To workaround the hardware bug, always pad short frames if Tx IP

bug in IP checksum offload handling. NetBSD manually pads short
frames only when the length of IP frame is less than 28 bytes but I
chose 60 bytes to safety. Also unconditionally set IP checksum

o Increased number of Rx/Tx descriptors to 256 for 8169 GigEs
because it's hard to push the hardware to the limit with default
64 descriptors.
TSO requires large number of Tx descriptors to pass a full sized
TCP segment(65535 bytes IP packet) to hardware. Previously it
consumed 32 Tx descriptors, assuming MCLBYTES DMA segment size,
to send the TCP segment which means re(4) couldn't queue more
than two full sized IP packets.
For 8139C+ it still uses 64 Rx/Tx descriptors due to its hardware
limitations. With this changes there are (very) small waste of
memory for 8139C+ users but I don't think it would affect 8139C+
users for most cases.
o Various bus_dma(9) fixes.
- The hardware supports DAC so allow 64bit DMA operations.
- Removed BUS_DMA_ALLOC_NOW flag.
- Increased DMA segment size to 4096 from MCLBYTES because TSO
consumes too many descriptors with MCLBYTES DMA segment size.
- Tx/Rx side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support. With these
changes the code is more readable than previous one and got a
(slightly) better performance as it doesn't need to pass/
decode arguments to/from callback function.
- Removed unnecessary callback function re_dmamap_desc() and
nuked rl_dmaload_arg structure which was used in the callback.
- Additional protection for DMA map load failure. In case of
failure reuse current map instead of returning a bogus DMA
map.
- Deferred DMA map unloading/sync operation for maximum
performance until we really need to load new DMA map. If we
happen to reuse current map(e.g. input error) there is no need
to sync/unload/load again.
- The number of allowable Tx DMA segments for a mbuf chains are
now 32 instead of magic nseg value. If the number of available
Tx descriptors are short enough to send highly fragmented mbuf
chains an optimized re_defrag() is called to collapse mbuf
chains which is supposed to be much faster than m_defrag(9).
re_defrag() was borrowed from ath(4).
- Separated Rx/Tx DMA tag from a common DMA tag such that Rx DMA
tag correctly uses DMA maps that were created with DMA alignment
restriction(8bytes alignments). Tx DMA tag does not have such
alignment limitation.
- Added additional sanity checks for DMA ring map load failure.
- Added additional spare Rx DMA map for graceful handling of Rx
DMA map load failure.
- Fixed misused bus_dmamap_sync(9) and added missing
bus_dmamap_sync(9) in re_encap()/re_txeof()/re_rxeof().
o Enabled TSO again as re(4) have reasonable number of Tx
descriptors.
o Don't touch DMA address of a Tx descriptor in re_txeof(). It's
not needed.
o Fix incorrect update of if_ierrors counter. For Rx buffer
shortage it should update if_qdrops as the buffer is reused.
o Added checks for unsupported H/W revisions and return ENXIO for
these hardwares. This is required to remove resource allocation
code in re_probe as other drivers do in device probe routine.
o Modified descriptor index manipulation macros as it's now possible
to have different number of descriptors for Rx/Tx.
o In re_start, to save a lock operation, use IFQ_DRV_IS_EMPTY before
trying to invoke IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE. Also don't blindly call re_encap
since we already know the number of available Tx descriptors in
advance.
o Removed RL_TX_DESC_THLD which was used to reserve RL_TX_DESC_THLD
descriptors in Tx path. There is no such a limitation mentioned in
8139C+/8169/8110/8168/8101/8111 datasheet and it seems to work ok
without reserving RL_TX_DESC_THLD descriptors.
o Fix a comment for RL_GTXSTART. The register is 8bits register.
o Added comments for 8169/8139C+ hardware restrictions on descriptors.
o Removed forward declaration for "struct rl_softc", it's not needed.
o Added a new structure rl_txdesc for Tx descriptor managements and
a structure rl_rxdesc for Rx descriptor managements.
o Removed unused member variable rl_intlock in driver softc. There are
still several unused member variables which are supposed to be used
to access hardware statistics counters. But it seems that accessing
hardware counters were not implemented yet.

