in the netisr case. This would result in a lock reversal. This
fixes the net.isr.enable=1 case. Better performance might be
obtained by chaining all packets received, dropping the lock, and
then calling if_input() on each one.

structure, which is new to the 82550 and 82551, is used to transmit
a packet. This appears to fix the packet truncation problem that was
observed when using 82550-based fxp cards to transmit ICMP or fragmented
UDP packets of certain lengths which only had one to three bytes in the
second and final mbuf of the packet. This matches a note in the "Intel
8255x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controller Family Open Source Software Developer
Manual", which says that the hardware parse bit should be set when sending
these types of packets.
There have also been unconfirmed reports of similar problems when
transmitting TCP packets, which should not be affected by the above
mentioned change because the hardware parse bit was already being set
if the stack requested hardware checksumming of the packet. If the
problem remains, the use of the IPCB structure can be disabled to
cause the driver to fall back to using the older 82559 interface with
82550-based cards by setting
hint.fxp.UNIT_NUMBER.ipcbxmit_disable
to a non-zero value at boot time, or using kenv to set this variable
before using kldload to load the fxp driver.

on if_fxp cards. When flow control is enabled, if the operating system
doesn't acknowledge the packet buffer filling, the card will begin to
generate ethernet quench packets, but appears to get into a feedback
loop of some sort, hosing local switches. This is a temporary workaround
for 5.1: the ability to configure flow control should probably be
exposed by some or another management interface on ethernet link layer
devices.

Check for suspend before the device polling, rather than after it.
Check to see if the current thread owns the lock in ioctl and return
EBUSY if it does.
This advances the locking to the point that I can eject my fxp card 10
times in a row, but I agree with Jeff Hsu that we need to get the
network layer locking finished before chasing more of the races here
(actually, he doesn't think this set is worth it even). There's a
number of races between FXP_LOCK in detach and all other users of
FXP_LOCK, and this gets back to the 'device with sleepers being
forcibly detached' problem as well...
1) always call fxp_stop in fxp_detach. Since we don't read from
the card, there's no need to carefully look at things with
bus_child_present.
2) Call FXP_UNLOCK() before calling bus_teardown_intr to avoid
a possible deadlock reported by jhb.
3) add gone to the softc. Set it to true in detach.
4) Return immediately if gone is true in fxp_ioctl
5) Return immediately if gone is true in fxp_intr
- Add fxp_start_body() and change fxp_start() to just acquire locks and
then call fxp_start_body(). Places that would call fxp_start() with
locks held (mutex recursion) now call fxp_start_body() directly.
Remove MTX_RECURSE flag from sc_mtx. [gallatin]
- Change fxp_attach() to work without the softc lock, saving interrupt
hooking until the head of fxp_attach().
- Call ether_ifattach() before overriding ifp parameters. This reverts
part of 1.155.
- Remove multiple error paths in fxp_attach().
- Teardown interrupt in fxp_detach() before unlocking the softc.
- Make sure mutex is not held in fxp_release()
- Delete the miibus instance and/or self in fxp_release(), not in
fxp_detach(). This can happen if attach fails partway through.
- Move ifmedia_removeall to fxp_release() since attach may fail after
media have been allocated.
- Add locking to fxp_suspend, fxp_resume, fxp_start, fxp_intr,
fxp_poll, fxp_tick, fxp_ioctl, fxp_watchdog.
- Pass in ifp to fxp_intr_body since its callers sometimes already use
it.
- Add compatibility define for INTR_MPSAFE for 4.x. [gallatin]

- 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.)
PCIM_CMD_MEMEN and PCIM_CMD_BUSMASTEREN, becaise some braindead
BIOSes (such as one found in my vprmatrix notebook) forget

- Remove a useless device_is_alive() check.
- Disable interrupts if bus_child_present() so that this
check is more useful.
This fixes the hangs I was seeing when unloading the fxp driver.
Suggestions from: hsu, njl
- Be sure to teardown the interrupt first so that "kldunload if_fxp"
doesn't panic the box. It's now deadlocking rather than crashing,
which isn't really better, but I'm unsure this is fxp(4)'s fault.
- Change a bus_dmamap_sync() call to also do a BUS_DMASYNC_PREREAD
now that we can pass several operations.
we're using an atomic operation to clear the suspend flag
in fxp_start(). Since other architectures may need the
same thing, we want to do it all the time and not only
in the __alpha__ case. However, we don't want to use
atomic operations on 16-bit integers, because those may
not be available on any architecture. We're thus faking
a 32-bit atomic operation here. This patch also deals
with endianness here.
which deals with both endianness and alignment issues.
- Collect low-hanging fruits for endianness safety.
- Use 0xffffffff instead of -1 where appropriate.
other allocations/initializations have been successful. I kinda
doubt it will fix the recent breakage that some people are seeing,
but this could have caused problems for sure.
This patch is rather big because I had to significantly redesign
the driver to make the busdma conversion possible. Most notably,
hardware and software structures were carefully splitted to get
rid of all the structs overlapping evilness.
Special thanks to phk and Richard Puga <puga@mauibuilt.com> for
providing me with fxp(4) hardware to do this work.

the fxp driver. This is enabled only for the 82550/82551 chips
(PCI revision code 12 or 13). RX and TX checksum offload are
both supported. Transmit offload is limited to TCP and UDP only
right now: there seems to be a problem with IP header checksumming
on transmit in some cases.
This chip has hardware VLAN support as well. I hope to enable
support for this eventually.
o don't strip the Ethernet header from inbound packets; pass packets
up the stack intact (required significant changes to some drivers)
o reference common definitions in net/ethernet.h (e.g. ETHER_ALIGN)
o track ether_ifattach/ether_ifdetach API changes
o track bpf changes (use BPF_TAP and BPF_MTAP)
o track vlan changes (ifnet capabilities, revised processing scheme, etc.)
o use if_input to pass packets "up"
o call ether_ioctl for default handling of ioctls

just limited to the DEVICE_POLLING case. This removes the FXP_RFA_RNRMARK
hack, and replaces it with a softc flag that is used to record when
the handling of a no-resource condition was deferred due to running
out of DEVICE_POLLING cycles. This was tested on -stable, but the
code is essentially the same as in -current. It should only affect
the case where DEVICE_POLLING is defined.
The details of the mechanism behind the crashes are still uncertain
but the most likely cause seems to be some kind of hardware confusion
when the no-resource recovery code is accidentally invoked while
the receiver is still active. This could have happened if the
hardware left the 0x4000 bit of the RFA status word set. The comments
in the commit log for revision 1.142 stating that the driver could
clash with the hardware writing to this status word were not correct.

behaviour of the hardware: a possibly reserved bit of the receive
descriptor (RFA) `status' field is borrowed to record no-resource
(RNR) events, and the same status field is read and written to at
a time that may clash with the hardware updating this field.
There is no hardware documentation available to determine if these
things are safe to do; the second issue almost certainly isn't, and
the first is only safe if there is documentation saying that this
bit is free to be used by the driver. The PR referenced below
provides extremely convincing evidence that the changes cause random
crashes on some (unusual) hardware.
Since these features are only required by the DEVICE_POLLING case,
this commit makes their use conditional on that option. It does not
change the DEVICE_POLLING case, but at least people with the rare
hardware on which this code causes problems can now avoid the crashes
by not enabling DEVICE_POLLING.

1.131 is slightly broken, and I would commit the fix to that here, but it
has been reported that any deviation from the original code is causing

Until those issues have been figured out, going back to the original
