operation as it ran out of free descriptors or if there are too many
segments in the first place, call bus_dmamap_unload() in order to
unload the already loaded segments.
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
code was moved to re_attach() some time ago.
With these changes re(4) now survives one day (until stopped) of
hammering out packets here.

- 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.
- Not a bug, but change the ID strings for devices with hardware rev
0x30000000 and 0x38000000 to both be 8168B/8111B. According to RealTek,
they're both the same device, but 0x30000000 is an earlier silicon spin.
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
allow all devices to work, though if it turns out I'm wrong I may
need to change the ID strings

Finally fix the EEPROM reading code so that we can access the EEPROMs on all

mode, and then set the EEPROM chip select bit. Previously, we were setting
both bits simultaneously, which doesn't work: they must be set in the

PHY revs 0 and 1. Later chips are fixed and don't need the fixup.

struct ifnet or the layer 2 common structure it was embedded in have

via if_alloc() based on the interface type. It is hung off the new
struct ifnet member, if_l2com.
This change removes the size of these structures from the kernel ABI and
will allow us to better manage them as interfaces come and go.
Other changes of note:
- Struct arpcom is no longer referenced in normal interface code.
Instead the Ethernet address is accessed via the IFP2ENADDR() macro.
To enforce this ac_enaddr has been renamed to _ac_enaddr.

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).

that I overlooked with going through the documentation, but the sample
8169 NIC that I have seems to require it at least some of the time or
else it botches TCP checksums on segments that span multiple descriptors.
note the existence of the 8169S and 8110S components. (The 8169
is just a MAC, the 8169S and 8110S contain both a MAC and PHY.)
- Properly handle list and buffer addresses as 64-bit. The RX and
TX DMA list addresses should be bus_addr_t's. Added RL_ADDR_HI()
and RL_ADDR_LO() macros to obtain values for writing into chip
registers.
- Set a slightly different TIMERINT value for 8169 NICs for improved
performance.
- Change left out of previous commit log: added some additional
hardware rev codes for other 10/100 chips and for the 8169S/8110S
'rev C' gigE MACs.
- Fix a bug in rl_dma_map_desc(): set the 'end of ring' bit in the
right descriptor (DESC_CNT - 1, not DESC_CNT). The 8139C+ is limited
to 64 descriptors and automatically wraps at 64 descriptors even
if the EOR bit isn't set, but the 8169 NIC can have up to 1024
descriptors per ring, so we must set the wrap point in the right
place.
- RealTek moved the RL_TIMERINT register from offset 0x54 to 0x58 in
the 8169 -- account for this.
- Added rl_gmii_readreg() and rl_gmii_writereg() routines.
- Fix rl_probe() to deal with the case where the base type is

mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:
mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)
similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:
mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.
The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.
Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:
MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH
The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:
mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.
Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.
