Fix all conventional users of the API to pass the KVA of the buffer

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

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800016 as there is no way to tell how

This paves the way for giving sendfile(9) a way to wait for the

This does not affect the memory layout or size of mbufs.

o Increased number of Rx/Tx descriptors to 256 for 8169 GigEs
because it's hard to push the hardware to the limit with default
64 descriptors.
TSO requires large number of Tx descriptors to pass a full sized
TCP segment(65535 bytes IP packet) to hardware. Previously it
consumed 32 Tx descriptors, assuming MCLBYTES DMA segment size,
to send the TCP segment which means re(4) couldn't queue more
than two full sized IP packets.
For 8139C+ it still uses 64 Rx/Tx descriptors due to its hardware
limitations. With this changes there are (very) small waste of
memory for 8139C+ users but I don't think it would affect 8139C+
users for most cases.
o Various bus_dma(9) fixes.
- The hardware supports DAC so allow 64bit DMA operations.
- Removed BUS_DMA_ALLOC_NOW flag.
- Increased DMA segment size to 4096 from MCLBYTES because TSO
consumes too many descriptors with MCLBYTES DMA segment size.
- Tx/Rx side bus_dmamap_load_mbuf_sg(9) support. With these
changes the code is more readable than previous one and got a
(slightly) better performance as it doesn't need to pass/
decode arguments to/from callback function.
- Removed unnecessary callback function re_dmamap_desc() and
nuked rl_dmaload_arg structure which was used in the callback.
- Additional protection for DMA map load failure. In case of
failure reuse current map instead of returning a bogus DMA
map.
- Deferred DMA map unloading/sync operation for maximum
performance until we really need to load new DMA map. If we
happen to reuse current map(e.g. input error) there is no need
to sync/unload/load again.
- The number of allowable Tx DMA segments for a mbuf chains are
now 32 instead of magic nseg value. If the number of available
Tx descriptors are short enough to send highly fragmented mbuf
chains an optimized re_defrag() is called to collapse mbuf
chains which is supposed to be much faster than m_defrag(9).
re_defrag() was borrowed from ath(4).
- Separated Rx/Tx DMA tag from a common DMA tag such that Rx DMA
tag correctly uses DMA maps that were created with DMA alignment
restriction(8bytes alignments). Tx DMA tag does not have such
alignment limitation.
- Added additional sanity checks for DMA ring map load failure.
- Added additional spare Rx DMA map for graceful handling of Rx
DMA map load failure.
- Fixed misused bus_dmamap_sync(9) and added missing
bus_dmamap_sync(9) in re_encap()/re_txeof()/re_rxeof().
o Enabled TSO again as re(4) have reasonable number of Tx
descriptors.
o Don't touch DMA address of a Tx descriptor in re_txeof(). It's
not needed.
o Fix incorrect update of if_ierrors counter. For Rx buffer
shortage it should update if_qdrops as the buffer is reused.
o Added checks for unsupported H/W revisions and return ENXIO for
these hardwares. This is required to remove resource allocation
code in re_probe as other drivers do in device probe routine.
o Modified descriptor index manipulation macros as it's now possible
to have different number of descriptors for Rx/Tx.
o In re_start, to save a lock operation, use IFQ_DRV_IS_EMPTY before
trying to invoke IFQ_DRV_DEQUEUE. Also don't blindly call re_encap
since we already know the number of available Tx descriptors in
advance.
o Removed RL_TX_DESC_THLD which was used to reserve RL_TX_DESC_THLD
descriptors in Tx path. There is no such a limitation mentioned in
8139C+/8169/8110/8168/8101/8111 datasheet and it seems to work ok
without reserving RL_TX_DESC_THLD descriptors.
o Fix a comment for RL_GTXSTART. The register is 8bits register.
o Added comments for 8169/8139C+ hardware restrictions on descriptors.
o Removed forward declaration for "struct rl_softc", it's not needed.
o Added a new structure rl_txdesc for Tx descriptor managements and
a structure rl_rxdesc for Rx descriptor managements.
o Removed unused member variable rl_intlock in driver softc. There are
still several unused member variables which are supposed to be used
to access hardware statistics counters. But it seems that accessing
hardware counters were not implemented yet.

