showing the message creates other side-effects. Remove the Rx
FIFO overrun message in interrupt handler. msk(4) should recover
from the FIFO overruns without any user intervention. Users can
still check the Rx FIFO overrun counter from MAC MIB statistics
maintained in driver(dev.msk.0.stats.rx.overflows).
Unlike most other PHYs there is no easy way to know which media
type the PHY supports on Marvell PHYs. MIIF_HAVEFIBER flags is now
passed via bus-specific instance variable of a device. While I'm
here add 88E1112 specific work around to set SIGDET polarity low.
Many thanks "Eugene Perevyazko <john <> dnepro dot net>" who kindly

IF_ADDR_UNLOCK() across network device drivers when accessing the
per-interface multicast address list, if_multiaddrs. This will
allow us to change the locking strategy without affecting our driver
programming interface or binary interface.
For two wireless drivers, remove unnecessary locking, since they
don't actually access the multicast address list.

These controllers use newer descriptor format and the new descriptor
format uses status LE to indicate the status of checksum. Rx
checksummed value used in previous controllers were very cryptic
and I failed to understand how to use them. In addition most
controllers in previous generations had Rx checksum offloading bug.
While I'm here introduce a MSK_FLAG_NORX_CSUM flag to bypass
checking Rx checksum offloading as Yukon FE+ A0 has status LE bug.
this feature hardware automatically computes TCP/UDP payload
offset. Introduce MSK_FLAG_AUTOTX_CSUM to mark the capability.
Yukon Extreme B0 revision is known to have a silicon for the
feature so disable it. Yukon Extreme B0 still can do Tx checksum
offloading but CPU have to compute TCP/UDP payload offset. To
enable traditional checksum offloading, disable automatic Tx
checksum calculation capability.
Yukon Extreme A0 revision could not use store-and-forward mode for
jumbo frames(silicon bug) so disable Tx checksum offloading for
jumbo frames.
I believe controllers that have MSK_FLAG_AUTOTX_CSUM capability or
new descriptor format do not have Tx checksum offload bug so
disable checksum offloading workaround for for short frames.

Yukon Extreme uses new descriptor format for TSO and has Tx frame
parser which greatly reduces CPU cycles spent in computing TCP/UDP
payload offset calculation in Tx checksum offloading path. The new
descriptor format also removed TCP/UDP payload computation for TSO
which in turn results in better TSO performance. It seems Yukon
Extreme has a lot of new (unknown) features but only basic
offloading is supported at this time. So far there are two known
issues.
o Sometimes Rx overrun errors happen when pulling data over
gigabit link. Running over 100Mbps seem to ok.
o Ethernet hardware address shows all-zeroed value on 88E8070.
Assigning ethernet address with ifconfig is necessary to make it
work.
Support for Yukon Extreme is not perfect but it would be better
than having a non-working device. Special thanks to jbh who fixed
several bugs of initial patch.

severe silicon bugs that can't handle VLAN hardware tagging as well
as status LE writeback bug. The status LE writeback bug is so
critical we can't trust status word of received frame. To accept
frames on Yukon FE+ A0 msk(4) just do minimal check for received
frames and pass them to upper stack. This means msk(4) can pass
corrupted frames to upper layer. You have been warned!
Also I supposed RX_GMF_FL_THR to be 32bits register but Linux
driver treated it as 16bit register so follow their leads. At least
this does not seem to break msk(4) on Yukon FE+.

Yukon FE+ is fast ethernet controller and uses new descriptor
format. Since I don't have this controller, the support code was
written from guess and various feedback from enthusiastic users.
Thanks to all users who patiently tested my initial patches.

The GM_GP_CTRL register may have stale content from previous link

Whenever we lost link, check whether Rx/Tx MACs were enabled. If both

mark controller's capability. Controllers that have jumbo frame
support sets MSK_FLAG_JUMBO, and controllers that does not support
checksum offloading for jumbo frames will set MSK_FLAG_JUMBO_NOCSUM.
For Fast Ethernet controllers it will set MSK_FLAG_FASTETHER and it
would be used in link state handling.
While here, disable Tx checksum offloading if jumbo frame is used
on controllers that does not have Tx checksum offloading capability
for jumbo frame(e.g. Yukon EC Ultra).
filtering handle this. Introduce a new function msk_rxfilter that
handles Rx filter configuration and multicast setup as well as
promiscuous mode. This simplifies code a lot.
Promiscuous mode always have preference to any other Rx
filtering so don't disable the mode when ALLMULTI is set.
for jumbo frame.
o Nuke unneeded jlist lock which was used to protect jumbo buffer
management in local allocator.
o Added a new tunable hw.mskc.jumbo_disable to disable jumbo
frame support for the driver. The tunable could be set for
systems that do not need to use jumbo frames and it would
save (9K * number of Rx descriptors) bytes kernel memory.
o Jumbo buffer allocation failure is no longer critical error
for the operation of msk(4). If msk(4) encounter the allocation
failure it just disables jumbo frame support and continues to
work without your intervention.
Using local allocator had several drawbacks such as requirement of
large amount of continuous kernel memory and fixed (small) number
of available buffers. The need for large continuous memory resulted
in failure of loading driver with kldload on running systems.
Also small number of buffer used in local allocator showed poor
performance for some applications.
This should fix occasional Tx checksum corruption issue.

have hardware ram buffer. The silicon bug seem to be triggered by
pause frames if receive buffer is not aligned on FIFO word(8 bytes).
To workaround the issue, make sure to align Rx buffers on 8 bytes.
Unfortunately this workaround requires yet another Rx fixup for
strict alignment architecture machines to align IP header.
For newer hardwares that lacks ram buffer may not have this bug so
check number of available ram buffer size to see the existence of
ram buffer.

Disable hardware checksum offload for VLAN interface to fix the bug.

Revision 1.4 of if_mskreg.h was not enough to workaround the bug.
To workaround it, inrease GMAC FIFO threshold by one FIFO word to
flush received pause frames.

free function controlable, instead of passing the KVA of the buffer
storage as the first argument.
Fix all conventional users of the API to pass the KVA of the buffer
as the first argument, to make this a no-op commit.
Likely break the only non-convetional user of the API, after informing
the relevant committer.
Update the mbuf(9) manual page, which was already out of sync on
this point.
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800016 as there is no way to tell how
many arguments a CPP macro needs any other way.
This paves the way for giving sendfile(9) a way to wait for the
passed storage to have been accessed before returning.
This does not affect the memory layout or size of mbufs.

No MFC is anticipated.
