Allow the driver to specify the maximum allowed DMA addressing width
(in bits) for the NIC hardware, by introducing a new field in
if_softc_ctx.
If said field is omitted (set to 0), the lowaddr of DMA window bounds

Doing a 'dd' over iscsi will reliably cause stalls. Tx
cleaning _should_ reliably happen as data is sent.
However, currently if the transmit queue fills it will
wait until the iflib timer (hz/2) runs.
This change causes the the tx taskq thread to be run
if there are completed descriptors.
While here:
- make timer interrupt delay a sysctl
- simplify txd_db_check handling
- comment on INTR types
Background on the change:
Initially doorbell updates were minimized by only writing to the register
on every fourth packet. If txq_drain would return without writing to the
doorbell it scheduled a callout on the next tick to do the doorbell write
to ensure that the write otherwise happened "soon". At that time a sysctl
was added for users to avoid the potential added latency by simply writing
to the doorbell register on every packet. This worked perfectly well for
e1000 and ixgbe ... and appeared to work well on ixl. However, as it
turned out there was a race to this approach that would lockup the ixl MAC.
It was possible for a lower producer index to be written after a higher one.
On e1000 and ixgbe this was harmless - on ixl it was fatal. My initial
response was to add a lock around doorbell writes - fixing the problem but
adding an unacceptable amount of lock contention.
The next iteration was to use transmit interrupts to drive delayed doorbell
writes. If there were no packets in the queue all doorbell writes would be
immediate as the queue started to fill up we could delay doorbell writes
further and further. At the start of drain if we've cleaned any packets we
know we've moved the state machine along and we write the doorbell (an
obvious missing optimization was to skip that doorbell write if db_pending
is zero). This change required that tx interrupts be scheduled periodically
as opposed to just when the hardware txq was full. However, that just leads
to our next problem.
Initially dedicated msix vectors were used for both tx and rx. However, it
was often possible to use up all available vectors before we set up all the
queues we wanted. By having rx and tx share a vector for a given queue we
could halve the number of vectors used by a given configuration. The problem
here is that with this change only e1000 passed the necessary value to have
the fast interrupt drive tx when appropriate.

This patch is intended to solve a specific problem that iavf(4)
encounters, but what it does can be extended to solve other issues.
To summarize the iavf(4) issue, if the PF driver configures VLAN
anti-spoof, then the VF driver needs to make sure no untagged traffic is
sent if a VLAN is configured, and vice-versa. This can be an issue when
a VLAN is being registered or unregistered, e.g. when a packet may be on
the ring with a VLAN in it, but the VLANs are being unregistered. This
can cause that tagged packet to go out and cause an MDD event.
To fix this, include a new interface-dependent function that drivers can
implement named IFDI_NEEDS_RESTART(). Right now, this function is called
in iflib_vlan_unregister/register() to determine whether the interface
needs to be stopped and started when a VLAN is registered or
unregistered. The default return value of IFDI_NEEDS_RESTART() is true,
so this fixes the MDD problem that iavf(4) encounters, since the
interface rings are flushed during a stop/init.
A future change to iavf(4) will implement that function just in case the
default value changes, and to make it explicit that this interface reset
is required when a VLAN is added or removed.

structs with placeholders (in the latter case, IFLIB_MAX_TX_BYTES
etc. are also only ever used for these write-only members if at all,
so both these macros and members can just go). Using these spares
may render it possible to merge certain iflib(9) fixes to stable/12.
Otherwise, changes extending struct if_irq or struct if_shared_ctx
in any way would break KBI as instances of these are allocated by
the driver front-ends (by contrast, struct if_pkt_info as well as
struct if_softc_ctx instances are provided by iflib(9) and, thus,
may grow at least at the end without breaking KBI).
- Make the pvi_name in struct pci_vendor_info const char * as device
identifiers in hardware lookup tables aren't to be expected to ever
change at runtime.
- Similarly, make the pci_vendor_info_t of struct if_shared_ctx which
is used to point to the struct pci_vendor_info arrays provided by
the driver front-ends const.
- Remove the ETH_ADDR_LEN macro from iflib.h; this was duplicating
ETHER_ADDR_LEN of <net/ethernet.h> with iflib(9) actually only
consuming the latter macro.
- Make the name argument of iflib_io_tqg_attach(9) const, matching