VR_STICKHW register would result in unexpected results on these
hardwares. wpaul said the following for the issue.
The vr_attach() routine unconditionally does this for all supported
chips:
/*
* Windows may put the chip in suspend mode when it
* shuts down. Be sure to kick it in the head to wake it
* up again.
*/
VR_CLRBIT(sc, VR_STICKHW, (VR_STICKHW_DS0|VR_STICKHW_DS1));
The problem is, the VR_STICKHW register is not valid on all Rhine
devices. The VT86C100A chip, which is present on the D-Link DFE-530TX
boards, doesn't support power management, and its register space is
only 128 bytes wide. The VR_STICKHW register offset falls outside this
range. This may go unnoticed in most scenarios, but if you happen to have
another PCI device in your system which is assigned the register
space immediately after that of the Rhine, the vr(4) driver will
incorrectly stomp it. In my case, the BIOS on my test board decided
to put the register space for my PRO/100 ethernet board right next
to the Rhine, and the Rhine driver ended up clobbering the IMR register
of the PRO/100 device. (Long story short: the board kept locking up on
boot. Took me the better part of the morning suss out why.)
The strictly correct thing to do would be to check the PCI config space
to make sure the device supports the power management capability and only
write to the VR_STICKHW register if it does.
Instead of inspecting chip revision numbers for the availability of
VR_STICKHW register, check the existence of power management capability
of the hardware as wpaul suggested.

This adds a function to agp.c to set the aperture resource ID if it's
not the usual AGP_APBASE. Previously, agp.c had been assuming
AGP_APBASE, which resulted in incorrect agp_info, and contortions by
agp_i810.c to work around it.
This also adds functions to agp.c for default AGP_GET_APERTURE() and
AGP_SET_APERTURE(), which return the aperture resource size and disallow
aperture size changes. Moving to these for our AGP drivers will likely
result in stability improvements. This should fix 855-class aperture
size detection.
Additionally, refuse to attach agp_i810 when some RAM is above 4GB and
the GART can't reference memory that high. This should be very rare.
The correct solution would be bus_dma conversion for agp, which is
beyond the scope of this change. Other AGP drivers could likely use

For trying to map the defragmented mbuf (chain) in re_encap() this
introduces re_dma_map_desc() setting arg.rl_maxsegs to 0 as a new
failure mode. Previously we just ignored this case, corrupting our
view of the TX ring.
o In re_txeof():
- Don't clear IFF_DRV_OACTIVE unless there are at least 4 free TX
descriptors. Further down the road re_encap() will bail if there
aren't at least 4 free TX descriptors, causing re_start() to
abort and prepend the dequeued mbuf again so it makes no sense
to pretend we could process mbufs again when in fact we won't.
While at it replace this magic 4 with a macro RL_TX_DESC_THLD
throughout this driver.
- Don't cancel the watchdog timeout as soon as there's at least one
free TX descriptor but instead only if all descriptors have been
handled. It's perfectly normal, especially in the DEVICE_POLLING
case, that re_txeof() is called when only a part of the enqueued
TX descriptors have been handled, causing the watchdog to be
disarmed prematurely.
o In re_encap():
- If m_defrag() fails just drop the packet like other NIC drivers
do. This should only happen when there's a mbuf shortage, in which
case it was possible to end up with an IFQ full of packets which
couldn't be processed as they couldn't be defragmented as they
were taking up all the mbufs themselves. This includes adjusting
re_start() to not trying to prepend the mbuf (chain) if re_encap()
has freed it.
- Remove dupe initialization of members of struct rl_dmaload_arg to
values that didn't change since trying to process the fragmented
mbuf chain.
While at it remove an unused member from struct rl_dmaload_arg.

but on return it will contain the actual amount of data read back from
the bus. Note that this value may be larger than the input value. It
is up to the caller to treat this as an error if desired.
- Change the SMB_BREAD ioctl to write out the updated struct smbcmd which
will contain the actual number of bytes read in the 'count' field. To
preserve the previous ABI, the old ioctl value is mapped to SMB_OLD_BREAD
which doesn't copy the updated smbcmd back out to userland. I doubt anyone
actually used the old BREAD anyway as it was rediculous to do a bulk-read

- Make the smbus driver and devclass public in the smbus module and
push all the DRIVER_MODULE()'s for attaching the smbus driver to

- Map SMB bus error bits to EIO in smbus_error().
- Make the smbus driver call bus_generic_probe() and require child drivers
such as smb(4) to create device_t's via identify routines. Previously,
smbus just created one anonymous device during attach, and if you had
multiple drivers that could attach it was just random chance as to which
driver got to probe for the sole device_t first.

anyway. The other smb drivers only performed single transactions.

