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.

zero-copy receive of jumbo frames. This eliminates the need for the
jumbo frame allocator implemented in kern/uipc_jumbo.c and sys/jumbo.h.
Remove it.
Note: Zero-copy receive of jumbo frames did not work without these changes;
I believe there was insufficient locking on the jumbo vm object.

Flip sense of D_NOGIANT flag to D_NEEDGIANT, this involves removing

A number of strategic drivers have been left behind by caution, and a few

we ever want to detect that kind of problems, this is not the right
place to do this since every network driver would be affected by
such desynchronisation.
if attach succeeded. device_is_alive just tells us that probe
succeeded. Since we were using it to do things like detach net
interfaces, this caused problems when there were errors in the attach
routine.
Symptoms of problem reported by: martin blapp
- Unconditionally call *_stop() if device is in the tree. This is to
prevent callouts from happening after the device is gone. Checks for
bus_child_present() should be added in the future to keep from touching
potentially non-existent hardware in *_detach(). Found by iedowse@.
- Always check for and free miibus children, even if the device is not in
the tree since some failure cases could have gotten here.
- Call ether_ifdetach() in the irq setup failure case
- ti(4), xl(4): move ifmedia_init() calls to the beginning of attach so
that ifmedia_removeall() can be unconditionally called on detach. There
is no way to detect whether ifmedia has been initialized without using
a separate variable (as tl(4) does).
- Add comments to indicate assumptions of code path
network layer (ether).
- Don't abuse module names to facilitate ifconfig module loading;
such abuse isn't really needed. (And if we do need type information
associated with a module then we should make it explicit and not
use hacks.)
- Remove locking of the softc in the attach method, instead depending on
bus_setup_intr being at the end of attach (delaying interrupt enable until
after ether_ifattach is called)
- Call *_detach directly in the error case of attach, depending on checking
in detach to only free resources that were allocated. This puts all
resource freeing in one place, avoiding thinkos that lead to memory leaks.
- Add bus_child_present check to calls to *_stop in the detach method to
be sure hw is present before touching its registers.
- Remove bzero softc calls since device_t should do this for us.
- dc: move interrupt allocation back where it was before. It was unnecessary
to move it. This reverts part of 1.88
- rl: move irq allocation before ether_ifattach. Problems might have been
caused by allocating the irq after enabling interrupts on the card.
- rl: call rl_stop before ether_ifdetach
- sf: call sf_stop before ether_ifdetach
- sis: add missed free of sis_tag
- sis: check errors from tag creation
- sis: move dmamem_alloc and dmamap_load to happen at same time as tag creation
- sk: remove duplicate initialization of sk_dev
- ste: add missed bus_generic_detach
- ti: call ti_stop before ether_ifdetach
- ti: add missed error setting in ti_rdata alloc failure
- vr: add missed error setting in I/O, memory mapping cases
- xl: add missed error setting in I/O, memory mapping cases
- xl: remove multi-level goto on attach failure
- xl: move dmamem_alloc and dmamap_load to happen at same time as tag creation
- Calls to free(9) are unconditional because it is valid to call free with a
null pointer.

MAKEDEV: Add MAKEDEV glue for the ti(4) device nodes.
ti.4: Update the ti(4) man page to include information on the
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT and TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS kernel options,
and also include information about the new character
device interface and the associated ioctls.
man9/Makefile: Add jumbo.9 and zero_copy.9 man pages and associated
links.
jumbo.9: New man page describing the jumbo buffer allocator
interface and operation.
zero_copy.9: New man page describing the general characteristics of
the zero copy send and receive code, and what an
application author should do to take advantage of the
zero copy functionality.
NOTES: Add entries for ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS, TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS,
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT, MSIZE, and MCLSHIFT.
conf/files: Add uipc_jumbo.c and uipc_cow.c.
conf/options: Add the 5 options mentioned above.
kern_subr.c: Receive side zero copy implementation. This takes
"disposable" pages attached to an mbuf, gives them to
a user process, and then recycles the user's page.
This is only active when ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on
and the kern.ipc.zero_copy.receive sysctl variable is
set to 1.
uipc_cow.c: Send side zero copy functions. Takes a page written
by the user and maps it copy on write and assigns it
kernel virtual address space. Removes copy on write
mapping once the buffer has been freed by the network
stack.
uipc_jumbo.c: Jumbo disposable page allocator code. This allocates
(optionally) disposable pages for network drivers that
want to give the user the option of doing zero copy
receive.
uipc_socket.c: Add kern.ipc.zero_copy.{send,receive} sysctls that are
enabled if ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on.
Add zero copy send support to sosend() -- pages get
mapped into the kernel instead of getting copied if
they meet size and alignment restrictions.
uipc_syscalls.c:Un-staticize some of the sf* functions so that they
can be used elsewhere. (uipc_cow.c)
if_media.c: In the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl in ifmedia_ioctl(), avoid
calling malloc() with M_WAITOK. Return an error if
the M_NOWAIT malloc fails.
The ti(4) driver and the wi(4) driver, at least, call
this with a mutex held. This causes witness warnings
for 'ifconfig -a' with a wi(4) or ti(4) board in the
system. (I've only verified for ti(4)).
ip_output.c: Fragment large datagrams so that each segment contains
a multiple of PAGE_SIZE amount of data plus headers.
This allows the receiver to potentially do page
flipping on receives.
if_ti.c: Add zero copy receive support to the ti(4) driver. If
TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS is not defined, it now uses the
jumbo(9) buffer allocator for jumbo receive buffers.
Add a new character device interface for the ti(4)
driver for the new debugging interface. This allows
(a patched version of) gdb to talk to the Tigon board
and debug the firmware. There are also a few additional
debugging ioctls available through this interface.
Add header splitting support to the ti(4) driver.
Tweak some of the default interrupt coalescing
parameters to more useful defaults.
Add hooks for supporting transmit flow control, but
leave it turned off with a comment describing why it
is turned off.
if_tireg.h: Change the firmware rev to 12.4.11, since we're really
at 12.4.11 plus fixes from 12.4.13.
Add defines needed for debugging.
Remove the ti_stats structure, it is now defined in
sys/tiio.h.
ti_fw.h: 12.4.11 firmware.
ti_fw2.h: 12.4.11 firmware, plus selected fixes from 12.4.13,
and my header splitting patches. Revision 12.4.13
doesn't handle 10/100 negotiation properly. (This
firmware is the same as what was in the tree previously,
with the addition of header splitting support.)
sys/jumbo.h: Jumbo buffer allocator interface.
sys/mbuf.h: Add a new external mbuf type, EXT_DISPOSABLE, to
indicate that the payload buffer can be thrown away /
flipped to a userland process.
socketvar.h: Add prototype for socow_setup.
tiio.h: ioctl interface to the character portion of the ti(4)
driver, plus associated structure/type definitions.
uio.h: Change prototype for uiomoveco() so that we'll know
whether the source page is disposable.
ufs_readwrite.c:Update for new prototype of uiomoveco().
vm_fault.c: In vm_fault(), check to see whether we need to do a page
based copy on write fault.
vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This
does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except
that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether
it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre.
This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a
mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.)
vm_object_allocate() is implemented as a call to
vm_object_allocate_wait() with the malloc flag set to
M_WAITOK.
vm_object.h: Add prototype for vm_object_allocate_wait().
vm_page.c: Add page-based copy on write setup, clear and fault
routines.
vm_page.h: Add page based COW function prototypes and variable in
the vm_page structure.

code, and to all the other folks who have tested and reviewed this code
over the years.
