treated as multicast frames and filtered, but when only when "adopting"
running firmware. By "adopting", I mean using pre-existing firmware
loaded from eeprom at PCI reset, rather than firmware loaded by the
driver.
a version that i posted earlier on the -current mailing list,
and subsequent feedback received.
The core of the change is just in sys/firmware.h and kern/subr_firmware.c,
while other files are just adaptation of the clients to the ABI change
(const-ification of some parameters and hiding of internal info,
so this is fully compatible at the binary level).
In detail:
- reduce the amount of information exported to clients in struct firmware,
and constify the pointer;
- internally, document and simplify the implementation of the various
functions, and make sure error conditions are dealt with properly.
The diffs are large, but the code is really straightforward now (i hope).
Note also that there is a subtle issue with the implementation of
firmware_register(): currently, as in the previous version, we just
store a reference to the 'imagename' argument, but we should rather
copy it because there is no guarantee that this is a static string.
I realised this while testing this code, but i prefer to fix it in
a later commit -- there is no regression with respect to the past.
Note, too, that the version in RELENG_6 has various bugs including
missing locks around the module release calls, mishandling of modules
loaded by /boot/loader, and so on, so an MFC is absolutely necessary
there. I was just postponing it until this cleanup to avoid doing
things twice.
MFC after: 1 week
for pci_cfg_restore() to be exported. It was tested using a
hackily accessed pci_cfg_restore().
- Add ifmedia_removeall() to mxge_detach() in order to stop leaking
an ifaddr
- Fix a small acounting bug introduced by the locking code shuffle
which could cause spurious watchdog resets now that we have a
watchdog.

locking in preparation for adding a watchdog handler (callouts must
not use sleepable locks). This required shuffling memory and
interrupt allocation to the attach routine rather than if_ioctl so as
to avoid potential sleeps while bringing up the interface.
- initialize ifq_drv_maxlen correctly
- mark the interface as jumbo capable
- keep stats on the number of times the hw transmit queue filled and
was restarted.
- Fix bug preventing adoption of running firmware
- Set PCIe max read request size to 4KB
- Read PCIe link width from config space
- Assume aligned completions from the southbridge ports
of intel E5000 chips
- Use aligned firmware when link width is x4 or less
- Add hw.mxge.force_firmware tunable to allow user to force
selection of aligned (or unaligned) firmware
long being DMA'ed 2 (or 1) bytes past the end of the mbuf and corrupting
random kernel memory. I had forgotten about the 2 bytes of implict
padding the firmware assumes.

- Added support for multicast filtering, now that the firmware
supports it. Note that this is not yet tested, as multicast
seems to panic -current (even w/o mxge loaded)
- Added workaround to cope with different irq data struct size on
pre-multicast firmware which can found running on nics.
- Added Intel E5000 PCIe chipsets to list providing aligned completions.
- Replaced various magic constants with #defines, now that they are
defined in the firmware headers.
in the transmit busdma tag, so I moved the segment list off the
stack.
- Fixed transmit routine to ensure it doesn't read past the end
of an mbuf when parsing headers.
- Corrected handling of odd length segments. Setting MXGEFW_FLAGS_ALIGN_ODD
is required only when offloading the checksum of that frame.

- Copy ethernet firmware down in small chunks so as to avoid bugs
in early versions of the bootstrap firmware.
- Attempt to "adopt" the running firmware if we cannot load a suitable
firmware image via firmware(9).
- Separate firmware validation into its own routine, and check the
major/minor driver/firmware ABI version.
!IFQ_DRV_IS_EMPTY(). Taking this into account, I re-structured the
transmit routine so as to avoid adding another if/then in the
critical path.
Thanks to brueffer for showing my how to test with altq/pf.
- Update the firmware to the latest released firmware
(1.4.3), which corresponds to the firmware in the
latest shipping drivers from Myricom. This firmware
fixes several bugs in the firmware's PCI-e implementation,
and it also changes the driver/firmware interface:
o TSO was added, and changed the format of the transmit
descriptors.
o The firmware no longer counts transmits descriptors,
but frames. So the driver needs to keep a count
of the number of frames sent.
o The weird interrupt strategy changed to a normal receive
return ring. This ring is much bigger, and we may be
able to support DEVICE_POLLING.
o Myricom's header files changed the name of firmware
related #define's and enums (s/_MCP_/FW_).
- Stopped spamming the console with lots of printfs unless
mxge_verbose (or bootverbose) is set.
- Made additional information available via sysctl, including
the results of a PCI-e DMA benchmark run at device reset.
- Decreased the excessively long timeouts when sending commands
from 2 seconds to 20ms.

s/myri10ge/mxge/g replacement in the myri10ge files. A few contuation
lines were joined because of the regained columns.
- Hook the mxge driver back to the build.
More info regarding these nics can be found at http://www.myri.com.
Please note that the files
sys/dev/myri10ge/{mcp_gen_header.h,myri10ge_mcp.h} are internally
shared between all our drivers (solaris, macosx, windows, linux, etc).
I'd like to keep these files unchanged, so I can just import newer
versions of them when the firmware API/ABI changes. This means I'm
stuck with some of the crazy-long #define names, and possibly
non-style(9) characteristics of these files.
Many thanks to mlaier for doing firmware(9) just as I
needed it, and to scottl for his helpful review.
