* Fix 82574 Link Status Changes, carrying the OTHER mask bit around as
needed.
* Move igb-class LSC re-arming out of FAST back into the handler.
* Clarify spurious/other interrupt re-arms in FAST.
In MSI-X mode, 82574 and igb-class devices use an interrupt filter to
handle Link Status Changes. We want to do LSC re-arms in the handler
to take advantage of autoclear (EIAC) single shot behavior.
82574 uses 'Other' in ICR and IMS for LSC interrupt types when in MSI-X
mode, so we need to set and re-arm the 'Other' bit during attach and
after ICR reads in the FAST handler if not an LSC or after handling on
LSC due to autoclearing.
This work was primarily done to address the referenced PR, but inspired
some clarification and improvement for igb-class devices once the
intentions of previous bug fix attempts became clearer.

r241119 that's performed globally by device_attach(9).
- As for the EM-class of devices, em(4) supports multiple queues
and MSI-X respectively only with 82574 devices. However, since
the conversion to iflib(4), em(4) relies on the interrupt type
fallback mechanism, i. e. MSI-X -> MSI -> INTx, of iflib(4) to
figure out the interrupt type to use for the EM-class (as well
as the IGB-class) of MACs. Moreover, despite the datasheet for
82583V not mentioning any support of MSI-X, there actually are
82583V devices out there that report a varying number of MSI-X
messages as supported. The interrupt type fallback of iflib(4)
is causing two failure modes depending on the actual number of
MSI-X messages supported for such instances of 82583V:
1) With only one MSI-X message supported, none is left for the
RX/TX queues as that one message gets assigned to the admin
interrupt. Worse, later on - which will be addressed with a
separate fix - iflib(4) interprets that one messages as MSI
or INTx to be set up, but fails to actually do so as it has
previously called pci_alloc_msix(9). [1, 2]
2) With more message supported, their distribution is okay but
then em_if_msix_intr_assign() doesn't work for 82583V, with
the interface being left in a non-working state, too. [3]
Thus, let em_if_attach_pre() indicate to iflib(4) to try MSI-X
with 82574 only, and at most MSI for the remainder of EM-class
devices.
While at it, remove "try_second_bar" as it's polarity inverted
and not actually needed.
- Remove code from em_if_timer() that effectively is a NOP since
the conversion to iflib(4) ("trigger" is no longer read).
While at it, let the comment for em_if_timer() reflect reality
after said conversion.
- Implement an ifdi_watchdog_reset method which only updates the
em(4) "watchdog_events" counter but doesn't perform any reset,
so that the em(4) "watchdog_timeouts" SYSCTL (iflib(4) doesn't
provide a counterpart) reflects reality and these timeouts add
to IFCOUNTER_OERRORS again after the iflib(4) conversion.
- Remove the "mbuf_defrag_fail" and "tx_dma_fail" SYSCTLS; since
the iflib(4) conversion, associated counters are disconnected,
but iflib(4) provides "mbuf_defrag_failed" and "tx_map_failed"
respectively as equivalents.
- Move the description preceding lem_smartspeed() to the correct
spot before em_reset() and bring back appropriate comments for
{igb,em}_initialize_rss_mapping() and lem_smartspeed() lost in
the iflib(4) conversion.
- Adapt some other function descriptions and INIT_DEBUGOUT() use
to match reality after the iflib(4) conversion.
- Put the debugging message of em_enable_vectors_82574() (missed
in r343578) under bootverbose, too.

bus_teardown_intr(9) before pci_release_msi(9).
- Ensure that iflib(4) and associated drivers pass correct RIDs to
bus_release_resource(9) by obtaining the RIDs via rman_get_rid(9)
on the corresponding resources instead of using the RIDs initially
passed to bus_alloc_resource_any(9) as the latter function may
change those RIDs. Solely em(4) for the ioport resource (but not
others) and bnxt(4) were using the correct RIDs by caching the ones
returned by bus_alloc_resource_any(9).
- Change the logic of iflib_msix_init() around to only map the MSI-X
BAR if MSI-X is actually supported, i. e. pci_msix_count(9) returns
> 0. Otherwise the "Unable to map MSIX table " message triggers for
devices that simply don't support MSI-X and the user may think that
something is wrong while in fact everything works as expected.
- Put some (mostly redundant) debug messages emitted by iflib(4)
and em(4) during attachment under bootverbose. The non-verbose
output of em(4) seen during attachment now is close to the one
prior to the conversion to iflib(4).
- Replace various variants of spelling "MSI-X" (several in messages)
with "MSI-X" as used in the PCI specifications.
- Remove some trailing whitespace from messages emitted by iflib(4)
and change them to consistently start with uppercase.
- Remove some obsolete comments about releasing interrupts from

