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.
come up as 't6nex' nexus devices with 'cc' ports hanging off them.
The T6 firmware and configuration files will be added as soon as they
are released. For now the driver will try to work with whatever
firmware and configuration is on the card's flash.

- tom_uninit had to be reworked not to hold the adapter lock (a mutex)
around t4_deactivate_uld, which acquires the uld_list_lock.
- the ifc_match for the interface cloner that creates the tracer ifnet
had to be reworked as the kernel calls ifc_match with the global
if_cloners_mtx held.
all T4 and T5 based cards and is useful for analyzing TSO, LRO, TOE, and
for general purpose monitoring without tapping any cxgbe or cxl ifnet
directly.
Tracers on the T4/T5 chips provide access to Ethernet frames exactly as
they were received from or transmitted on the wire. On transmit, a
tracer will capture a frame after TSO segmentation, hw VLAN tag
insertion, hw L3 & L4 checksum insertion, etc. It will also capture
frames generated by the TCP offload engine (TOE traffic is normally
invisible to the kernel). On receive, a tracer will capture a frame
before hw VLAN extraction, runt filtering, other badness filtering,
before the steering/drop/L2-rewrite filters or the TOE have had a go at
it, and of course before sw LRO in the driver.
There are 4 tracers on a chip. A tracer can trace only in one direction
(tx or rx). For now cxgbetool will set up tracers to capture the first
128B of every transmitted or received frame on a given port. This is a
small subset of what the hardware can do. A pseudo ifnet with the same
name as the nexus driver (t4nex0 or t5nex0) will be created for tracing.
The data delivered to this ifnet is an additional copy made inside the
chip. Normal delivery to cxgbe<n> or cxl<n> will be made as usual.
/* watch cxl0, which is the first port hanging off t5nex0. */
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 0 tx0 (watch what cxl0 is transmitting)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer 1 rx0 (watch what cxl0 is receiving)
# cxgbetool t5nex0 tracer list
# tcpdump -i t5nex0 <== all that cxl0 sees and puts on the wire
If you were doing TSO, a tcpdump on cxl0 may have shown you ~64K
"frames" with no L3/L4 checksum but this will show you the frames that
were actually transmitted.
