shared code update and small changes in core required
Add support for new i210/i211 devices
Improve queue calculation based on mac type
MFC after:5 days
support of new deltas for both em and igb drivers.
Note that I am not able to track all the bugs fixed in
this code, I am a consumer of it as a component of my
core drivers. It is important to keep the FreeBSD drivers
up to date with it however.
One important note is there is a key fix for 82574 in this
update. Also, there are lots of white space changes, I am
not happy about them but have no control over it :)
igb now has a queue notion that has a single interrupt
with an RX/TX pair, this will reduce the total interrupts
seen on a system. Both em and igb have a new watchdog
method. igb has fixes from Pyun Yong-Hyeon that have
improved stability, thank you :)
I wish to MFC this for 7.3 asap, please test if able.
drivers. These add new hardware support, most importantly
the pch (i5 chipset) in the em driver. Also, both drivers
now have the simplified (and I hope improved) watchdog
code. The igb driver uses the new RX cleanup that I
first implemented in ixgbe.
em - version 6.9.24
igb - version 1.8.4
will sometimes fail to initialize problem due to a lock
contention with management hardware. However, in order to
deliver that fix it was necessary to take a shared code
update as a whole, and this required scattered changes in
the core code to be compatible.
The em driver now has VLAN HW support added as the igb
driver had previously.
MFC after: ASAP - in time for 7.1 RELEASE
proved to be necessary to make the static drivers work
in EITHER/OR or BOTH configurations. Modules will still
build in sys/modules/igb or em as before.
This also updates the igb driver for support for the 82576
adapter, adds shared code fixes, and etc....
MFC after: ASAP