- Ever since the workaround for the silicon bug of TSO4 causing MAC hangs
was committed in r295133, CSUM_TSO always got disabled unconditionally
by em(4) on the first invocation of em_init_locked(). However, even with
that problem fixed, it turned out that for at least e. g. 82579 not all
necessary TSO workarounds are in place, still causing MAC hangs even at
Gigabit speed. Thus, for stable/11, TSO usage was deliberately disabled
in r323292 (r323293 for stable/10) for the EM-class by default, allowing
users to turn it on if it happens to work with their particular EM MAC
in a Gigabit-only environment.
In head, the TSO workaround for speeds other than Gigabit was lost with
the conversion to iflib(9) in r311849 (possibly along with another one
or two TSO workarounds). Yet at the same time, for EM-class MACs TSO4
got enabled by default again, causing device hangs. Therefore, change the
default for this hardware class back to have TSO4 off, allowing users
to turn it on manually if it happens to work in their environment as
we do in stable/{10,11}. An alternative would be to add a whitelist of
EM-class devices where TSO4 actually is reliable with the workarounds in
place, but given that the advantage of TSO at Gigabit speed is rather
limited - especially with the overhead of these workarounds -, that's
really not worth it. [1]
This change includes the addition of an isc_capabilities to struct
if_softc_ctx so iflib(9) can also handle interface capabilities that
shouldn't be enabled by default which is used to handle the default-off
capabilities of e1000 as suggested by shurd@ and moving their handling
from em_setup_interface() to em_if_attach_pre() accordingly.
- Although 82543 support TSO4 in theory, the former lem(4) didn't have
support for TSO4, presumably because TSO4 is even more broken in the
LEM-class of MACs than the later EM ones. Still, TSO4 for LEM-class
devices was enabled as part of the conversion to iflib(9) in r311849,
causing device hangs. So revert back to the pre-r311849 behavior of
not supporting TSO4 for LEM-class at all, which includes not creating
a TSO DMA tag in iflib(9) for devices not having IFCAP_TSO4 set. [2]
- In fact, the FreeBSD TCP stack can handle a TSO size of IP_MAXPACKET
(65535) rather than FREEBSD_TSO_SIZE_MAX (65518). However, the TSO
DMA must have a maxsize of the maximum TSO size plus the size of a
VLAN header for software VLAN tagging. The iflib(9) converted em(4),
thus, first correctly sets scctx->isc_tx_tso_size_max to EM_TSO_SIZE
in em_if_attach_pre(), but later on overrides it with IP_MAXPACKET
in em_setup_interface() (apparently, left-over from pre-iflib(9)
times). So remove the later and correct iflib(9) to correctly cap
the maximum TSO size reported to the stack at IP_MAXPACKET. While at
it, let iflib(9) use if_sethwtsomax*().
This change includes the addition of isc_tso_max{seg,}size DMA engine
constraints for the TSO DMA tag to struct if_shared_ctx and letting
iflib_txsd_alloc() automatically adjust the maxsize of that tag in case
IFCAP_VLAN_MTU is supported as requested by shurd@.
- Move the if_setifheaderlen(9) call for adjusting the maximum Ethernet
header length from {ixgbe,ixl,ixlv,ixv,em}_setup_interface() to iflib(9)
so adjustment is automatically done in case IFCAP_VLAN_MTU is supported.
As a consequence, this adjustment now is also done in case of bnxt(4)
which missed it previously.
- Move the reduction of the maximum TSO segment count reported to the
stack by the number of m_pullup(9) calls (which in the worst case,
can add another mbuf and, thus, the requirement for another DMA
segment each) in the transmit path for performance reasons from
em_setup_interface() to iflib_txsd_alloc() as these pull-ups are now
done in iflib_parse_header() rather than in the no longer existing
em_xmit(). Moreover, this optimization applies to all drivers using
iflib(9) and not just em(4); all in-tree iflib(9) consumers still
have enough room to handle full size TSO packets. Also, reduce the
adjustment to the maximum number of m_pullup(9)'s now performed in
iflib_parse_header().
- Prior to the conversion of em(4)/igb(4)/lem(4) and ixl(4) to iflib(9)
in r311849 and r335338 respectively, these drivers didn't enable
IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER by default due to VLAN events not being passed
through by lagg(4). With iflib(9), IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER was turned on
by default but also lagg(4) was fixed in that regard in r203548. So
just remove the now redundant and defunct IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER handling
in {em,ixl,ixlv}_setup_interface().
- Nuke other redundant IFCAP_* setting in {em,ixl,ixlv}_setup_interface()
which is (more completely) already done in {em,ixl,ixlv}_if_attach_pre()
now.
- Remove some redundant/dead setting of scctx->isc_tx_csum_flags in
em_if_attach_pre().
- Remove some IFCAP_* duplicated either directly or indirectly (e. g.
via IFCAP_HWCSUM) in {EM,IGB,IXL}_CAPS.
- Don't bother to fiddle with IFCAP_HWSTATS in ixgbe(4)/ixgbev(4) as
iflib(9) adds that capability unconditionally.
- Remove some unused macros from em(4).
- Bump __FreeBSD_version as some of the above changes require the modules
of drivers using iflib(9) to be recompiled.

