- remove buggy code at the top of mxge_tick() which tried
to detect a race which is already detected in the kernel's
callout code.
- move callout_stop() and callout_reset() into mxge_close()
mxge_open() rather than doing the callout manipulation
all over the place.
- use callout_drain(), rather than callout_stop() to prevent
a potential race between mxge_tick() and mxge_detach()
which could lead to softclock using a destroyed mutex
- restructure the mxge_tick() and mxge_watchdog_reset()
routines to avoid resetting a callout, and then
immediately stopping it if the watchdog reset routine
is called, and fails.
- enable the driver to handle NIC hardware watchdog
resets by restoring the NIC's PCI config space, which is
lost when the NIC hardware watchdog triggers.

It seems that filtering multicast addresses with multicast CAM
entries require accessing 'CAM enable bit' for each CAM entry.
Subsequent accessing multicast CAM control register without
toggling the 'CAM enable bit' seem to no effects.
In order to fix that separate CAM setup from CAM mask configuration
and CAM entry modification. While I'm here add VLAN CAM filtering
feature which will be enabled in future(FreeBSD now can receive
VLAN id insertion/removal event from vlan(4) on the fly).
For VT6105M hardware, explicitly disable VLAN hardware tag
insertion/stripping and enable VLAN CAM filtering for VLAN id 0.
This shall make non-VLAN frames set VR_RXSTAT_VIDHIT bit in Rx
status word.
Added multicast/VLAN CAM address definition to header file.

years. All datasheet I have indicates the bit 15 is the
VR_RXSTAT_RX_OK. The bit 14 is reserved for all Rhine family
except VT6105M. VT6105M uses that bit to indicate a VLAN frame
with matching CAM VLAN id.
Use the VR_RXSTAT_RX_OK instead of VR_RXSTAT_RXERR when vr(4)
checks the validity of received frame.
This should fix occasional dropping frames on VT6105M.

1. The FreeBSD driver was setting an interrupt coalesce delay of 1000us
for reasons that I can only speculate on. This was hurting everything
from lame sequential I/O "benchmarks" to legitimate filesystem metadata
operations that relied on serialized barrier writes. One of my
filesystem tests went from 35s to complete down to 6s.
2. Implemented the Performant transport method. Without the fix in
(1), I saw almost no difference. With it, my filesystem tests showed
another 5-10% improvement in speed. It was hard to measure CPU
utilization in any meaningful way, so it's not clear if there was a
benefit there, though there should have been since the interrupt handler
was reduced from 2 or more PCI reads down to 1.
3. Implemented MSI-X. Without any docs on this, I was just taking a
guess, and it appears to only work with the Performant method. This
could be a programming or understanding mistake on my part. While this
by itself made almost no difference to performance since the Performant
method already eliminated most of the synchronous reads over the PCI
bus, it did allow the CISS hardware to stop sharing its interrupt with
the USB hardware, which in turn allowed the driver to become decoupled
from the Giant-locked USB driver stack. This increased performance by
almost 20%. The MSI-X setup was done with 4 vectors allocated, but only
1 vector used since the performant method was told to only use 1 of 4
queues. Fiddling with this might make it work with the simpleq method,
not sure. I did not implement MSI since I have no MSI-specific hardware
in my test lab.
4. Improved the locking in the driver, trimmed some data structures.
This didn't improve test times in any measurable way, but it does look
like it gave a minor improvement to CPU usage when many
processes/threads were doing I/O in parallel. Again, this was hard to
accurately test.

Fortunately it is the only one and is only used when setting media, so

dispatched without Giant, and add NETISR_FORCEQUEUE, which allows specific
netisr handlers to always be dispatched via a queue (deferred). Mark the
usb and if_ppp netisr handlers as NETISR_FORCEQUEUE, and explicitly
acquire Giant in those handlers.
Previously, any netisr handler not marked NETISR_MPSAFE would necessarily
run deferred and with Giant acquired. This change removes Giant
scaffolding from the netisr infrastructure, but NETISR_FORCEQUEUE allows
non-MPSAFE handlers to continue to force deferred dispatch so as to avoid
lock order reversals between their acqusition of Giant and any calling
context.
It is likely we will be able to remove NETISR_FORCEQUEUE once
IFF_NEEDSGIANT is removed, as non-MPSAFE usb and if_ppp drivers will no
longer be supported.

Previously we reused the space in the request buffer after the request
header to hold config pages during a transaction. This does not work when
reading large pages however. Also, we were already malloc'ing a buffer to
do a copyin/copyout w/o holding locks that was then copied into/out of the
request buffer. Instead, go ahead and use bus dma to alloc a buffer for
each config page request (and RAID actions that have an associated
ActionSGE). This results in fewer data copies and allows for larger sized
requests. For now the maximum size of a request is arbitrarily limited to
16 MB.