padding in software as a workaround for a bug in the 8169 PCI devices

To fix this, we avoid software padding for short TCP segments, since
the hardware seems to autopad and checksum these correctly (even the
older 8169 NICs get these right). Short UDP packets appear to be
handled correctly in all cases. This should work around the IP header

For trying to map the defragmented mbuf (chain) in re_encap() this
introduces re_dma_map_desc() setting arg.rl_maxsegs to 0 as a new
failure mode. Previously we just ignored this case, corrupting our
view of the TX ring.
o In re_txeof():
- Don't clear IFF_DRV_OACTIVE unless there are at least 4 free TX
descriptors. Further down the road re_encap() will bail if there
aren't at least 4 free TX descriptors, causing re_start() to
abort and prepend the dequeued mbuf again so it makes no sense
to pretend we could process mbufs again when in fact we won't.
While at it replace this magic 4 with a macro RL_TX_DESC_THLD
throughout this driver.
- Don't cancel the watchdog timeout as soon as there's at least one
free TX descriptor but instead only if all descriptors have been
handled. It's perfectly normal, especially in the DEVICE_POLLING
case, that re_txeof() is called when only a part of the enqueued
TX descriptors have been handled, causing the watchdog to be
disarmed prematurely.
o In re_encap():
- If m_defrag() fails just drop the packet like other NIC drivers
do. This should only happen when there's a mbuf shortage, in which
case it was possible to end up with an IFQ full of packets which
couldn't be processed as they couldn't be defragmented as they
were taking up all the mbufs themselves. This includes adjusting
re_start() to not trying to prepend the mbuf (chain) if re_encap()
has freed it.
- Remove dupe initialization of members of struct rl_dmaload_arg to
values that didn't change since trying to process the fragmented
mbuf chain.
While at it remove an unused member from struct rl_dmaload_arg.
o In re_start() remove a abandoned, banal comment. The corresponding

- Change the workaround for the autopad/checksum offload bug so that
instead of lying about the map size, we actually create a properly
padded mbuf and map it as usual. The other trick works, but is ugly.
This approach also gives us a chance to zero the pad space to avoid
possibly leaking data.
- With the PCIe devices, it looks issuing a TX command while there's
already a transmission in progress doesn't have any effect. In other
words, if you send two packets in rapid succession, the second one may
end up sitting in the TX DMA ring until another transmit command is
issued later in the future. Basically, if re_txeof() sees that there
are still descriptors outstanding, it needs to manually resume the
TX DMA channel by issuing another TX command to make sure all
transmissions are flushed out. (The PCI devices seem to keep the
TX channel moving until all descriptors have been consumed. I'm not
sure why the PCIe devices behave differently.)
(You can see this issue if you do the following test: plug an re(4)
interface into another host via crossover cable, and from the other
host do 'ping -c 2 <host with re(4) NIC>' to prime the ARP cache,
then do 'ping -c 1 -s 1473 <host with re(4) NIC>'. You're supposed
to see two packets sent in response, but you may only see one. If
you do 'ping -c 1 -s 1473 <host with re(4) NIC>' again, you'll
see two packets, but one will be the missing fragment from the last
ping, followed by one of the fragments from this ping.)
- Add the PCI ID for the US Robotics 997902 NIC, which is based on
the RTL8169S.
- Add a tsleep() of 1 second in re_detach() after the interrupt handler
is disconnected. This should allow any tasks queued up by the ISR
to drain. Now, I know you're supposed to use taskqueue_drain() for
this, but something about the way taskqueue_drain() works with
taskqueue_fast queues doesn't seem quite right, and I refuse to be
tricked into fixing it.
- Correct the PCI ID for the 8169SC/8110SC in the device list (I added
the macro for it to if_rlreg.h before, but forgot to use it.)
- Remove the extra interrupt spinlock I added previously. After giving it
some more thought, it's not really needed.
- Work around a hardware bug in some versions of the 8169. When sending
very small IP datagrams with checksum offload enabled, a conflict can
occur between the TX autopadding feature and the hardware checksumming
that can corrupt the outbound packet. This is the reason that checksum
offload sometimes breaks NFS: if you're using NFS over UDP, and you're
very unlucky, you might find yourself doing a fragmented NFS write where
the last fragment is smaller than the minimum ethernet frame size (60
bytes). (It's rare, but if you keep NFS running long enough it'll
happen.) If checksum offload is enabled, the chip will have to both
autopad the fragment and calculate its checksum header. This confuses
some revs of the 8169, causing the packet that appears on the wire
to be corrupted. (The IP addresses and the checksum field are mangled.)
This will cause the NFS write to fail. Unfortunately, when NFS retries,
it sends the same write request over and over again, and it keeps
failing, so NFS stays wedged.
(A simple way to provoke the failure is to connect the failing system
to a network with a known good machine and do "ping -s 1473 <badhost>"
from the good system. The ping will fail.)
Someone had previously worked around this using the heavy-handed
approahch of just disabling checksum offload. The correct fix is to
manually pad short frames where the TCP/IP stack has requested
checksum offloading. This allows us to have checksum offload turned
on by default but still let NFS work right.