This should bring -CURRENT and the github repo into close enough sync to
allow small feature branches rather than a large chain of interdependant
patches being developed out of tree. The reset of the synchronization
should be able to be completed on github by splitting the remaining
changes that are not yet ready into short feature branches for later
review as smaller commits.
Here is a summary of changes included in this patch:
1) More checks when INVARIANTS are enabled for eariler problem
detection
2) Group Task Queue cleanups
- Fix use of duplicate shortdesc for gtaskqueue malloc type.
Some interfaces such as memguard(9) use the short description to
identify malloc types, so duplicates should be avoided.
3) Allow gtaskqueues to use ithreads in addition to taskqueues
- In some cases, this can improve performance
4) Better logging when taskqgroup_attach*() fails to set interrupt
affinity.
5) Do not start gtaskqueues until they're needed
6) Have mp_ring enqueue function enter the ABDICATED rather than BUSY
state. This moves the TX to the gtaskq and allows processing to
continue faster as well as make TX batching more likely.
7) Add an ift_txd_errata function to struct if_txrx. This allows
drivers to inspect/modify mbufs before transmission.
8) Add a new IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM for drivers to indicate they need
checksums zeroed for checksum offload to work. This avoids modifying
packet data in the TX path when possible.
9) Use ithreads for iflib I/O instead of taskqueues
10) Clean up ioctl and support async ioctl functions
11) Prefetch two cachlines from each mbuf instead of one up to 128B. We
often need to parse packet header info beyond 64B.
12) Fix potential memory corruption due to fence post error in
bit_nclear() usage.
13) Improved hang detection and handling
14) If the packet is smaller than MTU, disable the TSO flags.
This avoids extra packet parsing when not needed.
15) Move TCP header parsing inside the IS_TSO?() test.
This avoids extra packet parsing when not needed.
16) Pass chains of mbufs that are not consumed by lro to if_input()
rather call if_input() for each mbuf.
17) Re-arrange packet header loads to get as much work as possible done
before a cache stall.
18) Lock the context when calling IFDI_ATTACH_PRE()/IFDI_ATTACH_POST()/
IFDI_DETACH();
19) Attempt to distribute RX/TX tasks across cores more sensibly,
especially when RX and TX share an interrupt. RX will attempt to
take the first threads on a core, and TX will attempt to take
successive threads.
20) Allow iflib_softirq_alloc_generic() to request affinity to the same
cpus an interrupt has affinity with. This allows TX queues to
ensure they are serviced by the socket the device is on.
21) Add new iflib sysctls to net.iflib:
- timer_int - interval at which to run per-queue timers in ticks
- force_busdma
22) Add new per-device iflib sysctls to dev.X.Y.iflib
- rx_budget allows tuning the batch size on the RX path
- watchdog_events Count of watchdog events seen since load
23) Fix error where netmap_rxq_init() could get called before
IFDI_INIT()
24) e1000: Fixed version of r323008: post-cold sleep instead of DELAY
when waiting for firmware
- After interrupts are enabled, convert all waits to sleeps
- Eliminates e1000 software/firmware synchronization busy waits after
startup
25) e1000: Remove special case for budget=1 in em_txrx.c
- Premature optimization which may actually be incorrect with
multi-segment packets
26) e1000: Split out TX interrupt rather than share an interrupt for
RX and TX.
- Allows better performance by keeping RX and TX paths separate
27) e1000: Separate igb from em code where suitable
Much easier to understand separate functions and "if (is_igb)" than
previous tests like "if (reg_icr & (E1000_ICR_RXSEQ | E1000_ICR_LSC))"

