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.)

register, present only on 3c90xB and later NICs. This meant that you could
not use a 1500 byte MTU with VLANs on original 3c905/3c900 cards (boomerang
chipset). The boomerang chip does support large frames though, just not
in the same way: you can set the 'allow large frames' bit in the MAC
control register to receive frames up to 4K in size.
Changes:
- Set the 'allow large frames' bit for boomerang chips and increase
the packet size register for cyclone and later chips. This allows
us to use IFCAP_VLAN_MTU on all supported xl(4) NICs.
- Actually set the IFCAP_VLAN_MTU flag in the capabilities word
in xl_attach().
- Change the method used to detect older boomerang chips. My 3c575C
cardbus NIC was being incorrectly identified as 3c90x chip instead
of 3c90xB because the capabilities word in its EEPROM reports
a bizzare value. In addition to checking for the supportsNoTxLength
bit, also check for the absence of the supportsLargePackets bit.
Both of these cases denote a 3c90xB chip.
- Make RX and TX checksums configurable via the SIOCSIFCAP ioctl.
- Avoid an unecessary le32toh() in xl_rxeof(): we already have the
received frame size in the lower 16 bits of rxstat, no need to
read it again.

This, like the other change, are a no-op unless you have BURN_BRIDGES

Add two new arguments to bus_dma_tag_create(): lockfunc and lockfuncarg.
Lockfunc allows a driver to provide a function for managing its locking
semantics while using busdma. At the moment, this is used for the
asynchronous busdma_swi and callback mechanism. Two lockfunc implementations
are provided: busdma_lock_mutex() performs standard mutex operations on the
mutex that is specified from lockfuncarg. dftl_lock() is a panic
implementation and is defaulted to when NULL, NULL are passed to
bus_dma_tag_create(). The only time that NULL, NULL should ever be used is
when the driver ensures that bus_dmamap_load() will not be deferred.
Drivers that do not provide their own locking can pass
busdma_lock_mutex,&Giant args in order to preserve the former behaviour.
sparc64 and powerpc do not provide real busdma_swi functions, so this is
largely a noop on those platforms. The busdma_swi on is64 is not properly
locked yet, so warnings will be emitted on this platform when busdma
callback deferrals happen.
If anyone gets panics or warnings from dflt_lock() being called, please
let me know right away.

mapped I/O mode, we pause for .1 seconds after issuing the reset command
before trying to poll the 'command busy' bit in the status register.
With my 3c575C cardbus NIC, my Sony Picturebook locks up when it tries
to read the status register immediately after the reset. This appears
to be a problem only with certain NICs on certain hardware, but the
added delay should not hurt cards that already work.
This bug seems to have been brought to light by the fact that the xl
driver now defaults to memory mapped I/O mode instead of programmed
I/O mode like it used to. With PIO mode, the delay isn't needed and
everything works (which is why this NIC worked with 5.0-RELEASE but
not 5.1). I suspect that what's happening is that when the chip is
reset, it takes a little while for the memory-mapped decoding logic
to recover. Trying to access the chip's registers during this period
causes an error condition of some kind that wedges the system.

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.

- When flushing the TLB just toggle the bit in question instead of writing
a magic value that could trash other unrelated bits.
o Assert that the page queues lock is held in vm_page_unwire().

