allocator for jumbo frame.
o Removed unneeded jlist lock which was used to manage jumbo
buffers.
o Don't reinitialize hardware if MTU was not changed.
o Added additional check for minimal MTU size.
o Added a new tunable hw.skc.jumbo_disable to disable jumbo frame
support for the driver. The tunable could be set for systems that
do not need to use jumbo frames and it would save
(9K * number of Rx descriptors) bytes kernel memory.
o Jumbo buffer allocation failure is no longer critical error for
the operation of sk(4). If sk(4) encounter the allocation failure
it just disables jumbo frame support and continues to work without
user intervention.
With these changes jumbo frame performance of sk(4) was slightly
increased and users should not encounter jumbo buffer allocation
failure. Previously sk(4) tried to allocate physically contiguous
memory, 3388KB for 256 Rx descriptors. Sometimes that amount of
contiguous memory region could not be available for running systems
which in turn resulted in failure of loading the driver.

OpenBSD changes. With these changes, PHY part of the driver becomes
functional (it senses media changes and negotiates speed just fine),
previously it just hang with no PHY message, but no data goes through
interface (error message is "can not stop transfer of Tx/Rx descriptor).
Hopefully somebody with more clue/free time will be able to pick up
after me.
- MPSAFE. No more recursive lock required.
- bus_dma(9) conversion. I think it should work on all architectures.
- optimized Rx handler for each normal and jumbo frames. Previously
sk(4) used jumbo frame management code to handle normal sized
frames. As the handler needs an additional lock to protect jumbo
frame management structure from races, it used two lock operations
for each received packet. Now sk(4) uses single lock operation for
normal frame.(Jumbo frame still needs two lock operations as before.)
The hardware supports DMA scatter operations for Rx descriptors such
that it's possible to take advantagee of m_cljget(9) for jumbo frames.
However, due to a unknown reasons it resulted in poor performance on
sparc64. So I dropped m_cljget(9) approach. This should be revisited
since it would reduce one lock operation for jumbo frame handling.
- Tx TCP/Rx IP checksum offload support. According to the data sheet
of SK-NET GENESIS the hardware supports Rx IP/TCP/UDP offload.
But I couldn't make it work on my Yukon hardware. So Rx TCP/UDP was
disabled at the moment. It seems that newer Yukon chips can support
Tx UDP checksum offload too. But I need more documentation first.
- Added more wait time in reading VPD data. It seems that ASUS LOM
takes a very long time to respond VPD read signal.
- Added an additional lock for MII register access callbacks.
- Added more strict received packet validation routine. Previously it
passed corrupted packets to upper layers under certain conditions.
- A new function sk_yukon_tick() to handle auto-negotiation properly.
- Interrupt handler now checks shared interrupt source and protects
the interrupt handler from NULL pointer dereference which was caused
by odd status word value. The status word can returns 0xffffffff if
cable is unplugged while Rx/Tx/auto-negotiation is in progress.
- suspend/resume support(not tested).
- Added Rx/Tx FIFO flush routine for Yukon
- Activate Tx descriptor poll timer in order to protect possible loss
of SK_TXBMU_TX_START command. Previously the driver continuously issued
SK_TXBMU_TX_START when it notices pending Tx descriptors not processed
yet in interrupt handler. That approach would add additional PCI
write access overhead under high Tx load situations and it might fail
if the first SK_TXBMU_TX_START was lost and no interrupt is generated
from the first SK_TXBMU_TX_START command.
- s/printf/if_printf/, s/printf/device_printf/, Axe sk_unit in softc.
- Setting multicast/station address is now safe on strict-alignment
architectures.
- Fix long standing bug in VLAN header length setup.
- Added/corrected register definitions for Yukon.
(Register information from Linux skge driver.)
- Added Rx status definition for Marvell Yukon/XaQti XMAC.
(Rx status register information from Linux skge driver.)
- Update if_oerrors if we encounter watchdog error.
- callout(9) conversion
Special thanks to jkim who let me know RX status differences between
Yukon and XaQti XMAC.
It seems that there is still occasional watchdog timeout error but I
couldn't reproduce it and need more information to analyze it from
users.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have
been replaced with a struct ifnet pointer to be filled by a call to the
new function, if_alloc(). The layer 2 common structure is also allocated
via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.
- The second argument to ether_ifattach is now always the mac address
from driver private storage rather than sometimes being ac_enaddr.

Do our best to plug some memory leaks (VPD data, jumbo memory buffer,...).
Log if we cannot free because memory still in use[1].
Change locking to avoid ''acquiring duplicate lock of same

[1] This change does not solve problems if buffers are still in use when
unloading if_sk.ko. There is ongoing work which will address jumbogram

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

that should be better.
The old code counted references to mbuf clusters by using the offset
of the cluster from the start of memory allocated for mbufs and
clusters as an index into an array of chars, which did the reference
counting. If the external storage was not a cluster then reference
counting had to be done by the code using that external storage.
NetBSD's system of linked lists of mbufs was cosidered, but Alfred
felt it would have locking issues when the kernel was made more
SMP friendly.
The system implimented uses a pool of unions to track external
storage. The union contains an int for counting the references and
a pointer for forming a free list. The reference counts are
incremented and decremented atomically and so should be SMP friendly.
This system can track reference counts for any sort of external
storage.
Access to the reference counting stuff is now through macros defined
in mbuf.h, so it should be easier to make changes to the system in
the future.
The possibility of storing the reference count in one of the
referencing mbufs was considered, but was rejected 'cos it would
often leave extra mbufs allocated. Storing the reference count in
the cluster was also considered, but because the external storage
may not be a cluster this isn't an option.
The size of the pool of reference counters is available in the
stats provided by "netstat -m".

- Break out the support for the XMAC II's PHY into an miibus driver.
- Reorganize the probe/attach stuff using newbus. Each XMAC is now
attached to the parent GEnesis controller using newbus. This is
necessary since each XMAC must also have an attached miibus, and
the miibus read/write register routines need to be able to get
at the softc struct for each XMAC, not the one for the parent
controller. This allows me to get rid of the grotty code I added
for selecting the unit numbers for the ifnet interfaces: the unit
numbers are now derived from the newbus-assigned unit numbers,
which should track with the ifnet interface numbers. I think.
At the very least, there should never be any collisions.

gigabit ethernet adapters. This includes two single port cards
(single mode and multimode fiber) and two dual port cards (also single
mode and multimode fiber). SysKonnect is currently the only
vendor with a dual port gigabit ethernet NIC.
The ports on dual port adapters are treated as separate network
interfaces. Thus, if you have an SK-9844 dual port SX card, you
should have both sk0 and sk1 interfaces attached. Dual port cards
are implemented using two XMAC II chips connected to a single
SysKonnect GEnesis controller. Hence, dual port cards are really
one PCI device, as opposed to two separate PCI devices connected
through a PCI to PCI bridge. Note that SysKonnect's drivers use
the two ports for failover purposes rather that as two separate
interfaces, plus they don't support jumbo frames. This applies to
their Linux driver too. :)
Support is provided for hardware multicast filtering, BPF and
jumbo frames. The SysKonnect cards support TCP checksum offload
however this feature is not currently enabled (hopefully it will
be once we get checksum offload support).
There are still a few things that need to be implemeted, like
the ability to communicate with the on-board LM80 voltage/temperature
monitor, but I wanted to get the driver under CVS control and into
-current so people could bang on it.
A big thanks for SysKonnect for making all their programming info
for these cards (and for their FDDI and token ring cards) available
without NDA (see www.syskonnect.com).
