under load.
This patch has been tested by Thomas and other for more than a month now,
and all (known) hangs seem to be solved.
Thomas's explanation of the patch:
* Fix the problem with the printing of the RX-error.
* Code from if_fet do better deal with the RX-recovery including a
timeout of the RX-turnoff.
* The call to vr_rxeof before vr_rxeoc have been moved to a point
where the RX-part of the chip is turned off. Otherwise there is a
window where new data could have been written to the buffer chain
before the RX-part is turned off. If this happens the chip will see
a busy rx-buffer. I have no evidence that this have occured but
god knows what the chip will do in this case!
* I have added a timeout of the TX-turnoff. I have checked and in
my 900 MHz system the flags for turnoff (both RX & TX) is seen at
the first check in the loop.
* I could see that I got the VR_ISR_DROPPED interrupt sometimes and
started to thinking about this. I then realized that no recovery is
needed for this case and therefore I only count it as an rxerror
(which was not done before).
* Finally I have changed the FIFO RX threshhold to 128 bytes. When I
did this the VR_ISR_DROPPED interrupt went away. Theory: The chip
will receive a complete frame before it tries to write it out to
memory then the RX threshold is set to store'n'forward. IF the frame
is large AND the next rx frame also is large AND the bus is busy
transfering a TX frame to the TX fifo THEN the second received
frame wont fit in the FIFO and is then dropped. By having the RX
threshold set to 128 the RX fifo is emptied faster.

This is pretty much fixes any issue I can find:
- Watchdog timeouts were due to starting the TX DMA engine
before we had a packet ready for it. So the first packet
sent never got out only if we sent more then one packet
at a time did the others make it out and not blow up.
Of course reseting the chip then caused us not to transmit
the first packet again ie. catch-22. This required logic changes.
- Combine interrupts on TX packets being queued up.
- Don't keep running around the RX ring since we might get
out of sync so only go around once per receive
- Let the RX engine recover via the poll interface which is
similar to the TX interface. This way the chip wakes
up with no effort when we read enough packets.
- Do better hand-shaking on RX & TX packets so they don't
start of to soon.
- Force a duplex setting when the link comes up after
an ste_init or it will default to half-duplex and be
really slow. This only happens on subsequent ste_init.
The first one worked.
- Don't call stat_update for every overflow. We only monitor
the collisions so the tick interval is good enough for that.
Just read in the collision stats to minimize bus reads.
- Don't read the miibus every tick since it uses delays and
delays are not good for performance.
- Tie link events directly to the miibus code so the port
gets set correctly if someone changes the port settings.
- Reduce the extreme number of {R,T}FD's. They would consume
130K of kernel memory for each NIC.
- Set the TX_THRESH to wait for the DMA engine to complete
before running the TX FIFO. This hurts peak TX performance
but under bi-directional load the DMA engine can't keep up
with the FIFO. Testing shows that we end up in the case
anyways (a la dc(4) issues but worse since the RX engine hogs
everything).
- When stopping the card do a reset since the reset verifies the
card has stopped. Otherwise on heavy RX load the RX DMA engine
is still stuffing packets into memory. If that happens after
we free the DMA area memory bits get scribled in memory and
bad things happen.
This card still has seemingly unfixable issues under heavy RX load in
which the card takes over the PCI bus.

Non-SMP, i386-only, no polling in the idle loop at the moment.

mbuf allocation fails, and fix (i hope) a couple of style bugs.
I believe these printf() are extremely dangerous because now they can

The performance improvement varies, depending on CPU and memory
speed, but can be quite large especially on slow CPUs. I have seen
over 50% increase on forwarding speed on the sis driver for the
486/133 (embedded systems), which does exactly the same thing.
The behaviour is controlled by a sysctl variable, hw.dc_quick which
defaults to 1. Set it to 0 to restore the old behaviour.
After running a few experiments (in userland, though) I am convinced
that doing the m_devget() is detrimental to performance in almost
all cases.
Even if your CPU has degraded performance with misaligned data,
the bcopy() in the driver has the same overhead due to misaligment
as the one that you save in the uiomove(), plus you do one extra
copy and pollute the cache.
But more often than not, you do not even have to touch the payload,
e.g. when you are forwarding packets, and even in the often-cited
case of NFS, you often end up passing a pointer to the payload to
the disk controller.
In any case, you can play with the sysctl variable to toggle between
the two behaviours, and see if it makes a difference.

On small boxes (e.g. the net4501 from Soekris, featuring a 486/133)

alone. Faster CPUs might benefit less from this change, but in any
case the CPU has better things to do than waste time on useless
memory-to-memory copies.
Several drivers (for Tulip-like cards) might benefit from a similar
change.
Right now the new behaviour is controlled by a sysctl variable,
hw.sis_quick which defaults to 1 (on), you can set it to 0 to