Instead the threshould is initialized in device attach. Later the

- Change the workaround for the autopad/checksum offload bug so that

This approach also gives us a chance to zero the pad space to avoid

- With the PCIe devices, it looks issuing a TX command while there's
already a transmission in progress doesn't have any effect. In other
words, if you send two packets in rapid succession, the second one may
end up sitting in the TX DMA ring until another transmit command is
issued later in the future. Basically, if re_txeof() sees that there
are still descriptors outstanding, it needs to manually resume the
TX DMA channel by issuing another TX command to make sure all
transmissions are flushed out. (The PCI devices seem to keep the
TX channel moving until all descriptors have been consumed. I'm not
sure why the PCIe devices behave differently.)
(You can see this issue if you do the following test: plug an re(4)
interface into another host via crossover cable, and from the other
host do 'ping -c 2 <host with re(4) NIC>' to prime the ARP cache,
then do 'ping -c 1 -s 1473 <host with re(4) NIC>'. You're supposed
to see two packets sent in response, but you may only see one. If
you do 'ping -c 1 -s 1473 <host with re(4) NIC>' again, you'll
see two packets, but one will be the missing fragment from the last
ping, followed by one of the fragments from this ping.)
- Add the PCI ID for the US Robotics 997902 NIC, which is based on
the RTL8169S.
- Add a tsleep() of 1 second in re_detach() after the interrupt handler
is disconnected. This should allow any tasks queued up by the ISR
to drain. Now, I know you're supposed to use taskqueue_drain() for
this, but something about the way taskqueue_drain() works with
taskqueue_fast queues doesn't seem quite right, and I refuse to be
tricked into fixing it.
- Correct the PCI ID for the 8169SC/8110SC in the device list (I added
the macro for it to if_rlreg.h before, but forgot to use it.)
- Remove the extra interrupt spinlock I added previously. After giving it
some more thought, it's not really needed.
- Work around a hardware bug in some versions of the 8169. When sending
very small IP datagrams with checksum offload enabled, a conflict can
occur between the TX autopadding feature and the hardware checksumming
that can corrupt the outbound packet. This is the reason that checksum
offload sometimes breaks NFS: if you're using NFS over UDP, and you're
very unlucky, you might find yourself doing a fragmented NFS write where
the last fragment is smaller than the minimum ethernet frame size (60
bytes). (It's rare, but if you keep NFS running long enough it'll
happen.) If checksum offload is enabled, the chip will have to both
autopad the fragment and calculate its checksum header. This confuses
some revs of the 8169, causing the packet that appears on the wire
to be corrupted. (The IP addresses and the checksum field are mangled.)
This will cause the NFS write to fail. Unfortunately, when NFS retries,
it sends the same write request over and over again, and it keeps
failing, so NFS stays wedged.
(A simple way to provoke the failure is to connect the failing system
to a network with a known good machine and do "ping -s 1473 <badhost>"
from the good system. The ping will fail.)
Someone had previously worked around this using the heavy-handed
approahch of just disabling checksum offload. The correct fix is to
manually pad short frames where the TCP/IP stack has requested
checksum offloading. This allows us to have checksum offload turned
on by default but still let NFS work right.

8168 revision code. It turns out this was a mistake though: 0x30000000
really is a valid for the 8168.
There are two possible reasons for there to be two different HWREVs:
1) 0x30000000 is used only for the 8168B and 0x38000000 is only for
the 8111B.
2) There were 8111/8168 rev A devices which both used code 0x30000000,
and the 8111B/8168B both use 0x38000000.
The product list on the RealTek website doesn't mention the existence of
any 8168/8111 rev A chips being in production though, and I've never seen
one, so until I get clarification from RealTek, I'm going to assume that
0x30000000 is just for the 8168B and 0x38000000 is for the 8111B only.
So, the HWREV code for the 8168 has been put back to 0x30000000,
a new 8111 HWREV code has been added, and there are now separate
entries for recognizing both devices in the device list. This will
allow all devices to work, though if it turns out I'm wrong I may
need to change the ID strings
latter is a PCIe 10/100 chip.
Finally fix the EEPROM reading code so that we can access the EEPROMs on all
devices. In order to access the EEPROM, we must select 'EEPROM programming'
mode, and then set the EEPROM chip select bit. Previously, we were setting
both bits simultaneously, which doesn't work: they must be set in the
right sequence.
Always obtain the station address from the EEPROM, now that EEPROM
reading works correctly.
Make the TX interrupt moderation code based on the internal timer
optional and turned off by default.
Make the re_diag() routine conditional and off by default. When it is
on, only use it for the original 8169, which was the only device that
that really needed it.
Modify interrupt handling to use a fast interrupt handler and fast
taskqeueue.
Correct the rgephy driver so that it only applies the DSP fixup for
PHY revs 0 and 1. Later chips are fixed and don't need the fixup.
Make the rgephy driver advertise both 1000_FD and 1000_HD bits in
autoneg mode. A couple of the devices don't autoneg correctly unless
configured this way.
