command register. The lazy BAR allocation code in FreeBSD sometimes
disables this bit when it detects a range conflict, and will re-enable
it on demand when a driver allocates the BAR. Thus, the bit is no longer
a reliable indication of capability, and should not be checked. This
results in the elimination of a lot of code from drivers, and also gives
the opportunity to simplify a lot of drivers to use a helper API to set
the busmaster enable bit.
This changes fixes some recent reports of disk controllers and their

of the newer drivers. The basic problem was
that the driver was pulling the mbuf off the
drbr ring and then when sending with xmit(), encounting
a full transmit ring. Thus the lower layer
xmit() function would return an error, and the
drivers would then append the data back on to the ring.
For TCP this is a horrible scenario sure to bring
on a fast-retransmit.
The fix is to use drbr_peek() to pull the data pointer
but not remove it from the ring. If it fails then
we either call the new drbr_putback or drbr_advance
method. Advance moves it forward (we do this sometimes
when the xmit() function frees the mbuf). When
we succeed we always call advance. The
putback will always copy the mbuf back to the top
of the ring. Note that the putback *cannot* be used
with a drbr_dequeue() only with drbr_peek(). We most
of the time, in putback, would not need to copy it
back since most likey the mbuf is still the same, but
sometimes xmit() functions will change the mbuf via
a pullup or other call. So the optimial case for
the single consumer is to always copy it back. If
we ever do a multiple_consumer (for lagg?) we
will need a test and atomic in the put back possibly
a seperate putback_mc() in the ring buf.

tree used it incorrectly, which lead to inaccurate overrated
if_obytes accounting. The drbr(9) used to update ifnet stats on
drbr_enqueue(), which is not accurate since enqueuing doesn't
imply successful processing by driver. Dequeuing neither mean
that. Most drivers also called drbr_stats_update() which did
accounting again, leading to doubled if_obytes statistics. And
in case of severe transmitting, when a packet could be several
times enqueued and dequeued it could have been accounted several
times.
o Thus, make drbr(9) API thinner. Now drbr(9) merely chooses between
ALTQ queueing or buf_ring(9) queueing.
- It doesn't touch the buf_ring stats any more.
- It doesn't touch ifnet stats anymore.
- drbr_stats_update() no longer exists.
o buf_ring(9) handles its stats itself:
- It handles br_drops itself.
- br_prod_bytes stats are dropped. Rationale: no one ever
reads them but update of a common counter on every packet
negatively affects performance due to excessive cache
invalidation.
- buf_ring_enqueue_bytes() reduced to buf_ring_enqueue(), since
we no longer account bytes.
o Drivers handle their stats theirselves: if_obytes, if_omcasts.
o mlx4(4), igb(4), em(4), vxge(4), oce(4) and ixv(4) no longer
use drbr_stats_update(), and update ifnet stats theirselves.
o bxe(4) was the most correct driver, it didn't call
drbr_stats_update(), thus it was the only driver accurate under
moderate load. Now it also maintains stats itself.
o ixgbe(4) had already taken stats from hardware, so just
- drop software stats updating.
- take multicast packet count from hardware as well.
o mxge(4) just no longer needs NO_SLOW_STATS define.
o cxgb(4), cxgbe(4) need no change, since they obtain stats
from hardware.

portions were already reapplied in r233708:

single queue resulting in out-of-order packet processing.

- Do not define the foo_start() methods or set if_start in the ifnet if
multiq transmit is enabled. Also, set if_transmit and if_qflush before
ether_ifattach rather than after when multiq transmit is enabled. This
helps to ensure that the drivers never try to mix different transmit
methods.
- Properly restart transmit during resume. igb(4) was not restarting it
at all, and em(4) was restarting even if the link was down and was
calling the wrong method if multiq transmit was enabled.
- Remove all the 'more' handling for transmit completions. Transmit
completion processing does not have a processing limit, so it always
runs to completion and never has more work to do when it returns.
Instead, the previous code was returning 'true' anytime there were
packets in the queue that weren't still in the process of being
transmitted. The effect was that the driver would continuously
reschedule a task to process TX completions in effect running at 100%
CPU polling the hardware until it finished transmitting all of the
packets in the ring. Now it will just wait for the next TX completion
interrupt.
- Restart packet transmission when the link becomes active.
- Fix the MSI-X queue interrupt handlers to restart packet transmission if
there are pending packets in the relevant software queue (IFQ or buf_ring)
after processing TX completions. This is the root cause for the OACTIVE
hangs as if the MSI-X queue handler drained all the pending packets from
the TX ring, nothing would ever restart it. As such, remove some
previously-added workarounds to reschedule a task to poll the TX ring
anytime OACTIVE was set.