variable is only there to show how much you can gain with this

Jonathon Lemon's driver (gx) is at least as fast and has more features
and is likely to be better supported.
It is also possible that Intel might support this chipset in FreeBSD
with their own driver. Somewhat secretive and furtive rumblings from
certain Yahoo employees have indicated that this might happen soon.
I'm a little unhappy at the lack of discussion on the net list about
this, or on developers, or on hackers, or the lack of mention on
audit. This then leaves me to try and figure out the right thing
to do.
I've concluded that the right thing to do is to remove wx from FreeBSD,
as this is probably best for FreeBSD.
What the heck, the OpenBSD version will benefit.
1. Add wx_txint_delay as a tunable (defaults to 5000 now, or ~5ms) and switch
to using delayed TXDW interrupts. Since the chip continues to reload the
TIDV with this value for each descriptor written back, this allows continued
deferral of the actual interrupt until the last packet completes (assuming
that 5ms between multiple packets transmitting is reasonable).
2. Add two other SYSCTL entities:
hw.wx.dump_stats
hw.wx.clear_stats
to be used, hackey hackey, to get the watchdog routine to dump/clear
the current softc statistics.
Usage would be:
sysctl -w hw.wx.dump_stats=UNIT
to cause the current stats to be dumped for UNIT.
3. Attempt to clean up wx_detach routine so we don't panic. Well, things
still panic, but given that the code is just like other NIC drivers,
I suspect it's actually something elsewhere, like e1000phy, that's actually
blowing up.
4. Skip the entire test for runt packets- after doing somet thinking
and experimenting, I believe that the chip only doesn't like it if
the whole frame to xmit is < 16 bytes- each TFD can be some fragment
of that. This should improve performance a chunk because of all of the
(14 byte ETHERHEADER + DATA) mbuf chains.
5. Keep track of total frame length. Try not to xmit an odd byte frame-
this is supposed to get around some dumb Cisco switch problems.
6. On the last packet, also set Interrupt Delay && Report Packet Sent
(see #1 above)
7. Attempt to do xmit garbage collection *first* in order to avoid setting
IFF_OACTIVE if at all possible.

Put the ifnet/arpcom structure at the head of the softc (PR 29249).
Don't do tx gc in the interrupt service routine- that seems to make
things a bit more efficient.
Enable jumbo support by default- but this version of 'jumbo' is broken
because it really is just using multiple tfd/rfd's to match a packet,
which will never be > CLSIZE anyway.
This should begin the first steps toward cleaning this driver up.

seems to set up memory spaces correctly. This change actually did work for
me using -STABLE, XFree86 4.0.3 ~ some snapshot of DRI awhile back. I sent
mail to dfr to no avail, perhaps someone else would like to test it with
DRI.
Anyway, people have been nagging me about this change for awhile, so here's
the commit.

This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except
that there is a thread associated with each process.

dual function card. It needs pretty much the same flags as the 656C,
except that it seems to need both the INVERT_MII_PWR and INVERT_LED_PWR
flags set. Tested with cardbus in -current as of today.
Also added support for the 3c656, which looks to be the same as
the 656B, except it doesn't need the EEPROM_8BIT flag. I think. This
one is untested, but the added support should not break any of the
other cards.
prevent/workaround TX lockups in this driver. The secret seems to be to
not let the TX DMA queue become too full. If we have too many packets
in the queue, we should wait for them to drain a bit before trying to
queue more. This should prevent the lockup from occurring, and if it
does occur, there is special code in sf_start() to kick the NIC in the
head and get it going again.
Special thanks to Glen Neff for helping me test this fix.

Also added to code to detect TX underruns and automatically increase the

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.)
common_attach is wrong as common attach initialize some fileds used by
mediainit routine. This was hard to notify because loading driver as kld
lead to mediainit routine being called after common_attach, though probe_phy
is called before.

used to, a lot longer in fact than xl_wait() is prepared to wait.
When we do the RX reset in xl_reset(), this cases xl_wait() to time out
and whine. We wait a little extra time now after the RX reset, which
should silence the warning.
Thanks to obrien for finally getting me a box with a NIC that
causes this problem for me to tinker with.
a bunch of frames. In this case, the dc_link flag is cleared, and dc_start()
stops draining the if_snd send queue, which results in lots of 'no buffers
available' errors being reported to applications. The whole idea behind
not draining the send queue until the link comes up was to avoid having
the gratuitous ARP being lost while we're waiting for autoneg to complete
after the interface is first brought up. As an optimization, change the
test in dc_start() so that we only bail if dc_link is not set _and_ there
are less than 10 packets in the send queue. If the queue has many frames
in it, we need to drain them. If the queue has a small number of frames
in it, we can hold off on sending them until the link comes up.

something: offset into the first mbuf of the target chain before copying
the source data over.
Make drivers using m_devget() with a first argument "data - ETHER_ALIGN"
to use the offset argument to pass ETHER_ALIGN in. The way it was previously
done is potentially dangerous if the source data was at the top of a page
and the offset caused the previous page to be copied (if the
previous page has not yet been appropriately mapped).
The old `offset' argument in m_devget() is not used anywhere (it's always
0) and dates back to ~1995 (and earlier?) when support for ethernet trailers
existed. With that support gone, it was merely collecting dust.

setting the 'max packet size' register in window 3. This only
works for cards based on the cyclone or newer chipsets (i.e. it
won't work with the original 3c905/boomerang cards).
There is a trick which will work with the boomerang, which is to turn
on the 'large packets ok' bit in the MAC control register, however this
lets the chip accept any frame up to 4K in length, which is larger than
the mbuf cluster buffers we use to receive frames. If somebody sends us
such a frame and the chip DMAs it to us, it could write past the end
of the cluster buffer and clobber something.

use TAILQ macros. The sk_attach_xmac() routine calls sk_init_xmac()
before doing the transceiver probe, but *before* ether_ifattach()
is called. This causes sk_init_xmac() to call sk_setmulti(), which
tries to do a TAILQ_FOREACH(), which it can't do because ether_ifattach()
hasn't done a TAILQ_INIT() yet. This causes a NULL pointer dereference
and panic in sk_setmulti() at driver load/initialization time.
Fixed by calling ether_ifattach() before the MII probe.
The code in RELENG_4 still uses the old way of enumerating the
multicast list and doesn't have this problem. Yet.