still queued for transmission. This should solve the problem of
the device stalling on transmissions if some link event prevents
transmission.
There are other drivers which have the same problem and need to be
fixed in the same way.
MFC after: 3 days
MAKEDEV: Add MAKEDEV glue for the ti(4) device nodes.
ti.4: Update the ti(4) man page to include information on the
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT and TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS kernel options,
and also include information about the new character
device interface and the associated ioctls.
man9/Makefile: Add jumbo.9 and zero_copy.9 man pages and associated
links.
jumbo.9: New man page describing the jumbo buffer allocator
interface and operation.
zero_copy.9: New man page describing the general characteristics of
the zero copy send and receive code, and what an
application author should do to take advantage of the
zero copy functionality.
NOTES: Add entries for ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS, TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS,
TI_JUMBO_HDRSPLIT, MSIZE, and MCLSHIFT.
conf/files: Add uipc_jumbo.c and uipc_cow.c.
conf/options: Add the 5 options mentioned above.
kern_subr.c: Receive side zero copy implementation. This takes
"disposable" pages attached to an mbuf, gives them to
a user process, and then recycles the user's page.
This is only active when ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on
and the kern.ipc.zero_copy.receive sysctl variable is
set to 1.
uipc_cow.c: Send side zero copy functions. Takes a page written
by the user and maps it copy on write and assigns it
kernel virtual address space. Removes copy on write
mapping once the buffer has been freed by the network
stack.
uipc_jumbo.c: Jumbo disposable page allocator code. This allocates
(optionally) disposable pages for network drivers that
want to give the user the option of doing zero copy
receive.
uipc_socket.c: Add kern.ipc.zero_copy.{send,receive} sysctls that are
enabled if ZERO_COPY_SOCKETS is turned on.
Add zero copy send support to sosend() -- pages get
mapped into the kernel instead of getting copied if
they meet size and alignment restrictions.
uipc_syscalls.c:Un-staticize some of the sf* functions so that they
can be used elsewhere. (uipc_cow.c)
if_media.c: In the SIOCGIFMEDIA ioctl in ifmedia_ioctl(), avoid
calling malloc() with M_WAITOK. Return an error if
the M_NOWAIT malloc fails.
The ti(4) driver and the wi(4) driver, at least, call
this with a mutex held. This causes witness warnings
for 'ifconfig -a' with a wi(4) or ti(4) board in the
system. (I've only verified for ti(4)).
ip_output.c: Fragment large datagrams so that each segment contains
a multiple of PAGE_SIZE amount of data plus headers.
This allows the receiver to potentially do page
flipping on receives.
if_ti.c: Add zero copy receive support to the ti(4) driver. If
TI_PRIVATE_JUMBOS is not defined, it now uses the
jumbo(9) buffer allocator for jumbo receive buffers.
Add a new character device interface for the ti(4)
driver for the new debugging interface. This allows
(a patched version of) gdb to talk to the Tigon board
and debug the firmware. There are also a few additional
debugging ioctls available through this interface.
Add header splitting support to the ti(4) driver.
Tweak some of the default interrupt coalescing
parameters to more useful defaults.
Add hooks for supporting transmit flow control, but
leave it turned off with a comment describing why it
is turned off.
if_tireg.h: Change the firmware rev to 12.4.11, since we're really
at 12.4.11 plus fixes from 12.4.13.
Add defines needed for debugging.
Remove the ti_stats structure, it is now defined in
sys/tiio.h.
ti_fw.h: 12.4.11 firmware.
ti_fw2.h: 12.4.11 firmware, plus selected fixes from 12.4.13,
and my header splitting patches. Revision 12.4.13
doesn't handle 10/100 negotiation properly. (This
firmware is the same as what was in the tree previously,
with the addition of header splitting support.)
sys/jumbo.h: Jumbo buffer allocator interface.
sys/mbuf.h: Add a new external mbuf type, EXT_DISPOSABLE, to
indicate that the payload buffer can be thrown away /
flipped to a userland process.
socketvar.h: Add prototype for socow_setup.
tiio.h: ioctl interface to the character portion of the ti(4)
driver, plus associated structure/type definitions.
uio.h: Change prototype for uiomoveco() so that we'll know
whether the source page is disposable.
ufs_readwrite.c:Update for new prototype of uiomoveco().
vm_fault.c: In vm_fault(), check to see whether we need to do a page
based copy on write fault.
vm_object.c: Add a new function, vm_object_allocate_wait(). This
does the same thing that vm_object allocate does, except
that it gives the caller the opportunity to specify whether
it should wait on the uma_zalloc() of the object structre.
This allows vm objects to be allocated while holding a
mutex. (Without generating WITNESS warnings.)
vm_object_allocate() is implemented as a call to
vm_object_allocate_wait() with the malloc flag set to
M_WAITOK.
vm_object.h: Add prototype for vm_object_allocate_wait().
vm_page.c: Add page-based copy on write setup, clear and fault
routines.
vm_page.h: Add page based COW function prototypes and variable in
the vm_page structure.
Many thanks to Drew Gallatin, who wrote the zero copy send and receive
code, and to all the other folks who have tested and reviewed this code
over the years.
allow recovery from transmission lockups which occur in the middle
of the descriptor list, rather than just at the beginning.
For some unknown reason, Rhine II chips have a tendency to stop
transmitting while under heavy load, possibly due to collisions.
Whether this behavior is due to a hardware bug or a driver glitch
is unknown as of now.
In either case, this change allows the driver to gracefully recover
from such situations.
Special thanks go to The Anarcat <anarcat@anarcat.dyndns.org>, who
bugged me into looking at this and to
Dominic Marks <dominic_marks@btinternet.com>, who performed a great
deal of testing to help characterize this problem.

This is temporary hack, better and generalized solution probably
should be implemented at lower layer(MII or PCI?).

Update the device list to support this NIC. (Discovered these

doesn't support NWAY, the RealTek PHY (both the integrated ones on 8139
chips and the RTL8201L 10/100 PHY) will not report the link speed via
the ANLPAR or BMSR registers. For the 8201L, we need to look in magic
vendor-specific PHY register 0x19. For the 8139 MAC+PHY combo, we have
to be able to test the RL_MEDIASTAT register.
The changes to rlphy.c are based largely on the patch from PR 30836,
however I tried to eliminate some magic numbers by creating an entry
for the 8201 PHY in miidevs.
Also updated if_rl.c to allow the rlphy driver to read the RL_MEDIASTAT
register via the rl_miibus_readreg() routine.
most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.
