mark controller's capability. Controllers that have jumbo frame
support sets MSK_FLAG_JUMBO, and controllers that does not support
checksum offloading for jumbo frames will set MSK_FLAG_JUMBO_NOCSUM.
For Fast Ethernet controllers it will set MSK_FLAG_FASTETHER and it
would be used in link state handling.
While here, disable Tx checksum offloading if jumbo frame is used
on controllers that does not have Tx checksum offloading capability
for jumbo frame(e.g. Yukon EC Ultra).
for jumbo frame.
o Nuke unneeded jlist lock which was used to protect jumbo buffer
management in local allocator.
o Added a new tunable hw.mskc.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 msk(4). If msk(4) encounter the allocation
failure it just disables jumbo frame support and continues to
work without your intervention.
Using local allocator had several drawbacks such as requirement of
large amount of continuous kernel memory and fixed (small) number
of available buffers. The need for large continuous memory resulted
in failure of loading driver with kldload on running systems.
Also small number of buffer used in local allocator showed poor
performance for some applications.
have hardware ram buffer. The silicon bug seem to be triggered by
pause frames if receive buffer is not aligned on FIFO word(8 bytes).
To workaround the issue, make sure to align Rx buffers on 8 bytes.
Unfortunately this workaround requires yet another Rx fixup for
strict alignment architecture machines to align IP header.
For newer hardwares that lacks ram buffer may not have this bug so
check number of available ram buffer size to see the existence of
ram buffer.

frames. This bug seems to happen on certain hardware model/revision
(e.g. 88E8053) but it's not identified which hardwares are affected.
Revision 1.4 of if_mskreg.h was not enough to workaround the bug.
To workaround it, inrease GMAC FIFO threshold by one FIFO word to
flush received pause frames.

only at address 0 which is supposed to be the only valid phy address
on Marvell PHY. The more correct solution would be masking PHY
address ranges allowable in PHY probe routine. Unfortunately,
FreeBSD has no way to retrict the PHY address ranges or to pass special
flags to PHY driver.
This change assumes that PHY hardwares attached to msk(4) would be
Marvell made 88E11xx PHY.
With this changes the phantom phys attached on 88E8036(Yukon FE)
should disappear.

publicly available datasheet for Yukon II and don't know what
bug/workaround exist for the specific hardware revision. Also I don't
think the vendor will release hardware errata in near future.
The hardware feature lists were not used at all except setting water
mark registers. Since msk(4) should know exact chip model/revision
number to decide which hardware capability could be used the extra
feature lists were redundant.
o Enable jumbo frame support for EC Ultra and disable jumbo frame
for FE.
o Enable store and forward mode for standard MTU sized frame.
o Enable TSO for EC Ultra. However TSO/checksum offload is disabled
for jumbo frame case. Because EC Ultra can't use store and forward
mode for jumbo frame TSO/checksum offload is not available.
o Adjust Tx GMAC almost empty threshold value and add a jumbo frame
water mark. The maic value was obtained from Marvell's sk98lin
driver.
o Fix EC Ultra chip revision number.
MCLBYTES for the segment size but it used too many Tx descriptors in
TSO case.
While I'm here adjust maximum size of the sum of all segment lengths
in a given DMA mapping to 65535, the maximum size, in bytes, of a IP
packet.
It seems that valid pause frames(Tx flow control) cause GMAC to hang
such that it resulted in watchdog timeout. As a work around don't
flush Rx MAC FIFO if we've received pause frames.

controller. Due to lack of documentation, this driver is based on the
code from sk(4) and Marvell's myk(4) driver for FreeBSD. I've also
adopted the OpenBSD interface name, msk(4) in order to reduce naming
differences between BSDs.
The msk(4) driver supports the following Gigabit Ethernet adapters.
o SysKonnect SK-9Sxx Gigabit Ethernet
o SysKonnect SK-9Exx Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8021CU Gigabit Ethernet
o Marvell Yukon 88E8021 SX/LX Gigabit Ethernet

Unlike OpenBSD/NetBSD msk(4), the msk(4) driver supports all hardware
features including TCP/UDP checksum offload for transmit, MSI, TCP
segmentation offload(TSO), hardware VLAN tag stripping/insertion,
and jumbo frames(up to 9022 bytes). The only unsupported hardware
feature except RLMT is Rx checksum offload which I don't know how to
make it work reliably.
Known Issues:
It seems msk(4) does not work on the second port of dual port NIC.
(The first port works without problems.)
Thanks to Marvell for releasing the BSD licensed myk(4) driver and
thanks to all users helped fixing bugs.
