TX stalls in this driver, I've also had some
time to evaluate the effectiveness of different
watchdog strategies.
This is the latest attempt, which consolidates
all of the watchdog logic in one place and
consistently detects TX stalls and resets within
a couple of seconds.
(as used in AM335x SoC for BeagleBone).
Among other things:
* Watchdog reset doesn't hang the driver.
* Disconnecting cable doesn't hang the driver.
* ifconfig up/down doesn't hang the driver
* Out-of-memory no longer panics the driver.
Known issues:
* Doesn't have good support for fragmented packets
(calls m_defrag() on TX, assumes RX packets are never fragmented)
* Promisc and allmulti still unimplimented
* addmulti and delmulti still unimplemented
* TX queue still stalls (but watchdog now consistently recovers in ~5s)
* No sysctl monitoring
* Only supports port0
* No switch configuration support
* Not tested on anything but BeagleBone
Committed from: BeagleBone
* Record TX mbufs when we get them so we can release them.
* Set TX/RX mbuf slots to NULL when we are no longer responsible for them
* Move dma sync on RX into RX intr routine
