and remove from its dependency on LRO, my tests have shown
that its always beneficial, even when doing bridging.
Second, fix up a few problems in the statistics code, the
adapter dependencies had gotten lost so some code that should
only run on 82599 was always running, this resulted in bogus
flow control numbers on 82598.
- When a vlan event occurs a check was not made that
the event was actually for the interface, thus resulting
in a panic. All three drivers have this vulnerability. Add
a check for this condition.
- Secondly, there was a duplicate buf_ring free in the em
driver resulting in a panic on unload. Remove.
Approved by: re
IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

MFC after: 6 weeks
-This version has header split, and as a result a number of
aspects of the code have been improved/simplified.
- Interrupt handling refined for performance
- Many small bugs fixed along the way
MFC after: ASAP - in time for 7.1
-It has new hardware support
-It uses a new method of TX cleanup called Head Write Back
-It includes the provisional generic TCP LRO feature contributed
by Myricom and made general purpose by me. This should move into
the stack upon approval but for this driver drop its in here.
-Also bug fixes and etc...
MFC in a week if no serious issues arise.
The first drop was Beta, this code is expected to be the release version.
Note that this driver code will build in either 6.2 or 7. If you
use the code in 6.2 you will not get TSO or MSI/X support but it will
function in a legacy mode.
Approved by: re
- change include style so build in kernel try OR standalone work.
- Limit HWCSUM - I was led to believe that it would work with RSS,
but our testing had odd issues which suggests this is false.
- A fatfinger error in the ioctl code made ifconfig up not work.