iflib_config_gtask_init(9).
- Remove the orphaned iflib_qset_lock_get() prototype.
- Remove some extraneous empty lines.
From Jake:
Vendor drivers that exist out-of-tree generally should return
BUS_PROBE_VENDOR from their device probe functions. This helps ensure
that a vendor replacement driver will supersede the in-kernel driver for
a given device.
Currently, if a vendor wants to implement a driver based on iflib, it
will always report BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT.
Add a wrapper function, iflib_device_probe_vendor() which can be used in
place of iflib_device_probe(). This function will just return
BUS_PROBE_VENDOR whenever iflib_device_probe() would return
BUS_PROBE_DEFAULT.
While vendor drivers can already implement such a wrapper themselves,
providing it in the iflib.h header makes it easier for the vendor driver
to do the right thing.

iflib_fl_setup calculates a suitable buffer size for the Rx mbufs based
on the isc_max_frame_size value that drivers setup. This calculation is
repeated by drivers when programming their hardware with the size of
each Rx buffer.
This can lead to a mismatch where the iflib mbuf size is different from
the expected size of the buffer as programmed by the hardware. This can
lead to unexpected results.
If iflib ever wants to support mbuf sizes larger than one page, every
driver must be updated to account for the new possible buffer sizes.
Fix this by calculating the mbuf size prior to calling IFDI_INIT, and
adding the iflib_get_rx_mbuf_sz function which will expose this value to
drivers, so that they do not repeat the same calculation.

- Ever since the workaround for the silicon bug of TSO4 causing MAC hangs
was committed in r295133, CSUM_TSO always got disabled unconditionally
by em(4) on the first invocation of em_init_locked(). However, even with
that problem fixed, it turned out that for at least e. g. 82579 not all
necessary TSO workarounds are in place, still causing MAC hangs even at
Gigabit speed. Thus, for stable/11, TSO usage was deliberately disabled
in r323292 (r323293 for stable/10) for the EM-class by default, allowing
users to turn it on if it happens to work with their particular EM MAC
in a Gigabit-only environment.
In head, the TSO workaround for speeds other than Gigabit was lost with
the conversion to iflib(9) in r311849 (possibly along with another one
or two TSO workarounds). Yet at the same time, for EM-class MACs TSO4
got enabled by default again, causing device hangs. Therefore, change the
default for this hardware class back to have TSO4 off, allowing users
to turn it on manually if it happens to work in their environment as
we do in stable/{10,11}. An alternative would be to add a whitelist of
EM-class devices where TSO4 actually is reliable with the workarounds in
place, but given that the advantage of TSO at Gigabit speed is rather
limited - especially with the overhead of these workarounds -, that's
really not worth it. [1]
This change includes the addition of an isc_capabilities to struct
if_softc_ctx so iflib(9) can also handle interface capabilities that
shouldn't be enabled by default which is used to handle the default-off
capabilities of e1000 as suggested by shurd@ and moving their handling
from em_setup_interface() to em_if_attach_pre() accordingly.
- Although 82543 support TSO4 in theory, the former lem(4) didn't have
support for TSO4, presumably because TSO4 is even more broken in the
LEM-class of MACs than the later EM ones. Still, TSO4 for LEM-class
devices was enabled as part of the conversion to iflib(9) in r311849,
causing device hangs. So revert back to the pre-r311849 behavior of
not supporting TSO4 for LEM-class at all, which includes not creating
a TSO DMA tag in iflib(9) for devices not having IFCAP_TSO4 set. [2]
- In fact, the FreeBSD TCP stack can handle a TSO size of IP_MAXPACKET
(65535) rather than FREEBSD_TSO_SIZE_MAX (65518). However, the TSO
DMA must have a maxsize of the maximum TSO size plus the size of a
VLAN header for software VLAN tagging. The iflib(9) converted em(4),
thus, first correctly sets scctx->isc_tx_tso_size_max to EM_TSO_SIZE
in em_if_attach_pre(), but later on overrides it with IP_MAXPACKET
in em_setup_interface() (apparently, left-over from pre-iflib(9)
times). So remove the later and correct iflib(9) to correctly cap
the maximum TSO size reported to the stack at IP_MAXPACKET. While at
it, let iflib(9) use if_sethwtsomax*().
This change includes the addition of isc_tso_max{seg,}size DMA engine
constraints for the TSO DMA tag to struct if_shared_ctx and letting
iflib_txsd_alloc() automatically adjust the maxsize of that tag in case
IFCAP_VLAN_MTU is supported as requested by shurd@.
- Move the if_setifheaderlen(9) call for adjusting the maximum Ethernet
header length from {ixgbe,ixl,ixlv,ixv,em}_setup_interface() to iflib(9)
so adjustment is automatically done in case IFCAP_VLAN_MTU is supported.
As a consequence, this adjustment now is also done in case of bnxt(4)
which missed it previously.
- Move the reduction of the maximum TSO segment count reported to the
stack by the number of m_pullup(9) calls (which in the worst case,
can add another mbuf and, thus, the requirement for another DMA
segment each) in the transmit path for performance reasons from
em_setup_interface() to iflib_txsd_alloc() as these pull-ups are now
done in iflib_parse_header() rather than in the no longer existing
em_xmit(). Moreover, this optimization applies to all drivers using
iflib(9) and not just em(4); all in-tree iflib(9) consumers still
have enough room to handle full size TSO packets. Also, reduce the
adjustment to the maximum number of m_pullup(9)'s now performed in
iflib_parse_header().
- Prior to the conversion of em(4)/igb(4)/lem(4) and ixl(4) to iflib(9)
in r311849 and r335338 respectively, these drivers didn't enable
IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER by default due to VLAN events not being passed
through by lagg(4). With iflib(9), IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER was turned on
by default but also lagg(4) was fixed in that regard in r203548. So
just remove the now redundant and defunct IFCAP_VLAN_HWFILTER handling
in {em,ixl,ixlv}_setup_interface().
- Nuke other redundant IFCAP_* setting in {em,ixl,ixlv}_setup_interface()
which is (more completely) already done in {em,ixl,ixlv}_if_attach_pre()
now.
- Remove some redundant/dead setting of scctx->isc_tx_csum_flags in
em_if_attach_pre().
- Remove some IFCAP_* duplicated either directly or indirectly (e. g.
via IFCAP_HWCSUM) in {EM,IGB,IXL}_CAPS.
- Don't bother to fiddle with IFCAP_HWSTATS in ixgbe(4)/ixgbev(4) as
iflib(9) adds that capability unconditionally.
- Remove some unused macros from em(4).
- Bump __FreeBSD_version as some of the above changes require the modules
of drivers using iflib(9) to be recompiled.

