/32 ivlan 5 action switch \
vlan =9 smac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff eport 0
Intercept all packets (received on any port) with source IP address
192.168.1.1 and VLAN id 5, rewrite the VLAN id to 9, rewrite source mac
to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff, and send it out of port 0.
MFC after: 1 week
- Enable 5-tuple and every-packet lookup.
- Setup the default filter mode to allow filtering/steering based on IP
protocol, ingress port, inner VLAN ID, IP frag, FCoE, and MPS match
type; all combined together. You can also filter based on MAC index,
Ethernet type, IP TOS/IPv6 Traffic Class, and outer VLAN ID but you'll
have to modify the default filter mode and exclude some of the
match-fields in it.
IPv4 and IPv6 SIP/DIP/SPORT/DPORT are always available in all filter
rules.
- Add driver ioctls to get/set the global filter mode.
- Add driver ioctls to program and delete hardware filters. A couple of
the "switch" actions that rewrite Ethernet and VLAN information and
switch the packet out of another port may not work as the L2 code is not
yet in place. Everything else, including all "drop" and "pass" rules
with RSS or absolute qid, should work.
