configured down. Formerly, IPMI communication was lost whenever the
interface was not up. The reason was that the BCE_EMAC_MODE
register was not configured with the correct media settings. There
are two parts to the fix.
First, resetting the chip in bce_reset() causes the BCE_EMAC_MODE
register to be initialized to a default value that does not
necessarily correspond to the actual media settings. The fix
implemented here is a bit of a hack. Ideally, at the end of
bce_reset() we would poll the PHY to determine the negotiated media,
and then we would set the BCE_EMAC_MODE register accordingly. That
is difficult, since the PHY is abstracted behind the MII layer and is
not supposed to be queried directly from the MAC driver. Instead,
we read the BCE_EMAC_MODE register at the beginning of bce_reset()
and then restore its media bits to their original values before
returning. If IPMI is up and running, then the link is already
established and the BCE_EMAC_MODE register is already set appropriately
when bce_reset() is called. If IPMI is not running, no harm is
done by preserving the BCE_EMAC_MODE settings. The driver will set
the register properly once the interface is configured up and link
is established.
Second, bce_miibus_statchg() is sometimes called when the link is
down. In that case, the reported media settings are invalid.
Formerly, the driver used them anyway to setup the BCE_EMAC_MODE
register. We now avoid changing any MAC registers unless link is
active and the reported media settings are valid.

I'll have to leave this high for now, until I've done some significant

This should significantly cut down on the opportunities for a full TX

I've come across a weird scenario in net80211 where two TX streams will
happily attempt to setup an aggregation session together.
If we're very lucky, it happens concurrently on separate CPUs and the
total lack of locking in the net80211 aggregation code causes this stuff
to race. Badly.
So >1 call would occur to the ath(4) addba start, but only one call would
complete to addba complete or timeout. The TID would thus stay paused.
The real fix is to implement some proper per-node (or maybe per-TID)
locking in net80211, which then could be leveraged by the ath(4) TX
aggregation code.
Whilst I'm at it, shuffle around the debugging messages a bit.
I like to keep people on their toes.
queued internally. This works around issue in the isci HAL where it cannot
accept new I/O to a device after a resetting->ready state transition until
the completion context has unwound.
This issue was found by submitting non-tagged CCBs through pass(4) interface
to a SATA disk with an extremely small timeout value (5ms). This would trigger
internal resets with I/O in the isci(4) internal queues.
The small timeout value had not been intentional (and original reporter has
since changed his test to use 5sec instead), but it did uncover this corner
case that would result in a hung disk.

There's some TX path TDMA code in if_ath_tx.c which should be migrated
out, but first I should likely try and verify/fix/repair the TDMA support
in 9.x and -HEAD.
* migrate the rx processing out into if_ath_rx.c
* migrate the TSF functions into if_ath_tsf.h, as inlines
This is in prepration for supporting the EDMA RX routines, required to
support the AR93xx series NICs.
TODO:
* ath_start() shouldn't be private, but it's called as part of
the RX path. I should likely migrate ath_rx_tasklet() back into
if_ath.c and then return this to be 'static'. The RX code really
shouldn't need to see TX routines (and vice versa.)
* ath_beacon_* should be in if_ath_beacon.[ch].
* ath_tdma_* should be in if_ath_tdma.[ch] ...

add some more BAR debugging logic.
* Change the definition of ath_debug and ath_softc.sc_debug from
int to uint64_t;
* Change the relevant sysctls;
* Add a new BAR TX debugging field;
* Use this in if_ath_tx.
This has been tested by using the sysctl program, which happily allows
for fields > 32 bits to be configured.
Although I _should_ handle the other errors in various ways (specifically
errors like FILT), treating them as having transmitted successfully
is completely wrong. Here, they'd be counted as successful and the BAW
would be advanced.. but the RX side wouldn't have received them.
The specific errors I've been seeing here are HAL_TXERR_FILT.
This patch does fix the issue - I've tested it using -i 0.001 pings
(enough to start aggregation) and now the behaviour is correct:
* The RX side never sees a "moved window" error, and
* The TX side sends BARs as needed, with the RX side correctly handling
them.

This gives a 16% performance improvement under high load on slow systems,
especially when vr shares an interrupt with another device, which is
common with the Alix x86 boards.
Contrary to the other devices, I left the interrupt processing for loop
in because there was no significant difference in performance and this
should avoid enqueuing more taskqueues unnecessarily.
We also decided to move the vr_start_locked() call inside the for loop
because we found out that it helps performance since TCP ACKs now have a
chance to go out quicker.

The DELAY(1000) to let things settle is my local workaround. For some
reason, PHY4 doesn't seem to probe very reliably without it. It's quite
possible that we're missing some MDIO bus initialisation code in if_arge
for the AR724x case. As I dislike DELAY() workarounds in general, it's
definitely worth trying to figure out why this is the case.

This is designed to support the very basic ethernet switch chip behaviour,
specifically:
* accessing switch register space;
* accessing per-PHY registers (for switches that actually expose PHYs);
* basic vlan group support, which applies for the rtl8366 driver but not
for the atheros switches.
This also includes initial support for:
* rtl8366rb support - which is a 10/100/1000 switch which supports
vlan groups;
* Initial Atheros AR8316 switch support - which is a 10/100/1000 switch
which supports an alternate vlan configuration (so the vlan group
methods are stubbed.)
The general idea here is that the switch driver may speak to a variety of
backend busses (mdio, i2c, spi, whatever) and expose:
* If applicable, one or more MDIO busses which ethernet interfaces can
then attach PHYs to via miiproxy/mdioproxy;
* exposes miibusses, one for each port at the moment, so ..
* .. a PHY can be exposed on each miibus, for each switch port, with all
of the existing MII/ifnet framework.
However:
* The ifnet is manually created for now, and it isn't linked into the
interface list, nor can you (currently) send/receive frames on this ifnet.
At some point in the future there may be _some_ support for this, for
switches with a multi-port, isolated mode.
* I'm still in the process of sorting out correct(er) locking.
TODO:
* ray's switch code in zrouter (zrouter.org) includes a much more developed
newbus API that covers the various switch methods, as well as a
capability API so drivers, the switch layer and the userland utility
can properly control the subset of supported features.
The plan is to sort that out later, once the rest of ray's switch drivers
are brought over and extended to export MII busses and PHYs.