This should bring -CURRENT and the github repo into close enough sync to
allow small feature branches rather than a large chain of interdependant
patches being developed out of tree. The reset of the synchronization
should be able to be completed on github by splitting the remaining
changes that are not yet ready into short feature branches for later
review as smaller commits.
Here is a summary of changes included in this patch:
1) More checks when INVARIANTS are enabled for eariler problem
detection
2) Group Task Queue cleanups
- Fix use of duplicate shortdesc for gtaskqueue malloc type.
Some interfaces such as memguard(9) use the short description to
identify malloc types, so duplicates should be avoided.
3) Allow gtaskqueues to use ithreads in addition to taskqueues
- In some cases, this can improve performance
4) Better logging when taskqgroup_attach*() fails to set interrupt
affinity.
5) Do not start gtaskqueues until they're needed
6) Have mp_ring enqueue function enter the ABDICATED rather than BUSY
state. This moves the TX to the gtaskq and allows processing to
continue faster as well as make TX batching more likely.
7) Add an ift_txd_errata function to struct if_txrx. This allows
drivers to inspect/modify mbufs before transmission.
8) Add a new IFLIB_NEED_ZERO_CSUM for drivers to indicate they need
checksums zeroed for checksum offload to work. This avoids modifying
packet data in the TX path when possible.
9) Use ithreads for iflib I/O instead of taskqueues
10) Clean up ioctl and support async ioctl functions
11) Prefetch two cachlines from each mbuf instead of one up to 128B. We
often need to parse packet header info beyond 64B.
12) Fix potential memory corruption due to fence post error in
bit_nclear() usage.
13) Improved hang detection and handling
14) If the packet is smaller than MTU, disable the TSO flags.
This avoids extra packet parsing when not needed.
15) Move TCP header parsing inside the IS_TSO?() test.
This avoids extra packet parsing when not needed.
16) Pass chains of mbufs that are not consumed by lro to if_input()
rather call if_input() for each mbuf.
17) Re-arrange packet header loads to get as much work as possible done
before a cache stall.
18) Lock the context when calling IFDI_ATTACH_PRE()/IFDI_ATTACH_POST()/
IFDI_DETACH();
19) Attempt to distribute RX/TX tasks across cores more sensibly,
especially when RX and TX share an interrupt. RX will attempt to
take the first threads on a core, and TX will attempt to take
successive threads.
20) Allow iflib_softirq_alloc_generic() to request affinity to the same
cpus an interrupt has affinity with. This allows TX queues to
ensure they are serviced by the socket the device is on.
21) Add new iflib sysctls to net.iflib:
- timer_int - interval at which to run per-queue timers in ticks
- force_busdma
22) Add new per-device iflib sysctls to dev.X.Y.iflib
- rx_budget allows tuning the batch size on the RX path
- watchdog_events Count of watchdog events seen since load
23) Fix error where netmap_rxq_init() could get called before
IFDI_INIT()
24) e1000: Fixed version of r323008: post-cold sleep instead of DELAY
when waiting for firmware
- After interrupts are enabled, convert all waits to sleeps
- Eliminates e1000 software/firmware synchronization busy waits after
startup
25) e1000: Remove special case for budget=1 in em_txrx.c
- Premature optimization which may actually be incorrect with
multi-segment packets
26) e1000: Split out TX interrupt rather than share an interrupt for
RX and TX.
- Allows better performance by keeping RX and TX paths separate
27) e1000: Separate igb from em code where suitable
Much easier to understand separate functions and "if (is_igb)" than
previous tests like "if (reg_icr & (E1000_ICR_RXSEQ | E1000_ICR_LSC))"