- At Intel it is believed that most of their products support "only"
40 DMA segments so lower {EM,IGB}_MAX_SCATTER accordingly. Actually,
40 is more than plenty to handle full size TSO packets so it doesn't
make sense to further distinguish between MAC variants that really
can do 64 DMA segments. Moreover, capping at 40 DMA segments limits
the stack usage of {em,igb}_xmit() that - given the rare use of more
than these - previously hardly was justifiable, while still being
sufficient to avoid the problems seen with em(4) and EM_MAX_SCATTER
set to 32.
- In igb(4), pass the actually supported TSO parameters up the stack.
Previously, the defaults set in if_attach_internal() were applied,
i. e. a maximum of 35 TSO segments, which made supporting more than
these in the driver pointless. However, this might explain why no
problems were seen with IGB_MAX_SCATTER at 64.
- In em(4), take the 5 m_pullup(9) invocations performed by em_xmit()
in the TSO case into account when reporting TSO parameters upwards.
In the worst case, each of these calls will add another mbuf and,
thus, the requirement for an additional DMA segment. So for best
performance, it doesn't make sense to advertize a maximum of TSO
segments that typically will require defragmentation in em_xmit().
Again, this leaves enough room to handle full size TSO packets.
- Drop TSO macros from if_lem.h given that corresponding MACS don't
support TSO in the first place.

Rely on iterations through the local timer, and the tx queue state to
determine if an actual hang has occurred. Any time a descriptor is used
(packet sent), the tx queue is flagged as busy. Then when txeof runs, it
either clears the flag when all is clean, or resets it to 1 if ANY are
cleaned, if nothing is cleaned it increments the flag.
Local timer simply checks to see if busy ever reaches MAX (10, which
is compile time configurable), and then sets it as HUNG, at that point
there is one more timer cycle in which to have any cleans, if not a
watchdog reset will occur.

There have still been intermittent problems with apparent TX

of fronts have been positive.
EM: there is an important 'chicken bit' fix for 82574 in the shared
code this is supported in the core here.
- The TX path has been tightened up to improve performance. In
particular UDP with jumbo frames was having problems, and the
changes here have improved that.
- OACTIVE has been used more carefully on the theory that some
hangs may be due to a problem in this interaction
- Problems with the RX init code, the "lazy" allocation and
ring initialization has been found to cause problems in some
newer client systems, and as it really is not that big a win
(its not in a hot path) it seems best to remove it.
- HWTSO was broken when VLAN HWTAGGING or HWFILTER is used, I
found this was due to an error in setting up the descriptors
in em_xmit.
IGB:
- TX is also improved here. With multiqueue I realized its very
important to handle OACTIVE only under the CORE lock so there
are no races between the queues.
- Flow Control handling was broken in a couple ways, I have changed
and I hope improved that in this delta.
- UDP also had a problem in the TX path here, it was change to
improve that.
- On some hardware, with the driver static, a weird stray interrupt
seems to sometimes fire and cause a panic in the RX mbuf refresh
code. This is addressed by setting interrupts late in the init
path, and also to set all interrupts bits off at the start of that.
to calculate the outstanding descriptors that need to be
refreshed at any time, and use THAT in rxeof to determine
if refreshing needs to be done. Also change the local_timer
to simply fire off the appropriate interrupt rather than
schedule a tasklet, its simpler.
MFC in two weeks
been undergoing test for some weeks. This improves the RX
mbuf handling to avoid system hang due to depletion. Thanks
to all those who have been testing the code, and to Beezar
Liu for the design changes.
Next the igb driver is updated for similar RX changes, but
also to add new features support for our upcoming i350 family
of adapters.
MFC after a week
- Chasin down bogus watchdogs has led to an improved
design to this handling, the hang decision takes
place in the tx cleanup, with only a simple report
check in local_timer. Our tests have shown no false
watchdogs with this code.
- VLAN fixes from jhb, the shadow vfta should be per
interface, but as global it was not. Thanks John.
- Bug fixes in the support for new PCH2 hardware.
- Thanks for all the help and feedback on the driver,
changes to lem with be coming shortly as well.
- Sync shared code with Intel internal
- New client chipset support added
- em driver - fixes to 82574, limit queues to 1 but use MSIX
- em driver - large changes in TX checksum offload and tso
code, thanks to yongari.
- some small changes for watchdog issues.
- igb driver - local timer watchdog code was missing locking
this and a couple other watchdog related fixes.
- bug in rx discard found by Andrew Boyer, check for null pointer
MFC: a week
discrepencies from the igb version which was the target.
Change the message when neither MSI or MSIX are enabled
and a fallback to Legacy interrupts happen, the existing
message was confusing.
configuration function. For failed memory allocations, em(4)/lem(4)
called panic(9) which is not acceptable on production box.
igb(4)/ixgb(4)/ix(4) allocated the required memory in stack which
consumed 768 bytes of stack memory which looks too big.
To address these issues, allocate multicast array memory in device
attach time and make multicast configuration success under any
conditions. This change also removes the excessive use of memory in
stack.

- code flow in handler could let interrupt be
reenabled when not wanted.
- change where the RX lock is taken to improve
performance.
- adapter->msix is true for MSI systems also,
it needs to explicitly test for 82574, good one :)
