or packet forwarding). There are more efficient ways to do this
but for now use the least intrusive approach.

we're on a 32-bit/64-bit bus or not. Use this to decide if we should
set the PCI dual-address cycle enable bit in the C+ command register.
(Enabling DAC on a 32-bit bus seems to do bad things.)
Also, initialize the C+ command register early in the re_init() routine.
The documentation says this register should be configured first.
autoload and then copying the contends of the station address

work right. This gets around the problem, and allows us to read
the station address correctly on the 8169S.
- Insert a delay after initiating packet transmition in re_diag() to
allow lots of time for the frame to echo back to the host, and wait
for both the 'RX complete' and 'timeout expired' bits in the ISR
register to be set.
- Deal more intelligently with the fact that the frame length
field in the RX descriptor is a different width on the 8139C+
than it is on the 8169/8169S/8110S
- For the 8169, you have to set bit 17 in the TX config register
to enter digital loopback mode, but for the 8139C+, you have to
set both bits 17 and 18. Take this into account so that re_diag()
works properly for both types of chips.
ethernet chips. This driver is pretty simple, however it contains
special DSP initialization code which is needed in order to get
the chip to negotiate a gigE link. (This special initialization
may not be needed in subsequent chip revs.) Also:
- Fix typo in if_rlreg.h (RL_GMEDIASTAT_1000MPS -> RL_GMEDIASTAT_1000MBPS)
- Deal with shared interrupts in re_intr(): if interface isn't up,
return.
- Fix another bug in re_gmii_writereg() (properly apply data field mask)
- Allow PHY driver to read the RL_GMEDIASTAT register via the
re_gmii_readreg() register (this is register needed to determine
real time link/media status).
for the 8169S, according to my sample board. The RealTek Linux driver
mentions 0x00800000. I'm assigning this to the 8110S until I get
more info on it. (The (preliminary) RealTek docs only say that 8169S/8110S
chips will have some combination of those two bits set, but doesn't say
exactly what bit combination goes with which chip variant.)
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).
Note that this code works for the sample 8169/Marvell 88E1000 NIC
that I have, but probably won't work for the 8169S/8110S chips.
RealTek has sent me some sample NICs, but they haven't arrived yet.
I will probably need to add an rlgphy driver to handle the on-board
PHY in the 8169S/8110S (it needs special DSP initialization).
multi-fragment transmission. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a requirement
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
not RL_8139.
The next step is to add jumbo buffer support.
Tested with the Xterasys XN-152 NIC (hard to beat $29 for a gigE NIC).
series, the 8139C+ has a descriptor-based DMA mechanism, and its
performance is actually pretty respectable. Note: the 8139D chip does
not support C+ mode. Only the 8139C+ and 8169 gigE chips support C+ mode.
Supported features:
- RX and TX checksum offload
- hardware VLAN tag insertion/extraction
- TX interrupt moderation using the 8139's on-board timer
Everything should be properly busdma'ed and endian-independent, so
things should work ok on non-x86 platforms. Unfortunately, my call
for testers on this code was met with deafening silence, and I don't
have access to any non-x86 FreeBSD boxes at the moment, so this is
speculation.
The device detection code has been cleaned up a little as well
(thanks to Michal Mertl) for the patches.
There are also updates to the rl(4) man page (which I accidentally
checked in before when I updated the dc(4) man page. Oops.)
Todo: finish support for the 8169 gigabit ethernet chip. This
mainly requires writing an rlgphy driver to handle the 8169's built-in
PHY. This will have to wait until I actually get my hands on an 8169
card for testing though. (I still can't find a source for one in the
U.S. Suggestions/pointers welcome.)

Update the device list to support this NIC. (Discovered these
cards lying around the lab at work.)
calling vtophys() and contigmalloc()/contigfree() directly. Hopefully,
I have shaken out all of the problems with busdma on the alpha now.
(Everything seems to work as expected.)
Also, change the max RX DMA limit to 1024 bytes instead of "unlimited,"
as the latter seems not to work correctly on the alpha that I tested.
(At 100Mbps, all attempts to receive frames yield RX errors.)
- Use pci_get_powerstate()/pci_set_powerstate() in all the other drivers
that need them so we don't have to fiddle with the PCI power management
registers directly.
- Use pci_enable_busmaster()/pci_enable_io() to turn on busmastering and
PIO/memory mapped accesses.
- Add support to the RealTek driver for the D-Link DFE-530TX+ which has
a RealTek 8139 with its own PCI ID. (Submitted by Jason Wright)
- Have the SiS 900/National DP83815 driver be sure to disable PME
mode in sis_reset(). This apparently fixes a problem on some
motherboards where the DP83815 chip fails to receive packets.

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.
Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.
Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.
Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

- Fix a bug in rl_rxeof() handler: in the case where the packet wraps
from the end of the receive buffer back to the beginning, we need to
insure that at least sizeof(ether_header) bytes make it into the first
mbuf. If we don't, then doing eh = mtod(m, struct ether_header *)
loses. To avoid this, we use m_pullup() to suck at least MHLEN -
RL_ETHER_ALIGN bytes into the first mbuf, which should also help
small packets fit into a single mbuf.

- Make the transmit threshold autotuning: start off with a small value
and jack it up when TX underruns are detected.
- Also improve TX error recovery: kick the chip in the head with a
reset/init sequence to make sure it recovers afer a transmit error.
few changes:
- there was a bug in rl_list_tx_init(): it was calculating the registers
to initialize incorrectly. Not a problem on the x86 where unaligned
access are allowed, but a problem on the alpha.
- set rl_btag accordingly depending on the machine type
- rl_rxeof() needs to be sure to longword-align the packet data. This
is a little tricky since we copy the data out of the receive buffer
using m_devget(), however there's no way to tell m_devget() to fill
in the mbufs starting at a particular offset. To get around this,
we tell m_devget to copy bytes+2 bytes starting at offset offset-2. This
results in the proper alignment, and we can trim off the two leading
bytes afterwards with m_adj(). We also allocate some extra space before
the start of the receive buffer so that we don't get into trouble in
the case where offset == 0.
- redefine vtophys() in if_rlreg.h for the alpha.
Making this chipset work on the alpha is sort of the inverse of putting
a jet engine on a rowboat (putting a propeller on a 747?) but when
you can get these things for $5 a pop, it's hard to stop people from
buying them.
- Rewrite the transmit section to be a little less bogus.
- Set ifq_maxlen correctly. RL_TX_LIST_CNT - 1 is wrong, because for the
RealTek, RL_TX_LIST_CNT is 4. Set it to IFQ_MAXLEN instead.
Addtron appear to have their own VIA Rhine II and RealTek 8139 boards

vendor and device lists in the vr and rl drivers so that we can probe
the additional devices.

rl.4 + RELNOTES.TXT: mention that SMC EtherEZ PCI 1211-TX is supported

This commit fixes the PCI vendor/device ID for this device
and updates the description string to reflect the actual identity
of the device.
I also changed the transmit encapsulation routine to always to
buffer copies on transmit. We end up doing this 99% of the time
anyway. I also tweaked the code that pads packets out to the minimum
length (60) bytes. I was fixing up the m_pkthdr.len value but not
m_len. I don't think this makes that much difference in the grand
scheme of things, but it makes me feel better.

I consider this driver stable enough that I want to give it some
exposure in -current.