Post-cold sleep instead of DELAY when waiting for firmware.
Convert softc mutex to an SX lock. Change all waits to sleeps
once interrupts are enabled (and it is safe to sleep).

--Remove special-case handling of sparc64 bus_dmamap* functions.
Replace with a more generic mechanism that allows MD busdma
implementations to generate inline mapping functions by
defining WANT_INLINE_DMAMAP in <machine/bus_dma.h>. This
is currently useful for sparc64, x86, and arm64, which all
implement non-load dmamap operations as simple wrappers
around map objects which may be bus- or device-specific.
--Remove NULL-checked bus_dmamap macros. Implement the
equivalent NULL checks in the inlined x86 implementation.
For non-x86 platforms, these checks are a minor pessimization
as those platforms do not currently allow NULL maps. NULL
maps were originally allowed on arm64, which appears to have
been the motivation behind adding arm[64]-specific barriers
to bus_dma.h, but that support was removed in r299463.
--Simplify the internal interface used by the bus_dmamap_load*
variants and move it to bus_dma_internal.h
--Fix some drivers that directly include sys/bus_dma.h
despite the recommendations of bus_dma(9)

so that we can use it in iflib to detect pause frames.
The igb(4) driver definitely used to use this in its old timer function and
I see no reason to restrict it to that driver only.

We found routing performance dropped significantly when configuring
FreeBSD as a router, we are applying the following changes in order to
resolve those issues and hopefully perform better.
- don't prefetch the flags array, we usually don't need it
- prefetch the next cache line of each of the software descriptor arrays as
well as the first cache line of each of the next four packets' mbufs and
clusters
- reduce max copy size to 63 bytes
- convert rx soft descriptors from array of structures to a structure of arrays
- update copyrights

- Move group task queue into kern/subr_gtaskqueue.c
- Change intr_enable to return an int so it can be detected if it's not
implemented
- Allow different TX/RX queues per set to be different sizes
- Don't split up TX mbufs before transmit
- Allow a completion queue for TX as well as RX
- Pass the RX budget to isc_rxd_available() to allow an earlier return
and avoid multiple calls

"iflib is a library to eliminate the need for frequently duplicated device
independent logic propagated (poorly) across many network drivers."
Participation is purely optional. The IFLIB kernel config option is
provided for drivers that want to transition between legacy and iflib
modes of operation. ixl and ixgbe driver conversions will be committed
shortly. We hope to see participation from the Broadcom and maybe
Chelsio drivers in the near future.
