I am not exactly sure about the naming due to lack of specs on AMD site,
but it is better to have some identification then none at all.

to map, and technically this isn't allowed.
Functionally, it works OK (at least on x86) to call bus_dmamap_load with
a NULL data pointer and zero length, so this is primarily for correctness
and consistency with other drivers.
While here, remove check in isci_io_request_construct for nseg==0.
Previously, bus_dmamap_load would pass nseg==1, even for case where
buffer is NULL and length = 0, which allowed CAM_DIR_NONE CCBs
to get processed. This check is not correct though, and needed to be
removed both for the changes elsewhere in this patch, as well as jeff's
preliminary bus_dmamap_load_ccb patch (which uncovered all of this in
the first place).

thought I've decided its overkill,a simple tuneable for
each RX and TX limit, and then init sets the ring values
based on that, should be sufficient.
More importantly, fix a bug causing a panic, when changing
the define style to IXGBE_LEGACY_TX a taskqueue init was
inadvertently set #ifdef when it should be #ifndef.
I couldn't think of a way to maintain the hardware TXQ locks _and_ layer
on top of that per-TXQ software queuing and any other kind of fine-grained
locks (eg per-TID, or per-node locks.)
So for now, to facilitate some further code refactoring and development
as part of the final push to get software queue ps-poll and u-apsd handling
into this driver, just do away with them entirely.
I may eventually bring them back at some point, when it looks slightly more
architectually cleaner to do so. But as it stands at the present, it's
not really buying us much:
* in order to properly serialise things and not get bitten by scheduling
and locking interactions with things higher up in the stack, we need to
wrap the whole TX path in a long held lock. Otherwise we can end up
being pre-empted during frame handling, resulting in some out of order
frame handling between sequence number allocation and encryption handling
(ie, the seqno and the CCMP IV get out of sequence);
* .. so whilst that's the case, holding the lock for that long means that
we're acquiring and releasing the TXQ lock _inside_ that context;
* And we also acquire it per-frame during frame completion, but we currently
can't hold the lock for the duration of the TX completion as we need
to call net80211 layer things with the locks _unheld_ to avoid LOR.
* .. the other places were grab that lock are reset/flush, which don't happen
often.
My eventual aim is to change the TX path so all rejected frame transmissions
and all frame completions result in any ieee80211_free_node() calls to occur
outside of the TX lock; then I can cut back on the amount of locking that
goes on here.
There may be some LORs that occur when ieee80211_free_node() is called when
the TX queue path fails; I'll begin to address these in follow-up commits.
This brand of controllers expects that the number of
contexts specified in the input slot context points
to an active endpoint context, else it refuses to
operate.

This should fix a regression introduced in r243404.
Also, remove a stale comment that has not been true for quite a while

enforcing the TXOP and TBTT limits:
* Frames which will overlap with TBTT will not TX;
* Frames which will exceed TXOP will be filtered.
This is not enabled by default; it's intended to be enabled by the
TDMA code on 802.11n capable chipsets.
the revamped sysctl code did not work, and needed a change. This
makes the limit get set at the time that all sysctl stats are
created and is actually more elegant imho anyway.
TX hot path by getting rid of index calculations and simply
managing pointers. Much of the creative code is due to my
coworker here at Intel, Alex Duyck, thanks Alex!
Also, this whole series of patches was given the critical
eye of Gleb Smirnoff and is all the better for it, thanks
Gleb!
- add a limit for both RX and TX, change the default to 256
- change the sysctl usage to be common, and now to be called
during init for each ring.
- the TX limit is not yet used, but the changes in the last
patch in this series uses the value.
- the motivation behind these changes is to improve data
locality in the final code.
- rxeof interface changes since it now gets limit from the
ring struct
defines (at Gleb's request). Also, change the defines around
the old transmit code to IXGBE_LEGACY_TX, I do this to make
it possible to define this regardless of the OS level (it is
not defined by default). There are also a couple changed
comments for clarity.
these are FCOE stats (fiber channel over ethernet), something that
FreeBSD does not yet have, they were mistaken for flow control by
the implementor I believe. Secondly, the real flow control stats
are oddly named with a 'link' tag on the front, it was requested
by my validation engineer to make these stats have the same name as
the igb driver for clarity and that seemed reasonable to me.
multiqueue code, this functionality has proven to be more
trouble than it was worth. Thanks to Gleb for a second
critical look over my code and help in the patches!
It returns memory regions restricted from being used by kernel. These
regions are dfined in "memreserve" property of root node in the same
format as "reg" property of /memory node
embryonic connection has been setup and never attempt to abort a tid
before this is done. This fixes a bad race where a listening socket is
closed when the driver is in the middle of step (b) here. The symptom
of this were "ARP miss" errors from the driver followed by tid leaks.
A hardware-offloaded passive open works this way:
a) A SYN "hits" the TCAM entry for a server tid and the chip delivers it
to the queue associated with the server tid (say, queue A). It waits
for a response from the driver telling it what to do.
b) The driver decides it is ok to proceed. It adds the new tid to the
list of embryonic connections associated with the server tid and then
hands off the SYN to the kernel's syncache to make sure that the kernel
okays it too. If it does then the driver provides an L2 table entry,
queue id (say, queue B), etc. and instructs the chip to send the SYN/ACK
response.
c) The chip delivers a status to queue B depending on how the third step
of the 3-way handshake goes. The driver removes the tid from its list
of embryonic connections and either expands the syncache entry or
destroys the tid. In any case all subsequent messages for the new tid
will be delivered to queue B, not queue A. Anything running in queue B
knows that the L2 entry has long been setup and the new flag is of no
interest from here on. If the listener is closed it will deal with
so_comp as normal.