cards: the chips are all marked "RTL8111B", but they put stickers on the
back that say "RTL8168B/8111B". The manual says there's only one HWREV code
for both the 8111B and 8168B devices, which is 0x30000000, but the cards
they sent me actually report HWREV of 0x38000000. Deciding to trust the
hardware in front of me rather than a possibly incorrect manual (it wouldn't
be the first time the HWREVs were incorrectly documented), I changed the
8168 revision code. It turns out this was a mistake though: 0x30000000
really is a valid for the 8168.
There are two possible reasons for there to be two different HWREVs:
1) 0x30000000 is used only for the 8168B and 0x38000000 is only for
the 8111B.
2) There were 8111/8168 rev A devices which both used code 0x30000000,
and the 8111B/8168B both use 0x38000000.
The product list on the RealTek website doesn't mention the existence of
any 8168/8111 rev A chips being in production though, and I've never seen
one, so until I get clarification from RealTek, I'm going to assume that
0x30000000 is just for the 8168B and 0x38000000 is for the 8111B only.
So, the HWREV code for the 8168 has been put back to 0x30000000,
a new 8111 HWREV code has been added, and there are now separate
entries for recognizing both devices in the device list. This will

device to access 64-bit addresses from a 32-bit PCI bus. While the
RealTek manual says you can set this bit and the chip will perform
DAC only if you give it a DMA address with any of the upper 32
bits set, this appears not to be the case. If I turn on the DAC
bit, the chip sets the 'system error' bit in the status register
when I to do a DMA on my Athlon test box with 32-bit PCI bus (VIA
chipset) even though I only have 128MB of physical memory, and thus
can never give the chip a 64-bit address.
Obviously, I can't just set it and forget it, so until I figure
out the right rule for when it's safe/necessary to enable it, keep
it turned off.
IF_HANDOFF() does it for us behind the scenes. Remove the extra call
to re_start() otherwise we try to transmit twice.
In re_encap(), fix the code that guards against consuming too many
descriptors in the TX ring so that it actually works. With the
new 8169S chip, I was able to hit a corner case that drained the
free descriptor count all the way to 0. This is not supposed to
be possible.
we're on a 32-bit/64-bit bus or not. Use this to decide if we should
set the PCI dual-address cycle enable bit in the C+ command register.
(Enabling DAC on a 32-bit bus seems to do bad things.)
Also, initialize the C+ command register early in the re_init() routine.
The documentation says this register should be configured first.
seems to be necessary for the 8139C+ under certain circumstances, and
doesn't appear to hurt the other chips. (In the failure case, the
packet would be sent through the TX DMA ring but not get echoed
back. I suspect this has something to do with the link state changing
unexpectedly.)
autoload and then copying the contends of the station address
registers. For some reason, reading the EEPROM on the 8169S doesn't
work right. This gets around the problem, and allows us to read
the station address correctly on the 8169S.
- Insert a delay after initiating packet transmition in re_diag() to
allow lots of time for the frame to echo back to the host, and wait
for both the 'RX complete' and 'timeout expired' bits in the ISR
register to be set.
- Deal more intelligently with the fact that the frame length
field in the RX descriptor is a different width on the 8139C+
than it is on the 8169/8169S/8110S
- For the 8169, you have to set bit 17 in the TX config register
to enter digital loopback mode, but for the 8139C+, you have to
set both bits 17 and 18. Take this into account so that re_diag()
works properly for both types of chips.
ethernet chips. This driver is pretty simple, however it contains
special DSP initialization code which is needed in order to get
the chip to negotiate a gigE link. (This special initialization
may not be needed in subsequent chip revs.) Also:
- Fix typo in if_rlreg.h (RL_GMEDIASTAT_1000MPS -> RL_GMEDIASTAT_1000MBPS)
- Deal with shared interrupts in re_intr(): if interface isn't up,
return.
- Fix another bug in re_gmii_writereg() (properly apply data field mask)
- Allow PHY driver to read the RL_GMEDIASTAT register via the
re_gmii_readreg() register (this is register needed to determine
real time link/media status).
for the 8169S, according to my sample board. The RealTek Linux driver
mentions 0x00800000. I'm assigning this to the 8110S until I get
more info on it. (The (preliminary) RealTek docs only say that 8169S/8110S
chips will have some combination of those two bits set, but doesn't say
exactly what bit combination goes with which chip variant.)
rl(4) driver and put it in a new re(4) driver. The re(4) driver shares
the if_rlreg.h file with rl(4) but is a separate module. (Ultimately
I may change this. For now, it's convenient.)
rl(4) has been modified so that it will never attach to an 8139C+
chip, leaving it to re(4) instead. Only re(4) has the PCI IDs to
match the 8169/8169S/8110S gigE chips. if_re.c contains the same
basic code that was originally bolted onto if_rl.c, with the
following updates:
- Added support for jumbo frames. Currently, there seems to be
a limit of approximately 6200 bytes for jumbo frames on transmit.
(This was determined via experimentation.) The 8169S/8110S chips
apparently are limited to 7.5K frames on transmit. This may require
some more work, though the framework to handle jumbo frames on RX
is in place: the re_rxeof() routine will gather up frames than span
multiple 2K clusters into a single mbuf list.
- Fixed bug in re_txeof(): if we reap some of the TX buffers,
but there are still some pending, re-arm the timer before exiting
re_txeof() so that another timeout interrupt will be generated, just
in case re_start() doesn't do it for us.
- Handle the 'link state changed' interrupt
- Fix a detach bug. If re(4) is loaded as a module, and you do
tcpdump -i re0, then you do 'kldunload if_re,' the system will
panic after a few seconds. This happens because ether_ifdetach()
ends up calling the BPF detach code, which notices the interface
is in promiscuous mode and tries to switch promisc mode off while
detaching the BPF listner. This ultimately results in a call
to re_ioctl() (due to SIOCSIFFLAGS), which in turn calls re_init()
to handle the IFF_PROMISC flag change. Unfortunately, calling re_init()
here turns the chip back on and restarts the 1-second timeout loop
that drives re_tick(). By the time the timeout fires, if_re.ko
has been unloaded, which results in a call to invalid code and
blows up the system.
To fix this, I cleared the IFF_UP flag before calling ether_ifdetach(),
which stops the ioctl routine from trying to reset the chip.
- Modified comments in re_rxeof() relating to the difference in
RX descriptor status bit layout between the 8139C+ and the gigE
chips. The layout is different because the frame length field
was expanded from 12 bits to 13, and they got rid of one of the
status bits to make room.
- Add diagnostic code (re_diag()) to test for the case where a user
has installed a broken 32-bit 8169 PCI NIC in a 64-bit slot. Some
NICs have the REQ64# and ACK64# lines connected even though the
board is 32-bit only (in this case, they should be pulled high).
This fools the chip into doing 64-bit DMA transfers even though
there is no 64-bit data path. To detect this, re_diag() puts the
chip into digital loopback mode and sets the receiver to promiscuous
mode, then initiates a single 64-byte packet transmission. The
frame is echoed back to the host, and if the frame contents are
intact, we know DMA is working correctly, otherwise we complain
loudly on the console and abort the device attach. (At the moment,
I don't know of any way to work around the problem other than
physically modifying the board, so until/unless I can think of a
software workaround, this will have do to.)
- Created re(4) man page
- Modified rlphy.c to allow re(4) to attach as well as rl(4).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).
